We recently took notice of MaidOfMight cosplaying as Cammy White from the Street Fighter series. Needless to say, she takes on a number of daring poses throughout the cosplay gallery that she’s posted on her Instagram.
Cammy made her debut video game appearance in Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers alongside Fei Long, Dee Jay, and T. Hawk at the arcades in October 1993. Of the “new challengers” introduced in this game, Cammy has seemingly become the most popular as she’s the only one that’s been playable all throughout Street Fighter 4, Street Fighter 5, and Street Fighter 6.
MaidOfMight appears to be portraying Cammy as she specifically appears in Street Fighter 5. As a result, no camouflage paint has been smeared on Cammy’s legs.
Additionally, it can be observed that Cammy’s green thong leotard has a harness around it. A gun holster is also wrapped around Cammy’s right thigh, though it should be noted that Cammy is purely a close-combat specialist character in the Street Fighter series as she doesn’t actually utilize projectiles in her moveset.
It’s interesting to note that Cammy’s Street Fighter 5 look is based on an earlier draft conceived during Street Fighter 2’s development. Eventually, the elements of this early draft (the harness and gun holster) would be incorporated into Cammy’s Street Fighter 5 default appearance and her Outfit 2 in Street Fighter 6 (with the camouflage markings also left intact).
In one of her photos where she’s cosplaying as Cammy, MaidOfMight makes mention of one of Cammy’s more interesting quotes. At times, Cammy tended to say this to opponents after achieving victory against other players in Street Fighter 4.
“How does it feel getting beaten up by a pretty little girl like me?” Indeed, Cammy seemed to mock her opponent with this question considering that she’s one of the more petite characters in the Street Fighter series.
Despite being smaller than most of the Street Fighter cast, Cammy, funnily enough, tends to dish out above average damage in most of the games that she’s appeared in. This, along with her incredible mobility and frame data, often leads to Cammy being a top tier candidate in a lot of Street Fighter games.
However, it should be noted that Cammy was generally considered to be one of the worst characters throughout iterations of Street Fighter 2 after she first appeared. In other words, Cammy became a popular character despite how poorly she initially performed against the rest of the characters.
As such, Cammy is often a favored target among cosplayers. Of course, it takes some serious confidence to be willing to don the green thong leotard in the first place.
