The cosplay scene within the fighting game community is underrated for the amount of work they put into the craft, and that’s part of the reason we enjoy highlighting them so much.
We recently highlighted the great Louxxei for the best Elena cosplay that we’ve ever seen, and it turns out that’s not the only Street Fighter girl she’s done, considering she’s pulled off quite the sexy Sakura too.
Instead of going for the rare lady Shoto’s newer design from Street Fighter 5, Louxxei keeps it classic with Sakura’s iconic school uniform.
The outfit seems pretty darn accurate to her Street Fighter Alpha days with the headband, sorta messy hair, sailor uniform and red sneakers except she also appears to have cut down on the materials.
Woah!! Thank you for all the love
Here’s some more Sakura!! #streetfighter #streetfightercosplay pic.twitter.com/ZEo6IpMsNx— crystal (@louxxei) December 2, 2023
Louxxei’s skirt and especially her shirt are cut noticeably shorter showing off more of her red sports bra / undershirt and well-toned midriff.
She definitely captures much of that cute Sakura energy with her poses and energetic dance while also giving the cosplay a more sexy edge to it.

If Sakura does eventually end up showing back up in Street Fighter 6 in future seasons, she presumably won’t look like this outside of a nostalgia costume, but we’d certainly enjoy seeing Louxxei take on that new version of the Street Fighter icon too.
Also, I’m pretty sure I own that exact pair of MMA gloves, which I used for my own Akihiko cosplay from Persona 4 Arena years back, so that’s a bit funny for me.
There’s plenty more great video game and anime related cosplay to be found on Louxxei’s X/Twitter and Instagram pages as well as the rest of her social accounts.
