This combo requires Chun-Li to be quite close to the opponent, and generally she is only able to chain two lights together before cancelling into {{clr|HK|22HK}}, otherwise the Tensho Kicks will whiff. Chun-Li can only chain three lights together when she is next to the opponent and the lights consist of at least two {{clr|L|5LP}}s and at most one {{clr|L|2LP}}. {{clr|L|2LK}} cannot be used, as it pushes the opponent too far. With a drive rush starter, Chun-Li can mostly always chain three lights together and still be in range for {{clr|H|22HK}}. |

| | | content = Pressuring with crouching normals has the strong benefit of naturally building charge for Spinning Bird Kick. If [2] is held throughout the entire light chain, it becomes very easy to do the SBK on a confirm, as the player can simply press 8LK on the second light if any of the previous ones connected. The opponent is generally pushed back too far away after two lights, so Chun-Li will have to combo into {{clr|L|[2]8LK}} after two lights, unless she starts off the light string with drive rush, which grants her some momentum to reach with a third light (e.g. {{clr|4|PDR}} {{clr|L|2LK}} > {{clr|L|2LK}} > {{clr|L|2LP}} > {{clr|L|[2]8LK}}). |

| Alternatively, Chun-Li can also chain her first light into {{clr|L|5LP}}, then link into {{clr|L|5LK}} to be able to cancel and combo into {{clr|M|236MK}} for a little bit more damage. Although she is still +3 on hit, it is sometimes more consistent than {{clr|L|LK}} legs as it moves her forward more.

On punish counter, {{clr|H|236HK}} combos from {{clr|M|2MK}} and {{clr|M|4/6MP}}, unless at max range.

| | | content = This is Chun-Li's preferred ender due to the corner carry and meterless knockdown. The downside is Chun-Li has to maintain charge in order to combo into this, and regular SBK is not super cancellable, which is not ideal in situations where Chun-Li needs extra damage to close out rounds. Which version of SBK to use solely depends on the button strength Chun-Li wants to combo from. {{clr|L|LK}} SBK can combo'd into from any cancellable button, but gives Chun-Li the least damage and corner carry. {{clr|M|MK}} SBK can be combo'd into from all medium and heavy buttons. {{clr|H|HK}} SBK can be combo'd into from a number of medium buttons ({{clr|M|2MP}}, {{clr|M|ss.MK}}) and all heavy buttons. |

Close range combo ender that doubles as a combo extender when the opponent is Poisoned. Without Poison, {{clr|H|236HP}} gives AKI a safejump, meaty Nightshade midscreen (due to spacing), or plus MK/HK Snake Step. With Poison, it allows AKI to follow up anywhere with a {{clr|5|{{clr|4|DR}}}} {{clr|M|2MP}} juggle > {{clr|H|236HP}} to setup yet another safejump. With corner and poison AKI can route into a {{clr|H|214HP}} juggle, enabling the next ender. | | | content = OD SBK is cancelled into when Chun-Li wants to extend her combo further in exchange for 2 drive gauge bars.

| | content = AKI's best combo ender, as it opens her up to a wide variety of setups and combos when the opponent is Poisoned. However, it is not easy to combo into this, as she can only route into it safely in specific situations (e.g. punish counters, {{clr|H|236HP}}!). If juggled into, Toxic Blossom 2PP~P gives her a shocking ''+84 KDA'' to work with. Listed here is a safe Orchid Spring and plus Nightshade Pulse setup, but she can also link any of her supers or really go for any kind of setup. This is surprisingly easy to set up in the corner and can be done with as little as 1 bar of Drive.
| | | content = HK Tensho Kicks is another way for Chun-Li to gain access to a knockdown without spending meter. Any special cancellable button can combo into HK Tensho Kicks. However, the downside is that HK Tensho Kicks lacks a horizontal hitbox, and cannot really be used in the same way other characters can use their H DPs. This option is best used when the player is certain that Chun-Li is close enough for the hitbox to connect, otherwise, it might be best to avoid using it entirely. |
