[BIG OLAF]

After some rigorous judging from our wonderful panel, we finally have the Top 10 cosplayers! Sorry it took a while; these things can take a bit to get results back from everyone. But, without further ado, here's your Top 10!


These are in no particular order. The first image will be the PSO2 character itself. The second image will be the reference image.

...and there you have it! The voting poll will remain open for two weeks, so there's no rush. I know it'll be hard to decide...! Thanks to everyone who sent in entries, and sorry to those who did not make the Top 10 listing! There's always next time!

[Retto]

I would have to go with Zero Suit Samus, while it's not a difficult character to cosplay (IRL or in PSO2) it looks much closer to the character than other entries.

Nabooru is also good. It was a good idea to make her because of the outfit, but he decided to make his PSO2 cosplay too pretty and girly, and it just doesn't look like the original character outside the outfit.

[zegun~kun]

SIR
ELTON
JOOOOOHN
:-o

[Caledonia]

I'm kinda torn between Sir Elton and RAmar. The RAmar is excellent, but... well...

Who'd've even thought of cosplaying Elton John... this deserves serious deliberation....

[Retto]

I also say you need to add a better screenshot for Horo. The angle is weird, I don't feel like I can see it properly.

The Elton John seems like more of a joke entry, it doesn't look like Elton John at all. The haircut, hair color, skin tone, body proportions, shape of the face/head, everything is all wrong. I can't see anything that resembles Elton John other than the glasses.

[Hosaka]

Voted Elton John because YOLO.

[Jungo Torii]

I'm more privy to vote for joke entries by my nature, so yeah, I voted for Gabriel Belmont.


...Kidding, I voted Sir Elton John.

[Sizustar]

Voted, although I don't know who Sir Elton John is...

[Caledonia]

Voted, although I don't know who Sir Elton John is...

... ...

I suddenly feel very old.

[BIG OLAF]

Updated the OP to include the places in which each entry is from, for easier clarification. Should have done it with all of them from the beginning. ^^;

[Sizustar]

... ...

I suddenly feel very old.

No, did a search, I listen to alot of english song, but didn't research who sing what~

[Sayara]

Good luck everyone!

[Vintasticvin]

I hate you all for making it so hard to pick an entrant!!!!

[Bunansa]

mommy_cornelia's entry all the way. :3

[D-Gold]

Time for me to be indecisive until the last day.
Omega-Z(Raja) is going strong for me though.

[Mikessc88]

I'm a rocket man... burning out his fuse up here... alone

[Zorafim]

These are all incredible. I wouldn't have been able to stand a chance against any of these. Really, I don't know who to pick. They're all so spot on.
I guess I'm most impressed with the Raja cosplay, but I think I'm biased. Really, all of you winners, good work!

[bardiche]

Putting in a vote for the Belmont. It was a really tough choice though, there was more than three that I'd vote for.

[NoiseHERO]

I made it into the top 10!

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Why is Gigawuts pretending to be me

[ShinMaruku]

He's not a green crayon.

[batfax]

Raja is genuinely awesome.

[LinkKD]

Meh...I thought I'd make it to the top10 at least.

I honestly think my Youmu was better than at least a couple of the ones there...seeing I had weapon and mag to back the cosplay up, but oh well. Maybe I should've entered my Atoli instead. I also think that Marisa is too tall =w=.

well...imma vote for Coatl's Shino since I helped with that cosplay anyway.

Post it, I'd like to see it.

[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/UgbgtRI.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

There

also, Elton John, Gabriel Belmont and Raja were pretty win =w= I can say those are for sure better than mine.

also, might aswell post my Atoli with Coatl's Shino =w=

[Zyrusticae]

Ohmigawd I LOVE that Cylon. Even if it doesn't look close to the source material (because of parts limitations, obviously) the design itself is pure win.

The others... I automatically deduct points for making boobs bigger than the source material (Horo, Marisa). <_< ...Seriously, if the whole point is to resemble another character, don't skimp out on it or go off-model for the sake of making it more appealing to yourself.

Elton John wins, though, pretty much by default. What a shame, because I would have appreciated more competition for the first spot.

[untrustful]

Omg I didn't think I'd have a chance, also omg I might actually have a shot at getting the piano now.

[Horo The Wise Wolf]

I just posted my character the way she sat. I didn't make any modifications to her at all. I did recently use AC to change her. But it is a little late to update the picture there. After the contest is over I can show you what she looks like now. ^^

[LinkKD]

I do think both Marisa and Horo are too tall...and yeah, that too.

my Youmu is incredibly short (like...the short cap) but the original Youmu IS incredibly short in canon. You can see this by checking her height in the fighting games.

[Zorafim]

I honestly think my Youmu was better than at least a couple of the ones there...

Youmu's cheating though. You made her before the contest. Imagine if I uploaded Levia as a zora. That wouldn't have been fair.

Could I make a suggestion, for the poll? I haven't made enough of them to know the rules behind them, but is it possible to add the character (or person) name the players are cosplaying as? Just so that I can more easily see who's winning at a glance?

[supersonix9]

go go go untrustful.

... was there something about that in the rules? (legitimate question, I don't know)

I agree with you LinkKD. That looks a lot closer to the source material than some of the other entries.

[Zorafim]

You know... Honestly, I don't know. I just think it would be unfair to compete against someone who's been working on a character for years, when you only have a month.

[Coatl]

There was no rule that said the submissions couldn't be pre-made characters. And you shouldn't factor in something as silly as people having more time than others when judging the contestants. You judge them and decide which one is the best cosplay, and vote accordingly. That's the fairest way in my opinion.

[LinkKD]

You know... Honestly, I don't know. I just think it would be unfair to compete against someone who's been working on a character for years, when you only have a month.

Eh o.o I don't get it...it's not like the time I had with Youmu really helped with the cosplay...I made her specs in some hours, and the rest was just acquiring the acessories and costumes that were fitting for her.

I could've made a Youmu like that in a very short period of time, given I had the meseta to buy all the acessories. Except for the weapons and Mag I guess...but idk, I guess all the investment only supports my will to cosplay the character well? =w=

I think other people could have the same power to invest in a cosplay having enough meseta too...excluding the Mag, that does take time. So one could say it's unfair because some people have more meseta for acessories/costumes and some don't?...meh

Well, I could've entered my Atoli too anyway, which I created not long ago and she's only lv3 lol...I think she could've had more winning chances even...seeing how Shino was in the top 10, lol.


... was there something about that in the rules? (legitimate question, I don't know)

I agree with you LinkKD. That looks a lot closer to the source material than some of the other entries.

Thank you, that's nice to hear =w=

[Arrow]

I'm so torn deciding...
between the master sparkin' ordinary magician,
the inter-galactic bounty hunter,
the sage of the spirit temple,
and the badass cowboy from the game that introduced me to this series....
I...just...
must...resist...urge...to give...Marisa...the precious vote...
.................................................. ....................................
wait...
UGH! SHE ALREADY STOLE IT!!!

[Gama]

gigawuts got my vote! :D love it!!!

[Rien]

I knew I wouldn't make it ._.

[Chik'Tikka]

lolz, forgot all about this+^_^+ and forgot to make KOS-MOS entry+^_^+ well, good luck all!!

[Gama]

I knew I wouldn't make it ._.


i didnt make it "well duh"

and i'm happy for those who did!


Cheers for gigawuts!

*\('-')/*

[plasism]

I'm a fan of Touhou, and an even greater fan of Marisa... I couldn't resist XD

[FenixStryk]

Wow, that Elton John is 100% on target.

By the way, is there a sign-up thread that has the rest of the entries? I slept through it.

[ShadowDragon28]

I voted fo Gigawut's Cylon. It looks ALOT like the modern Cylon from the 2004-2006 series. Loooking just staight bad ass. If I could vote for honorable mentions I'd Vote Zero Suit Samus and Raja.

I dont know why the OP put a pic of the old model Cylon...
here the newer version that he/she SHOULD of posted.

http://www.genomicon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/cylon.jpg

[BIG OLAF]

I dont know why the OP put a pic of the old model Cylon...

Because that was the reference image the contestant gave me in his submission? I only used those images; I didn't go off trying to find 'better' ones, as per my own rules.

[Caledonia]

Wow, that Elton John is 100% on target.

By the way, is there a sign-up thread that has the rest of the entries? I slept through it.

There is a sign-up thread, but entries were PMed to Olaf, so nobody knew who had entered except him.

http://www.genomicon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/cylon.jpg

from the torso up I'd say Gigawut's cast looks more like the 1970s cylon+^_^+ only thing that makes it look like the 21st century Cylons is the fact that all male casts in PSO2 have that odd segmented torso and super thin waist+^_^+ i had my pics ready and spaced out submitting, but i was just gonna submit pics from the shoulders up+^_^+ (to showcase all the hours i spent on Mary's face+^_^+) cause i just can't seem to find a Caseal torso to match my wants+^_^+

[Eman2417]

Lego you completely deserve to win this, nice Elton.
But I do like the belmont.

[BIG OLAF]

Well holy damn, the race for 2nd (and, by proxy, 3rd) place has burst wide-open in the past day! This is getting interesting, it is~

[VANNO]

These are good. Wish I was able to join :) Looking forward to see who wins!

[Cyron Tanryoku]

God, I keep reading Cylon as Cyron

[ShinMaruku]

I read Cyron as crayon. :E

[BIG OLAF]

Man, it's a close one for 3rd place, huh? Still over a week left to vote, though!

[yoshiblue]

Will we be seeing a runner runner ups/ list of all entries thread afterwards?

[BIG OLAF]

Probably. May not be for like a week after the poll closes, though.

[Alisha]

voted for rock though it seems im in the minority. woulda given 2nd choice to gigawuts cyclon.

[Meji]

I read Cyron as crayon. :E
I know right? That name is so confusing at times awesome.
I used to read Cyron as Cryon in the beginning... Until Cyron herself told me I was wrong. :/

[NoiseHERO]

>3<)/ I hope I win!

[Horo The Wise Wolf]

/toge Yes!

Third place is gonna be a close one.

[yoshiblue]

Probably. May not be for like a week after the poll closes, though.

Sweet, I look forward to seeing everyone's entries. Good lucks doods!

[jooozek]

funny to see people vote on themselves :golfclap:

[untrustful]

American presidents can do it, therefor-*steals your rights and runs away*

[yoshiblue]

Besides,if they were disqualified for that, who would win 3rd place then?

[Red*]

gogo grav o/

[BIG OLAF]

Huh, Gravagar really roared forward in the past day or so. This is why these polls are exciting, especially when they're so close like this. I can't remember the last time so many people were neck-and-neck.

[yoshiblue]

Week two! Who will win? Stay tune and find out!

[Vintasticvin]

To the entrants I hate you all for making it hard to make a choice since every cosplay is great.

(Not sure I said this before but if I did I will delete this post and go about my business.) Best of luck everyone!

[BIG OLAF]

Hmm, 2nd and 3rd could still go to a couple different people, depending. Anyway, only about two four days left to vote, if you haven't already.

:hamster:

[BIG OLAF]

*crosses arms, puts on afro wig*
