Does being good at martial arts in real life help you play martial arts computer games?

I've always wondered how comparable they are. What's your opinion?

Answers:
Not in the least. Boring moves are what work in real life, not this fancy Kung Fu, TKD garbage.
No it doesn't !! Worth asking though !
No, don't think so. But what about the other way around!?
No. But it certainly makes me appreciate them more. Movies, too.
Not that I have found but who's to say I am any good
Being good in martial arts doesn't mean that you would be good in games.
not reallt no. in retrospect, it may help in certain aspects such as that of reaction times and reflexes. some more advance fighting games that involve skill and timing may be examples of these. like being able to block and counter. also maybe the knowledge of combinations. but i dont think it really gives a great advantage seeming as you can get this skill by playing the game loads anyway.

as for the other way round, no not at all. i can see how playing a game can increase your ability as a martial artist at all.
It does accually help you in the way you anticipate an attack. afterall martial arts do help in making the mind sharper. But im sure it doesn't help in fighting better in the vitual world lol
No. You could be a martial artist with thousands of hours of training and lose to your 8 year old nephew with several hundred hours of tekken.
personally, i trained in tae kwon do and have a poom belt in it but i suck playing as hwarang in tekken. (hwarang fights in tae kwon do style) so in my opinion, nope doesn't help at all even if you learned the style the character is using. (even though knowing the exact attack that the character is using is pretty cool.)
doubt it
it doesnt work either way, unless you are naturally (or through practise) good at both.

just like playing the playboy mansion games wont make you hot or a hit with real girls.
actually ive found its helped my mortal kombat(series), street fighter and killer instinct 64 skillz lol.
