Smashing your face into a bumper is a sure sign of a bad master cylinder. Press down on the peddle, it should stay firm and not leak down / move forward slowly

wait what.. ? i have no idea how to test my master cylinder...

Rail just said how to test...
The brakes shouldn't leak... There shouldn't be any movement on the machine with firm pressure of your foot... Aswell as the pedal shouldn't bottom out or go slowly down...
What's so confusing?

Bleed the brakes again .. get all the air out . Get a brake bleeder from harbor freight... It's a few bucks I explained how to make one .

Little helpful info on the fluid types:
DOT 3: most common fluid in everything, attracts water
DOT 4: like a juiced-up DOT 3...higher temp boiling point, but totally compatible, attracts water
DOT 5: silicone-based, does not draw moisture, NOT compatible with ABS because it compresses more than DOT 3 & 4, messing with the ABS computer, but it won't hurt paint like the other two
