Cammy Can Pull Packages Out Of Her Butt
Not sure how this would be categorized.

Atomic wedgie? I guess if you had a package in your butt, it would be the ultimate wedgie.
I suppose since Cammy wears her costume internally, that’s where she stores things >_o
While one would have figured that it was not really necessary to ask cosplayers about whether or not Cammy had room to carry packages on her person – apparently Capcom could probably have learned something.
The bright side is that at least Chun Li’s expression was appropriate in every way:

So, Street Fighter 5′s beta was found to have some additional costumes in it – with no official word from Capcom on whether they’re be available or not in the game. Since they’re not even confirmed for the official game, it’s hard to tell whether they’ll be alternative costumes, unlockable rewards or scrapped before final release.
What is clear is that whoever designed Laura’s alternative outfit did so with no regard for how her body works.
There’s also (less contraversially) a police uniform (with pants!) for Chun Li (as well as a glued on version of her black dress).
(A giftset of her in action is available here)
An alternative outfit for Rainbow Mika, and I honestly have no idea what they were hoping to accomplish here (but Zangief got one as well):
And an “Officer Cammy” outfit that looks practical in front..
But of course she forgot her pants:
Since these aren’t officially released by Capcom yet, but discovered through reverse-engineering the beta, so information is very limited. However since the models are all polished and finished, it seems clear that at some point someone thought these were a great idea at least up until the saw the final product.

“Battle Costume Cammy”
nora-bright submitted:
Preorder bonus outfit for Cammy called “Battle Costume Cammy.”
According them this her being “Decked out in mission gear, Cammy is ready to complete her next objective!”
I gotta ask, what kind of battle, mission and objective are they expecting her to do in that without feeling a constant wedgie? Like seriously, that must be digging into her crotch no matter what she does.
I can already hear the furious hammering of keys as people rush to tell us that we should know Cammy has always been a heavily sexualized since she was introduced twenty-two years ago. Being particularly famous for this:
Briefly however, let’s discuss how here original ridiculous outfit from 1993 (when people thought Rob Liefeld was a genius) has gotten even more ridiculous both in the pre-order and the standard:
That’s right, her costume now has the crotch section trimmed down, comes with extra straps to draw more attention to her boobs and has vacuum sealing around the navel.
I am genuinely perplexed how someone could even begin to think that such a thing would be bareable to wear standing still, let alone jumping around in full contact tournament fighting.

Congratulations Capcom! Now instead of having 1 out of 3 women in your video game have a decent transition with all of her design choices, you have… none! Give ‘em a round of applause everyone.
Anyway, the new costume for Chun Li is a downgrade from it’s last appearance, if you couldn’t tell. I’ll go over the specific changes:
First and foremost, her hair is noticeably different, trading in buns for small pigtails in the front on long hair in the back. The cloth around her neck seems to be smaller, or at least it’s positioned that much more shoulder is being shown. The thong cloth whatever is noticeably thinner, and no longer is positioned to go over some of her thighs (now just being between her thighs). The metal designs on the ends of them either aren’t there and have been changed to cloth patterns, or the angle the new costume is in simply shows them poorly. Her shoes are a different color (though I actually really like that change the pink on the original is pretty stupid). The spiked bracelet has inverted colors, nothing really wrong with that. Her red braid on her stomach is clearly just a designed little charm now, as they also removed the bun hair with the other red braids on them to go with the old stomach ones. They added gold swirl designs which draw attention to her breasts from where they were put.
I don’t know if it’s the physics engine screwing up, but the fact that the thong is just so smashed between her thighs and not covering much at all makes it really strange to look at.
And don’t get me started on the Cammy one!
What I find most amazing about this is that these are pre-order costumes and they’re basically trying to re-invent history while trying to convince fans to buy the game before it’s released.
“Wearing one of her signature black dresses, Chun-Li always fights in style!”
What? Since when? Her “signature” black dress only got introduced in Streetfighter IV and went pretty much ignored (except by modders who wanted to make it look better). Seriously, was there something about her that suggested she went in for cocktail dresses and fighting with her boobs hanging out to someone? Her primary likes were always sweets and stopping crime, and her demeanor…
Look Capcom, I know the fighting game market has gotten tough since the 90s and that it’s getting even tougher with the rise of Indie games… but I’m going to give you some advice. Less taking your leads off your competitors like Soul Calibur (who are also struggling) and more taking leads of people like Killer Instinct.
And give us back our fierce, driven and yet adorkable crime fighting Chun Li! She’s a lot more fun and interesting than… whatever you’re trying to make her into.
