>tfw you will never see a haven trooper or Quiet cosplay God-damned be Demon slayer and those trendy stuff, I want to see big tactical butts and awesome costumes.
Any of the Mortal Kombat characters from MKX
>>10825168>Quiet cosplayWhere have you been? I don't think I've been to a con without MGS cosplays and Quiet is still around at plenty of them.
TTGL was at one point the most cosplayed show
>>10825168be the change you want to be OP. regain the pretisge of cosplay from FOTM normies, costhots and race-baiting pocks.
>>10825168>never see a quiet cosplayer You had literally all of 2010’s where the fuck were you at?
>>10830111Yeah, when I said above you that people still dress as Quiet? I was contrasting it in my head with how Yoko sticks out now....because she's rare these days. I don't think when I see Quiet cause it's still around.
any hellsing character that isnt alucard.
Hellraiser cosplays
>>10830116This. Cosplay what you want. You never know when you'll make someone's day when dressed from their favorite series. I can't really blame the people who are truly excited for FOTM, but you can tell when costhots are just jumping on it as the hot trend. >>tfw you will never see a haven trooper or Quiet cosplayHaven Trooper we never saw more than a couple ever in history. Quiet still gets cosplayed every other con, you might just be going to the wrong cons. >mfw at least 2/3 of all Quiet cosplayers don't even play MGS
>>10830144I think you see her every now and then cause tittys honestly, saw one last year at animenyc
>>10830492one of the quiet cosplayers on the east coast is fucking nuts.
>>10825168Yo mama
>>10830116>not being white is race baitingIt's always the race baiting people that complain about others doing it
>>10829585That's one of my two goto cosplays for pretty much every con I do. Feels good man.Working on running a smoke machine through my mask next.
Thief RikkuIt was the "sexy" cosplay back in the day that everyone did
>>10825168aw
>>10830098>Quiet is still around at plenty of themThere is still hope for this world.
>>10831712Cute. Reminds me of Gwen Stefani back when she was still a human being.
>>10830159I saw a cute schroddy last con
>>10825168MGS4 is the most underappreciated game in the franchiseWas a big fan of the BB unit but cosplaying them would be super hard because of the amount of bulk
vash stampede. i hope the reboot will revitalize his relevance
>>10837991One of the most common 90's cosplays I see. Probably third place after Eva's and Bebop's. (Admittedly I'm being rigid and defining this as "started and ended in that decade)
>>10838003i just get so excited when i see bad ass costumes like Vash. Shoutout to gene from outlaw star too(pic related might not be amazing, but its a welcome sight back in 2019)
>>10838020I saw a vash at katsucon yesterday, the dream isnt dead
300 Spartans, those pack of frat boys used to be a con staple to show off their bodies. Nowadays they are nowhere
>>10838122i'm expecting a few of the new Vash's to come around this year.
>>10825168Oh i’m supposed to cosplay quiet sometimes this year/next year! As long as you follow the ig hashtag #QuietCosplay you should be able to catch it
>>10825168People still do this all the time
L from Deathnote
>>10843569Death Note is one of the most consistently popular series of that entire era, for cosplayers.
>>10844111Yeah because outside of actually trying to dress up as a Shinigami, every lazy austimonaut wound up cosplaying as L or Light.>0-effort cosplayI feel this is something that really turned me away from the hobby as a whole, it's sadly the nature of the beast that majority of cosplay is done based on whats popular at the time. The fact no one really attempts the more impressive options as often with the flavor of the week, has bled my enthusiasm.
>>10831712cute
>>10825168Aside from Rebecca, no one ever does BRAVO team STARS. I’m sure if I googled it, I would see some. But never at a con went to.
>>10838020This is really good, he looks larger than life
>>10831708fuck off scrote
>>10850557There's no one from Bravo team that matters anyways.
>>10850889fuck off hole
No More Heroes cosplay in general gets no love
>>10853219Not common, but I've definitely seen my fair share. Even in recent times
Doing cosplay from old shit is awesome! I went to a con to be the Kei part of a dirty pair duo cosplay and do many old photographers approached us, glad someone remembered their old fave series.
>>108419192 months late but i'm following it now.t. OP>>10830141I only begun cosplaying in 2017.
Is Cat Noir and miraculous ladybug stuff still a thing in conventions? First thing that came on my mind on the 'cool costumes not done anymore' subject
>>10854803Yeshttps://twitter.com/shilojxo/status/1649851893785702400?cxt=HHwWgMDR0cvjueUtAAAA
>>10859333Want to know which parts of your post tell me you don't go to cons?
>>10838020how tf did he get away with that firearm?
>>10831708Looks cool!
>>10860098the tag is probably hidden somewhere
>>10837910No. Portable Ops or Peace Walker. Maybe not Peace Walker but definitely Portable Ops. 4 sucked ass anywaysAlternate history MGS games > contemporary/future timeline MGS games
>>10825168I did Dread Pirate Roberts/Westley from The Princess Bride at Ohayoucon, that was fun. I was surprised that apparently there was a Buttercup running around, didn't bump into her though.
is Sailor Moon a dead franchise?
>>10864297hell no
>>10838020>>10838122>>10838131Yeah vash cosplays seem to be making a slight comeback these days. I saw a short black girl with an afro cosplaying as him recently
>>10865417Newer vash i guess.I like the 90s vash cosplays, so much more impressive to pull offWolfwood is wolfwood
is KH still a thing? or did KH3 kill it?
>>10825168This makes my snake solid hehe
mlp
Queen's Blade
>>10870978ZOO WEE MAMA
hetalia
Soul Calibur
>>10825168Remember Ragnarok Online?Naruto also fell off despite being so huge nearly everyone at AX05 was from Naruto.Bane was popular when Dark Knight Rises was fresh so it's kind of surprising when there hasn't been any recent Bane cosplayers when Baneposting never died.
I think Lightning and Final Fantasy 13 in general
>>10876897>Remember Ragnarok OnlineI see how Huge FF14 is today and remember how huge ragnarok was among weeb spaces and zeitgeistNaruto in general fell off but theres always that obligatory try hard wearing an akatsuki cloak
old JRPGs (not FF)
>>10879732>>10882257Sakuracon?
>>10830116>be the change you want to beThis has never worked for anything in the history of ever
>>10885840>Amnesty International doesn't exist
>>10879732Out of nowhere I saw several Kos-Mos cosplayers back in AX 2015 and wondered what the occasion was.
>>10825168My buddies and I cosplay as the Straw Hat ronins from Ghost of Tsushima. Only problem is that they're so generic-looking that we could be from anything really.
>>10874919wasn't that like fujo's brony equivalent?
>>10825168Because normies and attention whores will always goes for the easy and trendy stuff. Quiet could be a good way to justify wearing a slutty cosplay but she's not a FOTM waifu and the Haven Trooper design, or any tactical design really, is way to much work for these someone as lazy as them. Beside I don't think they'd be the kind to want to hide their face.
>>10825168I couple months ago I went as an ODST and only like three dudes knew what I was. Although It was kinda cute when a family asked for a picture, that made my day.It's amazing how Halo is pretty much a dead franchize nowadays
>>10894148God bless you I'm working on a set of the armor myself. Odst is probably peak for what I look in for a cosplay
>>10830159I cosplay the Doctor.
Attack on Titan. Dead as fuck fandom, only comes around to fling shit at each other whenever a new season releases, then dies again shortly after.
all KoF
Dantes
How's MSPA/Homestuck cosplay been looking? Haven't attended a con since pre-Covid, back when you could find a few trolls or God Tiers roaming the halls easily.
>>10894866I see aot cosplayers all the time (mostly dressed as titans)
>>10830159More people should do Anderson. I've only ever seen two of them.
>>10893753You're absolutely right. To cosplay a haven trooper would take a real metal gear solid fan, and the work to reproduce the parts, get what can be purchased ready like holsters and weapons... ain't for everyone.
>>10850889How rude :)>>10860132 Thanks man. One of these days I'll finish hooking up my mini fog machine to it
>>10879732Saw a Claude and Leon from Star Ocean: The Second Story at MAGFest 24. It was refreshing to see.
>>10899286lol
i can't remember the last time i saw a ff 8 or 9 cosplay.
>>10831712I saw some one doing a really high quality cosplay of this with a girl who pulled it off really well at 2024 katsucon.>>10838122lmao this year too.i saw a decent amount of these cosplays still being done
>>10903810>I saw some one doing a really high quality cosplay of this with a girl who pulled it off really well at 2024 katsucon.Yeah, same. FFX is one I'm always happy to see. There were a few other in there too, like Wakka and Lulu
>>10860549I'm working peacewalker big boss rn, but I bet he's pretty cosplayed out of all the characters.
>>10825168Being relevant is the worst thing that can happen to your favourite IP in current year.
>>10825168jinx is trashy, trashy like that raver girl with 12 different kind of stds kind of way
I saw 3 Yuno Gasai at Anime Boston. Makes me wanna be Yuki simply because nobody else does and maybe if they act in character I might get a hug or something.
>>10906080Big Boss is definitely the most-cosplayed Metal Gear character, but in my experience it's almost always the iterations from 3 or V. It's rare that I encounter PW Snake, and I don't think I've ever seen PoOps or GZ in real life.
>>10908443I'm thinking about doing GZ or the sneaking suit from PW next but also wanna refine my current setup.PW Snake is probably my favorite where he is in his life. He's independent but not totally jaded yet. I mean he gets that way over the game and then especially GZ. Also the PSP models make things a little more forgiving and I can use my imagination to fill in parts. I gotta work on the deltoid armor.
p much anything from prime KyoAni - Clannad, Haruhi, K-ON, Free!, Amagi, Lucky Star>>10830111Still see a Yoko from time to time, but nowhere near its hayday. Saw one or two this weekend actually>>10870978Fell off hard, but shockingly saw entire groups of them this weekend. Usually see one or two tops though
>>10908470>p much anything from prime KyoAni - Clannad, Haruhi, K-ON, Free!, Amagi, Lucky StarI saw a dude dressed as Yui leaving a convention last weekend. I should have said hi but was kinda in a rush. There desperately needs to be more cosplay of these characters. I saw they should mandate cosplay to uncosplayed folks and make sure all the Luckys are there.
>>10906080>>10908443I had a talk about this just the other day (with someone dressed as Major Ocelot, incidentally enough). He did make a good point, that Naked Snake is one of the easier characters to do. MGScon had a good showing from across the series, naturally, and I'm really glad to learn literally right now that there'll be a year two
>>10908522There's an MGS con?
>>10908524https://www.mgscon.com/As of last year, yeah. It was just one day in LA but an awesome time for fans. About a dozen of the voice actors showed up, and some of them like Vanessa Marshall and Cam Clarke would mingle with the crowd. I'm already looking into booking for this year's
>>10908528Of course it has to be across the country.
>>10908785At some point, an announcer asked how many people came in from the East Coast and quite a few raised their hands, myself included. There were even a few who did when asked if anybody flew in from overseas. You should definitely look into going if you can, it was a very soulful experience
>>10909331Holy shit that's fuckin kino. The whole crew. He did a good job with the deltoid armor too.Fuck I might try to go to this.
