Interview w/ Broly Legs, Disabled SSF4 Chun-Li Player Mike “Broly” Begum is a Street Fighter IV player from Texas. And he’s pretty damn good. What makes Mike’s success notable, though, is the fact he’s so good despite having to play the game with his face.
Begum was born with arthrogryposis, which has left him with only partial use of one arm. While this would normally prevent the less determined from even playing a video game, let alone getting good at one, Mike has found a way to combine his partial hand use with his cheek and tongue to turn himself into quite the Chun-Li player.
Oh, and he’s awesome at Smash Bros., too.
