 And I did so because they comprise fighters with real techniques and real moves. You can actually learn a lot about martial arts playing those games (in a way that you can't on books or videos, because on videogames you do it yourself and you apply each move when you feel the need to do so).

On behalf of all of us that have studied a real martial art, we're going to have to ask you to stop.

I've also studied a real martial art, so speak for yourself.

No doubt inspirations are there.  EVen fully motion capped at times.  Namco's motion capture of Marcelo Pereira for Eddy Gordo's character in Tekken 3 was jaw dropping.  But you can't 'learn' the martial art of capoeira simply through imitation of moves.  I'm almost shocked he even insinuated that you could.  But then I read some of the first post again and now I'm not shocked anymore.

I didn't say one could learn a martial art by playing videogames. I said one could learn a lot about martial arts by doing so.

I guess it's not the first time you misread things, then "enter in shock" and then it's facepalm moment.
