That's part of it. Yes, your reaction time is physically limited and there isn't dick you can do about that.Not true.
Reaction time is less to do with training and more about genetics and age, mostly you're really just learning how to enter a deeper focus and read things better, which translates to more consistent reactions.
theres a small 1% thats just going to be MUCH faster (100ms) than the rest of us. Luckily they probably gravitate towards sports.
Street Fighter requires you react faster, you have less of a window in which to react, and it's far more demanding on your execution within that window.
If you're used to something that demanding doing less demanding things naturally comes easier. It feels like you have forever and a day to put in the inputs and you'll really start to feel how more leinient the game is with it's inputs and it's timing about things.
It's a bit more than that. Playing MK is like driving in a circle with an automatic, SF is making hair pin turns going as fast as you possibly can with a stick.MK is an automatic, SF is a stick.
Will it improve your physical and genetic makeup, no. But it will force you to drive a lot better and make other things seem easier.
And I should state that some of the stuff in SF and some the tricks seem and feel like they are overly complicated for the sake of being overly complicated. The entire game is really geared towards making the learning curve turn into a cliff at a certain point. There are problems with that, less fun for some, way too brutal on newer and mid level players, and prone to make sure that the slightest case of jitters in a tournament means you're going to drop combos and get eaten.
But if you really want to torture yourself and improve things, it's not a half bad way to go about it.
Most of my friends prefer MK because they can actually do all the combos they see in combo videos. Trying to pull that sort of stuff on SF turns into a massive case of frustration because the game is deliberately brutal about it.
I've really gotten a lot better at combos and reversals in all games after having to deal with the 1 frame BS that is in street fighter, it's a pain but it's worth learning.
