Meet The Real Goro

Meet The Real Goro

He's terrorized the Mortal Kombat franchise for years, but who is the real Goro?

He's eight foot tall, can play two pianos at once and could crush your head like a particularly puny egg. This is the public face of Goro, Prince of the Shokan, the scourge of the Mortal Kombat tournament, but behind all the bravado and violence, is a more sensitive, delicate side, something altogether more gentle.

Specifically, I'm taking about the side of Goro that's six inches tall and lives on a piece of blue cardbaord. A picture of the state-of-the-art facility that Goro's stop-motion animation was created has found its way on to the internet. I'm in awe of the, erm, lamp they used.

That's totally bitchin' rad ... yeah.

I always knew how they made Goro, but seeing it is a totally different experience.

Would've been cooler if they had just found a four armed body builder....

 

[zoozilla]

Games just aren't made that way anymore...

The model used for Sheeva in Mortal Kombat 3 is more impressive since it was almost four feet tall.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

that's cool

too bad it's a bit of a lost art really

You ain't so big, Goro.

I want to see "Goro: Behind the Kombat"

Troubled teen who was on the edge. Then a terrible thing happens and you think "OMG I hope he lives." Of course he does and moves on to become the Prince of Shokan we know today. Then you can throw in a sad ending of Liu Kang (I believe he won MKII) slaying him mercilessly. You could do it Tupac style where the murderer was never found even though a bunch of people saw it happen.

Sub-Zero is and always will be better than all other characters in the Mortal Kombat franchise, but this is cool too.

*Ahem* And?

Anyways, Goro, the tiny pipsqueak. I would fight the Queen for that minature. To hold it aloft would be to rule the minds of everyone who grew up with that game.

Gonna have to forge Ed Boon's will then. He owns the only one left.
