Jul 14 2009Punch Me!: Smash Brothers Brawl Cosplay
Artist/photographer Greg de Stefano created a gallery of Super Smash Bros: Brawl cosplay characters. As you'll see, he did an incredibly good job. Not as good of a job as I did, but he didn't just win 'Employee of the Month' for the second month in a row, now did he? No, he didn't. Where's your "#1 Stunna" coffee mug, Greg? Exactl-- WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?!?
Hit the jump to see a bunch more of my favorites, then the link to see them all (there's a lot).
Thanks to ray and Damian, who smash bros but never hoes. They respect women.

13. limewarrior - July 14, 2009 1:42 PM
Brad's right. I recognized this the second I saw Mario. This is a film noir style web series based on SSB named "There will be Brawl" They have more characters than this. Kirby and Moon Knight are crazy.
Check it out at

Nothing like seeing Live action Mario beat DK to death with his bare hands.....

Silly rabbit, cosplay is for chicks! (And guys to stare at them.)
I don't want to see a Mario cosplay unless it's a chick dressed as Mario in bondage with big bewbs.

Holy cheese, that's Matt Miller! He's a good friend of mine. He's the guy making the "There will be brawl" vids. Good stuff. Go check it out, guys, he deserves the support, believe me.

33. lemcott - July 15, 2009 9:37 AM
it would be a lot better if you guys knew what these were from so I'm gonna fill you in.
the ganondorf? that's Matthew Mercer, a pretty proficient voice actor and writer in anime and video games. He's writing a web series of a dark and gritty real life version of Super Smash Bro.s Brawl called "There will be Brawl" at http://therewillbebrawl.com/
it's put on buy Escapist Magezine, and it's very, VERY NSFW. but is extremely entertaining in it's own right.

35. Aktrez - July 15, 2009 2:46 PM

normally i love cosplay, but i'm just not impressed. mario and luigi are alright, i guess, but why is pit gay? he's an angel! isn't that a little sacrilegious?

I love masturbating to anything that doesn't have a circulatory. Their genitalia are doorways to a vacuum that sucks the cock head like a dollar hooker getting paid a 5. Yes. my imagination is vivid.
