The quick rundown on D.I.D.#4 @A-kon
Results and more to follow later...

What happened at D.I.D.#4 this year?  So yeah, the deal is that we decided, we being moi Dahlsim & my partner in gaming crime Emmanuel "Master" Rodriguez, to build on the success of our annual Dead Or Alive In Dallas tournament by placing  D.I.D.#4 and all the DoA love in with the greatness that is the A-kon Anime Convention.  The result was fantastic!

We'll come back with much more detail later including full results, picture (WoW!), costume contest stuff yada yada but here's the quickest of rundowns from D.I.D.#4 @A-kon

• 1st Place: Ryan "OffBeat Ninja" Ward $1200 + 1st Place Trophy + Fatal1ty brand prize + Tecmo prize

Tecmo, DFW Games, DoA Central and DigitalDimentionCosplay brought to A-kon 19's game room it's 1st ever Video Game Cosplay Contest.  The goal was to break the Guiness Record for such an event which was 80 costumes.  The result was, well, urr, OUT-OF-CONTROL as A-kon + Gamers destroyed the record with almost 700 gaming costumes!  

• The winning DoA costumes were
• 1st TINA, 2nd Kasumi and 3rd Kasumi (yeah you judges missed that hot Hitomi :-)
• Pictures Pending so you'll have to check back for these hot pics to surface, but they'r worth the wait.

The fight for the world record had to be stopped on TKO because the streets of downtown Dallas were overflowing with Video Game Characters!   Literally they stopped taking costume contestants because of the overflow!  (I guess next year, they'll need more room :-) )

Also this year at D.I.D.4 the DoA costume contest (which became a full Video Game Costume Contest) delayed and almost blew the door off the main competition as the VIDEO GAME COSTUME CONTEST JUDGES WERE:

• Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel - Celebrity Judge
• Emmanuel "Master" Rodriguez
• Ryan "OffBeat Ninja" Ward
• Vanessa "Vanessa" Artega
• Mosi "sWooZie" Thorne

So yes, the main tournament was delayed as the professional gamers went around and JUDGED among all that gaming character goodness.  Tough job!

With TECMO's special sponsorship DoA cosplayers got special consideration and sponsored prizes!

More later but for now check out a few early Pics from

D.I.D. #4
Costume Contest
Blows Up @A-kon!

From DoA CosPlay to Guinness World Record Attempt.
The D.I.D.#4 Cosplay at A-kon Blows up!

Console Gaming sponsored by DFW Games

 

It started as DoA Costume Contest idea and now has become a major Costume Contest @A-kon:

 

DugFinn (above) from NVGA Houston Chapter
will be in Costume at A-kon!

That's right, this event started out with our idea to do a Dead Or Alive Costume Contest at D.I.D.#4 and now under the mighty Anime Minds at A-kon and Digital Dimensions Cosplay it's become a full fledged Video Game Costume Contest that will attempt to set a Guinness Book of World Records!  

Seriously this years Dead Or Alive in Dallas would be worth coming for the costume contest alone, but oh yeah, there's also a high level competition in DoA! 

Tecmo, DFW Games, DoA Central and DigitalDimentionCosplay are proud to bring to A-kon 19's game room it's very own Video Game Cosplay Contest.

All video game cosplayers are encouraged to attend and participate in the contest, but only DoA cosplayers are eligible to win the Ultimate Grand Prize!
