Chun Li General Thread: Blue Jade

Backdash > v-skill > j.mk, st.mp, cr.mk xx h.LL > backdash and repeat. If they block don’t do the LL. worked for me up until round 47. I lost on 49 and 50 before I finally got my lime green color.

Before this next week, I am going to see if I can get those alternate costume colors to maximize Chun Li’s sexiness. Yes.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try

Hey Bman I will add u when I get home

in basic terms of general playstyle how do you guys like to play chun? I am a chun main but i am just starting to realize that i reallly like to turtle. Doesnt matter what character i am, or even which game i am playing, i like to play defensively and turtle.

Do you guys think a turtle chun can work? do you turtle or do you try to rushdown/pressure, or do something else.

Basically im just wondering if turtle chun works and also what kind of style do people consider themselves as if they had to choose something? or what kind of character do you consider chun li to be.

This is where the beauty of the character shows the most: You don’t have to limit yourself with a small bag of tricks.

IMO a defensive chun works better than an offensive one… For one simple reason:

Offensive chun doesn’t really have the greatest of ways to get point blank to the opponent.

Her dash is… Ok. It’s the fastest in the game but lacks range… And range is what’s needed. So you will have to double dash or even triple dash to get in a lot of times… And that means you are leaving yourself wide open for fireballs and counter pokes.

However chun also isn’t the greatest from far range… She has no skills besides her lp kikoken that reach fullscreen.

So where is her best range? Midrange. Use her dash to get to midrange and you now have a whole lot of threats:

Dash into a poke or dash to get in.
Jump to get in.
V skill to get in.
H fireball to poke.
Backdash or jump backwards to setup a bit of far ranged game.
St.hp to punish people that are trying to move close to you.
Anti air is perfect at midrange with her st.lk.
Instant air legs to cover both air and ground directly in front of her.

Midrange to me is just inside or outside her st.hp range. At that range she can choose to either be offensive with a forward dash, defensive with a backdash, or kinda neutral and just keep her distance and pester with st.hp and fireballs and jab fakes.

Midrange is her most versatile position by far. And most matchups in the game are best fought at this range for her, with subtle differences in spacing and tactics used as per the matchup.

You can definitely play her offensively… You’ll just have a difficult time turning neutral into offense if that’s all you are constantly going for imo.

Whereas midrange is the easiest range to get to in the game… But also the easiest position to make mistakes at.

Any tips to doing the cr. lp st.mp cr.mk into sbk? I think I’m having trouble with getting the charge time since nothing comes out after the links

It’s really hard. Immediately after st.MP begin charging try to cr.MK as late as you can and try to cancel cr.MK as late as you into SBK.

Just got done watching a few video from another Chun Li thread.
Just learned that you could jab Karin out of Ressenha before even finishes the attack on her landing. Chun Li’s j.MP causes a knockdown instead of a air reset… hm…

jMP + air legs = Combo

But there are faster buttons to press air to air

Chun players using her in SF4 where she’s stiff, has bad match ups left and right, lacks damage and isn’t worth the effort in 90% of matches = Ughhh she needs buffs! Nothing she has is scary.

Chun players using her in SF5 where she’s dynamic, versatile, fun, and the complete package = She’s so boring. I miss ST/A2 chun :frowning:

People just don’t like having power lol. Chun is so very fun in this game compared to SF4 imo.

When u lost, did you rinse and repeat the same strategy?

Yea I still used it on bison at round 49 but sometimes if he’s chasing you down, it won’t work. Necalli you can’t do it against at round 50 cause he just dps you all day. Got to stay grounded for him.

Good channel to sub to, no point linking every vid just go sub to it (I’ll post this in the vid thread to)

Just go to the channel from this and sub

Whose Chun is this?

What did you do against Necalli then?

Its Cojiros YouTube Channel

Agreed. I’m like Vergil. I want that power.
Chun Li has it. Fellow Chun Li players should commence to whoopin’ ass online and offline with this power.

Tooting the shit outta my own horn with all the Chun talk now.

To which some dude @You said:

I’m touching myself right now.

I never complained about Chun in SF4 i felt she was viable and strong without been unbalanced and I thought she was scary in 4 lol. Atm in 5 shes very good but not as much fun as in 4 :frowning:
