Link's reactions make the reaction and aim stages 15x faster, his speed makes the arrow grabbing and notching 10x faster. It takes a total of 0.2 seconds from thinking about using the bow to the arrow hitting Duke. Twice as fast as a peak humans 0.4 second gun speed. Duke's peak human speed can't compete with Link's superhuman speed, any speed or reaction he has Link can do in a tenth of the time.
There's no reason to suggest he doesn't think as Link does. Further note, preemptive blocks will never work. Sole exception being if you're curled in a ball doing a constant block to you head and someone kicks at it. In a fight? No. You only block when you know the opponent is about to strike.
I can when these movements have nothing to do with activating. Its the same deal with time looking like it stops when using it. Excessive movements that aren't to do with the actual ability.
If it can block anything with the exception of Ganon its legit telling us how much strength is needed to break it, GJ. Now we just need Duke to have a gigajoule level weapon on hand.. Seriously, where are you getting 0.2+ for him to react from? Thats for people with bad reactions. You do know that 0.2 is 'average human' reactions, right? Peak human is 0.1. Link has superhuman reactions, so dont be giving him a slow mans mind. On the other hand Duke's a mere peak human at best. Dodge, shield, NL, kill him before he shoots. Many an option.
Stimulation for an action, the actual action as shown by the archery vid can take even decent archers to fire slowly. What the hell, show me a peak human reacting, loading an arrow and fireing it in 0.1 seconds....you wont find any. Wrong, Links speed? links not even fast, if your trying to use the boots then you have to prove his hands and reactions are also increased in speed. The 0.4 is from holster shooting, duke has no holster and his guns are in his hands, all he has to do is pull a trigger, less than a second. Only links got a lot more actions and far more to think about than duke.
Some sort of circular logic your trying here? "no reason to suggest he doesnt", why? technically hes not link and if he does think, then both of them know eachothers moves, a major advantage to both. Erm, yes they will, if you hold up your shield (tactic used by players in the game) you can block his strikes.
They clearly are otherwise why would he do it? your not making any sense, he takes out som sort of bottle/glowing object, does a gesture and the spell is slowly cast, completly useless.
Not reall,y your just using gameplay mechanics. Thats good reaction actually, 0.2+ is stimulation (which should take 0.2 by itself) AND an action which is damn incredible, your misunderstanding how reaction and stimulation to a reaction works, humans percieve the world constantly, knowing something is going to happen, or watching something happening like in this example of Link vs Dark Link is completly different to reacting on the fly to something you canont expect, like a spray of bullets from Duke.
Ok, dodge fails since his not a bullet timer, dies in a hail of rounds OR a missle which disintegrates him. Shield gets shot into shrapnel and kills link, NL is useless as its too slow, him reaching for the spell alone will kill him.....
You seem to have a fan fiction of Link doing all this in less than a fraction of a second when even one of these actions would take a second or so at least.
