shaddow dragon, i repeat, I am not arguing that a blind person cannot be as good, acquire the skills or anything else. i am simply saying that such acquisition of skill takes more work! than a sighted person needs to put in to become equally skilled, which is why the games are inaccessible.

But that's just it... it isn't any trouble. And you make it sound like we're the only ones who read faqs when in fact, we aren't. Sighted gamers, once again, do as much looking up as we do... this is why faqs are there. Command lists only give special moves and supers, they do not list combos

Hi Clemment. I am not saying you personally cannot play such games, or that sighted people do not use faqs. i am saying that the amount of time and trouble it takes a sighted user, from the day he/she gets the game out of the box to the point of acquiring a certain loevel of proficiency at

Not always. In fact, not at all in most of the older games. In older games that's exactly why there were FAQ's, because you either had to buy a separate strategy guide in addition to the game, or do a ton of experimentation. In the newer games they often include movelists, but they aren't

I will agree there. Though I disagree about knowledge of the game itself... the first day I picked up soul calibur five I brought it home, unpacked it, and leapt right into story mode... and knew half the moves already. Why? Because movelists float around the internet well before the game is

Sorry again forthe double post, but I do have to agree that tutorials, while possibly an issue, aren't really necessary... and as to having no idea what's going on, in most fighting games... that isn't a problem when the name of the move is being shouted so loud. Gotta love anime for that.
