Is she out now?

Offline, yes

Chun-Li to A.K.I.: A poison user? I see, so you're related to him.

 

Thoughts: Simple acknowledgement. I'm honestly not that disappointed with it. Even though FANG was the one who forced Li-Fen to activate the descent program in SFV and almost killed her, I do think there isn't enough history between the two that makes me think that Chun-Li and FANG would ever have any kind of rivalry. Chun-Li makes quick work of him during her only fight in ASF as well. So I don't mind that Chun-Li just makes a simple connection to AKI to FANG. 

I think if AKI had any more sinister intentions, like finding Li-Fen and making her life a nightmare, maybe there'd be more urgency and drama between the two. But for now, it just feels like AKI and her ties with FANG are now outside the realm of Chun-Li and her new job of teaching kung fu

 

----------

 

A.K.I. to Chun-Li: Retired and teaching kids kung fu... So lovely, Dajie.

 

Thoughts: Googling it, Dajie is like a formal term to address a woman perceived as older than the speaker. It also means Big Sister (kind of like Jiejie). 

First off, noticing some contrasting information. Chun-Li said in her story that she's taking a break from work. But it seems AKI thinks that Chun-Li is retired. (Which would be more accurate connecting SF3 to SF6, but that's another story).

In AKI's story, she sends warns CHun-Li not to get involved with any of her activities, especially with FANG planning on reviving Shadaloo once again. This makes AKI's quote even more sinister than at first glance.

AKI can use the threat of endangering Chun-Li's students, even Li-Fen to intimidate and pressure Chun-Li to stay and enjoy the retired life. Because though Chun-Li can take care of herself, her students and her lovely community may ot be so lucky.

 

Much more scary and appropriate win quote after playing through her story mode.

 

EDIT (after playing AKI's story)

 

------

 

AKI's Arcade Story

 

AKI has been sent by FANG to investigate what the remnants of Shadaloo are up to, and to send a warning should she encounter any interference. But before she can start her assignment, she pays Chun-Li a visit. She warns Chun-Li not to return to action, threatening her that is she does investigate AKI and her activities, she would not hesitate to melt Chun-Li's face right off.

 

Later, AKI slips past JP's security detail to get to him. AKI asks him about the whereabout of Ed. AKI mentions she knows where the money JP has laundering is being funneled, but doesn't know what he's planning for. JP tries to feign ignorance, as his role of Treasurer is to distribute the leftover funds accordingly.

AKI and JP fight and AKI warns JP to leave the "revival of the organization" to FANG. 

 

AKI's assignment is complete, eager to recieve praise from her master FANG for doing what he asked. AKI could've easily killed her enemies but per FANG's request, only fear and pain were inflicted on her victims. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE AKI already.

So both of them wearing qipoa dresses are just something that’s a coincidence because they’re both stereotypes of Chinese women and not based on Chun’s design at all?

 

Only similarities between Chun and AKI is that they are both Chinese, practice a Chinese martial art, and the similar clothing as @bakfromonmentioned (qipao).

 

Juri probably is closer in similarities to Chun-Li than AKI.

 

But that's as far as it go. She's probably more of a mix betwen FANG and Juri, but even she makes FANG seem less goofy and Juri less of a psycho. But I think she may be my favorite new character (along with Kimberly)

Wich collaborations you guys would be willing to spend money on?

 

SpyxFamily x Street Fighter

 

 

I will take anything for my number 1 and number 2 all-time Waifus.

 

• Yor and/or Loid guest staring (playable or cameo) in SF6
• Spy x Fam costumes for our avatar or a Yor costume for Chun-Li
• A SxF x SF anime/manga/movie spinoff
• ANYTHING!!!

 

Runback City - Full Version (available on Itunes)

 

 

Runback City - Full Version

 

Looks like AKI being revealed at EVO seems to be all but guaranteed at this point.

The guy who did the Tekken lore video took a crack at Street Fighter

 

 

It's over two hours long.

 

If anything, it's the most comprehensive SF Lore video on the web. He covers everything (except SF6) from all the mainline games, the OVAs and Aftermath trailers, Final Fight, and every single character.

I've watched it, I'd say it's accurate. Def went through a LOT of research to get some of his findings.

During one of Rashid's mission, I encounterd honest-to-god Shadaloo soldiers!  Talkin' about Bison and everything.

And his discount store Kings of Shadaloo make an appearance during the Suval'hal Arena submissions

Chun-Li to Rashid: "You fought hard when we took down Shadaloo. But you've neglected your training."

 

Thoughts: I also think you owe Chunners an apology for beating her up when she was injured and stealing her Black Moon key, HUH RASHID?!?!

 

Interesting that Chun-Li would say this when I don't think that these two ever interacted together during the Shadaloo takeover. They all reconvened on to Karin's escape chopper.  But that's it. And Rashid and Azam were doing their thing while Guild, Chun, and Ryu went to take on M. Bison. So I'm guessing Chun-Li heard reports of Rashid playing a key role in shutting down the black moons. 

But interestingly, Rashid does seem to be going to more of the streamer route. So while Chun focus on daily training, Rashid setting up his brand and getting all the latest equipment for the views, likes, and subscribes. I def think this shows the different mentalities between the two fighters in the aftermath, as well as personalities. Chun more focused, while Rashid is more free-flowing like the wind. 

 

 

Rashid to Chun-Li: "You're teaching kids kung fu? You're not teaching them THOSE kicks, are you?"

 

Thoughts: This quote got me laughing really hard. I can just imagine it right now.

Quote

 

Chun-Li: Today, we are practicing the basic roundhouse kick

 

Kids/Students: Basics are boring! Teach us how to hover in the air, upside down with our legs split.

 

Parents: *starts contacting the Dept of Labor, and writing on yelp*

Chun-Li: No! No! Wait! It's not like that! Just the basics! I promise!

Li-Fen:  You're on your own with this one Jiejie.

But this is probably one of my fave win quotes against Chun-Li (probably 2nd to Ryu). It's a lot of fun, Rashid finds out what Chun has been doing these days. And a nice wisecracking joke shared between them. 10/10 in my opinion.

 

 

 

Stay cool and hydrated this summer everyone

What the hell is Rashid doing in Nayshall anyway? Is he there to stream the fights? If so he’s late to the party as Suval’hal concluded.

 

 

 

Probably for clout, he's gonna stream himself doing charitable acts for the people of Nayshall for likes.
