White chicks are prettier. She needs to get that eye surgery to make her look like a white chick like some japanese chicks do… What? Lets be honest here shall we? It’s not like you see any white chicks going to a plastic surgeon saying “make my eyes look asian”.
Yikes, @ Grumpy - While it’s probably politically incorrect to admit it, when I saw this picture the face did seem way off to me. The hair has a bad dye job… I don’t know it’s just off. Certainly the videogame depiction of sero suit Samus looks like she is a white girl. I guess Japanese Men think white women are prettier too. Personally I think Asian girls are mega hotties.
Asian girls are very hot.
That is a nice costume, she must be a big fan of the series!
“Looks good. But in order for it to be accurate, her chest needs to be a little obscenely larger.”
That costume leaves little to the imagination. I WONDER… If YOU were in a skin tight costume, would you ” Fill it out” in the right male areas better than she does in her female ” right areas” ? What would SHE say about you?…. yeah… shut up.
She is nice to look at. End of story.
Only the ultra losers/ nerds on the internet would complain about someone that they NEVER could get to even date them in reality.
She is Asian, that is why she doesn’t look exactly like Samus, oh and also because Samus is not REAL…. maybe that could be it.
I not saying asian girls are super ugly but white chicks have more variety in eye color and hair color, show me an asian chick that is as hot as Angelina Jolie, with or without surgery. Doesn’t exist. The hottest asian chicks are… wait for it… HALF WHITE!!! Hapa. Asian chicks all look the same. Yeah thier eye and hair and skin colr can vary a little but not as much as a white chicks. However it is also true that something like 90% of all Japanese have no discernable underarm smell. Not sure why. Missing gland? So that’s the trade off uglier but less smelly chicks. I’m just saying I’d rather have a smokin’ hottie who has to use deoderant than an ugly asian ho who saves three bucks a month on Secret underarm protection.
@ nobass Way off topic? Is this not just some picture of an asian chick for us all to gawk at? What did I say that was racist? Some Sociologists say that there are no biological differences between the races. That statement is at best scientifically untrue. There are obvious differences between the races. I am just being honest when I say I have aesthetic preferences when it comes to attraction. Just like like all other males on the planet. If you really dig asians like gradius more power to ya. I didn’t provide any false or misleading information, I have read the convincing rebuttals to The Bell Curve, I’m not racist, although I am white living in a society that probably occasionally favors whites. But I don’t directly participate in discrimination. I realize that being white in a society controlled by whites may make me a racist by some peoples warping of the term racist. But I don’t hate other races because of their race. I merely stated an opinion on what I find attractive. I you are offended by that and you want to restrict my free speech rights by having me banned from a place on the internet of no real importance (although I do believe this is one of the best sites on the whole net for all things nintendo) then you might as well move youself to a communist country where you can let outside sources tell you what to think about every topic under the sun. And what does free spech have to do with videogames anyway? If you can’t find an answer to that question go back to kindergarten
Uh… wow, I don’t think Grumpy is being racist that’s just the way jerks talk these days. By the way my old room mate Kohea Taira, was from Japan and he never had to use deodorant. But then I knew a guy from Okinawa and yhe did use it. I wish I was Japanese. I think he would sweat less too.
Well you got me curious, so here’s the answer -http://www.straightdope.com/columns/021004.html
Asians have fewer apocrine glands, which are the stink makers, so they don’t smell as bad as blacks and whites. I guess I want to be Japanese too.
If you think your First Amendment right applies to privately-run forums, you’re so very wrong. Do some fucking research. Infendo can ban you for whatever reason they fucking want.
GrumpyDavid, I think it’s safe to say you’re the only person here who thinks Asian girls are ugly. The rest of us (guys) are having a blast watching Bikini-clad Japanese chicks play beach volleyball at the Summer Olympics.
But, to be fair, ideally a white chick would play Samus. Samus is Irish (Samus = Irish name, plus the names of her parents from the manga were Irish names, as well).
@ nobass Yeah it doesn’t take “research” to know that a private forum can ban anyone they want. Anyone remember the several hundred hundred year period not too long ago when private restaurants, clubs, stores, etc… would ban black people? I realize this is a different situation, but stomping on any opinion or situation that differs from your own is exactly the kind of sentiment that breeds racism. You’re an idiot for letting me get you all hot and bothered. I don’t know where you live but I live in America and nobody can take away my freedom of speech. It’s perfectly OK to ban jerks on internet forums for being offensive or politically incorrect or cursing (like dropping an f-bomb like nobass just did). It just saddens me to see people who are so full of themselves get all bent out of shape when people express thier personal opinions and beliefs. We may not need to celebrate diversity but stifling it like nobass advocates is just one step closer to genocide. So I hope you are proud of yourself, you share inklings of the same mind set as members of the KKK. For the record I was exagerating when I said asian girls are ugly. I had a crush on an asian girl in college actually but I was too chicken to do anything about it. Can we get back to talking about how much we like nintendo stuff now? That Boom Blocks game is sure fun…
“Samus” isn’t an Irish name. “Seamus” is an Irish name. “Samus” is a fictional character.
And, Grumpy… the fact that I even considered arguing your “Asian girls are ugly” comment makes me sad that I lost those 10 seconds. Use your brain and open your eyes.
Wow. Just take a look at your first comment, then tell me who sounds more like the KKK. If “it’s perfectly OK to ban jerks on internet forums for being offensive or politically incorrect or cursing”, then i nominate you for the honor.
grumpy stfu that may be considered racist marking off asian chicks and just saying white chicks are way hotter or an asian chick needs to be half white in order to be pretty.
So tell me this is hotter that your totally ugly white mom? i think it is. Im done with the trash. Go back to your farm.
I’m not saying that I PREFER obscenely large breasts, I’m simply saying that Samus’ breasts ARE obscenely large. Maybe even the opposite. I think this chick’s hot, but if you don’t understand what I’m saying, go play some Brawl as ZS Samus and pause it while she’s jumping or something.
Therefore, she is not identical. That’s all I was saying. I didn’t pass any judgement.
uhhhh, whats with all fighting and bickering? thats what playstation fanboys do. anyways, this lady has a great costume and maybe she’s a fan of metroid. for the whole boob thing, she was better portayed in metroid prime 3. her charater model in brawl was just a little distastefull. i have respect for the charater and metroid property, but she was aproved by nintendo and theres nothing we can do about that.
Okay, here’s the thing: Samus may not be an Irish name, but Seamus is—the Japanese wouldn’t pronounce the “e”, so it makes sense that it would be dropped.
“Aran” isn’t exactly an Irish surname, but “Alan” is, so that too, would be spelled differently because of the game’s Japanese origin.
Samus’ parents were named Rodney and Virginia—Irish names, if I’ve ever heard ‘em.
So, this may just be my opinion, but I think there is very good grounds for believing that Samus Aran is of Irish descent.
Seamus is a man’s name. Also, there is nothing in the Metroid canon that specifies anything about the origins of Samus or her parents.
@ Grumpy
Assuming you haven’t already been banned for your obnoxious and clearly provocative nonsense; women are women. Some are hot, some are not. Colour or “race” (which is an imaginary concept invented by supremacists centuries ago) has nothing to do with it. Yes, there are distinct physical differences amongst in people groups , but scientific research shows that genetically speaking, two people of differing “races” can have more in common than two people of the same colour. You sound like some old, racist grandparent. Oh, and how exactly does eye colour on its own make someone good looking?
Anyway, as for the cosplayer; I would and that’s all that matters.
No , but there are entire Aran ISLANDS in the west of Ireland. And of course, those itchy yet amazingly warm Aran Sweaters made in the ilands of ARAN, Ireland.
But really, who cares if she is of Irish decent, it looks like she MIGHT be, that is for sure.
I would rather focus on the attractive REAL girl in the photos, to be honest and stop worring about a videogame character.
seriously there was a whole bunch of b.s. posted early and i want to distance myself from that stuff, but i do agree with anyone who thinks this chick is not that hot for no other reason than she’s not. my standards are high and she doesn’t meet them. my wife blows her out of the water and if i can get a hold of a cool nintendo costume i’ll prove it.
“Seamus is a man’s name. Also, there is nothing in the Metroid canon that specifies anything about the origins of Samus or her parents.”
O RLY? Absolutely nothing in the Metroid canon?
Don’t make me laugh, smartass. Just another hopeless fool who hasn’t read the Nintendo-commissioned Metroid manga that ran on Nintendo.com and the Japanese official Metroid site:

Either way… I like her cosplaying. =D

So…hot…
(and I’m not talking about the weather here…)
August 16th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Yeah, no wonder I recognized her; she did a great Varia Suit cosplay.
August 16th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Looks good. But in order for it to be accurate, her chest needs to be a little obscenely larger.

Kids, she’s swedish. Her name is 100% swedish.
Hair has a bad dye job? It’s the exact same color as the “real” samus.

I totally agree with tose guys out there that said her cheast need to be larger! She’s pretty graphic for a Nintendo cartoon character… huh?
August 16th, 2008 at 10:07 pm
This may be the best cosplay I’ve ever seen.
But… is that a PlayStation logo from a modified Guncon on the side?
August 16th, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Wow, very nice costume, and perfect face and hair. Best cosplay I’ve ever seen.
August 17th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Ok Ok…so yeah, maybe her boobs need to be bigger and samus is a white chick. but really guys…I wouldn’t kick her out of bed. are you with me?

However, Seamus is STILL a man’s name. Smartass.

if you made a pick where one guy where pointing a gun at her and another where tieng her with a rope it would be so hot
