Some of ya'll Chun-Li fans got pissed that she didn't get her punch in on Bison, what you should be pissed at is that since SF2 Chun-Li -when not trying to get revenge- was reduced to either fodder for men (see SF2 Ending) or a Mother, because what else is a woman going to be?

Well, SF is born as product for young men decades ago, so females being mostly used as eye candy is'nt surprising It's also a japanese, kinda shonen product... go watch larget majority of relevant anime/manga and the stronger characters list it's either all males or heavily male dominated SF6 may do some extra gesture to empower females in a western way because it's trying hard to please americans, but tbh i think at the core will stay the same with new young heroes for american (Luke) and chinese (Jaime, even if he's HK) market being young males Maybe Chun will school Luke's or Jaime's ass (who are still green) but that's about it i guess Chun will be in her most powerful version ever and seem stronger due experience gap vets will have over the new wave of young fighters, see how she's on another league while sparring with Li Fen BootyWarrior and Chun-Li_Forever 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BootyWarrior Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Most people who like the female cast only care about their looks. So I'm not surprised Chun-Li ended up being a single mother of an adopted child meanwhile Ken, Guile, Dhalsim, Dudley and Hakan have a wife and kid(s) and their stories aren't always centred around raising them. C. Vipers the only mother in SF but then again she's Capcom's Vanessa Shakunetsu 1 Quote Link to comment

At least she is not defining herself or her worth in relation to other men - good or evil, and is pursuing something higher. This is the main reason why the crowd shipping for Ryu and Chun need to STFU. Having both characters simply holding tremendous mutual respect for one another due to shared trauma and their respective mastery is infinitely more valuable to SF. I think the biggest feminist win in SF to date is Chun-Li officially overtaking Ken as the #2 Street Fighter after Ryu. This started in SF5 but it is in full swing now.

This and him having a daughter are HUGE news! 😮 I also found out about this only today, after BootyWarrior said so. I simply googled it to verify. The fact Dudley is so obsessed with his father's car is answered in the previous Q&A: when his father went bankrupt, Dudley swore to get back everything the family lost to pay for their debts, down to the single teaspoon. He succeeded, but he couldn't find the Jaguar anywhere. Getting it back would mean to get back his youth to him. I don't know if the fact Dudley has divorced is merely a guess, as Dudley doesn't say anything about a wife or a previous lover in the scan Ryoredcyclone posted.

It wasn't a title won. Yes, but was also the kind of hype Capcom people were implying to be fair, with her being the first (SF or fight game) woman being worthy of fight with best male fighters of the world That's up to the point i said there, SF2 CE/HF By the time of SSF2 with Cammy's arrival, that "title" would have needed to be proven to still hold true and imho started to lose credibility, or at least it's previous certainty vanished As today i consider Chun Li slighty (but kinda clearly) superior to Cammy, but tbh it's all about stuff happened in later chapters, by the time of SSF2 (when i was kid, with no internet or idea of "canon") i used to consider more or less Chun and Cammy to be equal... to my 10yo eyes they was just two hot speedy girls with lot of kicks, basically same shit but one kung fu china and other military euro flavors Now i did'nt know shit back then, but now that i know bit more as SF2 arc itself i was'nt that far from the truth i guess lol Then by the time we got SFA that "title" would sound false due Rose, unless people want start make up theories about the meaning of "strongest" and say that in pure hand-to-hand Chun would win... wich is technically true, but that would be silly as that would remove most of what Rose is about Not considering SF6 (wich gave us nothing so far), my current very loose SF female food chain looks more or less like Rose Seth Juri, Chun li, Kolin, C.Viper Cammy, Maki, Karin, Sakura, Laura, Lucia, Decapre, Falke Juni, Juli, Menat Akira, R.Mika, Ibuki, Makoto, Elena Order is not casual, but people on same line are all kinda close Edited August 5, 2022 by CESTUS III Chun-Li_Forever 1 Quote Link to comment

I think that's likely. Not sure if you heard, but there were datamining leaks of the SF6 website updating from 5 character slots to 9. So maybe we'll get two more in addition. Maybe it'll be like the very first trailer where they showcased Ryu, Chun, Luke, and Jamie, but this time, we'll get 4 new ones. Plus hopefully a look at the new modes. Maybe a beta announcement, and a hard release date. ShockDingo 1 Quote Link to comment

Kimberly invited herself to be Guy's student. ❤️ Quote Bust out some beats and shake up your spray cans to welcome the newest ninja to Street Fighter 6. Kimberly invited herself to become Guy’s student, who is the 39th Successor to Bushinryu after defeating his master Zeku, the 38th Successor. Kimberly had an ordinary upbringing, but she’s a prodigy who graduated college early and now wants to be a full-fledged ninja. She is infatuated with ’80s pop culture when the portable cassette player was at its peak popularity, hence why she always carries one with her.
