Chun Li
Ideal Team Position: Point
Whereas there’s some debate about how good Ryu is, Chun-Li is universally regarded as a Top 5 character thanks to her versatility and excellent team synergy with a large portion of the cast. She has excellent tools for playing neutral in her normal pokes and Kikoken. Her blockstrings are among the best in the game, with moves like Hyakuretsu Kyaku and Kikoken being motion attacks and giving her access to her most useful special moves with easier, faster execution than in Street Fighter IV. Her walkspeed is fast enough that if the opponent becomes too reliant on blocking these strings, she can walk up to them and throw them quickly. Her air-to-air game is also very strong thanks to her Target Combo (j+HP x 2) and excellent neutral jump. Furthermore, her cr.lk is one of the best of its kind, giving her a fearsome close-range poking tool to confirm into either links or boost combos. Since many of her standing normals reach far, she won’t have any trouble reaching an opponent from almost any distance should she confirm from a light attack. Thanks to all of these tools, it is best that you play Chun-Li at the point so that you can bring in your anchor character, as Chun-Li has SO many ways she can safely bring in her partner or set an opponent up for the partner to continue the combo.

The Basics
Chun Li returns as a strong poke character, with moderate zoning and great safe pressure. Additionally, she has combos that can carry the opponent towards the corner, maintaining pressure when need be.
Chun has the best {{ }} moves in the game, between her standing {{ }} and her {{ + }} pop-up attack. These feed combos very easily.
Additionally, a mashed {{ }} Lightning Leg is safe on block, as well as having enough frame advantage on hit to allow certain moves to combo out of it, such as {{ }} if close enough!
EX Kikoken also has immense frame advantage, allowing {{ + }} to make a full combo afterwards.
Advanced Strategy
- Chun Li has a minor "glitch" in one of her standing normals: close standing {{ }}. If this normal hits an opponent during a groundbounce state, they will actually air reset, preventing them from tech rolling to safety. This can be used many ways, however is difficult to combo into when not in the corner.
Combo for this setup: {{ + , , , j. , (land) , , + + , }} . You'll notice that your opponent will reset in mid air, rather than landing on the ground first as usual in a juggle combo. When not in corner, vary timing to work midscreen.
Video coming soon.
Note that Chun Li isn't the only character with this rare property, but it appears to be the most practical and self-sufficient.
