That's just it though. Daigo used to play as Ryu, and back then is
was the same, but Ryu has the ability to bombard people from far away
with his fireballs and keep them in a corner... and with Yun it's
virtually the same thing, except you're doing it close in. And the
thing that Tokido had to watch was Yun's diving kick. Akuma has low
health, so even if Daigo paused for the crucial time Tokido
couldn't've necessarily gone in there and wailed away because if
Daigo countered him he would be in more trouble than when he started out.
Here's the thing. I don't think it needs to be a full time job for
you to be good. I've won small tournaments. Nothing to be bragging
about, just unofficial tournaments me and some of my friends set up
every now and then but I always wind up on top. What one has to do
when playing someone sighted is do something that might catch them
off guard and is something they aren't expecting. Example. Abel has
an ultra with an incredibly short amount of startup frames... but Yun
has one that is even shorter. Instead of trying to dodge or block the
ultra, I'll counter with my own. Since Yun rolls towards his enemy
before starting the move, and I can't get hit while rolling, this
move is completely safe for me... and as long as Abel is in range, he
gets punished big time for not making sure I was immobile before
doing his ultra. And I agree. It might take more practice than
sighted players, but there is no reason we can't be just as good as
them. Like I said earlier, most blind gamers aren't into learning
that much about a game... because a lot of us like to focus on
different games and genres. I do too, but fighting games will always
be my top genre because I litterally grew up playing fighting games.

Hi,
yeah, I noticed that Daigo was rather relentlessly pounding on his
opponent once he got in close. That was that thing I meant about
sleepless nights, because it will take those if you want to get all
these combos down so well that you can chain them so well. I think
timing is the key here. If he would have waited just half a second
to long to see what Tokido would do, this chain could easily be broken by him.
But Daigo really has this timing down and Tokido didn't seem to have
a chance really.
But well, such a game unfortunately can't be a full time job for
everyone, so it really would take a very long time for one of us to
get even nearly as good as him.
Best regards
