Video Game cosplay?

Post by goatlll »

I don't know if anyone here ever goes to cons, but every year my friends and I try to hit a few, and we sometimes make costumes. The season is coming up, and we were getting ready to make some more. I was wondering if anyone here has any video game costumes that they have made. I would love to see them. Here is a short video of the costumes we made last year. It's Mega Man 2, and we rarely see the bosses, so that is what we went with.

Those are awesome costumes! Very unique to go as the robot masters.

Seriously, that video made my day! :D

I hope to get various friends to agree to cosplay as different trainer types from Pokemon: "bug catcher", "hiker", etc.

I've always wanted to get me and some friends to dress up as the Ouendan, and do a dance. That would be just awesome. :D

As much as I loved doing those costumes, I will probably never do something that requires mandex and boxes again. I know I was suppose to be Heatman, but goodness that costume was freaking boiling inside. We are leaning towards Chrono Trigger this year, and I would love to do Gato, but I don't know if I could deal with the heat again.

The pelvic thrusts in the hotel room made me laugh.

Me personally, no I do not. I attend and run panels at atleast a dozen conventions a year, including one this weekend (last year the final count was 22 attended and I think 10 I ran panels at). The last cosplay I did was Captain Tylor from the Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Mainly since most of my friends said I remind them of the good Captain. And that was a good six years ago. I am more of a prop guy myself.

But thanks to having conventions eat alot of my life, alot of my friends cosplay. Mostly anime and comic characters, but a few do games aswell:
Polka - Eternal Sonata:

Regulator - Fallout 3:

Lulu - FFX

Big Daddy - Bioshock:

Ok so I dont know them that well, I know them mostly through conventions (and pulling my weight at Dragoncon last year for one of the costume contests).

And even though its based on the manga, not the game, Clef - Magic Knight Rayearth:

Mainly since she is one of my best friends...

I could do more, but have the sites they post on are blocked here for some reason.

If I had short, dark hair I'd totally go as Error for halloween. Then whenever someone asked me what my costume was, I could say: "I am Error".
