I would have vastly preferred the early fan speculation idea that he was an ancient warrior who went full SNH, got sealed up, never dying and was released somehow over the course of the ASF events.

I liked him better when I thought he was Māori, and the New Zealand stage was his...

“Hahaha! Your songs ain’t much my thing, but you’re a real character, y’know that?”

Chun-Li to Dee Jay: " I think your music may be a little too energetic for my liking."

 

Thoughts: Better than what you got for your SF6 theme song, babe.

 

Interestingly enough, in Udon's Street Fighter 100 Ryu vs Chun-Li comic, while Dee Jay was DJing it up, Chun-Li arrives at the party and just mingles with her fellow fighting acquaintances. I'm not sure if Chun was ever the party dancing kind of girl. I know she liked to liven things up when she was trying to get back to her single life. But it would be interesting if she was.

 

Though we are never privied to Chun's taste in music, I would find it plausible if she was more into the classical genre, especially since she got her first inspiration of kung fu from Peking Opera. So maybe Chun-Li's taste in music have always been mild-mannered, and only with the grounded intensity that came from the performances resembling combat. Very much how her old themes sound like.

 

Maybe I see a bit of myself in Chun-Li too. As I get older, I'm finding I'm not a big a fan as the EDM/Electronic music genre that has been popularized by this generation, and I've always stuck with the music that has made me feel close to myself, or stuff that I resonate with.

That doesn't mean Dee Jay's music is bad, oh far from it. He's a professional whose vibe seems to capture all of the hearts he performs in front of. 

 

All in all, this quote is more insightful of Chun as a character rather than exploring or detailing any kind of relationship that Chun and Dee Jay have.

Yeahh, I kinda agree. I actually like some of the weirder elements and freak characters in SF, but there are limits. Everything in SF to this point has been either through KI powers, tech/ genetic engineering, but a sudden jump to a full on mystical character was a bit drastic, which is more offensive that having a character shift the balance of SF's ceiling was just kinda clumsily tossed aside.

 

I would have vastly preferred the early fan speculation idea that he was an ancient warrior who went full SNH, got sealed up, never dying and was released somehow over the course of the ASF events.

Reality is it may even be the case, as we don't know anything about Necalli origins, awakening or how his body/ki works

 

All we know is that SNH ki can drastically mutate the body even in a life relatively short as Akuma's one, and think about the "what if" Oni version... now let's apply that to a centuries old being like Necalli

Her dad death ruined her youth, her serious attitude is the result of the tragedy she had to go through

It is my headcanon that Chun Li learned Samba as well when she went to study Capoeira.
