Cammy White made her debut video game appearance in Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers when it was released into the arcades back on September 10, 1993 and September 11, 1993 in Japan and North America respectively. The game wouldn’t be released on consoles over a year later until June 25, 1994 and July 18, 1994.
Of course it should be mentioned that Cammy wasn’t the only newcomer that appeared in Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers as she was joined by T. Hawk, Dee Jay, and Fei Long. However, it would appear that Cammy was the most popular out of these four as she’s the only one to appear as part of the base games for all of Street Fighter 4, Street Fighter 5, and Street Fighter 6.
Though Cammy began as a low tier character competitively throughout Street Fighter 2’s lifespan, she’s traditionally been a top tier fighter in most of her appearances in the mainline Street Fighter series. This is likely due to her impressive speed, mobility, frame data, and damage output.
As it turns out, Cammy might have her attire to thank for that. It’s said that Cammy chooses to wear a green thong leotard due to the optimal speed, mobility, and flexibility that it allows. Of course, it should be noted that Cammy has mostly retained her speedy attributes in Street Fighter 6 despite having a complete wardrobe change in that game.
Regardless, Cammy’s iconic Delta Red appearance tends to be her most popular among spectators. It’s really no wonder why Cammy tends to be a favorite among cosplayers bold enough to portray her.
We recently took notice of Nataliafadeev’s Cammy cosplay. Evidently, she’s portraying Cammy as she specifically appears in Street Fighter 5.
Unlike the Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter 4 versions of Cammy, there is no camouflage paint that can be found on Cammy’s legs in Street Fighter 5. Of course, it should be noted that the camouflage paint also appears on Cammy’s legs in her alternate costume in Street Fighter 6.
Additionally, Cammy has multiple gun holsters wrapped around her leotard and right thigh in Street Fighter 5. Despite Cammy’s experience as a special agent of Delta Red, she’s always seen fighting hand-to-hand rather than using firearms, so the holsters are purely just aesthetic.

It would also appear that Nataliafadeev has cosplayed as Zero Suit Samus in her skintight jumpsuit. However, Nataliafadeev has retained Power Suit Samus’ arm cannon in this version of the costume.
Though this version of Zero Suit Samus doesn’t appear to have her Paralyzer with her, she does have the Jet Boots with her. Notably, these Jet Boots were designed for Zero Suit Samus specifically for the Super Smash Bros. series.
When Zero Suit Samus first made her playable video game debut on February 9, 2004 in North America, she was relegated to playing stealthily as she was too weak to defeat most enemies without access to her Power Suit. Funnily enough, however, Zero Suit Samus has traditionally been a stronger character than Power Suit Samus throughout entries of the Super Smash Bros. series in which both fighters appear in.
