better reaction time?

[darkshark]

has anyone noticed a drastic improvement in their overall reaction time just in everyday life because of FFR/SM/DDR etc? i notice that if i happen to knock something off a shelf or something, im able to instantly go and catch it, as opposed to "ow it hit my foot" which was me a couple months ago. I think im even able to read a bit faster than i used to, i dunno, maybe its just me, but ive noticed a great increase in my reaction time. how about you?

Nope, I did martial arts for 6 years and had insane reaction times, then I stopped that, and even FFR or SM can't get those reactions back, they are continuously waning, oh well.

Yes, I did a project mesuring reaction time for people who played FFR consitantly. The numbers not only grew over time, but also grew if the subject had just finished playing. Pretty cool.

For me I've had an increase in reaction time for my hands, the rest of me is still pretty slow.
My eyes are quicker now too

Not for me. . I mean, I'm pretty decent at FFR and junk, but my reaction time to other things is poor. I've always been slow, my brother says I have the reflexes of a dead cat. But yeah, not me. . nothing new here.

I started to read books faster, but was fast to begin with. So not sure if it is related at all.

I've always had very fast reactions due to playing a lot of sports and martial arts. I did notice (in school) that after playing a little bit off FFR, I do faster on computer tests.

My reaction in my body has gotten slower since I've quit soccer (damn concussions), but my alterness has seemed to have gotten better, and between SM and playing clarinet, I'm very good with my hands

Playing Stepmania has given my bones better rhythm. Also it has made my fingers more nimble.

Overall, my reaction time has increased, and when playing the game I can start to read all of the notes (such as currently MaxForever).
