Hello Thomas,
Well for the wolf bite, you could just jump over the wolf. the lightning and
everything else you can duck under it easily I would think. It's hard for me
to record street fighter since I own a laptop, and it doesn't have line-in
ports so it would sound absolutely horrible. I've been looking for a USB
adapter of some kind I can use for this but haven't had any luck. It's hard
to explain how blocking works since you've never played the game and I can't
record myself playing it either. however I'm not the only one that plays the
game, so perhaps someone else could record some gameplay for you and explain
what's going on?

Hi Yohandy,
Oh, I know. I never said ESP Whoop Ass was anything more than a very
very simple game, and that really wasn't my point. I just wanted to
point out that reaction time to block the punches in that game is hard
and takes practice. I assume here you had to do a fair amount of
practicing to get good at avoiding/blocking attacks in Street Fighter as
well.
I've never played Street Fighter 4 so as a developer it is pretty hard
for me to design something based on a style of combat I've never
experienced before. This is Philip's problem is well. You are talking
about something neither of us have have any personal knowledge or
experience with. Other than going out and buying the game and trying it
myself I really don't know how exactly to design what you are talking
about outside of theory and what we have heard from you. Could you
perhaps record a section of game with you playing this, and then have
you explaining what is happening?
As for myself I'd like to try and add a feature like this to MOTA beta
11, but I'd need some rather specific help and suggestions on this. What
sounds would you recommend for each of the enemy creatures. What would
the timing be like with the input thread and the enemy AI thread so it
would insure the player plenty of time to block, avoid, or counter the
enemy attack. How exactly would you block a fireball, lightning bolt,
or wolf bite. Sounds to me like those attacks are better avoided than
blocked. Just some things to ponder.
Smile.

Thomas,
I think all we'd need are some sound indicators to warn us when to jump,
duck etc. For example in mainstream fighting games like street fighter 4,
there are actually sounds for this sort of thing. when a super or ultra
move
is performed on street fighter 4, it makes this distinctive sound that
let
you know it's coming. dodging isn't at all easy, and you need to react
with
super human speed to jump away from or block the move, but it really
makes
gameplay fun and puts the player in some interesting and quite desperate
situations, especially online where people are totally unpredictable.
I've
even managed to do all the sfiv trials normal and hard with sound cues
alone
and using online faqs for the move lists, something most sighted people
haven't been able to do. so the point I'm trying to make is it doesn't
necessarily need to be easy to perform this move, just doable. it'll be
up
to the individual player if they wish to use these sound cues or simply
play
the game like they're used to. I honestly don't think it'll be that hard
since our brain can respond in a split second to cues before we even have
time to think about it. I've played the ESP game you've mentioned, and I
honestly find it quite simple in comparison to mainstream games I've
played.
