How does he tell what his charecters are doing?

quite impressive. he's trained for more than 10 years to have it, not a short time for a gamer. There must be someone telling what his char doing in training I think or else I don't know how he'd make a combo.

one thing for sure he won't be the world's Soul Calibur II champion.

I find it amazing he started on asteroids and then worked his way up from there. There are not a lot of audible clues in asteroids until you crash and controlling the "drift" of the spacecraft is pretty tricky, let alone for a visually impaired person.

he's proly faking.

Yea but like they said, he can face away while playing..I seriously doubt he is faking. I wanna see him play FPS's liek counterstrike and Half Life xD.

I don't think he can play CS and HL or games other than fighting ones, it's a whole different story.

You would think that is someone got on the other side of him that he would be punching the wrong way......

He's totally blind - his optic nerves didn't connect.

For fighting games, sometimes just doing special moves and blindly attacking without defence works.

Sorry.. but.. How would a game be fun without vision at all?

The same way that a movie or TV show would be enjoyable to a visually impaired person, I suppose.

Well It would be impossible I believe for him to play FPS games..but soul calibur and games like that are just moving 2 different ways and memorizing buttons

id kick his ass!!!

Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it?
(I don't know)
What makes him so good?

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

I thought I was
The Bally table king
But I just handed
My pinball crown to him

Even on my usual table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

There are a bunch of people who are button pounders on mortal kombat. I played the xbox version for a long time, Alot of audio cues for that game, and alot of timing, he could use blocks alot, hear them going for it, then strike back, other games I am not sure what he would do.

I guess nobody figure out that u can make fake noise in MK. I know that u can fake throw your weapon in all version of MK. I was MK champ in Calgary, Alberta and dispose of 508 ppl in one day. My prize was a Stuff Toy. I believe it was a waste of my time then. The character's I use was Johnny Cage/Kano/Scorpion.

LOL Sid, I'm glad I was not the only one thinking of that song by 'The Who' when I read this ;)

How can you NOT think of that song while you read this? We're just the only ones who admitted it!
