Hi, folks.
Long story short: I was a competitive fighting games player until I got blind when I was 19-years old in end 2000. My favorite titles were back in the days SF Alpha 3, Tekken 3 and Tag Tournament, The King of Fighters from 97 to 2000 and Mortal Kombat 2 (never really liked 3, UMK3 and 4).
Well, now I am blind and so I read many people here posting about playing mainstream fighting games on PS and PC, and I would really, really love to give it a try. So here I am with some questions for you wise blackbelts:
1. Is it (enphasis) REALLY (ends enphasis) playable? I mean, there are essentially two kinds of players in fighting games, the ones who know what they are doing and the button smashers who repeat the same one or two moves again and again and sometimes end up winning a round or match. No problem at all with the second kind of player, word, games should be for fun, but I used to have fun being the other kind. So, honestly, I can spend some hours in training modes, but will I eventually be really knowing what's going on on the screen in order to react appropriately? I need to talk to great players here lol
2. Where to start? Which games are best for a blind player to master? Menus are not a biiig problem, as I can easely ask for visual assistance, I am concerned more about gameplay, for me right now it seems very difficult to determine wheter my opponent is standind, crouching or jumping towards or away from me. So, for mercy of a poor newbie, please, show me the way
thanks a lot
