Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat Enemies Making Out = Flawless Victory

While there’s something haunting about lost and lonesome video game characters, there’s something oddly satisfying about watching well-known adversaries, say, Ryu and Ken Masters, or Sub Zero and Scorpion, temporarily overlooking their differences and coddling one another in a warm embrace. We can all thank digital artist and animator Dario Alva, better known as cavecanems, for scratching that itch, thanks to a short series of videos for the Internet Moon Gallery. Alva positions different fictional characters in a white abyss with their bodies tightly interlocked as they tenderly embrace. In these sexy, short vignettes, the camera often zooms in on the mouths of the 3D renderings, resulting in an overtly intimate display of the lover’s affection. These close-ups show the slippery tongues of either character, making the viewer feel almost as though they are intruding on the subjects’ privacy. To make matters even more uncomfortable, Alva collaborated with sound designers 0Fash and Diego Navarro, who put slimy and sloppy sound effects over steamy scores. In addition to the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat couples, Spyro the Dragon can be spotted softly caressing the lower back of Crash Bandicoot. Your inner child is probably kicking and screaming right now. Check out some juicy smooches below:
