This is the best Elena cosplay we have ever seen

Louxxei brings the character from Street Fighter into real life

Sure, there may be a few photography and Photoshop tricks involved (which usually happens with cosplay) but even so, this is the most realistic imitation of Elena we've seen yet.

Elena was first introduced again in Street Fighter 3: New Generation as a fighter with longer limbs and a cheerful personality. She made a follow-up appearance in Ultra Street Fighter 4 nearly two decades later, where she was considered one of the most frustrating characters to encounter.

This was thanks to her unconventional chest combined with her unique ability to heal parts of her health bar.

In fact, this character has quickly become one of the most interesting salt opponents to be seen in the final days of USF4, but it seems like enough time has passed now that we can appreciate her high-level cosplay without too many creepy flashbacks arising.

Hence, we're sharing a collection of adorable cosplay photos of Louxxie perfectly nailing her look and bringing the real word version of the character to life.

The first Instagram photo included below was the one that initially tricked our eyes, but be sure to click on the arrows to scroll through and see the four additional photos in the post.

Here Louxxie shares some quick selfies from her Twitter page:
