Street Fighter 6/Chun-Li/Introduction

Introduction

A former high-kicking ICPO agent, Chun-Li looks after Li-Fen, a victim of the Black Moon Incident. With Shadaloo sundered, she now runs Kung Fu classes and has become a well-loved member of the local community.

Chun-Li is a tried and true footsies character, with great emphasis on having many options to control space and punish her opponents in neutral. She has a little bit of everything when it comes to her general tools, but for the most part they're tailored toward hit confirms and punishes. The limited range on her special moves (even her fireball) demanding very sharp knowledge of spacing along with the overwhelming amount of options she has can make her quite daunting to pick up, but ultimately rewarding to master. While her gameplan revolves around her strong neutral, she also manages to have fairly formidable pressure in the form of her new Serenity Stream stance cancels. If you want a character that can do a lot in the right hands and thrives on punishing opponents' habits, Chun-Li is a great pick.
