Introduction

Chun-Li is a martial arts fighter that debuted in Street Fighter II: World Warriors, and has since gained worldwide popularity (and notoriety) as one of gaming's most popular female characters. A character who Capcom graciously gives top tier privilege in several games she's appeared in, SVC is no different. Bosses or no bosses, Chun-Li is a top tier who has everything she needs to handle anything thrown at her with few flaws to her.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Easy to learn: Some points can be on the harder side to learn, like linking a combo after SBK or comboing her lights without doing her tap K special, but for the most part, Chun-Li is very pick up and play. She takes little time to learn. Strong movement: Chun-Li's fast walk, dash and high jumps, even one of her command normals, gives Chun-Li better overall movement that other characters lack. Cross-up command grab into full combos: In a sense taking a page from Iori, Chun-Li gets an exclusive command grab in SVC Chaos. It deals zero damage but is fast and gives Chun-Li free combos to follow-up on. You may need to dash up to do the combo but sometimes she doesn't even have to reposition herself. Since Chun-Li swaps sides with the opponent and appears behind them, this even means her follow-up combos are backhit combos, too. Just keep in mind some combos change, as a result. Spinning Bird Kick can now crossup and start combos: Chun-Li's SBK has really good reach. What makes it really shine in SVC is the fact it can cross opponents up but more importantly, allows Chun-Li to both start and extend combos with it to further her damage. This is especially helpful if she can get a hit confirm from farther away, thus mitigating spacing issues a little. 100% Corner Max Mode combo: In case you need to meter dump, Chun-Li's Exceed lets her take a round in the corner with max mode. Max Mode is a great boon but is not needed: Chun-Li's normals are more than enough to work with and her regular BnBs are rewarding on their own. Having access to max mode unlocks higher overall damage and more supers to use, benefitting her a lot. That said, playing without it is no serious detriment to her either. Can do just about anything well: The only thing Chun-Li lacks is good fireballs or zoning, but beyond that, she can play offense and defense well, and has great neutral. Strong buttons, useful specials with various utility, strong supers, good movement, plays both footsies and the air game well, Chun-Li is an all-around strong character. While she has her downsides, most of them are minor even when accounting for bosses.

Low health: Chun-Li is squishy so mistakes end up being costly, even if only slightly because of her 230 defense modifier, instead of having the average 223 defense modifier. SNK staying true to SF2's design philosophy. Meter hungry: Chun-Li's supers are strong in their own right, but in general her best damage is also locked behind them or max mode in the event you have access to it. Her regular BnBs do good damage but don't compare as much to her super combos. Weak anti-airs: Her DP kick attacks more vertically than it does horizontally but doesn't cover much space either and has divided up active hitboxes. Her other choices for anti-airs are otherwise iffy normals that don't cover much space. No reliable reversals, either, despite DP K looking like one. SBK whiffs against some crouching and small hitbox characters: By itself this just means Chun-Li has one less special move she can reliably use. However, what makes this a major downside is that depending on the matchup, that's less overall damage she can do because of the important of SBK in her combos. In the event you forget one of those matchups, it can turn into a full combo punish. Spacing-dependent combos: Particularly because of her DP and against some matchups like Demitri, Chun-Li may either need to change her combos to get results or omit some combos entirely. Her DP having horizontal range issues and requiring being close in order to combo is one such example, or Demitri requiring SBK to cross-up or else the rest of the combo drops. Exceed is easy to punish: While a strong exceed, it ends with Chun-Li falling from the sky after doing an extended DP kick, not only giving the opponent plenty of time to reposition themselves but also time to ready for the punish once she lands.

SVC Chaos: SNK VS Capcom Frame Data Glossary
Damage	How much damage the attack does. This takes into account no defense modifiers, so the damage assumes a 0% damage modifier, or in other words the average defense modifier of 223 against characters like Kyo and Ryu. Note: Damage is a little inconsistent. Example: Geese cl.A deals 5 damage. Against Zero, sometimes it does 5 pixels of damage to his life bar, other times it does 4 pixels. Against Ryu, cl.A does 4 pixels of damage, other times it does 3 pixels of damage. This info comes from the Enterbrain Mook, but most likely this is the cause of damage modifiers skewing the damage slightly, thus making it a bit inconsistent. Damage values listed are pulled from the SVC Chaos Enterbrain Mook, save Athena, Red Arremer, Serious Mr. Karate and Shin Akuma. It is listed because it's an official source for this info, just keep in mind damage is not 1-to-1 due to varying health values and screwy ways the game calculates damage anyways. There will be a question mark next to the four mentioned characters because it's only a guess as to what the actual damage values are (until health and damage are better understood), since they were never gathered in the Mook. Unfortunately, when doing attacks, the numbers dealt in damage do not match up with the mook. As an example, Geese's cl.C does 16 damage according to the mook, but against characters like Zero, it only does 14-15 damage, and very rarely it does 16 damage. Against Ryu, it does 12-13 damage at most. But against Orochi Iori, it also does 14-15 damage, and very rarely it does 16 damage. The mook does not explain how the numbers are obtained either, or against who they're tested against, if anyone. In other words, how these numbers were obtained if not through data mining is a mystery in itself, but it can be best assumed it was against 255 defense modifier characters, and at the max damage possible. Lastly, moves like Geese cl.D, though it says 10x2 for the damage, which is true, damage scaling reduces total damage on the second hit. Max Mode also reduces damage dealt by roughly half at most.
Counter Damage	How much damage the attack does on a counter hit, or when it connects with an opponent while they're performing an attack. Counter damage values listed are pulled from the SVC Chaos Enterbrain Mook, save Athena, Red Arremer, Serious Mr. Karate and Shin Akuma.
Guard	Where the attack hits, and thus where it must be blocked. Mids can be blocked standing and crouching Overheads must be blocked standing Lows must be blocked crouching Unblockable cannot be blocked Throws break through block up-close
Guard Crush	How much guard meter damage the attack does to the green Guard Gauge.
Stun	How many points of stun the attack adds to the opponent's invisible Stun Gauge.
Meter	How much meter is gained for performing/landing the attack. Special moves earn meter both when activated and when they connect with the opponent, whether it hits them or they block it.
Cancel	The type of cancel the attack can perform. Any - All cancel types work Ch - Chain cancel; it can chain into other attacks (mostly just lights) Self - Can chain only into itself Cmd - Command cancel; can cancel into command normals Sp - Special cancel; can cancel into special moves, and almost always this means super cancels are possible too Su - Super cancel; can cancel into super moves Free - Free cancel; can be cancelled in Max Mode by other special moves or super moves Written only for special moves as all normals can be Free Cancelled, so writing it in for every move would be redundant X - Cannot be cancelled, either outside of Max Mode or that it cannot be cancelled at all
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. The SVC Chaos wiki uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4. Super and Exceed startup will calculate both the frames before and after the super flash animation as such: X+Y, with X being the startup frames before the flash animation and Y being the startup frames after the flash animation. The startup will not take into account the frames of the flash animation itself where time freezes and the opponent player cannot act. Super flashes last 28 frames, whereas Exceed flashes last 27 frames. Because there is currently no way to view throw boxes, it is assumed that throws/command grabs are at most 0-1 frames of startup. Truthfully, we don't actually know though.
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by a comma. (Example: 3, 4 - The attack has its first hitbox for 3 frames, then the second hitbox for 4 frames) If there is a gap between sets of active frames, the gap is denoted by a number in parentheses. (Example: 3, (2), 4 - The attack is active for 3 frames, then is not active for the next two frames, followed by being active again for 4 frames.) Throw boxes are not visible either through dipswitches or the hitbox viewer so it's only a guess how active throws and command grabs are, but it's probably one active frame at most. This also applies to hitbox images - they will still show the push and hurtboxes of characters but outside of that, unfortunately there is no way to depict the throw boxes at the moment.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Total	The total number of frames the attack lasts on screen for. This adds up the startup, active, and recovery frames into one number.
Hit/Block Adv	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. SKD refers to a soft knockdown, or a knockdown you can tech roll out of. HKD refers to a hard knockdown, one that you cannot tech roll out of. All frame advantages assume Ryu as the opponent. If there are variable wakeup times, it is currently unknown info. Also assume that on soft knockdowns, the frame advantage is when the opponent does not tech roll. If needed, a second frame advantage will be added next to it for when they do tech roll. Frame advantages of projectiles assumes the opponent is point blank range. Any farther and this obviously changes and/or doesn't matter. Block advantage assumes no use of Guard Cancel Front Step. For one, it obviously decreases the attacker's frame advantage significantly. When the defender uses GCFS is also a variable factor so you cannot provide a hard answer as to what the frame advantage is after GCFS, as well as how soon they cancel GCFS into an attack. Generally speaking, just assume the block advantage minus the active frames of GCFS (18 frames), and that's a rough estimate of the frame advantage when GCFS is performed. Do keep in mind that GCFS technically has a slight delay when the dash is performed even if you register the input as early as possible. This doesn't really matter in most cases, since the attacker will automatically be quite minus after most attacks. It would only matter in situations where the attacker can punish GCFS attempts like with throws or multi-hit attacks, but even then, that's because the attacker canceled the blocked attack into another attack that the frame advantage of the blocked attack after GCFS no longer matters in that situation. All that matters, then, is the attack is cancelable at all.
Invulnerability	Indicates whether there's any frames of invulnerability during the attack.

Diagonal Jumping Attack One of the jump attacks with the best priority, and can crossup. Use this if you need a jump-in attack, or an air-to-air attack, but the worst part is that it's a little hard to combo after this move crosses up.

Her aerial chain. This move is mainly used after the Kick Super, or as a 2-hit jump-in attack for tall characters. The first hit is her j.C, and can be canceled into the move below(d+B). The second hit is just a linker, and will combo after the first attack.

Classic move. Chun-Li will bounce on the opponent by using her legs. You can add a jumping normal after the bounce, use this move again, or even do a wall jump if possible. Sadly, you can't chain it many times, like on ST.

Chun-Li's projectile. The A version is faster, but doesn't have so much reach(It's like Andy Bogard's Hishou Ken). It can combo from the Heavy Attacks, and most Command Moves. On Max Mode, you can supercancel the hit into any Super. The C version is slow, but will travel full screen length, and can't combo from any attack, sadly.

Chun-Li's Command Grab. It doesn't do any damage, but your opponent will be open for any combo(Just walk forward and do one), and it can serve to crossup your opponent. There's no difference between the two versions too.

Chun's overhead move. It doesn't have any invincibility frames, but it has fast startup. The B version does one hit(Where you can juggle your opponent after the hit), and the D version does 3 hits(You can juggle after the last hit too). It can be used to followup her SBK(If it crosses up).

Another classic move, and can be another anti-air move, but sadly, it can't be used in the air. You can use it to crossup your opponent on certain combos(See her combos section below for more details). The B version does 2 hits, and the D version can do up to 6 hits. If it crosses up, you can followup it with her DP+K, or even the Exceed.

Chun-Li's super version of her projectile. It can destroy normal projectiles, and will stop certain Super ones. The main way to use it is as a damaging anti-air, or as a chip finisher. On the corner, it can be used to followup the Super below(It can do up to 17 hits).

Strange input, but it's a Super version of her DP+K. It will do 9 hits, and great damage(Almost one bar). It has a shortcut, in case you're having problems with the input(Charge db, HCB, uf+KK). It has some hit-confirm combos, so don't worry about landing it.

Strategy

Basic Strategy

Chun-Li's gameplan

Chun-Li is a great offensive/defensive char. You can use her as a turtler(By walking back and forward, using your long-ranged attacks and punishing when you need), which is an easy thing. For her defensive options, you have her projectile Super(Safest anti-air), her DP+K(Doesn't have invincibility frames, but you can juggle after it), or even her Exceed(Most damaging one, but due to the input, it can be a little hard to react). If you need to punish, you can just use her Kick Super(And followup it with anything), or on a better situation, do her Command Grab for a crossup combo. Good Luck in your future matches.

Advanced Strategy

Resets

Resets are important(This on nearly any SvC section). Characters with moves that can juggle the opponent can be fatal on any match, due to the damn resets. Chun-Li is a great character with combos, and with the resets, this won't change. Try this:

Any Houyoku Sen combo(Optional, you just need to hit with the super), QCF(2x)+K, forward sj. cancel, j.C, C(Where the opponent is reseted), dash under the opponent(For a crossup), cr.B(2-3x), (df+B, Charge d, u+D, DP+D/Exceed)/(QCF(2x)+K, and repeat the same process, but without the optional combo, obviously)

A really good setup for her, really, and you can even repeat it, in case your opponent needs an "Encore". On the normal mode, you can do it only 2 times, but on Max Mode... I won't even talk. Chun-Li is a great character for combos, mixups, crossups and those things, that's why she's a great high tier character. To see an example of the reset, just click here to see it on work.

cl. = close normal st. = standing/far normal cr. = crouching normal f.; etc. = forward direction (NOT far) X = any button CH = counter hit , = Used to separate attacks in the combo / = Separates different options for the combo (mainly different starters or enders that are possible) Unless otherwise stated (such as it's a link or you need to delay the attack), assume this is a chain/cancel. Example: cr.B, cr.A, dp A ; cr.B chains into cr.A, then cr.A cancels into dp A [b]~f = Indicates to charge back (or downback), then press forwards for the given special move ( ) = Parentheses used to indicate the attack(s) within the parentheses are optional to add to the combo (C) = Indicates a free cancel, aka a cancel only possible in Max Mode (SC) = Indicates a super cancel via free canceling in Max Mode (1) = Used to indicate how many hits of the attack should connect (or less than) before continuing with the combo Example: cl.C(1), hcb P means that only one hit of cl.C should be performed before moving on to do hcb P, not more than one hit [ ] = Used to distinguish combo loops or combo starters/etc. in case a certain attack is only possible after specific options xN = Repeat the given loop for as many times as either possible or as many times as you wish May change to numpad notation much later down the road.

Starters

Starters

Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
cr.B x2-3, df.B	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA
j.X, cl.C, f.B	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	f.B only combos if a jump-in is added before cl.C for whatever strange reason. Without it the opponent can block f.B with zero issue.
(j.X,) cl.D, f.B	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Does not require a jump-in.

BnB Combos

BnB Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
(j.X / hcb P,) cl.C, hcf A	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Easy combo to begin. For a Jump Attack, you can use her j.C(With the second attack) on taller characters. Note that you can't combo so easily with the C version, as it has more startup.
(j.X / hcb P,) cl.D, f.B, hcf A	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	More damaging than the move above, but the f+B will whiff on small crouching characters.
(j.X crossup / hcb P,) cl.D, f.B, dp K, (follow-up after dp D)	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	A not-that-hard combo. You'll obviously use the D version on this one, because you can followup it. On miscreen, you can do her Kikosho Super, now on the corner, you can do nearly anything. If you want, just do cl.C, DP+D(If you don't like the f+B, which whiffs on most crouching characters).
(j.X / hcb P,) cr.B x1-4, df.B, [d]~u D, [dp D, follow-up]	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	A really good combo without using meter, and a hit-confirm for the Exceed(Watch out for the direction you'll be charging, because you'll switch sides with your opponent). It can be used everywhere.
(j.X / hcb P,) cr.B, df.B, [d]~u B, dp D, follow-up	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA
dp D, [Tap D]xN	Corner	TBA	TBA	TBA	Demitri only, corner only infinite combo. For some reason, Chun-Li can infinitely juggle Demitri with her tap D special, but not tap B, and against no one else, either. That said it also does really low damage after some time so if you're doing it for a long time period, your arm might get tired. It can kill but depends on how long you can keep mashing for. Not practical due to the low damage but it's easy to set up in the corner. If it secures you the round, then it's better than dealing with Chun-Li's inconsistent combo problems against Demitri.

Super Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
(j.X / hcb P,) cl.D, f.B, qcf x2 P	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Just a combo to start. You won't be using this super a lot on combos, but it has some uses.
(j.X,) cl.D, f.B, qcf x2 K, qcf x2 P	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Double Super combo. It's cool to use, but it's wasted meter on the second super as it does much less damage overall. Does more damage in the corner but it still doesn't justify the meter cost of doing it. Though if you need to kill the opponent, especially if it ends the match, then it's not a bad combo.
(j.X / hcb P,) cr.B x2-3, df.B, qcf x2 K	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Just a combo to practice, and you can need it. I'll just put here the possible things to use before the super, and after it, I'll put some of the possible followups.
(j.X / hcb P,) cl.C, (df.B), qcf x2 K	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	This one is mostly done for punishing. You'll know how to use it.
(j.X / hcb P,) cl.C/D, f.B, qcf x2 K	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Another one for punishing. Remember: the f+B will whiff on small crouching characters, and that's why it is optional on the second combo.
Combo into qcf x2 K, cancel last hit into sj.C~C	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	A nice option in case you don't have any meter, and used the super on midscreen. The timing for the Superjump cancel can be a little hard, but you still can do it with practice. Note that after the last C hits, your opponent will be reseted(I'll talk about resets later).
cl.C, Exceed	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Mainly a punish combo. Not optimal though, and really should only be done if you can't do her other Exceed combos. Comboing off of cl.C into Exceed is tricky to do without using the shortcut anyways (what shortcut?)
(j.X / hcb P,) cr.B x1-4, df.B, [d]~u D, Exceed	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA
(j.X / hcb P,) cr.B x2-3, df.B, [d]~u B, Exceed	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Use button hold to ensure Exceed comes out frame one to not risk dropping the combo. If you can combo dp K after [d]~u K, you can combo Exceed as it's the same timing, the only extra step is getting used to charging the Exceed.
(Corner only) Combo into qcf x2 K, Exceed	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Maybe her most damaging combo ouside of Max Mode. You should learn it, really, it's mainly to do big damage. You can do it if you're near from the corner too.
(Near corner only) Combo into qcf x2 K, Tap D, Exceed	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Can do 100% damage. It can be used in a real match, which is good for her. It's not that hard too(If you can hit-confirm the super from her normals, it won't be).

Max Mode Combos

Max Mode Combos

Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
(j.X / hcb P,) cl.C, f.D, (C)hcf A, (C)qcf x2 K, any follow-up	TBA	TBA	TBA	TBA	Her Max Mode BnB, and probably her most used combo. The beginning of it (cl.C, f+D, HCF+A) can be called "Houyoku Sen combo 4", to be short. This "combo 4", is probably the most effective one, because it's the most damaging, does more hits, and won't whiff on small crouching chars, unlike certain combos. To land the Super, just do one QCF, and press K(During the special move, you will do one QCF, and... This makes the combo easier).
