Aaah! My eyes! Part 2

[scooby]

Why every video game fanboy with brown hair thinks he looks like Squall (who is really supermodel material) is beyond me! There really should be a law stating that if you're going to cosplay a hot and slim character, you should atleast be.... hot and slim. Well, slim, anyway.

Trying to find a decent-looking Squall cosplayer is like wading through a cesspool in search of a diamond, but, miracle of miracles, after much searching, I finally found a couple that aren't half bad. So, to help relieve your bleeding eyes: http://cosplay.otaku.ru/img/vr3/squall02.jpg
He is MAJOR GORGEOUS for a male cosplayer, IMO. (Though not even close to Squall, of course.)

There are also a couple of cute Asian Squallers on this page (click pictures to enlarge):

And, of course, though he doesn't really count: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mahamari.com/story/gfx/la_squackt02_s.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.mahamari.com/story/look.shtml&h=200&w=300&sz=27&tbnid=dDuOoXOl6atjlM:&tbnh=74&tbnw=111&hl=en&start=3&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgackt%2Bsquall%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN

*sigh* Now I feel better....:love:

P.S. I know it's cheap of me to keep taking potshots at cosplayers, but they're such easy targets....:D And they deserve it! For their crimes against manga, anime and games. *snigger*

I know what you mean, but I find that it is mostly caucasian cosplayers that make a mockery of it. You can never really find any good white cosplayers. I guess we are just too damn lazy to get some awesome costumes or something like that.

[Zeromus_X]

Or, you know, look physically fit :P

But yeah, I don't think anything can beat the 'please pour acid into my eyes!!' factor of the Kuja one. :cat: :eep: That second Squall one is actually really nice. Too bad there's no Rinoa to go with him. :choc2: The Rinoa in the first picture isn't so bad, IMO.

Please pour acid into my eyes!!!

[Twilight Edge]

OMG,the first Squall has obesity.

[boys from the dwarf]

i prefer cosplayers who actually have respect for the things they are dressing up as instead of totally mocking it like the first picture.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I would dress up as Squall, but I don't want to have people dying from over-sexification. By the way can we have some Quistis cosplay? Please? Preferably good?

[DudeSon2004]

The first guy as Squall!!! I don't think so.
He's not even close to this one,
http://www.finalfantasyworld.co.uk/khextreme/images/AKH_Leon.jpg

The guy with the guitar is a decent Squall.
Least he looks more like this,
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid49/p23c6ea8ddef604bebd25a720362326a4/fcb6d5c7.jpg

I'd dress up as Squall too, but someone would probably take pictures & post them on the net,
then make links here & I might get abuse like the first Squall wannabe.
But I'd do a better job than him.
Think I'll stick with Cloud first.

[scooby]

I've attached a picture of another Squall cosplayer who shouldn't have even bothered. These people do realise that Squall is 17, right? The amount of middle-aged Squall wannabees is truly horrifying.

Also, here's some evidence of a disturbing trend among the cosplay community: (overweight) female Squall cosplayers. Just.... wrong, on so many levels.

How is the woman in the third picture overweight? :cat:

[Hambone]

That's a woman!?

[Darth Cid]

Zidane: *Looks at all the pictures* :eek: Mighty Bahamut's wings!

[Druggelz]

oh dear

my vision about Squall has just changed, I will have nightmares

Cosplay is funny, but please people only do it when you look like them

[Twilight Edge]

*looks at second pic*Super Squall's gunblade!

[Acid Raine]

What usually makes cosplayers look ridiculous is
that their costumes look like they are made out of paper. They cant ever seem to get any that look good. I would think Squall's would be easy, considering it is just a leather coat and gloves, and regular black pants and white shirt. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[zbonks]

the second picture of the squall cosplay has squall's scar wrong!oh well, at least he doesn't want to make me scratch my eyes out:)

[Acid Raine]

The second one doesn't have a scar.

Yeah,only the obese Squall and the girl Squall has scar(I no count uncle Squall).The cool Squall has no scar,too bad he missed out on that though.If not,he'd lookeven more like Squall.

[Acid Raine]

Why is it that the "cool" (is that what we're calling him?) Squall reminds me of that kid in Terminator?

[*~Angel Wing~*]

OMG the guy with the guitar is hot sh*t!!! :kaolove2: :kaohappy2 :D

[Twilight Edge]

OMG the guy with the guitar is hot sh*t!!! :kaolove2: :kaohappy2 :D

lol, I don't think so but (hehe) I see what you mean...:hahaha:

[*~Angel Wing~*]

And, of course, though he doesn't really count: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.mahamari.com/story/gfx/la_squackt02_s.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.mahamari.com/story/look.shtml&h=200&w=300&sz=27&tbnid=dDuOoXOl6atjlM:&tbnh=74&tbnw=111&hl=en&start=3&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgackt%2Bsquall%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN
Aw he counts...:kaolove: Who doesn't love Gackt? :D

Aw he counts...:kaolove: Who doesn't love Gackt? :D
I dont!

[scooby]

I was just thinking..... Squall's design was supposedly influenced by River Phoenix, right? (Even though River was a blond, tan hippie - with rather small light blue eyes and an upturned nose.... Nothing like Squall, in my opinion.)

Well - compare "cool" Squall with this picture of River: http://www.bttw.co.uk/stills/images/3052.jpg

There are a bunch of other "musician River" pictures on this page: http://www.myriverphoenixcollection.org/musician.html

Just a random and pointless observation....

[crazybayman]

Aw he counts...:kaolove: Who doesn't love Gackt? :D
Not I.

Why on earth is that second Squall wannabe holding a guitar? There's no reason to believe that Squall plays guitar. He has no time, nor the interest to play a musical instrument. He just wants to bust some @$$.

And that fool doesn't even have the guitar strapped on right.

*sigh*

[Laugh at face of Danger]

*regrets ever deciding to cosplay*

and that's all i can say

*sigh*Pfft. Nitpicking, much?! You're just jealous 'cause he's totally hot! :p

And sorry guys, but the obese Squall pic seems to have mysteriously disappeared off the internet.... I'll delete the link.
