>tfw you will never see a haven trooper or Quiet cosplay

God-damned be Demon slayer and those trendy stuff, I want to see big tactical butts and awesome costumes.

Any of the Mortal Kombat characters from MKX

>>10825168 (OP)
>Quiet cosplay
Where have you been? I don't think I've been to a con without MGS cosplays and Quiet is still around at plenty of them.

TTGL was at one point the most cosplayed show

>>10825168 (OP)
be the change you want to be OP. regain the pretisge of cosplay from FOTM normies, costhots and race-baiting pocks.

>>10825168 (OP)
>never see a quiet cosplayer

You had literally all of 2010’s where the fuck were you at?

>>10830111
Yeah, when I said above you that people still dress as Quiet? I was contrasting it in my head with how Yoko sticks out now....because she's rare these days. I don't think when I see Quiet cause it's still around.

any hellsing character that isnt alucard.

Hellraiser cosplays

>>10830116
This.

Cosplay what you want. You never know when you'll make someone's day when dressed from their favorite series. I can't really blame the people who are truly excited for FOTM, but you can tell when costhots are just jumping on it as the hot trend.

>>tfw you will never see a haven trooper or Quiet cosplay

Haven Trooper we never saw more than a couple ever in history. Quiet still gets cosplayed every other con, you might just be going to the wrong cons.

>mfw at least 2/3 of all Quiet cosplayers don't even play MGS

>>10830144

I think you see her every now and then cause tittys honestly, saw one last year at animenyc

>>10830492
one of the quiet cosplayers on the east coast is fucking nuts.

>>10825168 (OP)
Yo mama

>>10830116
>not being white is race baiting
It's always the race baiting people that complain about others doing it

>>10829585
That's one of my two goto cosplays for pretty much every con I do. Feels good man.
Working on running a smoke machine through my mask next.

Thief Rikku
It was the "sexy" cosplay back in the day that everyone did

>>10825168 (OP)
aw

>>10830098
>Quiet is still around at plenty of them
There is still hope for this world.

>>10831712
Cute. Reminds me of Gwen Stefani back when she was still a human being.

>>10830159
I saw a cute schroddy last con

>>10825168 (OP)
MGS4 is the most underappreciated game in the franchise
Was a big fan of the BB unit but cosplaying them would be super hard because of the amount of bulk

vash stampede.

i hope the reboot will revitalize his relevance

>>10837991
One of the most common 90's cosplays I see. Probably third place after Eva's and Bebop's. (Admittedly I'm being rigid and defining this as "started and ended in that decade)

>>10838003
i just get so excited when i see bad ass costumes like Vash. Shoutout to gene from outlaw star too

(pic related might not be amazing, but its a welcome sight back in 2019)

>>10838020
I saw a vash at katsucon yesterday, the dream isnt dead

300 Spartans, those pack of frat boys used to be a con staple to show off their bodies. Nowadays they are nowhere

>>10838122
i'm expecting a few of the new Vash's to come around this year.

>>10825168 (OP)
Oh i’m supposed to cosplay quiet sometimes this year/next year! As long as you follow the ig hashtag #QuietCosplay you should be able to catch it

>>10825168 (OP)
People still do this all the time

L from Deathnote

>>10843569
Death Note is one of the most consistently popular series of that entire era, for cosplayers.

>>10844111
Yeah because outside of actually trying to dress up as a Shinigami, every lazy austimonaut wound up cosplaying as L or Light.

>0-effort cosplay

I feel this is something that really turned me away from the hobby as a whole, it's sadly the nature of the beast that majority of cosplay is done based on whats popular at the time. The fact no one really attempts the more impressive options as often with the flavor of the week, has bled my enthusiasm.

>>10831712
cute

>>10825168 (OP)
Aside from Rebecca, no one ever does BRAVO team STARS. I’m sure if I googled it, I would see some. But never at a con went to.

>>10838020
This is really good, he looks larger than life

>>10831708
fuck off scrote

>>10850557
There's no one from Bravo team that matters anyways.

>>10850889
fuck off hole

No More Heroes cosplay in general gets no love

>>10853219
Not common, but I've definitely seen my fair share. Even in recent times

Doing cosplay from old shit is awesome! I went to a con to be the Kei part of a dirty pair duo cosplay and do many old photographers approached us, glad someone remembered their old fave series.

>>10841919
2 months late but i'm following it now.

t. OP

>>10830141
I only begun cosplaying in 2017.

Is Cat Noir and miraculous ladybug stuff still a thing in conventions? First thing that came on my mind on the 'cool costumes not done anymore' subject

>>10854803
Yes

Want to know which parts of your post tell me you don't go to cons?

>>10838020
how tf did he get away with that firearm?

>>10831708
Looks cool!

>>10860098
the tag is probably hidden somewhere

>>10837910
No. Portable Ops or Peace Walker. Maybe not Peace Walker but definitely Portable Ops. 4 sucked ass anyways
Alternate history MGS games > contemporary/future timeline MGS games

>>10825168 (OP)
I did Dread Pirate Roberts/Westley from The Princess Bride at Ohayoucon, that was fun. I was surprised that apparently there was a Buttercup running around, didn't bump into her though.

is Sailor Moon a dead franchise?

>>10864297
hell no

>>10838020
>>10838122
>>10838131
Yeah vash cosplays seem to be making a slight comeback these days. I saw a short black girl with an afro cosplaying as him recently

>>10865417
Newer vash i guess.
I like the 90s vash cosplays, so much more impressive to pull off

Wolfwood is wolfwood

is KH still a thing? or did KH3 kill it?

>>10825168 (OP)
This makes my snake solid hehe

mlp

Queen's Blade

>>10870978
ZOO WEE MAMA

hetalia

Soul Calibur

>>10825168 (OP)
Remember Ragnarok Online?

Naruto also fell off despite being so huge nearly everyone at AX05 was from Naruto.

Bane was popular when Dark Knight Rises was fresh so it's kind of surprising when there hasn't been any recent Bane cosplayers when Baneposting never died.

I think Lightning and Final Fantasy 13 in general

>>10876897
>Remember Ragnarok Online

I see how Huge FF14 is today and remember how huge ragnarok was among weeb spaces and zeitgeist


Naruto in general fell off but theres always that obligatory try hard wearing an akatsuki cloak

old JRPGs (not FF)

>>10879732
>>10882257
Sakuracon?

This has never worked for anything in the history of ever

>>10885840
>Amnesty International doesn't exist

>>10879732
Out of nowhere I saw several Kos-Mos cosplayers back in AX 2015 and wondered what the occasion was.

>>10825168 (OP)
My buddies and I cosplay as the Straw Hat ronins from Ghost of Tsushima. Only problem is that they're so generic-looking that we could be from anything really.

>>10874919
wasn't that like fujo's brony equivalent?

>>10825168 (OP)
Because normies and attention whores will always goes for the easy and trendy stuff. Quiet could be a good way to justify wearing a slutty cosplay but she's not a FOTM waifu and the Haven Trooper design, or any tactical design really, is way to much work for these someone as lazy as them. Beside I don't think they'd be the kind to want to hide their face.

>>10825168 (OP)
I couple months ago I went as an ODST and only like three dudes knew what I was. Although It was kinda cute when a family asked for a picture, that made my day.
It's amazing how Halo is pretty much a dead franchize nowadays

>>10894148
God bless you I'm working on a set of the armor myself. Odst is probably peak for what I look in for a cosplay

>>10830159
I cosplay the Doctor.

Attack on Titan. Dead as fuck fandom, only comes around to fling shit at each other whenever a new season releases, then dies again shortly after.

all KoF

Dantes

How's MSPA/Homestuck cosplay been looking? Haven't attended a con since pre-Covid, back when you could find a few trolls or God Tiers roaming the halls easily.

>>10894866
I see aot cosplayers all the time (mostly dressed as titans)

>>10830159
More people should do Anderson. I've only ever seen two of them.

>>10893753
You're absolutely right. To cosplay a haven trooper would take a real metal gear solid fan, and the work to reproduce the parts, get what can be purchased ready like holsters and weapons... ain't for everyone.

>>10850889
How rude :)
>>10860132
Thanks man. One of these days I'll finish hooking up my mini fog machine to it

>>10879732
Saw a Claude and Leon from Star Ocean: The Second Story at MAGFest 24. It was refreshing to see.

>>10899286
lol

i can't remember the last time i saw a ff 8 or 9 cosplay.

>>10831712
I saw some one doing a really high quality cosplay of this with a girl who pulled it off really well at 2024 katsucon.

>>10838122
lmao this year too.

i saw a decent amount of these cosplays still being done

>>10903810
>I saw some one doing a really high quality cosplay of this with a girl who pulled it off really well at 2024 katsucon.
Yeah, same. FFX is one I'm always happy to see. There were a few other in there too, like Wakka and Lulu

>>10860549
I'm working peacewalker big boss rn, but I bet he's pretty cosplayed out of all the characters.

>>10825168 (OP)
Being relevant is the worst thing that can happen to your favourite IP in current year.

>>10825168 (OP)
jinx is trashy, trashy like that raver girl with 12 different kind of stds kind of way

I saw 3 Yuno Gasai at Anime Boston. Makes me wanna be Yuki simply because nobody else does and maybe if they act in character I might get a hug or something.

>>10906080
Big Boss is definitely the most-cosplayed Metal Gear character, but in my experience it's almost always the iterations from 3 or V. It's rare that I encounter PW Snake, and I don't think I've ever seen PoOps or GZ in real life.

>>10908443
I'm thinking about doing GZ or the sneaking suit from PW next but also wanna refine my current setup.
PW Snake is probably my favorite where he is in his life. He's independent but not totally jaded yet. I mean he gets that way over the game and then especially GZ.
Also the PSP models make things a little more forgiving and I can use my imagination to fill in parts. I gotta work on the deltoid armor.

p much anything from prime KyoAni - Clannad, Haruhi, K-ON, Free!, Amagi, Lucky Star

>>10830111
Still see a Yoko from time to time, but nowhere near its hayday. Saw one or two this weekend actually

>>10870978
Fell off hard, but shockingly saw entire groups of them this weekend. Usually see one or two tops though

>>10908470
>p much anything from prime KyoAni - Clannad, Haruhi, K-ON, Free!, Amagi, Lucky Star
I saw a dude dressed as Yui leaving a convention last weekend. I should have said hi but was kinda in a rush. There desperately needs to be more cosplay of these characters. I saw they should mandate cosplay to uncosplayed folks and make sure all the Luckys are there.

>>10906080
>>10908443
I had a talk about this just the other day (with someone dressed as Major Ocelot, incidentally enough). He did make a good point, that Naked Snake is one of the easier characters to do. MGScon had a good showing from across the series, naturally, and I'm really glad to learn literally right now that there'll be a year two

>>10908522
There's an MGS con?

>>10908524
https://www.mgscon.com/
As of last year, yeah. It was just one day in LA but an awesome time for fans. About a dozen of the voice actors showed up, and some of them like Vanessa Marshall and Cam Clarke would mingle with the crowd. I'm already looking into booking for this year's

>>10908528
Of course it has to be across the country.

>>10908785
At some point, an announcer asked how many people came in from the East Coast and quite a few raised their hands, myself included. There were even a few who did when asked if anybody flew in from overseas. You should definitely look into going if you can, it was a very soulful experience

>>10909331
Holy shit that's fuckin kino. The whole crew. He did a good job with the deltoid armor too.
Fuck I might try to go to this.

I crave women in full body tacticool gear

>>10825168 (OP)
Your favorite IP being popular in the cosplay community is really not a good thing even if tactical butts are awesome. To give you a personal example I'm a big fan of the SCP Foundation but the cosplay community surrounding it, in my country at least, is filled with secondary who openly admit that they don't consider the official website to be canon. They don't even try to add some cool details for the specific MTF they choose to cosplay it's always the same boring all-black tacticool operator cause they don't wanna put any work. There's not a single D-Class, scientist or even any popular humanoid SCP like 049 or 035. Lack of relevancy is the price to keep the leeches out of your hobby.

>>10825168 (OP)
I basically exclusively do characters who are a little outdated so I stand out a bit more.

>>10920044
Red Hood isn't outdated but cool job on the Alex Mercer cosplay, the arm look great.

>>10890463
Projext X Zone 1 and 2
Maybe

>>10915852
tactical my ass, you could take her out with a .22, no bodyarmor having loser haha

>>10920192
They keyword is tacticool, not tactical.

I always wanted to see a girl-take on the Doomslayer/Doomguy. The only one I saw was from this Russian cosplayer which turned out really good, but nothing else since then.

>>10920308
Does Doomslayer Isabelle count?

>>10920216
anon, this is thread is the only result for this image and I looked up the twitter and it’s some freak shit. explain yourself

>>10882257
>>10885747
are you really trying to say Gullty Gear cosplays aren’t as relevant anymore? guessing you literally have not touched a single con since Strive came out

>>10921418
the filename is the source, dunno what to tell ya

>>10889404
who is this suppose to be?

>>10891182
yeah basically lol, they coexisted at the same time too, and are singlehandedly responsible for cons banning nazi shit. i remember the weirdo girls in my art class looking at and trading shit like nazi germany x fascist italy yaoi

No, but it has shifted from being a "franchise" to being a brand, like Hello Kitty stuff.

>>10915852
Just join the marines and start taking in the butt, gaylord.

>>10825168 (OP)
literally any pandora hearts character or case study of vanitas character outside of noe or vanitas

i know pandora hearts is a little old but was hoping for maybe a burst of popularity considering how popular a case study vanitas was

>>10921435
nigga did you read my post? it’s a furry latex fetish account, what are you browsing

>>10922950
The likes of an artist with a fetish for women in tacticool outfits on twitter (before likes became private that is)

tacticool is cool but the peoples who usually wear tacticool are absolute morons

Touhou. It's surreal that I said that.

>>10921436
Mimiru from .hack

Well we clearly aren't going to the same events then

>>10926904
What cons do you go to? The 2hou community is everywhere on the east coast

>>10927350
>>10927994
Primarily AX and ALA. I will see the occasional Reimu but I feel like as a series, it got pushed out by Genshin.

>>10921437

Tenchi Muyou

>>10830098
Weird, I've only ever seen snakes and ocelots and one time a group as the ocelot unit.

Cardcaptor Sakura

>>10933708
frowned upon these days

My moot cosplay from today definitely fits into this category lol

>>10946900
Nah, still popular

>>10948218
Cute

>>10948218
good stuff

steven universe is dead

If you look at old photos from late 90's/2000's cons Revolutionary Girl Utena was fucking everywhere. Now I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen it in the past 10 years (and it's only ever Utena and Anthy, no one else)
>>10894866
Was gonna say this too. 2013-15 was flooded with survey corps jackets, titan body suits, and those weird ass pajamas. Now the only character I see regularly is Hange for some reason
>>10897157
I was Kyo a few years back and only one person recognized me lol. I'd bet it's a different story at Latin American cons tho :p
>>10868338
KH fans are still around but the demographic has totally flipped. It used to be fujos and emo kids larping Organization XIII, now it's millennial dudebros in Party City Sora costumes
>>10864297

>>10825168 (OP)

I miss that era. Those were some sharp ass uniforms and today you KNOW people would tailor the heck out of them.

Back then we had bias tape, dad's old jacket, and party city wigs or bad dye jobs.

>>10870978
Anime Expo has two gatherings organized for mulp this year. I've seen the same group of girls dress up at several socal conventions over the past few years as well

I'd say "be the change you want to see", but the people actually making the change don't have time to wax nostalgic online
>>10908470
I see Haruhi pretty often, more recently by old guys. It's represented in ALA's promo art

>>10955180
Old guys?

I'm sure we'll never quite get rid of her, but I think this year was the first time I've noticed a distinct drop in 2Bs.

>>10825168 (OP)
Not a whole lot of RWBY cosplay anymore. Yeah it's probably because the absolute state of the show (another convo for another day), but back in the day there was quite a bit of RWBY cosplay. Hell there used to be RWBY cosplay gatherings frequently at conventions.
