Sakura Con 09

[Nightmare]

So. As many of you know, I go to Sakura Con (Seattle annual Anime Convention) every year. Well, I just got back from Sakura Con 09, and I got some experiences to share with you all. =D

First off, this year my brother and sister went with me. Kathryn went as Songstress Yuna (FFX-2), Richard went as hatless Mario (SM64) and I went as Itachi (Naruto) again.

Pretty much all I did the whole time was wander around taking pictures of people with awesome costumes, and get my picture taken, and get hugs from pretty girls. =D

But I did compete in the Brawl Tourney. Kicked 5 asses before being brought down by an amazing Wolf who destroyed me. XD

I should also add that it wasn't a very Tourney Tard-ish tournament. Items were on, and I only fought one Meta-Knight. I was impressed. =O

Anyhow. It was three days of awesome. And I miss it, a lot. D=

It's gonna be weird waking up in my own bed, and not getting to walk down in a cloak and get hugs from pretty nerd girls. ;-;

Oh well... On with the show! The cosplay pictures;

[Renegade]

Cammy is from Street fighter, and the last girl you were with looks to be an alternative costume to Mai from King of Fighters, but I could be wrong.

Looks good, I'm glad ya represented in brawl and its good that there wasn't a lot of "tourney fag-ness" because I will admit, we take away a lot of fun away from the casual players.

Its nice to see ya with some girls there Purple and I'm glad ya had a good time.

Maybe one year I'll get to go to Sakura con and meet up with ya and make ya sing old man river.

[Morph]

Looks like you had a lot of fun there! Makes me wish I could go to a Con. The closest one is, what, 5000 miles away or something like it.

Totally digging the Falcon Pawnch and the exchange with Ike. Such happenings are just great.

[Albireo]

That's.... A lot of pictures...

[Rick]

i can make a better Fox costume <.< anyways,OMG NARUTO IS PULLIN SOLID SNAKE BEHIND NIGHTMARE!

[Ruinaru]

That reminds me... I never posted my pics from MTAC 09... Mah bad. >.>

Good stuff you got here. Lots of Miku. =P

[HZ]

Great pics Nightmare and nice work with the Brawl Tourney, I'm still impressed that a bunch of tourney tards didn't overrun the place. Maybe there's hope for future tourneys...?

The Pawnch, Ike and Merchant encounters are Win, by the way. And the TWEWY cosplayers were cool, thanks for that pic.

[Captain SpExtacular]

Thats an epic shot of you and all those other ninja people...why hasn't Tony posted here?

[swimstud600]

He's on his way to Washington to kill Nightmare.

[Professor Fann]

The awesome anime convention.

I enjoyed them all.
