Where People Look Like Mortal Kombat Characters (and Xenosaga Goes to the Beach)

Here’s just a taste of what’s in store from this week’s cosplay roundup here on Kotaku:

A badass Scorpion from Mortal Kombat. Some Star Ocean cosplay. Also something from Dynasty Warriors. A Dead or Alive lady who looks part-screenshot. Valkyria Chronicles, Zelda and World of Warcraft. Oh, and a Xenosaga bikini shoot.

In addition to those you’ll find an Alice, more Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy and a rather…unique reinterpretation of the American War of Independence. In which the British, thanks to their Lancer Assault Rifles, gain the upper hand.

To see the larger pics in all their glory (or so you can save them as wallpaper), right-click on the “expand” icon on the main image above and select “open in new tab”.

Fancy Pants is a look at the world of cosplay (costume play), where people dress up as their favorite video game characters. Sometimes it works! Sometimes it…yeah.
