How does he tell what his charecters are doing?

deathemperor 07-29-2005 04:32 PM

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?
