Pyromaniac Cosplay

mani writes "This is truly taking cosplay to the next level. Not only are they dressing and acting out characters from SNK/Playmore's King of Fighters series, but using actual fire to truly simulate the 2d fighting experience. Pictures and video included. Warning: site is most definately not in english."

    ...just makes it more fun for those of us not really interested in the subject matter, because then you can imagine that the site says whatever you want it to say. :)

  4. Sure "fire" way to land on the front page of \. by Flounder · · Score: 4, Funny
    Set parts of your body on fire, then act out scenes from a pretty weak 2d fighter.

    And setting the tires of my DeLorean on fire wasn't good enough?

    What about setting children's balloons at the fair on fire and screaming "OH THE HUMANITY!"?

    We laugh and ridicule the less intelligent members of society, then we reward them when their antics amuse us. Hell, works for me.

    Ok, a lot of stuff that comes out of Japan is cool.

    But, seriously what are they thinking... "Let's set our arms on fire and fight with eachother to make it look like we are video game characters!!"

    I don't even wanna go into the apparent obsession with tentacles and demonic monsters in their sexual fantasies....

    Wait till they see me in my pneumatic hardsuit with the built in atmospheric controls and health monitoring. I'm still trying to perfect my ego-border dissolution skill so I can turn people in to puddles of jello in act 3.

    Turning them back isn't so easy. Sigh.

    I'm sorry, but the "translated" version is just as confusing to read as the Japanese version.
