Mortal Kombat’s Blind Badass Brawler

  For some lazy asses, any feeble excuse will do. The dog ate my homework, can’t come to work today, Mr. Smithers, I have smallpox (well, it wasn’t wiped out in my house!), that sort of thing. Have you ever forged ma or pa’s handwriting to get yourself out of gym class? Then you’re everything that’s wrong with this planet. Shame on you.

On the other hand, there are people who always barrel forwards completely unfazed. No effs are ever given by these bold bastards, no goal unreachable. They just bust out a couple of Rocky’s best motivational speeches and they’re on their way. Maybe there’s a training montage involving jogging along a beach and a dude stalking you on a bike along the way. I’d like to think so.

Remember Brolylegs, the Street Fighter pro who became one of the best in the world while playing with his mouth? That was some inspirational stuff, right there. Now check this out: the blind Mortal Kombat player.

Now, the Mortal Kombat universe knows a thing or two about how those without the power of sight can still kick freaking ass. Just look at Kenshi. You don’t screw with that guy. But what we have right here is real-life gamer Ross Minor, giving us a lil’ video tutorial showing how he plays. It’s a painstaking process of menu memorization, headphones and sounds in the left/right ear, but he rocks it. This is truly impressive.
