I think it was some9ne famous in that frog outfit, I am thinking it was Tony Jaa Or Jet Li since it makes sense for them to be at a fighting game convention but not wanna be swarmed so wearing a disguise, plus they have a lot of stamina and endurance to be able to stand the heat of the costume and not take the mask off .
