Chun-Li

"Chun-Li Kicks It Up A Notch!"

Chun-Li is a protagonist in the Street Fighter series, debuting 1991's Street Fighter II and becoming a mainstay of the franchise.

She is also a playable character in Nexed.

Real-World History
While designing characters for Street Fighter II, designer Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, was tasked to create a female fighter for the game. This would become Chun-Li; Yasuda modeled her original design after Tao from Genma Wars: Harmagedon. This intial design gave Chun-Li baggy pants and a front and back apron, as well as her defining thighs (which were meant to symbolize Chun-Li's determination). However, this was scrapped after Yasuda decided that it was not "very sexy" and lacked personality. After experimenting with Chun-Li's design, she would eventually end up with her most iconic design, which was used in Street Fighter II, her debut appearance.

Chun-Li is notable for being the first female fighter in a standard 1v1 fighting game and became popular among players upon Street Fighter II's release. She would go on to become a mainstay in the Street Fighter franchise, appearing in every mainline entry since II, as well as many spinoffs and alternate forms of media (including the self-titled film Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li). She has also appeared to represent Steet Fighter in crossover games such as Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Fortnite.
