so, my friends have decided that i am cosplaying hazama for chicago comic con. does the costume have any unexpected headaches that i should know about?

i second this... i have to wear ties for work anyways.

how about a line of shirts based on the drive crests in BB. no explanation, just a stylized rendering of the crests covering most of the shirt in a color combination that references the characters default colors. i.e. back shirt with a pink crest for rachel, red shirt with black/dark purple for ragna ect. think like the affliction shirts that haven been popular lately as an example of what i am thinking of. got this idea last night and sounds like if could be good if done right and fit the subtle but recognizable goals.

personally, if i can physically be in vegas and any form of BB is on the lineup, i'll play just to support it. but, it seems that BB has some just really bad luck. while CT isn't inherently bad, it isn't CS. if SSFIV was coming out in august instead of april (and for the sake of analogy, had an arcade release), i am fairly certain that srk would be having the same internal debate that we are. it's not that we are not appreciative of the slot, it's just that everyone really wants to show BB at it's best. if it's CT, then we might as well be playing football with a broken leg. as much as i would love to see BB on the main stage, we should probably take a step back for a year, let a game like melty take the spot and hope to every deity ever envisioned that Arc System Works gives the next BB a 18 month+ development cycle so we don't go through this again next year

if things work out right i might make it out this year for the first time. now to just get some skill....
