Perhaps even better-known the world over than her Street Fighter peer Ryu, Chun-Li makes an expected return to the world of the vs. Capcom series. This agile interpol officer is as ready as ever to bring justice to the chaotic world of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.
In a nutshell
In Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, Chun has not gained any entirely new special moves so much as she has had a significant retooling of how her moves are performed. One of the few vs. Capcom charge characters, Chun's Spinning Bird Kick and Kikoken are now quarter-circle moves. This makes Spinning Bird Kick easier to perform at significant aerial heights, complementing her aerial mobility-centric gameplan. Instead, charging is reserved strictly for the particularly special EX Spinning Bird Kick and Kikoanken. Her iconic Hyakuretsukyaku, aka Lightning Legs, now no longer requires rapid button mashing, and is also a quarter circle move. If you want to use Chun effectively, you'll need to swiftly manuever around the screen, approach your opponent, and use your aerial options to mix them up for her lengthy combos.
EX: Chun-Li has the ability to charge some of her specials which grant additional benefits. Holding down or back for a set time will make Chun-Li glow, letting you know her more powerful EX Spinning Bird Kick or Kikoanken are available.
