I ask because FPS gameplay contains a whole host of different skills, including the precision of your movements, the ability to accurately predict and track the enemy’s position on screen, as well as your reaction times, sequencing movements and so on. Potentially you could be exceptionally good at some of these and unusually bad at others and still emerge as a good FPS player.
Fighting games are a bit more pure, leaning more heavily on reaction times, timing and sequencing of moves.
Recent understanding of dyslexia is that it’s actually a kind of sequencing problem in the brain. I wonder if this is more descriptive of the issues faced by ADHDers?
I wonder now if I tended to avoid those more frenetic fighting games because to your point it becomes reaction, rection, rection. It's almost constant throughout a fight to the point where it looks like button mashing to the uninitiated. If my reaction times are a more limited pool, I could see them getting exhausted in a fast fighting game where as something like Bushido Blade just needs those great reflexes for a couple exchanges. Similar in FPS where you can balance reactions and game sense. Even Elden Ring boss fights aren't as crazy as a Tekken match against a skilled opponent.
