12 Cosplays of Christmas 2014 - 9 Sabers A-Swiping (Strider Hiryu *Strider/Vs. Capcom series*)

Day 9! ^^ Three more recipes left! Today is a little choppy and dicey because it's Strider Hiryu from, well... "Strider" and the "vs. Capcom" series!

Here's his Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 design! ^^ Many thanks to the Marvel vs. Capcom Wiki for letting me use this!

 

Here's an alternate design of him! ^^ Many thanks to the Capcom Database Wiki for letting me use this!

 

A closeup for his kanji. ^^ Again, many thanks to the Capcom Database Wiki for letting me use this!

 

If you have asthma or tend to have shortness of breath, this is NOT for you! Anyway, here's what you need to assemble him:

• An old gi (karate outfit)
• Purple or blue clothing dye
• A long, wide red scarf
• Red fabric paint
• A roll of bandages
• Purple or blue boots
• A white belt
• Duct tape in silver
• Scissors
• Red ribbon

How to assemble him:

1. Make the dye and dip the gi in it. Leave it in the dye and take it out if you get the desired shade on it. Hang it up to dry once you're done.
2. After the gi is completely dry, have somebody paint the kanji on it and leave it to dry more.
3. Put on the boots and the gi and have somebody cut the sleeves off. Wrap the scarf around your mouth and nose, but loosely so you can bring it down.
4. Wrap the red ribbon around your waist, cut the desired length and tie the ends closed.
5. Now for the bandages! Wrap the bandages around your wrists and where the pants of your gi and the boots meet.
6. Wrap the white belt with duct tape, punch out the belt holes using the scissors (Be careful!), put it on and now you're done!

Hope you enjoyed! ^^
