Life As A Soul Calibur Model

Posted by Zonk on from the sexy-ninja-man dept.

Tim Grube writes "Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a model at E3? The process is long and very tiring. Just think, what if you had to prepare to be a character from a videogame on stage that involves a sword fight. Professional stuntman and actor Ilram Choi has been in multiple commercials for Nike and Mountain Dew. At this year's E3 Ilram was cast as Soul Calibur III's Mitsurugi. Ilram wrote a diary on the days leading up to E3."

    How many people thought the article would be about a female model?

    I haven't played Soul Calibur so I didn't know Mitsurugi is a guy.

      That's a local cultural thing, names and thier genders that is.
      Anyone with the Name mitsurugi would get some odd reactions here (USA-Midwest) as it's not exactly Bob or Sue or Timmothy.
      I could see where it might sound more or less feminin or masculin depending one the cultural norms, or even era.
      I had Neighbor whoes middle name was Laverne. Currently that would be thought of us someones aunt, yet when he was named (around 1900!) it was o.k. to give a boy the name Laverne, at least for a middle name.

    Have you ever wondered what it is like to watch Seung-Mina and Xianghua fight in a live action performance on stage? Sure you have! But wonder no more: Kali-Yuga will show you the way (mirror) in a short, but entertaining video clip.
