Noah Fleder (born June 24, 1993) is an American martial artist.
He provides the face model for Kenshi Takahashi in Mortal Kombat 1 and is the motion capture for multiple characters, including Kenshi, Smoke, Liu Kang, Reptile's human form, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero.[1]
Trivia[]
- Noah described Smoke as his favorite character to motion capture, and both Scorpion and Sub-Zero as his least favorite characters to motion capture.[2]
- For Smoke, Noah had more creative freedom in his part. Concept art depicted Smoke as weilding a normal knife, and Noah suggested the knife be changed to a Karambit Knife, leading to the fighting style used by smoke to resemble Pencak silat.
- For Scorpion and Sub-Zero, while he states he had fun with them, he described the development of their attacks as having alot of "Politics" in it. Whereas, many developers in the studio "Already had an idea of what they wanted," having very specific ideas on how they wanted the two characters to look and be portrayed, hence, he had no creative freedom in his part for them.
