Eric Jacobus takes on Bob's epic movelist! Eric might not have the belly, but he's got the moves (and the suspenders) for the job. Contact Eric Jacobus at theericjacobus@gmail.com Subscribe to my channel: http://full.sc/1pI9PSy See all the Tekken movelists here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKvT1cdaRn7-9HxSgD5S9JjJUMwEbdHIS Breakdown - The talented Japanese fellow who motion captured Bob Richards is nowhere near the character's girth. In fact he's a slender, super-acrobatic fellow who can do almost anything. Bob was a pain because it was the first time I had to try a real corkscrew. I put it in the video, and you can see me land flat on my face. I also attempted this movelist with a pillow under my shirt with moderate success, though that movelist will have to be part of a different video.
