VIDEO: "Street Fighter" Professionals, Hardly Even Look at their Character

Do Something Enough and it Becomes 2nd Nature: Muscle Memory and Instinct Kicks in. But, does that Hold for the High-Twitch Dynamics of Pro Gaming-Level "Street Fighter 4" ? Japanese Gaming Website, 4Gamer, Rigged Up a Gaming PC with SteelSeries' Sentry Gaming Eye Tracker, Watching the Gaze of Street Fighter Pro-Gamer, 'Sako', as he Indulged in a Few Rounds. Rather than Focus on his Own Player, or the Opponent, his View Typically Rests Somewhere between the 2; the Pro-Gamer Likely be Trying to Gauge Incoming Attacks and Connect Distance for their Own. As the Japanese Website Notes, it Wasn't Exactly a High Stakes Bout but, the Video Suggests, at least, that it's Not Where your Character is but, Where it's Going that's Important. Which is also this Editor's Life Philosophy, coincidentally.




See Where the Pros are Looking, right After the Break:
