But I've seen crazier stuff done by players. --- Quote ---If you yourself are not capable of floating your own switch at high speed, and you don't know anyone who is, perhaps you should tone down your statements about what's possible with it. --- End quote --- I showed I was capable of doing this. That is what I did for your test. That methodology is what was being discussed this entire time. |

Not that it's even relevant what the "pros" with ASCII sticks do, based on everything that has been stated thus far. --- End quote --- Give me the name of any video compression algorithm that changes the speed of events they portray. The relevance is I'm looking for evidence of super-fast fire rates. |

You made a claim. --- End quote --- I'll level with you. That 36ms average is very hard to accomplish, and I was only able to get that low 1 other time. But it is possible, as the result shows. Mounted in a panel, I can very regularly break below the 100ms average on up to 10 presses, and at times, even in the 80's. Honestly, your software doesn't really paint the whole picture. The way it calculates, when it averages 10 presses, it can make a very fast 8 press stream look very "middle of the road" when the last couple of activations aren't pulled off as quickly. But one thing which your test would be quite good at, is something sustained over a longer period of time. I've clocked 50 presses at your 120ms average for a 4 shot burst, using the methods we have been discussing. |

my rate as stated originally was 100-120ms. I seem to have abbreviated it to 120ms. That's the rate I fire at all the time over a game, so I can do it for a 4burst or for much longer, eg my first try of 100 presses was 108ms. edit: that 100@108ms must have involved some tremours, I slip in and out of it when trying to fire fast. If I want to fire faster I can tense my hand and induce tremors, that gets me down to 90ms (average not best), but I don't want to do that, and it's also no good for defender. It's what I'd do for Track & field, but never liked that game. I've noticed that I can fire faster by sort of karate chopping the button at 45 degrees (not inducing double clicks though), This is to do with being able to wiggle my hand faster side to side than up and down. (when my joystick had poor response I actually tested Defender using joystick left/right for up down, and it worked, made it easier to do a tight spray pattern). You can say my tester doesn't show the whole picture, but I question the value of any technique that isn't repeatable at will. Remember I've made no claims that I'm fast, only stated my speed. I was hoping to learn to fire faster. PS. my latest version merges the average and burst speed versions http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user8-AnhlVV4igo-0.py |
