Kotaku 'Shop Contest_ Cloud-Based Gaming_ Winners!

The announcement ofFinal Fantasy VII’s Cloud for Super Smash Bros.got us thinking about which other games he could be in, which led to a Photoshop contest, which led to hilarity. Our image manipulating readers sure make judging contests like this difficult, especially when the people entering know my penchant for animated Persona dancing GIFs. In the end I was able to put my persona(l) bias aside and pick the winner I think best meshes the character’s distinctive qualities with the game in question. The huc99 MASSIVE sword. The limit gauge, the obscured vision—billysan wins the battle robotic hands down. Of course that’s not saying there weren’t other amazing entries.
