Chun-Li_Forever

Sound like Ryu is the muscle of a crew that plans to rob Las Vegas on a fight night.

You wound me.

Happy Pride Month everyone. The youtube channel SugarPunch released a whole video celebrating LGBT & non-Binary characters in fighting games. Including Poison (and the backstory) and current day Seth.
 
 

You wound me.

I feel like the missions we used to have in SFV were a good idea but not explored good enough and limited by how that particular game was designed.  Moving forward to SF 6 they have a good chance to improve and expand upon it to benefit both online and offline focused players.
 
Regarding  the single player and multiplayer aspects of  SF 6 :  
 
I think the single player mode open world is a good opportunity for Capcom to design a system that people can keep going back to and use while not feeling the need to play ranked OR play it while in the que for ranked, so the downtime would actually be enjoyable .It would be cool if they can develop a system that allows you to follow the path of the character you like ( Juri, Ryu,Chun etc ) by doing certain activities in the single player open world, be them in the form of mini quests like beat up a bunch of mad gear thugs ,collect X amount of SF symbols within  Metro City, find certain NPC around the world, emote X amount of times towards other players in the lobby and so on ( i imagine they want to focus on activities that makes you explore the zones  ). All of these would be optional of course, but there as something extra to try if you feel like it.  
This would unlock artwork , lore , cosmetics and other things for your main character that you can use in the actual ranked matches and make you stand out. This would reward players that want to spend more time in the single player aspect of the game.  
While pushing to improve your own skill is actually the main reward here  , i feel that the ranked system should benefit the player with more rewards not just a certain amount of points or a title. There will always be players that just don't want to deal with the single player aspect of the game and it's understandable ,so it would be more then fair to tie in some cosmetics to ranked mode upon reaching certain milestones within the online ranking system.   
 Needless to say the possibilities for Capcom are many when it comes to activities in both online and offline modes of the game to keep it fresh and hold the interest of the player base. If both are done correctly , it could push both type of players to try both  modes  of the game and expand the game's lifespan.

Unsure if this was posted before but  : 
 
 
  
 
PS : Maybe the main story won't focus on some major big bad and the end of the world as we  know it and it's going to take a different approach and just expand on character stories and smaller events based on this quote from the video ;

STREET FGHTERS MASTERS CHUN LI #1 CVR A GENZOMAN
(W) Kinnaird, Ryan (A) Kinnaird, Ryan (C) Genzoman,
UDON ENTERTAINMENT INC
StockID: 51979 SKU: JUL222133

The strongest woman in the world- Chun-Li- stars in her own one-shot adventure! Interpol Officer Chun-Li travels to her birthplace of China- determined to put an end to a new Shadaloo scheme

Hopefully it will be about Chun Li unlike Street Fighter Legends: Chun Li.

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

So the guy's tier-list had me combing through Chun-Li's win/loss record according to the SF canon (because I have nothing better to do on a monday workday). In chronical order to the lore (including all games, retcons, OVAs, movies, story modes, Fight Your Rivals)
 
Street Fighter Alpha
Chun-Li vs M. Bison (Final Boss) - Result: LOSS Even in Alpha, M. Bison is still leagues above a young, headstrong Chun-Li. Though M. Bison is brought to one knee as seen in Chun's Alpha 1 ending, M. Bison was clearly toying with her, knocking her out and into a hospital bed with one Psycho Power punch to her stomach
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Chun-Li vs Gen (Mid Boss) - Result: DRAW Since Gen and CHun-Li are each other's mid bosses respectively, then it could be safe to assume that they met up with each other before Chun-Li went off to find M. Bison. In a real fight, I believe Gen could easily defeat Chun-Li, but it is plausible that Gen held back some when Chun-Li tried to fight for information on her father from him. Either Chun-Li got the information needed, or realized that fighting against Gen wouldn't yield any favorable results, and resulted in both parting Chun-Li vs M. Bison (Final Boss) - Result: DRAW This time around, M. Bison acknowledges Chun-Li's strength, even though he was clearly holding back against her. M. Bison retreats instead of knocking out Chun-Li in this one. It's unknown with the details of the fight, but both emerge with no clear victor in this contenst. EXTRA: Chun-Li vs Akuma (sub boss) - Result: Unknown (Not 100% sure if canon, so I'm not adding it. But chun-Li can fight Akuma as a sub boss before fighting M. Bison) Street Fighter Alpha 3
 
*Canonicity withstanding from the previous two Alpha games,
 
Chun-Li vs Birdie (Rival) - Result: WIN Chun-Li beats Birdie and gets him to spill M. Bison's location Chun-Li vs Cammy (Rival) - Result: WIN I'll chalk this up as a win for Chun-Li because she was able to defeat Cammy and break M. Bison's pyscho power influence on her. That said, Cammy's Alpha ending in the SFV arcade mode shows Cammy knocking out Chun-Li. 
http://www.game-art-hq.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/SFVAE-Arcade-Ending-Cammy-SF-Alpha-Route-Art.jpg Chun-Li vs Juil & Juni - Result: WIN This fight transitions between her fight with Cammy and M. Bison, M. Bison sending her dolls to take care of Chun as she fights them off before fighting M. Bison Chun-Li vs M. Bison - Result - DRAW Chun-Li manages to hold her own, and almost goes into arrest him. But M. Bison doesn't go down easy. M. Bison retreats as Chun-Li takes care of the Shadaloo base. So while Chun-Li didn't get the one-on-one victory against M. Bison, she does shutdown M. Bison's base. Sidenote: more than one ending has M. Bison being blasted off by a laser, so even though Chun-Li does press the button that would vaporize M. Bison in her particular ending, I wouldn't count that as a "win" for Chun. Guile vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: DRAW No animosity between the two, just Chun-Li trying to stop Guile from interfering with Charlie's mission Dan vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: LOSS Probably the most embarrassing loss of Chun's career, and one of the reasons why I'm thankful Alpha 3 is canonically shaky. It's not that Chun-Li isn't at fault, she does pull the idiot card in assuming Dan was affiliated with Shadaloo. But Dan gets the best of her, and she even admits in her post-match dialogue against Dan  "How can I be beaten by such a pathetic style?!" Sodom vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: DRAW (maybe win?) I can't find any thing outside of the Rival Dialogue with this. Sodom want to convert Shadaloo's base into a Mad Gear spot. Chun-Li is investigating Shadaloo. They fight. Though it is on Sodom's side and you do have to beat Chun-Li to advance, Sodom does not end up with the base in his possession and Kamikazes in his end. To that end, Sodom didn't get what he was after while Chun-Li would resume investigating the Shadaloo base. So it could chalk up as a win for Chun. But since there is little I can find outside of this, I'll relegate it to a Draw or unknown. Zangief vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: DRAW (maybe loss?) Same with Sodom, there is nothing outside of the Rival Dialogue that gives us any information. Chun-Li urges Zangief to let Interpol handle Shadaloo, but Zangief proves he's worthy to fight Shadaloo, as he does contiinuing his arcade path. Both show no ill feelings in future games, this moment is never referenced. Either Zangief totally overpowers Chun into Submission, or Chun-Li acknowledges Zangief's strength to allow him to help against Shadaloo. Street Fighter II

Chun's ending in this shows her praying to her father that she avenged his death. While not canonically clear on who won the SFII tournament outside of Akuma ending M. Bison's life with the Raging Demon), we can't assume that Chun-Li canonically defeated M. Bison in this one, since every SFII ending assumes the chosen character ended up winning the whole thing and beating M. Bison in the end. 
That said, there is one event that takes place POST-SFII that can be seen in the C. Viper Aftermath trailer that is particularly interesting
 
Chun-Li, Ryu, Ken, Guile, and Cammy vs M. Bison - Result: WIN The aftermath assumes that it took a team effort to stop M. Bison's terror at the end of SFII. What's significant about this is that Chun-Li is the one who delivers the decisive blow that has M. Bison at the hands of the good guys. So that should score some "lore points" with her and against the man that's been driving her revenge arc for years.
Though M. Bison goes the "suicide" route, rather than be defeated, i'll chalk this as a win for the whole team and for Chun-Li There is one other thing: in Chun-Li's Aftermath Traiiler, it shows her fighting against Ken. I can only assume it takes place within the SFII timeframe, and a winner for that is unknown as well.
 
 
Street Fighter IV - OVAs
 
First starting with the Ties That Bind OVA. 
 
Chun-Li & Sakura vs SIN Henchmen - Result: WIN Doesn't really mean anything, it was expected these two cuold beat a bunch of jobbers. Plus, this fight does nothing for Lore Points. But it's a win, and the only fight she partakes in the OVA. And now the Juri OVA
 
Chun-Li vs Juri - Result: LOSS Juri pretty much stomps everyone in this OVA to legitimize her as a character. Chun-Li just happened to be one of those victims in her way. Street Figher IV - Game
 
Lets take a look at all the Fight-Your-Rival moments
 
Chun-Li vs C. Viper (Rival) - Result: DRAW I'd say if it happened twice, it's not a coincidence. It certainly is within the realm of possibility that Chun-Li and C. Viper met and combatted during their investigations into SIN. Since C. Viper can't blow her cover, violence was the only option. Unclear winner on this one as both go on to resume their investigations into SIN. We can also assume that both of their "victories" to advance the arcade path will cancel each other out, if Chun-Li were to win in her path, and Viper were to win in hers. Chun-Li vs Juri (Rival) - Result: WIN (or draw) Take this with a grain of salt. But hear me out. In the cutscene, Juri acknowledges her beatdown in the Juri OVA, so there is some canon connection there. This fight is basically Chun-Li's revenge after getting stomped in their first battle. Take note that Juri activates her Feng Shui eye before the fight, meaning that she would not go easy on Chun during this fight. Chun-Li this time gets the better of Juri, but fails to arrest her and sends her retreating. So if we count Fight your Rival moments as part of canon, then it's viable Chun-Li managed to hold her own against Juri, who was toying with her for the most part of the Juri OVA. Chun-Li vs Seth (Final Boss) - Result: Unknown Since we don't see Chun-Li take on Seth outside her Arcade mode path, we can't assume that the two met, fought, or who would win. Balrog vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: LOSS (or Draw) This is one of possibly the few times Chun-Li and Balrog ever fought canonically. Assume we're playing from Balrog's perspective, Balrog would have to win to advance the path, which would mean a loss for Chun-Li. That, or possibly both fighters could be even in terms of skill and power, that Balrog is able to escape from Chun before she can bring him in for questioning. Too bad their Fight your Rival dialogue is the only reference we can draw from.  Vega vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: LOSS (or draw) Same with Balrog is that we'll have to assume we're playing from Vega's POV to advance the story, which would mean a loss for Chun.
If we are to assume this fight would take place before the happenings at the SIN base, then Chun's defeat would allow Vega to get to the SIN base first before Chun-Li could enter (as show in Vega's SFIV Vanilla ending). Vega does get one last laugh against Chun-Li, albeit a sneaky one, where he traps her in lockdown before the gas asphyxiates her. Gen vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: LOSS or DRAW Interestingly enough, this is almost the same as Chun's and Gen's Rival dialogue back in SF Alpha 2
I know what I said before, that we'll have to assume the POVs of the playable character to advance the arcade path. And same with Gen, in that Gen would have to beat Chun-Li to move on to the final boss.
Gen said in the Fight Your Rival cutscene that he won't hold back against Chun-Li as she's trying to get answers from him (whether it be Shadaloo connections, or information on her father reamains unclear). In the end, Gen doesn't stop Chun-Li from continuing to investigate SIN, neither does he give her any info she desires. But Gen does save her in the base (as seen in Gen's vanilla ending) before Guile and Abel come to retrieve her. Yun vs Chun-Li (Rival) - Result: Unknown Yun has no Fight your Rival scenes with Chun, so while it could happen, there isn't any scenes or dialogue to pull information from.  
Street Fighter V
 
Let's take a look at all of the Chun encounters in everyone's character story and A Shadow Falls. Chun-Li's character story takes place during her Alpha years, so this adds some more depth to her alpha story
 
Chun-Li Character Story
Chun-Li vs Vega 1 - Result: LOSS Chun's first fight with Vega ends with him injuring her arm before retreating as seen in the post match scene Chun-Li vs Nash - Result: DRAW Chun-Li holds her own against Nash, but is unable to defeat him for long. Nash does this to demonstrate that if Chun can't take him out, her chances against M. Bison wouldn't be great Chun-Li vs Vega 2 - Result WIN Chun manages to overpower Vega and was about to question him before he spills about the death of her father. That hesitation was enough to allow Vega to retreat. Birdie Character Story
Birdie vs Chun-Li - Result: LOSS Another embarassing loss for Chun. She tries to arrest him for suspicion of Shadaloo activities, but Birdie fends her off and runs away. A Shadow Falls
Chun-Li vs M. Bison - Result: LOSS This wasn't really fair. M. Bison powerful already but got a significant buff thanks to the Black Moons. M. Bison not only squashed her, but nearly killed her and possibly injured her (see next fight) Chun-Li vs Rashid - Result: LOSS While I do believe Chun-Li is a better fighter than Rashid, she was clearly injured and hurt from her last fight with M. Bison, so Rashid was able to take advantage of that to beat Chun-Li and take her piece. Chun-Li vs FANG - Result: WIN Chun-Li beats FANG to rescue Li-Fen  
Street Fighter III
Chun-Li vs Urien - Result: WIN It is possible Urien wasn't going all-out, and only wanted to see Chun demonstrate her skills. But even still, Urien holding back would still be an incredibly tough opponent. And the fact that Chun-Li could hold her own enough to rescue Li-Fen deserves a win, even if it didn't result in a KO.  
 
 
TLDR: Chun-Li's record 9 wins, 10 losses, 11 draws/unknowns
