Sadly, I missed the big cosplay comp that went down yesterday, as it clashed with Kojima's conference address. Still, they were all out on show beforehand, and I was around long enough to pick up a few lessons.

DO: This, despite the fact that behind my unsteady hand a crowd of 15-20 kids had assembled, with much pointing of fingers and laughing. My favourite? Chun-Li, because I had no idea who the other three girls were and Link was a bit scary.

DON'T: Anything in this photo. Luke Plunkett
