Would you like to help destroy the myth that bikini armor can somehow be justified with the explanation that it’s necessary for agility because plate armor is too bulky to move in?
Of course you would!
Daniel Jaquet, creator of two videos (1, 2) we’ve featured, among other examples, plans to make a video demonstrating how it is possible to run a modern day military obstacle course in a full harness set.

So, Mai Shiranui is the latest crossover character in the latest Dead or Alive game, continuing their trend of amazing double standards in character design.
I think the fact that the trailer’s only priorities are to reassure us Mia doesn’t wear anything close to conventional panties and jiggle physics (did I mention that Team Ninja also try to maximize upskirt physics?)
They also released a trailer for new bunch of costumes and a stage crossing over with Attack on Titan – so naturally they need to assure their intended audience that the otherwise sensible costumes will be destroyable. So that’s going to be thing that we’re going to have in this reality.
Oh, and for those who worrying we’re demanding compromises on an artist’s important vision and forcing censorship,
Tomonobu Itagaki doesn’t like this either and thinks it’s ruining the series that he started:
“Thank you everyone. I’m so glad to hear your voices. Please support our DOA together. I have to say. DOA can’t survive with money earned by continuously selling too much sexual DLCs. DOA can live with respects from all of the DOA fans. So, please make them aware of what they have to do for the future of DOA.”

Can you move in armour? An Experiment in Mythbusting
On the topic of robust plate armor and the kinds of activity one might do in it, Medievalist recently did an in depth article discussing mobility in plate armor and the sorts of training those who wore it did in order to ensure they could fight effectively.
Whenever someone cites bikini armor as being “for mobility” it’s important to remember that this idea is from 70s pulp, specifically RPGs that needed to give a reason why someone would wear less robust armor and comics that wanted to show off sexy ladies as often as possible.
It has literally no basis in reality and was never employed by any serious warriors anywhere… well at least none that survived a battle.
Thank you to those who brought this article and video to our attention!

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:
