Uh... I don't agree with your statement. we do not learn to play a game the
same way sighted people do. If you truly believe that, tell one of your
sighted friends to play looking at a wall or with their eyes closed. bet all
they learned will fly out the window as soon as the visual aspect is
removed. to us, It feels like we learn just like anyone else, because we
don't have sight to compare it to. yes we learn how to press buttons the
same way obviously, but we do not learn about game technique, character
positioning, etc by looking at a screen. You also said that every fighting
game has sounds for each and every action. again, I disagree. most recent
game that comes to mind is mortal kombat vs dc universe. no sound indicates
when it's time to do breakers or deploy rage. and there are a bunch of other
stuff we do in games that's more instinct and plain practice than anything
else. for example if someone's crouching in mk, how can you tell? certainly
not by sound.

There isn't a fighting game on the market for the ps3 that doesn't let you
do each and everyone of those things. lol. Every attack in street fighter
IV makes sounds, as is the case with every other game from Capcom.
As for MK keeping the gameplay easy for blind people to learn... we learn
the same way sighted people do, so that's not exactly a true statement.
lol. Soul Calibur is easy to learn, as are games like King of Fighters,
Samurai Showdown, Tekken, Dead or Alive, Virtua Fighter... etc. Jumping
online, well, yes, that is simple too since people can challenge you
straight out of arcade mode if your status is set to joinable, which it
seems to be by default.

well guess accessible was the wrong term lol. I know that no fighting
game is completely inaccessible, I mean there gotta be punching sounds
and the like, what I meant is what's the level of playability and
complexity for the blind gamer? do focus attacks make sound when you
deploy them? that sort of thing. can we easily jump online and fight some
random opponent as easily as any sighted gamer would? MK's been good at
keeping the gameplay extremely easy for a blind gamer to learn, but that
isn't the case with most companies. when I get a fighter, my goal is to
get every trophy, unlock every character, and master the game to the
point where I can defeat the average sighted gamer. if this can't be done
by a totally blind person, then I don't consider the game fully playable.

There are no street Fighter games that were not accessible. lol. Come to
think of it, I haven't actually encountered a fighting game that isn't
successful.ly playable by blind people. I haven't played it yet, but if
I've heard anything at all, then I know what it's like, and it's easy to
tell what's going on.

I still don't have the game. I want the collectors edition, and I can't
find it anywhere in this area. as a result, I had to order it online.
problem is the company didn't have them in stock so now I must wait. so
for whoever's played it, how's the gameplay? how accessible is the game
meaning are there enough sounds to allow us to fight successfully? do
menus rap and are they complex to navigate? Also if you've played
online, how does that feature work? I certainly hope it's a much better
online system than MK vs dc.
