Sorry I've Been gone for so long it's summer vacations and I have been studying for the new SATs as well as playing some new games anyway I have been doing a test and these are my results. The Whole point of this test is Posture at Play. I did this test with three different postures. The Postures I used were Slouching, standing and sitting straight up. I tested this on three games Call of Duty MW3, Battlefield 3, and of course Darksouls. Call of Duty and Battlefield were both tested via TDM so the quality of my teammates make a significant impact on the test but these are my results
When I was standing up playing Call of duty these were my results
Kills Deaths
So by standing I averaged out about 1.62 K/D
When I was sitting which I use as my base standard my results were
While sitting I got a 1.33 K/D now here are my Results for slouching
The K/D this chart here is .98
So from this data we can tell that at least for me I tend to play about 20% better when I stand as opposed to sitting down. And it seems that when I slouch I play 27% more poorly as I would if I was just sitting.
Now to Darksouls
I followed the same process as before when I was standing stall
Out of 10 fights I won 8 of them.
Sitting I won 8 of them
Slouching I only won 5 times.
Unlike call of duty it seems that in darksouls standing or sitting it really doesn't seem to matter. Slouching on the other hand lowered my win ratio by 30%. Just a thought
My battlefield 3 data was largely the same as my call of duty data
My Standing K/D is about 1.65
Sitting K/D was about 1.4
Slouching surprising was about 1.02
If you would like to see the Chart then just ask.
But from these Genre's anyway standing tall seems to help for these reason I suspect
I tried my best to remove as many variable as I could but here are the ones I could not change
Remember I used the same loadout and fought on the same maps to get these results. In the case of Gankers I through those matches out of the results because I didn't the extra players to ruin the results.
However this theory however is incomplete I need more people to try this out and possible in different Genres if applicable. I also need different skill ranges more skilled players maybe benefit more than unskilled ones. Give this some thought try it out when you feel ready to tell how it went for you then just send me a PM answer the poll at the top or just stick your experience in the responses.
TLDR
Standing seems to produce favorable results more than sitting or slouching. My experiment is not perfect and I need more people to try this out. Respond via PM responses or on the poll
Thank you for reading.

But from these Genre's anyway standing tall seems to help for these reason I suspect
- Point of View- the in game elements on the TV are a lot easier to see standing up
- Blood flow- Having the blood flow easier through one's body at least in my experience helped me focus as well as act faster
- Decreased distance from the television- In my experience whenever I stood up I was about 3in closer to the TV than I was sitting
I tried my best to remove as many variable as I could but here are the ones I could not change
- Skill of Teammates
- Skill of Enemies
- Luck
- Skill or instincts of the player
- Equipment of enemies
- Equipment of teammates and player
- Strategy used
