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.

@Bold: Several key words here:  COULD.  Which you also CAN learn things from playing pretty much any video game about SOMETHING.  The THING you would learn about Martial Arts from those fighting games is in no way practical and very limited.  

edit: The other key words are "a lot" (which simply is relative and vague) and your underlined word.

I agree, people can learn things from playing any realistic videogame, even if the application is limited. But would you say the same thing about a non-realistic game like Super Smash Bros?
