Chun-Li: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Moves, Combos, Strategy Guide
Last updated on May 19, 2009
Special Moves
A (2) next to an arrow means to hold the joystick in that direction for 2 seconds to 'charge' the move.
With moves that charge by holding back or down, you can use the diagonal positions to charge up as well. For example, if you're holding back, you can jump backwards or block low and still maintain your charge.
• Fireball (Kikouken) •
This works like her fireball in other games. Light Kikoukens will travel the longest range — about 3/4ths of the screen — but are the slowest. Hard versions go the shortest distance, a little farther than her hand, but are the fastest.
(Press an Attack button rapidly, this can also be done in the air)
• Lightning Legs (Hyakuretsu Kyaku) •
Chun-Li's signature move is back. The Light attack version of this move will keep on going until you stop mashing the button. The Medium and Hard Light Legs will fire off in bursts that stop for a brief moment and resume, but they do more damage.
This attack isn't very damaging overall though, but can be helpful in combos when used correctly.
(Can also be used in the air)
• Up Kicks (Tenshou Kyaku) •
This makes Chun-Li perform a rapid series of kicks while flying up. Can be a solid anti air move if you have good timing. The strength of the button used determines the damage and number of hits.
This isn't damage scaled as much as other moves in combos, so it works well as an air combo ender.
(Can also be performed in the air)
• Spinning Bird Kick •
Works like it has in other Street Fighter games, but can also be done in the air now. Chun-Li spins upside down with her legs out.
You can Cancel into the Raging Chun-Li (Level 3 Hyper move) after doing this attack because Chun-Li is technically in the air when performing it.
(In the air)
• Head Stomp (Toe Tap) •
Chun-Li stamps her foot on her opponent while jumping, but can still attack after wards.
Hyper Moves
• Hyper Fireball (Level 1, Kikou Shou) •
Makes Chun-Li unleashes a big fireball, but it doesn't do a lot of damage or have much range. About the only thing this is useful for is an anti air move.
• Hyper Up Kicks (Level 1, Houyokusen) •
Chun-Li performs a flurry of kicks, with the last attack launching her opponent up into the air so she can juggle them after wards.
(In the air)
• Raging Chun-Li (Level 3, Shichisei Senkuukyaku) •
This move closely resembles Akuma's Raging Demon. Chun-Li moves forward with her leg held up high and if she hits a bunch of letters from another language (Japanese?) show up on the screen.
While this is considerably better than her other Hyper moves, it's heavily affected by damage scaling when used in combos, so you don't want to have too many hits going before you combo into this.
Normal Moves
• Flip Kick •
Must be blocked high.
• Launcher (Senjou Shuu) •
This will launch your opponent up into the air.
Assists
| Partner Assist | Variable Counter | Variable Combination |
| Light Aerial Up Kicks | Down-Toward + Hard Attack (Launcher) | Hyper Fireball |
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Storyline
Chun-Li, a famous Chinese fighter and Interpol agent, is a prominent martial artist who is renowned for her speedy and powerful kicks.
Whether showcasing her fighting ability on the job or in the ring, she has never given up hope of finding her missing father. She knows that the Shadaloo crime organization, and its leader, her longtime arch-enemy M. Bison, are linked to her father’s disappearance.
Character origins
Chun-Li was first introduced in Street Fighter 2.
After the events of the Street Fighter 2 tournament and M. Bison's apparent death, Chun-Li stood at a cross roads of either returning to police work or pursuing her own personal life.
In Street Fighter III Third Strike, set years after the Street Fighter 2 tournament, Chun-Li is shown teaching martial arts classes to young children. Urien kidnaps one of these kids and she decides to rejoin the tournament to track the child down.
Chun-Li was the first playable female character in a fighting game back when she was introduced in the 1991 arcade release of Street Fighter 2. She's known for her quick moves, and having really big thighs.

Chun Li's raging Chun has a Fist of the North Star reference in it.
First off, in Fist of the North Star, some of Kenshiro's most noticeable attacks, are single punches or kicks that cause the enemy to violently explode. Even in his own fighting game, one of his most powerful moves is a single hit (but really hard to use) move that kills the opponent in 10 seconds.
Secondly, Fist of the North Star as one might expects, has a 'signature' symbol; that of the little dipper formation (though the Big Dipper is also used, as it's the formation of scars on Kenshiro's chest). This formation of stars is also in the moves animation, if you look carefully beyond the symbols.
But to go even further into it, lastly let us take into account that Chun-Li also has a multi-hit kick move that repeats itself, hit's many times, and deals a lot of damage. Do I even need to explain this one?
I hope that provided a little insight in what I think to be quite a quirky reference, regardless of intention.

She looks so much better in this game than in SF4 in my opinion. Plus, her theme sounds perfect!

Chun Li's "raging demon" attack has kanji words (chinese characters). I can only read the words on the right of the screen when it comes up, which means 7 star... lol then the left is too complicated for me.

It's 七星閃空脚, meaning something like: seven star sparkling air leg

I love to team her up with Saki. She pins em down with her hyper fireball while Saki unloads her unblockable, free damage is the best kind of damage.
