Anime Human Chess Match - Allen Schezar vs Vega

From METROCON 2008's Anime Human Chess Match.

This fight puts Allen Schezar (character from The Vision of Escaflowne) on the other side of Vega's (character from Street Fighter) claw.

As odd as it may sound, one thing that people tend to forget when they see this show - because it is so engaging - is that it is live; so no cuts (editing cuts, that is), no multiple takes, and all the effects have to be done in real time. This fight shows off that last point very well. (You'll know it when you see it).

WOW! That's probably one of the best cosplay performances I've seen! I'm guessing that these guys must be professional actors though, right?

Actually, some of them have extensive backgrounds in either stage combat or martial arts while there were some members of this cast who had never done this sort of thing before.
