"When you talk about the martial arts [videogame] genre, you have these stories about guys who can shoot fireballs. In my experience, never once have I seen a person throw a fireball."
-Martial artist and video game enthusiast Way Yin Yuen, on the realism of today's fighting games

It's comments like this bit about the "Palm of Buddha" that forever relegate video-gamers to the perpetual dork category. Such claims about martial arts are the equivalent of Western legends about knights slaying dragons and such. To truly pin any notion of reality to it is... well, juvenile.
