I'm not saying you wouldn't notice a difference, I'm saying there's nothing stopping you from building all the exact same mechanics that would function just as well.

The best way to do it - by sliding and keeping the finger on square. 1 frame... very difficult to do = lightning move. No way to do it for RS edge-to edge, especially when you are doing the series of sways in match.

I'm pretty sure Soul Calibur and Skullgirls have that feature in the training mode. I'm not sure if the inputs are displayed frame by frame. Aaaaallllmost sure that is the case on Soul Calibur, though, as it shows you when inputs are made on the same frame, like a direction and a button. So moves require that precision.

Is the difficulty of the input in tapping the button quickly enough? In holding the input or a specific (short) amount of time? Or in pressing both buttons at the exact same time?

Also, did you see Daisu example?

The technique he's talking about is difficult because it requires you to press two buttons simultaneously, releasing one of them after 1 frame and holding one of them down. It quite honestly doesn't sound that difficult.. Press two buttons at the same time, release one of them immediately. Depending on where the two buttons are located this is either moderately difficult (requiring a different grip) or fairly easy from what I can tell.

Again though, just pressing G for one frame is easy. The difficulty lies in the fact that you're doing a symmetrical button press followed by asymmetrical button release. I can imagine that messing with your brain.

[edit]

Oh and how much leeway the game gives for simultaneous button pressing matters too. If there's no leeway then the timing can be tricky too. Since you're intending to hold one of the buttons for one frame, you'd need to be frame perfect in pressing them together as well.

But if the game isn't that strict and still considers buttons pressed within a few frames of one another as simultaneous, even when you've let go then it's not hard at all.

Either way, the timing and precision is the tricky part, not the speed.


[edit 2]

As I expected.. It's actually quite easy..

- I am sure they don’t have this, so no games w frame data for analog sticks to test 1 frame cost for Anaog stick edge to edge
- as I said in Akira’ example no timing. Difficulty ONLY is for too short time 1 frame for just releasing yr finger up to 1-2 mm
- Example from Smash bros is a joke, nothing explains in our discussion
Our discussion btw is about - RS needs tighter Dead zone OR we need an option slider for it.
It is needed for responsiveness and reliability of sways series.
But
It seams that I was not be heard... sad.

Again, you're pressing two buttons, not one.

It is an example of a game that requires you flick your controlstick all the way left on one frame and then all the way right on the next frame to do a certain technique.. This is literally what you're saying is impossible. It shows that there is no discussion, you're just wrong..

I don't even necessarily disagree with you. Maybe the deadzone needs to be a bit tighter. Maybe we do need a slider. I don't know.

All I know is that your "1 frame RS flicks are not possible" argument is simply not true. It's not just possible, it's actually not even that difficult..
