Title: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: nekovamp13 on June 19, 2011, 10:21:57 pm
So we make sure we don't spam the Rules/Sign up thread with what we're thinking about entering, I created this thread!

So go a head and state who you're thinking on entering. This is also where you can get ideas for attacks or see if you would be able to.

There's not much more to this thread....So go a head and talk!

I'm still torn between Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran High School Host Club... or Victoria Seras in her blood version from Hellsing. But thats not just for the Chess, its for the actual con cosplay >.< So yes.
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: nekovamp13 on June 19, 2011, 10:37:39 pm
Well, you can always bring more than one cosplay for the weekend!
As for chess, I would do Seras, since she can actually attack. Haruhi would be kinda hard to do an attack.
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: 7thRingOfSkittles on June 19, 2011, 10:39:47 pm
Well of course you can, if you have the money  :-\

Yeah Seras would be insanely awesome, just a little more costly. But meh. We shall see.

What costume are you doing?

I want to do Ciel but I don't know if I will have him done in time :C
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: nekovamp13 on June 19, 2011, 11:00:09 pm
Skittles, I would plan for Seras, b/c Haruhi is pretty easy. If you really wanted to be her, you could borrow my uniform!

Ang, I hope you get him done! You can do it!!!! If not, I think Sakura would be good as well ^^

And I'm hoping to be Ling for chess.

I'll probably be entering all of my cosplays to better the chances, though some of them I'd probably have to have a partner, like Shinra, I'd need my Celty <3
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: 7thRingOfSkittles on June 20, 2011, 12:35:41 am
Aww Neko that's so sweet ^^ Maybe I will plan for Seras! I do have a friend who's pretty prop handy, to help me with her demon arm...

Celty is such a bad ass. She's on my "must be done one day" list. I'd love to do a partner cosplay, unfortunately none of my friends are interested in Hellsing. Sad day. And Ciel... I <3 Ciel.

Post by: 7thRingOfSkittles on June 20, 2011, 05:22:03 pm
You could have a Mokona? Or Syaoran? Or just pull out some guns and blast them in a totally uncharacteristic Sakura manner? Then be all polite and sweet after! =D
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: Jacob_Blackfeather on June 20, 2011, 05:29:54 pm
I could but I dunno if my syaoran or mokona will be there...
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: 7thRingOfSkittles on June 20, 2011, 05:33:13 pm
Maybe make a posting on the forums somewhere asking for a Mokona/Syaoran/Fai/whatever cosplayer to help you in the chess game?
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: Jacob_Blackfeather on June 20, 2011, 05:38:59 pm

You can totally just make it up! Most people who do chess can't actually fit like their characters. I think it'd be fine.

Hmm, I kind of want to (actually, I REALLY want to) submit my Wheatley cosplay for being a chess master. I have his voice, accent, and even his mannerisms down perfectly and who wouldn't want to watch Wheatley be an idiot? *SPOILER*(He's also distinctly evil.)*SPOILER* Problem though is that I Chess mastered last year. I think it's okay to do that though since we're always hard-pressed for CMs, especially ones who know the game well like myself, so I think it should be fine.

Post by: nikkiolie on June 23, 2011, 12:44:44 pm
I think I am going to submit Rikku for this. She would be fun to do. I already have a few ideas for attacks.
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: Jacob_Blackfeather on June 23, 2011, 12:48:38 pm
I want to submit Ciel because I know of some good attacks :3

Post by: Tacosu on June 23, 2011, 01:04:47 pm
Aku no Musume Miku for me. :] I also have my sister playing Haku.

I'm kind of stuck on an attack for her, though. I thought about taking a toy knife and saying it's the knife Len stabbed me with, but it seems a little out of character for that particular version of Miku to be stabbing anybody with a knife she got killed with ... that and I refuse to put fake blood on my cosplay.
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: nekovamp13 on June 23, 2011, 06:13:55 pm
Miku is cute and innocent. Just act like that and have people fall for your cuteness and will do as you say...

Haha! Just imagine Aku No Miku going up to her opponent and being all "Pretty please? I don't want to hurt you, so please just run away?"

Or I could just run over, hold out my hand, and skip off innocently with the opponent. That'll work.

Post by: nekovamp13 on June 23, 2011, 11:11:49 pm
Remember guys. It usually gets pretty loud in there and unless you have a mic (which none of the pieces will have) you will not be heard if you talk. So work on miming your attacks.

I'm torn between Fai and Chrona... But it's easier to act in character as Chrona so that's what I'm leaning towards. But Fai is really awesome too...
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: nekovamp13 on June 24, 2011, 09:35:34 pm
Submit both! You're allowed to do that. And whichever gets in is who you'll be ^^

I'd be super-happy if you did that. XDDDDD I love Wheatley.

As for me, I'm going to submit Yosuke from Persona 4, and the special attack will be my persona, Jiraiya, who'll be epically cosplayed by a good friend of mine. It'll be awesome.

I SO WANT TO BE IN THIS AGAIN!!!! But idk who to be. I the past I was Edward Elric for the first two years and then Hanabusa Aido the year after that.....This year for k-con I'm being England, Chibi Ameria, and Tamaki Suoh....Which should I be?....I could also try and get my Axel wig done by then but I get it as earliert day 1....

Also what would an attack be for like Tamaki....(note I don't havd a host club group yet...)or Chibi America...calling UK I guess XD or using his strength.

Chelsea, you should submit both! Just b/c we are REALLY trying to get a Good vs Evil game this year! You could state that you'd rather be Sailor Moon if there are enough baddies.

I say just submit everyone you want and let go at that. For characters who don't actually have attacks, you just have to make something up. Using their personality as your attack. Tamaki would charm his way out (lol "Tamaki used Charm!).

Go to the "Rules and Submission" thread in this section...It will have everything there, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

So my list of characters to submit are Gaara, Ling, Snake (if my Dagger will do it with me), and Riku. I think that's it...

Well for Haruhi Fujioka (who i'll be cosplaying as well this Kcon :D) you could point at the one you're attacking and say "BLUNTNESS ATTACK" or just "Blunt blunt blunt blunt blunt blunt"
Or you could borrow my 8-year-old Hunny and say "Hunny, I choose you!" And have him "attack" for you.

Jaki I had a question, I know one year it was ok but I want to double check, I have a costume I want to submit and it is close to being done I know that the deadline is in a week or so but would it be ok to send you a picture of a costume that is mostly done? All that would be left (if I don't finish it) would be minor details but all the major pieces are done or just about done (like I just need to make one sleeve and hem the edges on the other). The rest is like paint final details on the weapon and what not.
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: Jamiche on August 15, 2011, 08:45:04 pm
Nikki, go ahead and send pics of what is done so far.  If that costume is chosen, the only caveat is that it must be done by con (but so far I haven't had to disqualify anyone for that yet.)
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
Post by: nikkiolie on August 15, 2011, 09:11:47 pm

Also, for Chess Masters, it's always fun when the two are from the same series and have some rivalry between them. Makes for some fun jokes and such.

So do I... but it all depends on what people send me :P

So here's a question... if the numbers work out so that it's Battle of the Sexes, or no theme at all (just random cosplayers) which is preferred?  Not saying that's what it is (cuz I haven't really crunched the numbers yet).... but I'm curious.
Title: Re: Unofficial Chess Deciding Thread 2011
