Nintendo/Super Smash Brothers 2010 gathering!

Katsumiyo · December 19, 2009, 01:10:01 AM

The gathering so far is planned to be at 2:00 P.M. on Saturday, Day 2, in the Convention Center Lobby. This is just inside the front doors of the convention center, between the escalators, due to the heat and harsh lighting outside.
Hey, everyone--
A bit hesitant to open this thread just yet, seeing as how most people are far from setting times or locations so far. However, I figured this thread should be made sooner rather than later. There also doesn't seem to be a thread for this here or on the Cosplay.com forums--however, please correct me if I'm wrong about that! This is the FanimeCon forum thread for the Nintendo and Super Smash Brothers 2010 gathering. Please post here if you'd like to be in the gathering, and give your character--be sure to specify whether you are certain to attend or not sure yet.
(Nintendo is exclusive, meaning games developed by Nintendo such as Animal Crossing. This does NOT include every game that can be played on a Nintendo system, but usually pertains to Nintendo-created games and "classic" characters such as Link and Mario. Super Smash Brothers means ALL Smash games, regardless of whether the character was present in Brawl or not.)

I've been working with Error, the coordinator of the Legend of Zelda gathering. The plan so far is to hold the Legend of Zelda gathering one hour after the Nintendo gathering, to avoid confusion and crowds from earlier gatherings.

Fanime will be taking group pictures during the Gathering/Event this year. If you do not want to be included in those pictures please step aside for those photos. By remaining with the group when the pictures are being taken you give your consent to be photographed.

If we can make it
Marth & an Ike done by my two friends.

:p Where is the Nintendo gathering?Well either way if there are either I would attend as Dark Link

Katsumiyo · January 21, 2010, 06:50:33 PM

I'd love to see you guys. Looks like the Cosplay.com thread got deleted for lack of interest, though.
Error, I'm hoping to have it inside the convention center, just inside the front doors by the escalators--hopefully around 1 or 2. If anyone else has input for location or time, though, I'd like to hear it.

iNSOMNiAC · February 03, 2010, 11:17:39 PM

Depending on the time and day of this gathering, I may be able to attend as Link (Melee). I'm sure that interest for this gathering will climb as it gets closer to Fanime, though if there is indeed a Nintendo gathering happening again this year, then I'm not sure if there is much point to have a seperate Smash gathering since the SSB cosplayers would all likely be at the Nintendo gathering.
But hey, if people want Smash, then go for it. Like I said, I'll probably attend if I can.

Moogleborg · February 04, 2010, 08:59:12 PM

Hmmmm....i'll possibly try to modify my Ash cosplay so I could be Brawls Pokemon Trainer. :3

error00004 · February 05, 2010, 01:23:04 PM

Come to think of it, I would think it would be best to keep it as just "nintendo", because it would include everything even SSB. :3 Also I would support you if you need help > ~< just hoping it wont be at the same time as any other gatherings i'm attending

Katsumiyo · February 05, 2010, 06:41:57 PM

I actually posted it, realized my mistake, and then couldn't edit the title to say "Nintendo/Super etc." Yes, this is supposed to be both Nintendo and Super Smash Brothers. My bad. But a lot of people don't understand that "Nintendo" means classic Nintendo characters that are usually present in SSB games--so people would bring anything published on the Nintendo console, which means tons of characters that aren't really relevant. (For example, last year there were Okami characters even though Okami is a Capcom game and was originally made for the PlayStation 2.) I'll try to edit my original post to be as clear as I possibly can.
I'm mainly trying to dodge the Vocaloid gathering and anything else terribly large, since it might be hard to fit multiple gatherings in close space. I think around 2:00 should be a safe time, but I'll be checking the current listings as often as I can. If anyone has input on time or location, much appreciated.

RooBird · February 05, 2010, 08:21:56 PM

Oh cool. I was waiting for a Nintendo gathering to pop up. :D Although... Well, I'm not sure if my costume would count as a Nintendo classic since it's a different variant of a Nintendo classic. Would a female Mario be an acceptable costume to attend with if I can go? ^_^

error00004 · February 05, 2010, 10:30:51 PM

I see. Well now I'm hosting the Legend of Zelda gathering and well I was thinking of making either before or after the Nintendo gathering.
It's kinda weird that people would mix that up though xD

Moogleborg · February 06, 2010, 01:29:01 AM

Well, okay then. :D I'll just come in my Ash Ketchum cosplay. ^_^

Katsumiyo · February 09, 2010, 09:30:39 PM

Oorashi: Yes, a female Mario is fine. There were a female Mario and a female Luigi at the AX gathering that were actually quite adorable. :3
Error: That could be a good idea. I'd say do the Nintendo/SSB gathering second, say half an hour after the Zelda gathering? Since so many Zelda characters will be present for the Nintendo/SSB gathering. :)
Moogle: Do you mean the Pokemon Trainer from Brawl? If you mean, literally, Ash Ketchum from the animated series, you should probably save that for the Pokemon gathering instead.

chris-barstow · February 11, 2010, 01:34:54 PM

Where will it be? I've wanted to try dr.mario cosplay for a while.

narutofan17 · February 11, 2010, 05:23:49 PM

I may bust out my King Dedede cosplay if I can fit it in

AirEric · February 12, 2010, 09:49:44 AM

If it's around the afternoon on any of the days then i'll be able to attend as Link. If it's Sat or Sun then i'll have a Sheik with me.

I'll try and see if i'll make a Pokemon Trainer cosplay for this gathering. ^^ If not, then it'll just come as Ash and just take pics of the gathering. ^_^

Kyra_Maverick · February 16, 2010, 04:50:09 PM

I'm interested! I'm planning on a human version of Celeste from Animal Crossing!

Otaking007 · February 22, 2010, 11:45:39 AM

Its a me Mario~!

Katsumiyo · February 22, 2010, 09:06:53 PM

Great to hear from all of you! I'll begin to add a list of cosplayers attending on the original post. I worked things out with the Zelda gathering coordinator, so the Zelda gathering will be right after the Nintendo gathering. Nintendo/SSB will gather at 2:00 in the front lobby of the convention center, between the escalators. If anyone has trouble with the time and location, please speak now while the LoZ coordinator and I can still move things around!

iNSOMNiAC · February 22, 2010, 11:02:07 PM

Hmmm, if it ends up being on Saturday then I probably won't be able to make it, since I've already got two gatherings I'm trying to juggle that day within a very close timeframe, but they are all still pretty liable to change, so keep me on the list as a "maybe" for now, por favor. :J I'd like to be there if I can!
