Street Fighter II/Chun-Li

Click here for more information about Chun-Li's other fighting game appearances.

Chun-Li's name is Mandarin; chun 春 "spring", lì 麗 "beautiful", which means she is a young girl filled with the beauty of spring. She is the first female playable character to appear in a mainstream fighting game. Introduced in Street Fighter II, Chun-Li was the only female character in the game, and while not as physically powerful as the other characters, she was by far the quickest. Her most famous attack is the Hyakuretsukyaku (Hundred Rending Leg, commonly known as the Lightning Kick), where she repeatedly kicks her opponent from a tilted standing position with incredible speed.

Chun-Li is one of the earliest female video game protagonists to achieve widespread popularity. Prior to Street Fighter II being released in 1991, most female characters in games existed as objectives to be rescued or cast in the roles of other supporting characters, such as townspeople, girlfriends, the occasional opponent, or simply background decoration; as such, there were very few heroines in action-based video games. After the success of Street Fighter II and Chun-Li's popularity, female protagonists became increasingly common. Since then, in games with selectable characters, at least one of them will almost always be female; and a number of games released since that have placed a female character in the lead role.

Background
Chun-Li was an Interpol investigator who had been searching for clues to the recent death of her father. During a friendly spar with an old teacher of hers and friend of her father, Gen, she received a clue as to who may have been behind her father's death—the mysterious crime syndicate Shadoloo. Chun-Li tracked down the syndicate's leader, M. Bison, and demanded that he tell her what happened to her father. Bison attacked and defeated her, then flew away laughing, telling her that if she attacked him again he would kill her just like he did her father. With tears in her eyes, Chun-Li swore vengeance.

After the events depicted in the Street Fighter Alpha series, Chun-Li received an invitation to the second World Warrior tournament, and discovered that Bison had apparently survived his Thailand base's destruction. With this, she had the clear motive of destroying Shadoloo and avenging her father once again. The outcome of this tournament is not clear, but there are strong hints that Chun-Li earned the right to face Bison and possibly won the tournament, though Guile has also been suspected to have been the victor. There has been no definitive answer as of yet, although regardless of the outcome, Bison himself finally falls at the hands of Ryu's nemesis, Akuma.

HD Remix Alterations
Control Motion Changes Buffs Nerfs
 * Super input window is larger and is a fixed size, rather than random size.
 * Aerial spinning bird kick can be done with, so that you can do it after a Yousou Kyaku, like in Hyper Fighting.
 * Removed Kouhou Kaiten Kyaku move (it only ever got in the way, so removing it helps her).
 * Ground Spinning Bird Kick has a new parabolic arc. It can also air-juggle and deals a fair amount of dizzy.
 * Aerial Spinning Bird Kick travels more straight now, then falls in an arc at the end
 * Hyakuretsu Kyaku easier to execute (now requires 3 presses of a given kick button rather than 5 presses)
 * Kaku Kyaku Raku no longer crosses up, removing the loop of repeated knockdowns against some characters.
 * Hyakuretsu Kyaku does less damage and have barely worse priority in Chun Li's stomach area.
 * Chun-Li's super Senretsukayku can still be stored, but deals much less damage, and follow up with upkicks can get only one extra hit on some characters and usually misses against others.
