About Me:
My name is Jordan, and I'm a huge Capcom fan, as well as an avid cosplayer. My latest costume was actually Dhalsim. But I do plan on having more Capcom related costumes in the future.
Alright, this picture was taken the day of Halloween in Downtown LA. My friend snapped a shot of myself, and my girlfriend, (her head is at the bottom of the screen) in between a mock fight for funny Halloween antics.
My friend has FINALLY uploaded a pic, but I feel like I had to nag him just to do so. I feel horrible because so many people have given me grief about this, but I know some wanted a picture recently taken and not a professionaly photograph.
I'm doing this strictly so people will HOPEFULLY get off my back somewhat.
But here it is.
EDIT
This video was taken at the same location ON Halloween. I filmed this myself.
The sheer amount of animosity I have aimed at me is hard to really deal with. And, I understand completely where everyone is coming from. So, I've made the decision to ask to remove myself from the 1st Place seat, no title, no prize.
Give it to someone else. I had no intention from the beginning to win anything of anykind yet it happening kinda struck me in a way I didn't really understand. I don't want people to be angry at the Capcom staff for misscommunicating the rules of the contest and I don't want people to be angry at me.
The contest wasn't fixed. Coincidences taking place that made many angry and confused. I'm coming to everyone and being completely honest with you. My number one goal in entering the contest was to have fun. Show Capcom a costume many never do. It's nice to see peoples reactions and faces when they see a Dhalsim cosplayer. Considering not many do him in the first place. So, to reiterate. My aim was to show them something new, not to take a win from people who deserve it more.
Because in my opinion. I don't deserve it either. And that takes a lot for me to say. I've never won anything before it's true. But, I want to win something on fairer terms and fairer grounds with everyone else.
I don't want, however, for people to misunderstand my means when I do something.
I didn't think so many people would have taken offense to so many people joining Capcom for the contest. It was never my intention to cause any strife amongst some of the older crowd on the site.
I saw the prize and I wanted to try and go for it. Did I believe I would win? No, lots of people on this site do cosplay, and since I'm only new to it myself, I didn't see myself winning, but to be honest, it's the first time I've ever won anything so it came as a shock.
Still, it's not like I planned on joining just for the contest and then never posting here again. I was asked by another friend to join some time ago, and I just never got around to it. With the contest, it gave me that iniative to go ahead and join. Because even if I didn't win, I would still be on the site, waiting for all the awesome news Capcom is regularly posting in the Featured Blogs.
But again, I apologize if myself or others made anyone angry by doing so.
