...and, I'm picking up some pairs from them.

[3] representative from Nanjing "Sakura Taisen" They sang and danced. They sang a song by Japanese, and I was so surprised because they were pretty good at Japanese!
[5] representative from Beijing "The King of Fighters" They were girl's pair, and their action of Mai Shiranui and Chun Li was so cool and sexy.
[6] representative from Nanning "Tekken" They made the contest very hot with their wonderful action.
[7] representative from Shanghai "The Super Dimension Fortress Macross" I saw the moment of the changing time from regular cosplay to a bigger form, though they seemed to busy to keep time of the stage.
[8] representative from Nanjing "RG Veda" When I saw their performance with ribbon, they made me imagine the last year's Chinese representatives. That performance was very glamorous.

The final representative was...

Shi Jian Xiong and Zeng Zhaoyun's team was chosen for the representative! They just began cosplay one year ago, but they performed greatly strong action with "Dynasty Warriors". The event became very excited and hot with their power.
We expect them to show their hot performance at the finals!
