First up is the winner of the Capcom pumpkin-carving contest (our Mega Man pumpkin came in 3rd), which stole the show with its outstanding lighting effects. You've got Dark Void's Will (in helmet) up front, and the illuminificated DV logo shining out the back.
It was just plain purdy, and carved by Brian, the easily-found Waldo pictured on the right.
Next is one of our favorite Capcom costumes this year. It didn't make it into our costume contest, but in truth, this is less a costume than a lifestyle, and... wow. Just wow:
--Crazy beard and mohawk? Check.
--Banana-hammock? Check.
--Bear-wrestling scars? Check.
--Appropriately shaved chest-hair? Double-check.
In short, some of the finest, most terrifying Zangief cosplay on record. Thanks to Shana and Danny for the pix!
It's a gallery of pics from inside (and outside) of the Capcom Fight Club, featuring Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, MVC2, and a "Dash" of Super Street Fighter IV (see what I did there?).
We were only able to give a handful of people a chance to go hands-on with SSFIV, though we'll correct that with plenty more SSFIV goodness to share as the Fight Club train rolls into new cities. In the meantime, enjoy pics of people milling around excitedly, crushing/getting crushed, me sweating, Francis mural-ing, and more.

UPDATE 5: We are FULL! Apologies if you did not get in, but there will be a next time!
Wanna throw down at the NYC Capcom Fight Club?
In the TvC: Ultimate All-Stars department, it's the world's first chance to go hands-on with Mega Man Zero and Joe the Condor, plus Tekkaman Blade, Frank West, and all your rebalanced returning TvC favorites. On the Super SFIV tip, it's an exclusive taste of Juri, T. Hawk, and Dee Jay.
Hey Ladies! If you're looking for love and are into bookish Street Fighter guys, and are in the UK, you're in luck! Did I mention he's currently "between homes"? Well, at least you know he's honest:
Hit jump, punch, block, jump, forward, punch, kick to activate my flaming ninja fists of doom. Dork, 34 (M), really hoping to find a nice woman for whom 'enjoying the latest Mark Greif piece in the LRB' is a valid (and attractive) Street Fighter character ability. Failing that, any of you will do. Also looking for a flat to rent in Wimbledon.
Over in Unity's mighty Creative Forum, d3v has a nice collection of custom joystick templates.
Of course opening the case on your Mad Catz Tournament Edition fightsticks violates the warranty, but if you are the fearless "we don't need no stinking warranties!" kind, you'll find some fun stuff to play with, with everything from the obvious Street Fighter inspirations down to Plasma Sword!
Of course he's also got a work-in-progress Unity stick design, which warms my cold, cold heart.
And if you want the fancy new cases PLUS some gorgeous and limited-edition (as in, numbered and whatnot), start scouring the internets for one of the few remaining Femme Fatale fightsticks.
