What do you do when you want to attend a video game tournament, but are too famous?
Cosplay, obviously.
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis and her family dressed up as characters from Street Fighter and Tekken, so she and her son could attend Evolution Championship Series (EVO), the world's largest fighting-game tournament held annually in Las Vegas, this weekend. Curtis chose masked fighter Vega -- the perfect way to stay incognito.
She only revealed her presence later on Twitter:

Curtis has declared her love for Street Fighter in the past, saying she picked it up because of her son. In the following interview from January (around the two-minute mark), the actress says she plans to take him to EVO as a graduation present:
Curtis adds that her favorite character is tough military chick Cammy, who appears in the upcoming Street Fighter V game.
Based on Curtis' tweets, it's clear she enjoyed her time at EVO:
@gh0stsNc_nts YOU are the hottest thing @evo2k Tried @StreetFighter V as Cammy & lost. Son schooled his mama. You were sweet & have spirit!— Jamie Lee Curtis (@jamieleecurtis) July 18, 2015
