Street Fighter’s own Chun-Li and Cammy are not only two of the most popular characters in fighting games, they are video game icons. While Chun-Li certainly paved the way for her Street Fighter 2 comrade and the fighting females that followed, both world warriors are immensely popular and highly recognizable.
When it comes to cosplay, these two Street Fighter contenders are among the most frequently portrayed, but with designs and cosplay work as good as MELMO‘s, it’s pretty hard to get tired of seeing new depictions of them.
To kick things off (pun intended), let’s take a look at MELMO’s amazing Chun-Li cosplay. The inspiration for this look is taken from the powerful fighter’s design from back in the Street Fighter Alpha days, as opposed to her classic Street Fighter 2 look.
The first game in the Street Fighter Alpha series was released back on June 5, 1995. With this new (at the time) generation of Street Fighter, Chun-Li saw her updated look make its debut.
In the Alpha games, Chun-Li rocks a blue and yellow tracksuit with sneakers. We see her two hair buns return, only this time they’re held together with yellow ribbons.
MELMO’s Alpha Chun-Li gets everything right. The details in the costume, the hairdo, and the attitude all shine brightly here, and this cosplayer even goes the extra mile by hitting some of Alpha Chun-Li’s poses from various artwork to really make the work come alive.
This Chun-Li cosplay looks incredible, and MELMO looks stunning with this getup as well.
Though the majority of the cosplay we have here is of Chun-Li, MELMO also put together a depiction of Cammy. We see a battle-ready version of Cammy here, and this cosplayer even strikes Cammy’s most iconic win pose making for a top notch Cammy cosplay.
While Cammy wasn’t a part of the initial eight world warriors in Street Fighter 2, she would go on to join the fight in Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers which launched on September 10, 1993. Cammy joined the roster alongside T. Hawk, Dee Jay, and Fei Long.

MELMO’s cosplay work extends beyond Street Fighter, though. We also see an excellent portrayal of Honoka from the Dead or Alive series, which you can check out below.

Outside of fighting games, MELMO has cosplayed as Ulti from One Piece, Nobara Kugisaki from Jujutsu Kaisen, and many others. Be sure to head over to MELMO’s Twitter for more amazing cosplay.
