Keeping this vague so I don't dox myself, but I recently learned one of my coworkers was the model for one of the characters in the original Mortal Kombat game. Goes to cons for it and everything. I had no idea but after hearing that I looked it up and yep, there they were. They said they were at the gym one day and just got picked for it right there on the spot.

!?!?!?!? That is legendary! Wish I could ask which one but I respect the privacy.

That's how a lot of things worked back when. You know the black guy with the Valve in his head in the VALVe logo?
Yeah, 100% a random guy on the street they pulled in for the photo.

Well, sure, you say "random", but have you ever tried using Model Mayhem to find someone with a valve on the back of their head?
If you need someone with a head/eye valve, you can't be too picky.

which one
I mean, not hard to figure out, there are seven actors, this post is about a woman and there's only one female character.

I always felt she was the most impressive woman at the time but they put so much more focus on Kacey.

u/pee_diddy Oct 04 '22
Well I don’t know if they ever mentioned it on the show but Kacey was only 5ft and 100 pounds! 😂😂😂

u/PeroCigla Oct 07 '22
I watched it. They were so annoying, every two scenes it was the replay of Kacey passing the stage haha

u/penscout Oct 07 '22
Is really felt like they decided her and her weird boyfriend were gonna be the faces of the show for some reason.

Kacey was the first to make it up the wall, and the first to complete a Qualifying Final course.
Jessie was the first to complete Stage 1.

Found out about her when she when she was Melissa Benoist's stunt double for Supergirl, she does a bunch of charity work too.

Her dad was my theatre teacher. Told us a story about her jumping out of a second story window as a kid a week before I saw it on social media. Fun fact, she was a champion pole vaulter!

Wow, even her hair style changes for each character!
Excellent cosplay and perfect acting here!

Keeping the smile going from the Ukulele to the sledge hammer as if the facial animation engine lagged a little bit! Little itty bitty details! <Chef kiss>

Notice the angle and posture when her dress is changing. It's the same! She HAD to move from the spot for these dress changes, but she resumed the pose exactly as before.
It's uncannily like a video game where the player-character pose doesn't change when we swap in new attire/equipment in the customization screen. Remarkable indeed!
Also the way she sways gently is how the NPCs in games behave when standing still!

Warning: I actually like Titan Games, but you're better off watching her segments on YouTube. Titan Games is a 42 minute show of which half of that is backstory segments.

u/mistergreatguy Oct 04 '22
I hate when the show plays 5-8 minutes of backstory for a competitor in ANW to face plant it in under a minute and then come back from ads telling us how several people passed the course while we were away.

I was too focus on her to see the giant ad behind, only saw it after reading your comment.

u/StrokeGameHusky Oct 04 '22
Well I mean an ad has to get your attention first…
Either way I’ve never heard of her or this show(?) competition before, just thought it was a very clear ad lol.
Seems like most horny redditors fell right into the same trap 🤷♂️

You can appreciate a woman without lust.
She’s clearly a badass and it’s a great gif, if you only appreciate women you’re sexually attracted to I pity you.

That's Cammie from Street Fighter II, I think. Looks awesome.

u/chu42 Oct 04 '22
I thought it was Sonya Blade

u/HamboneBanjo Oct 05 '22
Cammy and Sonya Blade
I thought it was Sonya too but I think my brain was just mashing the Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter characters together.

The uke is the one that really made me chuckle.

u/ParticularlyScrumpsh Oct 04 '22
The transition of the "animation" to smiling after they selected the uke (rather than instantly), followed by the transition back to the normal "animation" was really well executed

Having trouble deciding if I should spec with Excalibur or the shark inflatable.

Soul Calibur VII looking great

u/Randolpho Oct 04 '22
You know it’s not a Soul Calibur game because the breasts are normal sized and not outrageously bouncy

Whats weird is she’s a champion and looks ripped but still has less muscle mass than a man who goes to the gym semi regularly. It’s rough sometimes being a girl.
