Actually, it probably doesn't make much sense to use the word "top" here since it was pretty much the only seven that I saw the whole weekend. I had totally intended to do another top ten Nintendo-related cosplay list like I did for ACen last year, but as it turns out PAX attendees are not really about the cosplay as much. While probably around 50% of the ACen attendees were in cosplay, at PAX East it was closer to 1%, if that. Still, I managed to get a few good ones.
#7. Link (Legend of Zelda series)A pretty standard Link. Nothing overly impressive, but still cool.
#6. Ike (Fire Emblem series)Fire Emblem actually seems to get a lot of attention from cosplayers, with Ike being one of the main ones that I see. This guy did a decent job.
#5. Godot (Phoenix Wright series)Godot also seems to get a lot of cosplayer attention for one reason or another. I guess it is the wicked half-mask.
#4. Pit and Dark Pit / Pittoo (Kid Icarus: Uprising)Both Pit and Dark Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising? Sounds like a pretty good cosplay combo to me!
#3. Various Links and Zeldas (Legend of Zelda series)Although it is pretty common to see big groups of cosplayers at ACen, this was one of the few groups that I saw at PAX East.
#2. Skull Kid (Legend of Zelda series)Skull Kid aka one of the coolest Zelda characters ever. I noticed that Zelda cosplay was in this year.
#1. King Hippo (Punch-Out!!)If you got it, you might as well flaunt it, amirite? And this guy has it.
And a few more...Companion Cube with a mustache and top hat for some reason.
A pair of Journey characters. That was such a neat game.
And... the same Journey characters, battling it out against each other.
Unfortunately that was about it for video game characters that I saw and recognized. There were some others, but I think they were related to MMO PC games and such, stuff I don't really follow. Ah well. I'll try to do better at ACen again this year!
