The catwalk and aftermath
Continued from I got game!
It was time for the catwalk. I saw 37 other cosplayers before my turn came, and by that time I was feeling the part. I posed with my parasol, then did the trademark fighting stance with the fan, then the trademark winning stance. Then practically FLEW off the stage. That was sooo freaky and weird and kinda scary as well, since the audience were really expressing their... appreciation of my costume. >.<

The remaining six cosplayers ramped as well, then all 44 of us went back on stage for group pics. Some formed their groups (Starcraft and FFX), some performed fight scenes (KOF and Capcom), and a couple even did an impromptu rendition of FFXIII's ending. ^_^ I was asked several times to do fight scenes too, since I am also a KOF character, but my costume was not really built for vigorous movements so I just declined.
This is my favorite fight scene. Kyo is played by my brother. ^_^

The announcement of the finalists was scheduled for around 8pm, so we had to wait around for that. In the interval, I got to watch the Ragnarok Juno Cosplay and the succeeding announcement of their finalists, had my pic taken by many peeps that I didn't know, chatted with old and new friends, and lingered around inside the Filcosplay booth.
Finally, the time has come for the announcement of the finalists. They were: Honey Candy, Kimari (FFX), Auron (FFX), a male ninja from a game I didn't recognize, Kunoichi (Shinobi), Quina (FFIX), Nightmare (Soul Calibur 2), a second Auron (FFX), Infested Kerrigan (SC), and Zerg Hydralisk (SC). The last three placed third, second, and first place consecutively, with the esteemed Robert Wong playing the Hydralisk. Unfortunately, I did not even get to the finals. Nevertheless I think Mai was a cosplay well done and well carried, judging from the feedback I got from my fellow cosplayers.
This is me with my wonderful Stormcrow! ^_^

cool! the tag-team blog is long overdue.
it's nice to know that the buckfutter group now has many representatives in the blog department.
btw, pisay98 is still buzzing about the mai shiranui costume.
now if only ruben and franz will update their blogs.
raven/stormcrow? parang huginn/muninn combo.

Hi pat! Our company is a member of the of IGDA, the one who sponsored U Got Game. I didn't go to the event though. Anyway, after the event, there were lots of pictures going about and an officemate of mine saw a picture of yours, commenting "if she were on the poster of U Got Game, more people would've come". Really interesting costume. hehe! :)
gusto ko yung quina costume! nakakaaliw.Ü
eventhough you didn't make it to the finals i have to say... panalo ka pa rin! :j

@Tseri

@Jam
