Demean your wretched selves for an Xbox 360 and Soulcalibur IV swag photo

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's that time again -- I have yet another Xbox 360 to give away thanks to my friends at Rocket XL, and a Destructoid fanbase that I want to give it to. This time, the contest celebrates the release of Soulcalibur IV and we have a main prize, plus two runner-up prizes:

1st prize: XBOX 360, SC IV faceplate (for XBOX 360), SC IV game, and SC IV shirt
2nd prize: SC IV game (system of their choice) and SC IV shirt
3rd prize: SC IV shirt

As ever, Destructoid gives good gifts, but we always want a little something in return, preferably involving your dignity. This time around, it's very simple -- cosplay. That's right, you lucky dogs. I want photographs, the more demeaning and pathetic the better, of you -- that's YOU -- in a Soulcalibur IV-themed costume. 

Use this post's thread to post a picture of yourself in a Soulcalibur IV costume while holding an "also cocks" sign for proof for your chance to win these lovely prizes. Contest runs to the end of the month -- that's July 31. You have plenty of time to gather some gear, a camera, and a trash can for your self-respect. But before I sign off, I have some great news:

This contest is WORLDWIDE. Yes, Mr. Destructoid has heard the pleas of non-US residents and we've arranged with Rocket XL to foot the bill for any international shipping. Hey, I wouldn't dare incur the wrath of my countrymen on a third 360 giveaway, would I? Good luck to all involved, be you American or not.

Whoa whoa easy there tiger, I never said anything about DJDysentery, so why run in to defend him?


But if someone as well known on Destructoid as you vouches for him, who am I to argue?

Suff0cat makes a very fair point and I've made a slight extra requirement to solve the problem. The whopping two people who have already entered don't need to re-enter, I'll trust them. Plus I already know that's Rio.

Didn't read all the way did you? The whole bit where Jim posted a comment right above yours, agreeing with my point and saying he's added the bit about an "Also Cocks" sign...

If I get my GF or a friend to dress up, can I win that way? I'd design the costume.

I still want to know if the SCIII version of Tira would suffice.
I wonder if her old costume will be usable in IV as a second outfit. Hrm.

Isn't it a bit unfair that some people actually have money and cosplay so they have outfits already? Either way I guess whoever wins will deserve to win anyway.

Awesome. Double-post ftw, Greg. Now everyone's doubting the legitimacy of the photos.

Whatev, I'll get another pic with a COCKS sign when I get back home.

I had to write "also cocks" backwards so it would show up correctly in the mirror. I also didn't want to put on the makeup again.



Have I not done enough? Are you not entertained?

This is my entry for the contest, is going to be LOOONG, so sorry about it. Also, sorry about being late, i usually don't want to participate on contest while they are on their last week, but we had to make this costumes from zero, especially made for the contest and everything was made by us (except the Yoda and Vader masks and the lightsabers).

First, let me introduce everyone

From left to Right: Yoda (My little brother), Amy (Eris, my girlfriend), Raphael Sorel (Me) and Darth Vader (my other little brother)

I don't know if multiple entries or entries with one more person are allowed, but all Costumes were made by me. I hope it counts

First one, Yoda (he took another Lightsaber by mistake)


Vader (even without all his machines, he's still a badass)


Yoda vs Vader (360 vs PS3. I'll bet for the green guy)



Me as Raphael, god's favorite Rapier wielder




Eris as Amy, part Goth, Part Lolita, part awesome





Well, and what's a Cosplay without a Caramelldansen

Well that might be it... unless, hey! why are you staring at me like that!?... NO!, you are not asking for this, right?!?, HEY! Please no!, don't make me do this! You know i don't want to!... Please!! Leave me alone!!!











*The Sign reads: i know you were expecting this. I can has teh Xboxs nao?"


Oh god, what i've done!?!?!???!? I can't look any more pathetic x__x

Also, i forgot to take the "Also Cocks" picture with everyone else while disguise, so i guess this will work :D





We all worked hard for this, i making all the costumes and the others posing. I hope you like my entry, you can count this as only one or 4 different ones, but i hope it can count as one.

Thank you~

I can just see Jim in his penthouse office, cackling madly and templing his fingers. "Dance, my puppets." he says softly as he scans the pictures in Vongore's entry.

Seriously though... that looks like it took a LOT of work, and I don't think anyone will deny that you've given up your dignity. Can we just call the winner?

Also, I appear to have gone through some sort of temporal fluctuation while posting. Scary Womanizing Pig Mask must be rubbing off on me.

Oh, hi y'all. djDysentery here. Just wanted to say,

(also, cocks)

I've just gotta thank my friends for making such an excellent Soul Calibur outfit. This here's Amy, modeled by none other than me.





But you don't want quality costumes, do you? No, you want my dignity. You want my self respect. Very well.





Yeah, my friends later thought it'd be funny to stick all kinds of crap between the straps.



Since being half-naked seems to be "in" this time of year, I thought this would be just wonderfully demeaning.









Yes, you people may think crossplaying or standing in your underwear in the safety of your own house and home is demeaning. I've done just that, only IN PUBLIC. As amusing as seeing Voldo push around a shopping cart in a parking lot may be, I just thought a 360 was worth a lot more than my dignity. I hope you approve, Mr. Jim Sterling.

I was fortunate enough to get off with only a stern warning by a passing security officer, but I was told to never return to their premises again. I nearly shat my (under)pants being afraid of having "indecent exposure" or something tagged on my permanent record.

Well, there you go. I'm gonna go cry now.

Damn.

In my defense all I can say is that it's more demeaning for me because I'm obese and hairy.
I'm going to go cry in my room now.

Howdy folks, thought I would enter as well seeing as the grand prize is a 360 and copy of sc4. Trying to win the 360 for my friend whose house was broken into recently and lost his 360, DSlite, and macbook (sucks to live in LA sometimes), while sc4 is for arrogant ol' me. You want sc4 cosplay? you got it. Lost of dignity? enjoy...I present to you "A Morning in the life of Nathaniel 'Rock' Adams"




6AM First thing's first.


7AM Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?


8AM After seeing Bangoo off, It's off to work, see ya!

Some last minute extras! Luckily we also made a Setsuka outfit. Because there must be moar.









Yes, all of the costumes, Mitsurugi, Amy, Voldo, and Setsuka were handmade. Even Setsuka's umbrella/sword. We worked really hard on our costumes, and I hoped that I did all that I could to degrade and demean myself. From scaring our parents who happened to walk by (and will probably never look at me the same way again), to the passersby in the parking lot, to the people by the pool and sand volleyball court, to that generous security officer, this contest has cost me both self-respect and my dignity. But I suppose that's not saying much, as the two are apparently worth less than an X-box 360. I don't know what more I can do. Hope y'all enjoy.

I found out there was this contest and...well now i don't feel SO BAD that i made this yoshimitsu get up.

my budget was much lower then Dysenterys I'm sure at a wopping $0.00. Ducktape and cardboard are your friend.

Ok. So all entries without the "ALSO COCKS" sign are all automatically disqualified right? And Lark totally posted on 8/1.

(I want a better chance of saving $60... or can we get the premium edition if we win?)

...um it may be 8/1 where YOU live when i posted it, but not here. also its never been THAT strict of a deadline for these contests >.> also, I have my also cocks shirt on (not in that picture) so I figured it would double as the same thing. if there is that much demand that I post with the sign I can do as such to further verify that its me :P
