The latest episode of “Real-Life Tekken” heads to the Streets!

After emulating the moveset of SNK guest character Geese Howard back in December, stuntman and actor Eric Jacobus returns for the first episode of “Real-Life Tekken” in 2018, choosing to take things to the Streets by emulating the moveset of another Tekken 7 guest fighter: Akuma.

Clad in a blue karate gi, Jacobus proceeds to Gohadoken, Goshoryuken, and Tatsumaki Zankukyaku a punching bag with all of the ferocity and killing intent of the “Raging Demon” himself (or at least as much of that as you can muster in reality). He even manages to pull some extremely impressive Demon Flips with brilliant usage of mats, and a hilarious “recreation” of the Raging Demon with firecrackers.

Jacobus notes that, “Akuma’s moves are the result of doing karate in sandals for a thousand years. His stance is totally grounded, as if his toes are gripping the ground. Everything is heavy-handed and karate-based, except for some of his impossible airborne attacks. Nonetheless, if you find yourself in a street fight and you’re wearing flip flops, don’t try to fight like Akuma.” You can view the full video below.
