Video Gaming Abilities.

Video Games have the ability to help some of the gamers to think critically for particular situations. Although it may not seem like it but, other than just muscle memory, video games themselves have boundaries that aren't exactly prohibited but aren't easily detected or implemented into play.
For Example, Soccer is a very famous sport that is both a Video Game (Obviously) but a physical sport that can be literally played (EXTREMELY OBVIOUS). For the IRL (In Real Life) version the soccer players world wide, have agreed to not touching the ball. Hence the reason why in matches No soccer player ever touches the ball. This is because they have all come to a consensus of Prohibiting physical contact of players to ball, with the Exception of the Goal Keeper. With Video Games, on the other hand (No pun intended) Alike IRL, do not touch the ball because its not possible, Touching the ball without being Goal Keeper has not coded into the game therefore its not possible.
Games Like Street Fighter, on the other hand, do not follow said rules. The Goal of Street Fighter is as the title implies, Fighting. The Character to lose their health first is the loser. Each Character is Different some having advantages in something over others. To avoid losing one must block the attacks of the other, simply get hit and block, or hit and continue to hit, to say the least. Players also have the Ability to think critically and act Fast because of gaming skills.
At EVO (Very well known Competitive gaming Championship Tournaments for Multiple different Gaming titles) there was a match that re-defined Fighting Matches, Players, and games. Two Players Daigo Umehara (Playing Ken) Versus Justin Wong (Playing Chun-Li) were at their final match.

In Semi-Finals. It was a best of 3 match, Daigo and Justin both had 1 Victory and both needed 1 one victory to win Semi-Finals. and just as Justin thought that he won the match and used his special move, with just one hit Daigo would have lost, om the contrary of Justin who had half his health left. Justin had used his Special to pull off the Victory giving only seconds to react for Diago. Diago did the Unbelievable, that ended up being not only an Iconic Moment for Evo and Gaming History in General. Daigo using Ken ended Parring (Countering the Attacks with a Perfect shield or another attack) Daigo had less or just barely a fraction of a second to Parry the Attack at the exact moment and in the exact place. This was a possible thing that was not exactly intended by the developers but it was possibly because there wasn't any rules that prohibited it.
