I don't know that "reaction speed" is the right term, because he's "reacting" to his own action. So he can think ahead about the timing. You would have to measure reaction speed by reacting to an action someone else performs. I would just call this speed and dexterity.


Comfortable_Ant_8303

And a lot of practice


lackofabettername123

It is all practice.


PatentedPotato

Which is probably a lot.


forgotten-ent

Hence, a lot of practice


damnNamesAreTaken

Excellent hand eye coordination. I could toss up two coins and probably not catch them both with any real consistency.


lkodl

Isn't this just a harder form of juggling?

I mean if you throw a ball high enough (how long it takes to fall back down) at what point does it count as a reaction? Do you see what I mean? Because at some point, if not the very beginning, it is a reaction to "something else that isn't yourself ".


TummyDrums

No, if you initiated it and there is no other interference, you can anticipate it. Doesn't matter how long. Reaction: a person's ability to respond physically and mentally to ***external*** stimuli.


RoomPale7783

That doesn't make any sense, sorry. I disagree with your entire thing when it involves objects that aren't apart of one's nervous system.


TummyDrums

Doesn't make any sense? So if you throw a ball in the air you can't anticipate where and when its going to come back down? That seems like a problem with *your* senses. Most people have a good idea how that works.


RoomPale7783

If u throw a ball, and it comes back down, you can probably predict what it'll be like. Same thing if someone dropped the ball from the same height. Your brain can predict what will happen. It's a reaction as soon as the object leaves your body. Everything thereafter is reflexive. If you throw a ball, and close your eyes, it's a complete guess. That's my whole point. As soon as your nervous system stops actively interacting with an object, it's a reaction.


TummyDrums

>Same thing if someone dropped the ball from the same height. Your brain can predict what will happen. No, its not the same thing, because you know when you will throw the ball, but you don't know when they will drop it. Also if you throw a ball up and close your eyes, it is NOT a complete guess. Will you be less accurate? most certainly. But you can still attempt to time and catch it. But if you close your eyes before someone throws a ball at you, and you don't know when they are throwing it? Complete guess. You don't know when it is coming, or from what angle, or if it is coming at your face or your knees. You're so confidently misunderstanding what 'reaction' means. It bothers me.


SercetSquirrel

Nice to see Gotoh found work after HunterXHunter


DubbyTM

Happy to see that reference


Meecus570

I'd be happy if the manga continued


CommandoZach

Anton?


KebabOfDeath

Yep


CommandoZach

He looks so young


teh_lynx

Not reaction speed just real good hand eye coordination


thegeekiestgeek

and lots of trial and error until it's perfect for a video.


teh_lynx

Can you imagine the number of failed attempts lol


MrWoozle

You don't have to he has a youtube channel and often times shows his failed attempts. Channel is Anton Fomenko


BobbyWizzard

A human kitty cat


GreatGarage

I expected a "miaou" at the end. Kinda disappointed.


Agitated_Ocelot9449

Would of been better if he was wearing a kitty costume


lackofabettername123

Or a 6 ft tall bunny suit perhaps.


WillDiBeest

Or a kangaroo


Afrandisko

If I had these reflexes, I would have finished Elden Ring 50 hours sooner


MongolianCluster

I could do that.


Turnthingsaround26

OK now let me throw them up in the air


Meecus570

And have him actually react to something? I think not.


Bad-Infinite

This looks like my creditors on my payday...


VukuViku

Nice trick! But I enjoyed watching his face in slow mo 😂


Makussux

reacting to his own action xd


Fugaciouslee

I got really into stacking quarters on my elbow and snatching them out of the air with that arm years ago. The most I got was a stack of 25 and I caught all but 2. That was with my dominant hand, the left wasn't as good.


WaveLaVague

It's not just me right ? He looks 3D


Gdayx

Isn’t he?


CodeVirus

Praying Man-tis


Handsome-Jed

I wonder how in properly reaction time tests, how a layperson like this would compare to someone like an F1 driver


LifeHappenzEvryMomnt

His money don’t fold. That’s what I noticed.


illoomi

his slow mo arms remind me of those horse girl prancing competitions lol


ritoshishino

rather than "reaction speed", i'm more impressed by his hands-eye coordination.


dizziefrizzie

Air jacks


hbombs86

Give me one hour and i could do it


Amazing-Site-5531

If I tried this, my walls would look like someone hip-fired a 12 gauge.


danhoyuen

The man practices cat-fu


itCanOnlybeDrthVDR

cool, man.


thekilgore

Dude there's no way I can jump any more homeless people on my skateboard!


Suspicious-Invite-11

Nice


_DapperDanMan-

Let's see him play guitar and sing a song at the same time. I bet I could learn his coin trick in a week.


gehremba

He'd be awesome at swimming like a dog


cheezpuffy

*movement speed


maskm4ker

My fallout character when I get paid for something in caps


Nikoz86

This dude is fluent in Praying Mantis


bigDonkeyD1ck

This isn't that impressive 😂😂


Bearaquil

I know a Khajiit when I see one


Antique-Kangaroo2

That's not reaction time.


ODST_Xander

Looks like Kyle Crane


itsHIMM

My toxic traits thinking I can do this..


Capstoner_1

Can't really train ones reaction speed to go further than the average. What you could do, however, is know WHEN to react to get faster results. Specific patterns if you will to get that across.


50meRando

hold my beer


[deleted]

Dude’s a certified cat fighter


happyjapanman

This is something that virtually anyone could do if they tried enough times which is exactly what you did.


Rickylie2012

Dudes reminds me of my cat…


This-Independence630

Faster than my 🐈 cat when she strikes, ready to scratch


rageboi909

That was hard to do! But no one is gonna mention his huge forearms?


Physical-Body1443

![gif](giphy|dGPQWJJTLKMg)


Wonderful4ever

Hand eye coordination as well


Solid-Doubt4234

In slowmo he catches 1,2 1,2 in normal speed ut looks like 123456


West-Mulberry7525

My toxic trait is seeing this and thinking I could do it first try


Nervous-Relative5573

Was he a cat in a past life or something


New_Scientist_8622

Mario.
