There's a little sound when crouching, but I wouldn't be able to hear
it in an intense fight. It's really not noticable.

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.
