The strongest woman in the world debuted in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. Chun Li's first appearance is certainly an odd one. Her outfit being the wrong color on the character select screen is only the beginning. While this is possibly her worst version in the Street Fighter 2 series, she's also one of the best characters in World Warrior. Try wrapping your head around that one. She's so good in WW that I'd almost rank her at the very top above Guile, but I won't go so far as to make that controversial decision XD

Chun's special moves are probably the worst specials in the game and definitely the worst versions of these moves that she's had in SF2. The lightning legs are so hard to even activate. Seriously, mashing light kick to get the move is way harder than in any other version of SF2. When it finally comes out (if you weren't hit first while spamming the farthest thing from a rapid-fire light attack ever) its startup is incredibly slow and it's difficult to even keep it going with how fast you're required to mash. Also, it recovers very slowly. How about the Spinning Bird Kick then? That move is a complete joke in WW. It comes out way too slowly so have fun trying to hit anyone with it. I'd say go for it if you think you can manage to hit your opponent with it since they'll probably kick themselves for falling for such an awful move. It also recovers very slowly so I strongly urge you to avoid using this entirely. Just watch out because sometimes if you're throwing out crouching kicks (meaning you're technically charging up an SBK as well) you might accidentally get the Spinning Bird Kick due to WW sometimes giving you a charge move that you didn't input for free. This means that you could be trying to poke your opponent with crouching forward, but end up doing the SBK by accident even though you were holding down the whole time. So yeah, please try to avoid using WW Chun's specials at all costs. Trying to use them could cost you the round, no joke.

So, what does WW Chun have going for her then? As you'd expect from Chun based on her other appearances in SF2, she has fantastic normals. She might just have the best normals in terms of priority (meaning she can easily out poke the other characters, including Dhalsim whose normals have the best range, but not as impressive priority). Also, she walks faster than the other playable characters in WW so she has an easy time approaching her opponents. Best of all, Chun Li is known for her excellent throws in SF2, especially for tick throwing.

This is where Chun becomes a nightmare in World Warrior. Since this version of SF2 has no reversals (for example, inputting a special move on the first frame possible when your character gets back up after a knockdown isn't possible in WW), Chun Li can easily throw you to death with tick throws. I felt really bad when I tested this theory in an online match, but it's true. Once you score a knock down or get your first throw, just go for the throw loop and you've won. It's kind of like how Zangief automatically wins the moment he knocks you down, throws you, or lands his first SPD. The difference here is that Gief has a significantly harder time getting into that position due to how slow he moves. Chun has very little trouble getting close to start a throw loop which makes her very difficult to fight. This is why I've ranked her as a top tier character on my WW tier list. If World Warrior had reversals, this version of Chun wouldn't be so godlike. However, because the game allows for her to throw loop so effectively, she truly is the strongest woman in World Warrior (hehe)
