Why isn't perception speed considered reaction.

[Reio35]

Even in real life it says perception speed is relative to your reaction speed. Like if some is able to track a Light speed attack they should scale to it's speed

Don't think that relative means they are equal; they also works different.

We can perceive the best MMA fighter attack, doesn't mean we can react to it, perception speed is seeing, reaction speed is actually doing something the moment you see it both are completely different thing as one just need you to stand there to gain it and the other require you to actually move your body (doesn't need to actually move some distance) to get it.

Okay but the human eye moves at about 30 milliseconds and our reaction is about 200 milliseconds.

So your reaction speed is about 9x slower then your perception speed. I think we can still judged their reaction speed based off this

 

[Antoniofer]

Ok, first 200/30 its 6.66 difference, not x9, and second, 30 ms its actually faster than 200 ms (also, not sure if eye movement speed would be the same as perception speed).

Reaction time in itself is meaningless without distance to go with it; also everybody with a healthy brain has Subsonic perception; just because my eyes can keep track of a Car going 100 mph doesn't mean I can physically dodge it if it was coming at me and just noticed as it was on meter away from me.
