- Can rapid fire into itself or chain into standing short.
Chun Li's standing jab is a very quick swipe of her arm. It allows her to set up many tick-throws on characters that can't duck it, by forcing them to block a standing jab, then going into mix-ups of: walk-up throw, walk-up CC, or making them block another jab.
- Note: Characters that can duck Chun-Li's standing jab - Guy, Charlie-Nash, Rose, Sakura, and Birdie(when done outside of point blank range).

- While the damage variance is the same for the first hit as it is for the projectile, the first hit does higher damage more consistently.
