Chun-Li is Capcom's iconic Street Fighter character and basically the blueprint for female fighting game protagonists. She debuted in Street Fighter II as the game's sole female fighter, breaking ground as the first woman in a mainstream fighting game roster.
She's never been the hardest hitter in a fight—her real strength is speed. Fans often cite her lightning-quick footwork and combo potential as what sets her apart, especially compared to the slower, more powerful characters around her. Her signature move is the Hyakuretsukyaku (the "Lightning Kick"), an absolutely relentless barrage of kicks that she performs from a tilted stance. It's visually wild and has become her calling card across the entire series.
