"Street Fighter 6" has not yet been released, but its popularity is already quite high. Every time a character is updated, it always causes an uproar. The vicissitudes of Ken, the old Gu Lie, the mature and stable Chunli, the perverse and violent spiders, and those new characters with their own characteristics, even watching the promotional video will make us want to try.
Some time ago, Jamie's new look triggered countless discussions among players, and her new provocative action filled the heat. Various god-level illustrators have created a large number of beautiful pictures based on this theme, which will feast the eyes of players who love "Street Fighter".
Who are the most influential female characters in fighting games today? Maybe it's Jamie and Chun-Li! Since the nineties, their status has been difficult to shake!
Similar to Spider Li, Kasugano Sakura, these popular characters have always had less age precipitation than them. After all, Jamie and Chunli have been popular since the game hall until now!
Over the years, we have been paying attention to the image changes of Chun Li in various versions.
When CAPCOM released Street Fighter 3.3, we thought arcade games were at an end and unlikely to see new titles. But I didn't expect that ten years later, "Street Fighter IV" was actually released, and the image of Chunli's thick legs is the biggest highlight of the game, and with her supporting the scene, the popularity will naturally not be less.
Since Street Fighter 2, the topic around Chunli's styling has never been interrupted. As her age and identity continue to change, her outfit is different at each stage.
Today, the editor will reminisce with you about the costumes worn by Chun Li and see what stories are behind them!
Street Fighter TV Animated Version:
Chun-li's combat costume is shorts, which were brainwashed by Vega during this styling period, and the "Miss Shadow" prototype appeared in the later version.
Chun-li's clothing color changed to black after being brainwashed, and there was a piece of metal on her forehead. At this time, even Long and Ken did not dare to underestimate the combat effectiveness.
In fact, "Miss Shadow" has been made during the "Young Street Fighter" period, but this plot and the main line are difficult to match. But fortunately, this bridge was finally placed in "Comic Book Heroes VS Capcom".
In cartoons, Chun-Li has a lot of costume styling. The most classic are slip dresses and dresses. But this attire obviously does not prevail when fighting.
In the end, Chun-Li was captured. However, the Vega Demon King seems to be only interested in dominating the world, and has no other ideas.
Street Fighter 2
Chun Li's most classic look comes from the original version. Interestingly, Chun Li's avatar is wearing a yellow costume. But there is no such skin in the game.
But in the ending, he wore yellow clothes again. Here we can infer that Chunli actually has clothes of this color. But then he may have given up this color, but the avatar and ending have been made and inconvenient to change, so it will be wrong!
In the first 12-player version, the tone of the Chunli blue skin was determined, and the later clothes were changed no matter what, always maintaining the blue style. "Super Street Fighter 2" began with too many colors, at least seven or eight.
"Junior Street Fighter"
Chun Li was still relatively young during this period, wearing sweatpants and a vest. By this time, his father has been killed, and Chun-ri eventually finds Vega, but has no power to defeat him, and is eventually saved by Nash and Gulie.
I didn't particularly like this shape when I saw it for the first time, and I felt no different from passers-by.
But later fanworks made me abandon the idea that Chun-ri was attractive no matter what clothes she changed.
Here we can actually refer to Chun Li's original character in "Young Street Fighter", there are three types.
The first is not wearing pants, the second is still wearing stockings, and the third is wearing pants. But either one looks relatively large! Very suggestive.
Street Fighter IV
In this version, Chun Li's default clothing is the most traditional. However, there are other costumes to choose from, the most classic of which is the black cheongsam. This cheongsam has more and more origins in the comic plot!
After Chun Li was captured by Baroque, he didn't know what kind of psychology he had, and forcibly changed Chun Li into a dress he thought was the most beautiful. This black cheongsam eventually became another skin for Street Fighter IV in addition to the default costume.
This outfit reminds me of the Chinese girl in a cartoon I watched back then: Zena
In the opening screen and ending of "Street Fighter IV" Chunli, we will see Chunli in casual clothes, which is relatively rare! Even the later Street Fighter V couldn't see it.
Street Fighter V
This should be the version with the most skins of all the characters! Chun Li's default outfit will change to a black cheongsam with yellow stripes and add more options.
In the original design, Chun Li had various images such as teachers, cheongsam beauties, sports girls, and shopping girls. But it gave a bell and whistle feeling, and in the end it was canceled.
In the second version of the image, more images were created for Chun Li, and there were even Peking Opera characters. Is this planning to interact with Mi Kyo from "The King of Fighters 14"?
The final version included various elements such as Republican students, teachers, and police. But no matter what the look, matching it with thick legs seems a bit incongruous.
In the story mode, we will see Chun-Li's police appearance, which has actually appeared in the comics many years ago. The Royal Hong Kong Police who appeared in early films.
"Street Fighter V" gives Chun Li's early 2P red costume a new look. Although the color has not changed, it looks a lot more fashionable!
In this version, Chun Li has long let go of herself and dares to challenge any image.
Now that Chun Li's "Street Fighter 6" has come out, almost all of them are praised on the Internet. It seems that this is the most perfect image in the minds of players!
During this time, many "Street Fighter 6" fan pictures appeared on the Internet. To be honest, Capcom's character has been decent for many years, but I didn't expect that in the 6th generation, there were a large number of actions and postures that made players think of wrongdoing, providing material for fan fans.
Look at the early years of "Death or Life", "Soul of the Knife", and "Iron Fist" all used to sell meat as a point of view, and now it seems that CAPCOM wants to achieve corner overtaking!
When we look back on these classic games today, there's always a special emotion mixed in.
Arcade games are not forgotten by age, but are becoming more nostalgic with age.
Perhaps it's not the games that are worth remembering, but the happiest times ever.
