Sup Escapist. i dont post often enough on the forums.. but i lurk a lot.. and i got some big love for my gaming community :)

So me and my girl have a few rules. every week we go out of our way to try at least one thing that is new every week/weekend usually its a bar, Something there are plenty of in Melbourne Australia. Sometimes it is rock climbing.. once it was cosplay


There it is.. Super Meat Boy in all his glory.. this adventure was spawned the night before supernova in april and when i hesitantly asked my then new girlfriend to be my wingman to "a nerd thing" her reaction was instantly "CAN WE DRESS UP?"
so thats what i could manage given the time i had.. boxes and paint where easy enough.. i picked SMB because i knew to expect Naturo and FF a-plenty and well.. Minecraft box heads and Dr Who telephone thingys seemed like fair competition :D

anyway.. the day was a success i personally have never "dressed up" for this sorta pop culture gathering.. and we've talked about whats next for a while..

and it was all just talk.. till this week someone asked me "hey are you that guy who dressedd as super meat boy at supernova?" and that what sparked it... i have to top that red box

I've got 3 months.. plenty of craft materials.. and more tutorials on how to make armor and such than i can poke a stick at

im just lacking a Character for my Girl to be.

so! my fellow escapists! i need your advice. What should i dress my Girl up as this time?

rules: gaming inspired
other rules: would prefer a pair that we can both do.
other other rules: i love you!

also! i asked her to go through my stuff to findd anything.. and all she could come up with is something with a cloak? .......yeah i know right *eyeroll* girls!

Mr. and Ms. 'Splosion Man? I believe that would fit the criteria. Oh and obviously Pacman and Ms. Pacman

Basically anyone who could be recognised as a "couple" - Mario and Peach, Link and Zelda

Let's have a think...
She could be Chell and you could be a Companion Cube.
His and her's Halo armour (plenty of tutorials on 405th.com)
You said you wanted to avoid Naruto and Final fantasy, so I'll assume that extends to Kingdom Hearts, Bleach and the other overdone stuff as well.
Ryo and Nozomi from Shenmue. Would be an easy one to do as well.
Pac Man and Ms Pac Man?
Jessie and James for a bit of Team Rocket?
There are a lot to choose from!

Mario & Peach?

Toad & Toadette?

Link & Zelda?

Yoshi & an Egg?

Assault & Pit Girl? (from Monday Night Combat) (you could do another pro as well)

I'll come back if i think of anything else.

The only thing I can think of to have a cloak involved and seem couple-ish, is to take a he and she set of matching armor of any sort and paint them in nidoking/nidoqueen colors. Maybe throw in a pokeball motif somewhere to make it clear that the color palette is a pokemon reference. You'd need to get the three dominant colors of the 'mons in there for sure- the ear, chest and body color, but a purple suit of knight armor with a deep aquamarine cape lining would look pretty noticeable.

Thanks for the ideas guys! currently thinking about doing a bastion theme now, with her dresse as one of the people effected by the calamity.. people might not pick it up straight away though.. so maybe a boom box with a back up narrator would be awesome.

Oh, if I could cosplay as Kratos and my gf as Athena, we would. We plan on doing this for Halloween this year. Currently in the Beta testing phase. The gold lines on her face is a ***** to put on! Also having trouble with the Blades of Athena and I don't grow a strong goatee.

This might sound nerdy... but game character pairs that aren't necessarily Nintendo...

How do you feel about Harvest Moon?

Or Rune Factory?

Also... if you like this route and DO decide to Cosplay as Harvest Moon, I demand payment for my advice in the form of: Pictures.

You so infrequently see Harvest Moon Cosplay, I'd love to see how yours turns out.

Bioware games.

These allow for so many options, and such fun and interesting costuming that the possibilities are near endless. Their characters tend to be recognizable, distinctive, and fun. Plus a protagonist with switchable genders means that either of you could be the "main character and love interest" without too much fuss. Hope you both have tons of fun! You sound like a lovely couple.

That is an awesome photo!

And here was I going to suggest that everyone does Master Chief, so why not do His 'n Hers Elites. "Wort Wort Wort!"

Why not Jabba the Hutt & Leia as Slave?
Perfect couple. And she can choke you with the chain when she has enough. :D
