This is a really late response to any of it just because I've just been busy with life in general.

It really didn't sink in for a while as i just kept on reading my name and seeing my picture posted on the list of winners. I read the comments and the ensuing controversy with my entry into this contest being used as a basis of argument. 

I'll be honest, i got pretty heated because everything was being directed at me without knowing full well what was put into that costume. I don't think that's fair or right that the other contest winners or I have to defend myself when we weren't in charge of picking the winners. I'm just going to link what was already posted in another blog and i feel the same way.

I had a lot more to say but I'll just let it slide for now.

edit: I did get a chance to see Dhalsim and Cammy in person a few months back. I'm sure they don't remember meeting me but it's something that only looks better in the flesh.
