Well I asked about doing a Dead or Alive gathering at ACen and lo and behold, one happened! Woohoo! :)

We had a fantastic turnout with Jann-Lee, Bayman, Zack and two, count them two! Ayane's!

I had a blast! :) It was nice meeting everyone. I hope to see you all at a future convention. :D


Bayman, Ayane (Default Costume), Zack, Ayane (Costume 6), and Jann-Lee
It got pretty crowded inside the hotel, so we all went outside. It turns out there's a nice area right outside the hotel with some shade and trees. However, it was also the main driveway, so I'm sure we scared a lot of people as they were pulling in and out of the hotel, including a couple of police cars. :) (4th picture*)
Two Ayane's back to back. Ayane in her default outfit from Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore. Go check out her web site at Kupo Kosplay
* Ayane also from Dead or Alive 2: Hardcore in her 6th costume. Check out her web site at Vigilante Cosplay.
Ahh, the perks of starting a DOA Cosplay gathering. (2nd picture *) Jann-lee also getting some love from both Ayane's.
Bayman also posing with the lovely fighters. Actually there was quite the line of people wanting to get photos with the two Ayanes. Hmm, I wonder why. ;-) Zack and Bayman teaming up... or are they? Zack charging at Jann-Lee!
The Boys of Dead or Alive:
Zack, Jann-Lee and Bayman
Uh oh, Bayman sees something to his right! Watch out! Bayman ready for action!
Ayane vs Zack! * The fighters are feeling each other out, looking for weaknesses... (1st picture*) Oh no! Zack dropped his guard and Ayane pummels him! Oh yah, ignore the hands holding up Ayane's ribbons. ;-)
A better look of Ayane's ribbons. And congratulations for winning a Judge's Award at the ACen Masquerade! Just standing there guarding the escalator. :) Photo by Lionel Bayman and Zack in the dealer room scaring everyone. ;-)
There were two more DOA cosplayers at the convention cosplaying Lei-Fang, but alas, they couldn't make the gathering. However, they had fantastic costumes!
