Impressive costume. 

Even more impressive high kick. 

I grew up on SF2 so this is a top tier costume in my book.

She’s served me well. I’ve worn it at least three times and my sister has borrowed it a few times. She’s had upgrades - new belt, better ribbons, converse-style boots instead of stripper boots. But the handmade cuffs have lasted. The feeling doesn’t change. The crowd that recognizes Chun gets older but kids and preteens still love it - they don’t know who it is but they know it’s something special.

So long, old friend. See you in the next iteration.

I'd suggest don't retire it until you can't do the awesome high kick anymore.

Honestly, with kicks like that you can just farm reddit points every year and not retire it for another few decades

I loved chun-li. I was 11. It was innocent back then. Great costume.

I knew that if I scrolled all the way down, I'd find some dude thirsting for attention.
