How does one get the top high score in arcade games?

Whenever I play arcade games, I always see these crazy high scores on games like "Ball Turn", "Flappy Shooter", "Color Mountain" etc...and I know most of them are hacked, but you can see the ones that aren't, they're still damn good. So is it all about reaction time with those games? or is it something else?
