Stephen Thompson

He's just a guy.

He has martial arts training, but he doesn't have powers.

He doesn't shoot flame from his fists.

I had one more question that I wanted to ask y'all as you both have played Mortal Kombat, right?

I have another screen open in our Zoom, and I am currently... Because I feel like this is a useful litmus test, right?

Like, choose your fighter.

Who is your Mortal Kombat fighter, and what do you think that says about you?

Oh, wow.

Or maybe you tell me you're a fighter and I'll try to tell you what it says about you.

I like both versions.

Nice.

As I said, I have not really played the Mortal Kombat games.

My trick in fighting games typically is to pick the kind of tankiest brute and then just like get in close and wail on people.

That is kind of your button mashiest thing.

approach, and that is what has typically worked for me, unless I'm playing Super Smash Bros., in which case my tendency is to pick the most obscure character and then fall off of things.

Good strategy.

I like both strategies.

That's why you fight on the ground.

The three of us, at some point in our lives, we live on separate coasts, but at some point, the three of us are going to get together and wail on each other in Mortal Kombat.

In 1993.
