No my point was is that a character on a screen does everything and can only do the things within the parameters of the game. Which is why I don't consider it a sport.

The day that someone in Soul Caliber pulls up with a hamstring from landing awkwardly in a fight is the day I consider it a real sport. Not because of the physical aspect but because until the games start to use ALL the real attributes of the person playing it in the game (all rather than just a few) I don't consider it to be a true sport.
