Real Life Tekken - RAVEN's Ninjitsu [Eric Jacobus]

Eric Jacobus goes ninja with Raven's Tekken movelist!

Breakdown - Namco had looked at the success of Blade and decided Tekken 5 needed an "American Ninja". Raven's movelist ended up being a huge mishmash of acrobatics, trick kicks, and breakdancing moves. Raven also has teleports that are impossible in real life, so I kept them as real as possible with some very simple After Effects methods. Raven took a total of 6 days of shooting just to finish his movelist, by far one of the most difficult ones in the entire Tekken IRL roster.

Eric Jacobus is a stuntman and actor based in San Francisco and Los Angeles, CA. Vickie is a snowboots cat model currently residing in Beverly Hills, CA. She takes regular fan mail.

Don't ever stop me Jacobus! Being a huge Tekken fan this brought a smile to my face! If I ever win the lottery and decide to blow it on a Tekken movie! You'll be hired to be all the characters hahah!

One of the greatest of all time with extreme ease. Much prosperity to you Master of Craft Jacobus.

Yoshimitsu, pretty pretty please, he has one of the most interesting movelists since the beginning of the series. You don't have to do that seppuku move.

[AlphaProto]

All of these videos just build upon the next.
The FX, and delivery of each strike just get better in each video.
After watching this video I know you can find a way to make any of these moves work.

[gschannel]

I give you props for actually taking the time to do the special effects like the teleport and body double moves

[IchigoVizardful]

This is by far one of the best videos that you have ever made. You sir are awesome.

[genisay]

These are honestly really awesome! No real surprise that a stuntman might be interested in brawler video games like Tekken and Mortal Combat. XD Watching you perform these stunts is so much fun.

[epicmell]

Dude my Levels of Respect and Admiration for you are at extremely High Levels. #Awesome!!!

[Zooluu_F]

One of the best renditions of a Tekken character! Keep them coming!

[JustinHiryu]

Where would I be without your videos, Eric? Seriously. Such awesomeness.

[Desh]

1:26: Looking forward, then at the fallen guy after a second, was brilliant. Nice knowledge of Tekken Mechanics! The movie could take some tips

[hamburg]

Those are amazing videos, but how can IGN steal those and get 10x views? its not fair :'

[PrimoHydra]

Bra God like editing. Raven is a bad ass character and u actually pulled his moves off. Ur videos keep getting better and better.

[linux]

Thanks Jacobus. i love this character and am glad you have represented him well here with this video. Now if only we could get Namco to put Raven in Tekken 7...

[brandonmuse]

I remembering you saying this was one of your most challenging videos to make. It awesome!!!! Raven is super underrated. I loved playing him.

Eric Jacobus is the best reason to go to Youtube!
