Here is a great write up on Reaction times and how they relate to fighting games. I suggest everybody have a read.

It is possible to react to 16 frame start up move, but you basically have to be expecting it, and ready to react to it. But talkes about how your head is full of other shit too so it makes it tough to react to certain things in certain games.
If you are expecting something, its called making a read. Pure reactions to an attack under 20 frames in a match is incredibly dificult, if not outright impossible.
