Sorry, not every action... I meant every special move or attack. Certainly
not moving all the time but for 98 percent of actions there are sounds
involved.
And when I said we learned the same way sighted people do, I meant key
pressing and button combos. Character positioning can also be learned,
assuming you know the stages.

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.
