This is a genuinely interesting question: do fighting game players develop better real combat understanding? The answer is 'somewhat.' Fighting games teach distance management and reading opponent tendencies โ concepts that transfer conceptually. But the physical conditioning demands, the fear component, and the pain tolerance required in real competition are completely outside what any game can simulate. Interestingly, some pro fighters report using fighting games as tactical visualization tools.
