They can do this because they aren’t reacting, they are memorizing.

They simply practice a course or level etc to such a degree that they know exactly when to press a certain button and then work on increasing the speed and perfecting the pattern.

It is no longer a real time reaction to events on screen at that point, but out putting a pre-planned sequence.
