(see desc) Input Lag #1 - DC PS2/3/4 PC fighting game very rough test SNK etc
9A very crude input delay test of various fighting games on DC, PS2, PS3, PC, and PS4, counted frame by frame from 60 fps cell phone footage of the button being pressed to when the on-screen character reacts to the button press, mostly w/ KOF Kyo's light punch.
You can play the video frame by frame by pausing it, then using the "." key to advance, or the "," key to rewind.
DC (composite), PS2, and PS3 (component) video converted to the HDMI monitor with an Elgato Game Capture HD.

After filming all the above, added a few more:

11:31 - SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos - 4 frames
- Found my monitor was using a 1-frame-delay processing filter (Acer's "ACM"), turned it off:
KOF 98 UM (PS2)
- 11:43 - ACM on
- 11:53 - ACM off
KOF XI (PS2)
- 12:11 - ACM off
- 12:22 - ACM on
- Found out older KOF games had intentional (4?) delay frames added to their normal attacks, and fewer (1?) to their movements, so made a movement test to demonstrate that 3-frame difference (with ACM off):
12:35 - KOF 98 UM (PS2), progressive
