It’s unlikely you’ll see someone throw an actual Hadouken, or do any of the crazy stuff you see in Guilty Gear, but the mostly realistic movesets of the Tekken games are things actual humans can do, outside of the eye lasers and transforming mecha girls. In his ongoing “Real Life Tekken” series, stuntman, martial artist and Tekken fan Eric Jacobus has turned his attention to replicating the moveset of the feline wrestler Armor King.

This involves doing a lot of fierce kicks, flips, punches and wrestling throws on unfortunate dummies. The actual power and fitness needed to do some of these moves is phenomenal, and there is no way in hell that you’d be able to pull off an Armor King combo in a real fight. Eric has previously re-enacted the moves of Heihachi, Raven, and Paul Phoenix, and he does allow fans to vote on the next character so if you like his skills, get voting. I can imagine he will be doing something special for Tekken 7’s eventual console release.
