One week ago we kicked off our Soulcalibur IV character creation contest, and boy oh boy did you guys deliver. We received tons of amazing and accurate portrayals of some of the most recognizable faces in the entertainment world. Superheroes, movie stars, game legends, you name it, we had it, including some incredibly unique "interpretations" of classic characters. What inspired such creativity? Why, these slick devils here:

Two arcade sticks, one PS3 and one 360, went to the best of the best. We've collected our favorites from the lengthy thread and posted them here for your perusal; the winners are announced in this week's TalkRadar podcast, found here or on iTunes. Just look for TalkRadar 13 and see if you won (we open the third act with the winners).

Now, on to our favorites!
