I am wondering if its hard for people to play piano?
Ive heard its hard to put both hands in synch

I tried to play piano for litterally the first time in my life and it took me like 5 hours per song(estimate) to learn Superman + 100 Year by Five for Fighting completely without struggling

Do I have piano talent or im just being delusional

well those songs arent hard but their not the easiest, only practice makes you better...

I have no idea how long it takes the average person to pick up piano, but all people are different when it comes to playing instruments and playing different instruments. I started teaching myself to play piano a few months ago. It took me a couple hours to get "The Scientist" by Coldplay to the point where I could sing and play at the same time. A few days later I went for Piano Man, that one took a good chunk of time.

The thing about any musical instrument is that teaching yourself a song is not the same as being proficient with the instrument. You could know 1000 songs and be able to play them perfectly, but memorization and actual skill are very different.

Just practice. Make sure you don't only play songs though, because that won't necessarily make you better. Songs are all fine and good, but do finger exercises and learn a little about the theory too. (Assuming you really want to improve)

Anyone can learn the piano, playing at an average to above-average ability is a taught skill, writing and composing is where talent comes in.

Inb4 someone tells me that not everyone can play an organ in four voices

try diffrent koordinations, when u play 2 phrases at the same time it usually gets harder, usually in most pop songs, when ur right hand is moving, ur left hand is not moving, and when ur left hand is moving right hand is still, try out some classic pieces by Yiruma, its good basic practice

It's not hard to synchronize both hands,
it is hard to play 2 separate tempo things with both hands, which is not synchronized.
