Chun-Li_Forever

I think on SFV Chun Li growth focus was about show her switching priority from her -understandable- obsession on Bison to avenge somebody dead (dad) to something higher, the will to risk her life to save and protect somebody who's still alive (Li Fen)
Life > death, future > past, love > hate and all that shit, wich translate nicely to the Chun we see today
If Bison incarnated negativity and all related with it, her becoming a motherly protective figure instead a force of revenge is someway a moral win of some sort, i guess
Bad written? Probably
They found many ways to make her weak and dumb? Yeah
But that's the interpretation i can make out of it... IF this is what they was going for, i don't even think it was bad development, just terribly executed
After all the power used as a tool not to defeat, but to protect was a central theme in SFV Ryu evolution too
 
About Cammy idk lol... i mean, yes they wanted to make us consider important her bond with Decapre, but most would just remember that beside getting big W against out of shape close to retirement cop and another W against a Decapre that does'nt feel particular powerful in ASF, her whole strong indipendent gimmick got bit destroyed by the need of powerful babysitter Juri to be protected from Vega, who would have defeated her 2 times out 2
 
I mean Cammy tag team with Decapre (when Decapre stepped in during 2nd fight) and get a revenge W (even if  as 2v1) on Vega after their first encounter would have made her look bit weak, but damage could have been partially absorbed by reasoning on the fact that being only one step below Sagat, Vega is still a pretty powerful above average opponent, and even if not  a ppure win could still have left Cammy with something
But no, even when facing Vega 2v1, it's still Juri taking again the role of repel Vega, while Cammy/Decapre just switch to lesser threat represented by dolls
 
Conclusion, while i may understand what they had in mind for Chun, i had no fucking idea what they was thinking for Cammy lol

Capcom updated the SF6 website with Guile's info
 
https://streetfighter.com/6/en-us/character/guile.html
 
Guile also got a new VA too (just like with Jennie Kwan taking over for Laura Bailey)

The problem with Chun-Li is that her creators were - and are - supremely misogynistic without even realising it. When you read the interviews to the developers and learn they already wanted to give her a SHORTER LIFEBAR, you know things couldn't end well.
Because, come on, after all she's a woman...

Man, they made Guile look gooooood. Even more, I think in game he actually looks better than in the concept art, so that makes me even more excited to see the other characters in action. Stage looks sick too. 
 
I honestly can't understand where all of this spark was during SFV's lifetime. It just seems so simple and natural and easy to get people excited about Street Fighter. It's fucking Street Fighter after all.

I look on the concept art very average and just okay at first. I'm so surprised that I never thought the team would redesign Guile this way. SF6 Guile is 10 times better than SFV Guile. They aged Guile amazing and his stage has the nostalgic feel on it even it's new that's an amazing take. 
 
 
 

Chun-Li's new stance move, which they called "Serenity Stream" in English, is named 行雲流水 Kōun ryūsui in Japanese. It's an old expression literally meaning "going like the clouds, flowing like the water"; it alludes figuratively to an easygoing attitude, which adapts to everything without sticking to a specific form.
 
 
 
Oh, and bearded Guile is cool.

I believe it's too late for Capcom to salvage anything to do with Chun-Li and her "Revenge against Shadaloo/M. Bison" arc when they fucked up her character in A Shadow Falls. I don't know, maybe Capcom can retcon it in a future game, maybe we'll get some exposition in SF6 about Chun-Li playing a bigger role. Hell, maybe we'll get freaking cinematics about a proper end to her Revenge arc. But i'm not holding my breath.
 
But while that chapter was poorly done, I have (a little) hope for her "Sifu Chun-Li" chapter of her life.
 
We got a taste of that in the end of SF3. But here we are and already seeing some potential. Not just with Chun's redesign to reflect her maturity. But aging up her adoptive daughter Li-Fen as well. I'd imagine having watched her grow up the past "X" years, training her, and seeing her improve, we'll start to see more of a different side of Chun-Li that we haven't explored that much yet. Plus, a number of things to take away from her bio, one of them being that one of the things she enjoys are "Days off" and "Shopping with Li-Fen". Though she teaches Kung Fu and to Li-Fen, she especially enjoys it when she can take off that role and just do something that most mothers and daughters do.
 
Plus, in her bio, it says that she's become a beloved member of her local community. So there is that possibility she's done some community work outside of teaching kung fu classes. Maybe, even though she's already retired, she continues to keep her streets safe by taking care of anyone who dares: from under-privileged youths who have no where to go, to gang disputes/wars (maybe connecting to the Mad Gear gang seen in the trailer), corrupt politicians doing shady dealls, and maybe another high-class level of evil on par with the likes of Shadaloo.

Nah, I'm talking about her ending where we get a glimpse of her teaching kung fu to kids.

If F.A.N.G. stands for "Fucking Asian New Guy", then does A.K.I stand for "A Killer Improvement"?

100% for getting an escrima fighter from the Philippines, mainly for personal reasons.
 
Chun-Li represents one half of my ethinic history and heritage. A Filipino fighter would be the other half.
