For those who know or know of BrolyLegs, this will surely come as sad news. For those who don't, Michael Begum III is a Street Fighter legend. He was born with a congenital joint disease that left him without access to most of the articulation of limbs and appendages we often take for granted as gamers. Not only did he manage to play games with his wrists, chin, tongue, whatever it took as his body declined, he played competitvely -- and won.

Whenever something feels beyond my ability, whenever I hear someone doubt their capabilites, whenever the "easy mode" conversations come up, I think about BrolyLegs.
RIP to the legend.

I didn't know about this dude until he beat Low Tier God's ass and he went on a huge butthurt tirade about it.

It's like when I say Rick Allen of Def Leppard is one of the best drummers in the entire world. Bitch you try and play just as good as you did after losing an arm, it's the difference between talent, and work ethic.
