Y'know, Flynn, i was just kidding about those Sony Online Entertainment booth babes winning the cosplay-off of Comic Con this year. There were plenty of contenders, but I'm not ready to reward anyone yet with the coveted Kotaku No-Prize For Achievements In Outstanding Cosplay and those two were clearly disqualified for not having made their own outfits.

Most of the cosplay leaned heavily toward Super Mario Bros., Final Fantasy, and Street Fighter, but there were few stand outs. Take the Typing of the Dead cosplayer for instance. Not much to the costume, but a welcome change from all the Narutos. There was a great pink Spartan warrior that I missed getting a snap of him. Maybe next year.
