First off, let me say hello and I'm happy to be a member of this community after many years of browsing all the great content constantly being generated.
I'm currently trying to decide on a martial art to practice. Most importantly I'm looking to get fit and learn to defend myself.
But beyond that, I had a thought. Can my skills, preferences, or styles in Smash Bros inform my decision at all? Obviously I'm not looking for root vegetable based anti mugger strategies or the martial art that most incorporates wavedashing. I don't want to learn which strikes have the best knockback, and I don't want the frame data on the punch about to land on my face. But as I've begun to play with a more studious, mindful focus, and during my preliminary research on different martial arts styles, I couldn't help but notice a lot of the same concepts coming up, which makes sense, as it is fighting game.
So I guess the purpose of this thread is to discuss whether playing Smash in general or any specific elements of one's game are useful to choosing a martial art in terms of ease of learning, potential for mastery, or just enjoyment.
