First! And why are the lightning legs half circle? Couldn't they have kept it mash only? But still I can't wait to main her!

half circles seem weird but its a different game with different mechanics.

It's gonna take alot of getting used to considering i'm not that good with execution, but i'll make it happen.

Lightning legs are half circle??? why?

ChunLi said on June 20, 2011 at 3:45 a.m.

I'm sure the reason behind Hyakuretsukyaku being a half-circle now is because of the heavy being pressed twice for the launcher, that means you can't mash out a heavy Hyakuretsukyaku at all. Without you being able to rapidly press for a certain version, they had to change how you do Hyakuretsukyaku entirely.

With the way the bnb launcher combos will work at present, I'm sure noone will have a mash special move and have it replaced with another motion instead.

I personally think it'll be good for combos, that way Chun-Li players can think more calmly in a differently paced game.

They should really change her Spinning Bird Kick to an SRK or something. Having only one charge move seems dumb.

You should all check out the vid of J.Wong using her in this game because man, the half-circle motion for Hyakuretsukyaku has really given the move a lot more utility for both combo strings and for up close pressure. Seth Killian also mentioned that Chun Li has impressive juggling ability in the game. Kikoken's distance, recovery and half-circle motion all seem great too!

@Rafael2487 - Sorry, but "Blue Girl" has always been top/upper mid tier in all of her incarnations and being Capcom icon, she deserves no less.

Here's the link to the vid.

R u people stupid..theres a new feature that allows for characters to charge their Special Moves..That is why capcom changed the Hyakuriatsu-Kyaku..do ur homework people.. XP

Hey Catalyst, you ought to throw together a new icon to indicate which of their special moves can be charged up into their super/ultra. I know the whole meterless super thing is useless in practice, but I imagine it's still good to know

wtf is wrong with the chun li leg in the pic... it just keeps getting bigger and more musculare

@Rafael2487 shes always broken & shes normally top tier in most of the games thats feature her outside of AE

YoYoMan said on July 24, 2011 at 9:58 p.m.

I think the half circle legs is so it doesn't mess with the tag system (where if you press HP or HK twice it tags them out).. thats my speculation. probably wrong

does she has a super move? and how do we do that if she has?

Vandylizer said on January 28, 2012 at 9:56 p.m.

Justin Wong has said in interviews that he loves Chun Li when she's not a charge character and one of the big reasons he didn't play her in SSFIV was because she was a charge character. The fact that she has chargeless legs and kikokens will make Justin fall in love with her I'm sure (Let's go Justin! all over again).

caruga said on January 29, 2012 at 10:05 a.m.

Agreed, the leg in the image looks ridiculous, like something a roiding male body-builder would have. There isn't even any room for her other leg to be.

ok if i can get used to the lightning legs input as it is in this game, then ill still play as Chun-li. I hope i can do a similar combo i do in MVC3 b/c in this game she has her diagonal kicks again. I miss those kicks. SFIV - AE she sucks. i hate her as a Turtle char. she is fast and agile, why did they make her Kikoken a charge move for??

alexlexus said on March 1, 2012 at 8:09 a.m.

ugh this is going to be an adjustment due to my time spent learning chun li in her current form in ssf4. i will be taking a few loses until i get used to her but i hope if they changed her for the sake of the system that they keep her this way from now on.

but instead of the hcf + kick for lighting legs it should just be a fireball motion and the bird kick should be a simple hurricane kick motion.

XxRagingxDemonxX said on March 1, 2012 at 10:19 p.m.

Spinning Bird kick is good as it is, since she charges it, it's input is good as is. If it didn't charge, then it could be spammed alot. She is perfect in MVC3. She has all her moves and her kikoken isn't a stupid charge move. Tenshokyaku as a target combo is really lame. They changed Chun-li big time in SF4, and she sucks in that game.

THE_GODDAMN_MASTER said on March 8, 2012 at 12:50 p.m.

#20: You think she's perfect in MVC3, when she's one of the worst characters in that game.
You're not exactly qualified to talk about anything else with that statement...

AmeerMeer said on April 8, 2012 at 1:47 a.m.

I main her, and trust me, Half circle lightning legs DEFINITELY is a plus point. The combo possibilites and juggles are almost endless with it, especially given the tag aspect of the game. You can Jump+HK into H-LL, or even standing HK into M/H LL for some pretty good damage. Also low Hazanshu into LL :D

MadokaTheTechwiz said on July 6, 2012 at 6:41 p.m.

Between Chun-Li in SFxT and Chun-Li in SSFIV:AE
I oddly enough like the SFxT version better. Maybe it's because of her ability to Juggle so much. Still practicing though. :D
