Re: [Audyssey] Clearing Up Some Myths About Mainstream Games

[Clement Chou]

All very wel said, Tom. Having read that, I know that fighting games 
aren't for everyone. But for the curious, it is a good place to 
start, and once you do start, you might find that fighting games have 
a lot more depth and replayability that you don't imagine would be 
there when you first start out. I remember... the first game I ever 
played. A fighting game. It was super street fighter 2 turbo, on the 
snes. 1997... at the age of 5. I still remember mashing buttons 
trying to get attacks to land, and having nothing work. When I did my 
first fireball and heard it connect... man was I extatic. lol. But 
having said that, I've grown up on fighting games, and it's become 
something of a passion. Games like this are overlooked... frankly 
because the concept of two people slugging it out isn't very 
complicated, on the surface. But there are so many types of fighting 
games with different fighting engines it gets complex and is a fun 
thing to try and learn all of them. And Tom, what you said about 
menus is also a good point. Let me mention again.. import games. I'm 
a huge fan of them, and especially with a ps3 that is region-free I 
can get any fighting game from whatever region. Usually this means 
Japan. Now, most major fighting games have english menus... but there 
are many that are in Japanese, and in those instances, sighted people 
have to find translations on the internet, and anotate them somehow. 
In that case, they're as blind as we are... pardon the expression. 
Not being able to read the language is just as good as not knowing 
what menu items are because we can't see them.
