this thread should not exist. anybody who plays chun-li seriously is a scrub. Sorry…the truth hurts.
I don’t think they are necessarily scrubs if they choose to play Chun-Li. I play her every now and then for fun in joke teams although if someone wanted to make a serious team for her, they could get somewhere, probably not too far but you never know. It depends on the skill and and patience. She’s seems to be a toned down version of Rogue so in the right hands and with the right assist partners, she can do some damage.
I’ve used her as the battery/point in Chun Li-B/Cable-B/TBonne-Y, and worked with her until the point where I’ve OCVd arcade regulars with her (although that’s probably due to mixing anyone with Tron, as opposed to Chun Li herself being very good). It’s yet another rush-down/cross-over death team. She’s not very good, though - she doesn’t do near enough damage by herself, her combos aren’t very damaging, and her supers are largely a waste of meter. The only things she’s got going for her against good players are that she’s pretty easy to cross-up and advance with (3x jump, air dash, quick overhead [ax kick], slow overhead [neckbreaker]) and her AA assist keeps them in hit stun until almost the top of the super jump screen. You can work with her still if that’s your deal, but you’ve got your work cut out for you.
Hey, Zach. I play Chun-Li/Tron as well, although I play with Morrigan in the middle. I agree with you about her damage. It seems that she so lacks in that dept. severly but has pretty good tactics with the rushdown/cross-up techniques. I do have a question though, does anyone have any other way to link her ground kick super in? I just link with the Tron assist or if Chun is alone, I do c.lp, c.mp, c.hk xx Kick Super but it’s too risky since it’s rollable.
ChunLi is an assist character in this game. A majority of her moves will get snuffed by most of the top tiers easily. Her AAA is without a doubt, the best of her assists.
However, if you are using her as your point character, you will have to use her main strengths to win, which is speed and mobility while abusing a really strong covering assist and constantly doing a rushdown. Super jumping is a vulnerability for ChunLi because she doesn’t have anything dominating while super jumping. I find that she is much more effective if the match is kept at regular jumping heights, thus allowing her to use her triple jump and air dashes quicker.
Many ChunLi traps would be based on abusing her air dash to produce traps in much the same fashion as Stryder/Doom traps. One trap that is pretty solid is Storm’s projectile assist while ChunLi is air dashing over the opponent and using either LLs for chip or a kikoken to push them back and give you sometime to call Storm again to abuse the trap again. You could use Psylocke’s AAA assist for this as well, but the timing on the call is a little more tight than the Storm assist. Anyone with a multi-hit assist would work here.

Hey, I’ve been experimenting with Chun/[wildcard]/Sent-drones for awhile. Anyone care to suggest a second character on this team not named Storm? Also, I’ve been using team boobies (Morrigan/Chun/Psylocke all-AAA) and I wonder if this will turn out right. What do you think?
And yes, this is only for casual and shits and giggles. I’d be damned if sucky ol’ me will be in a tourney anytime soon 
Morrigan/Chun/Psy is fun. That team was my first one when I played Marvel after the characters were unlocked.
They’re okay together. I have to go do some things, but I’ll post some strats with them later tonight.

People shouldn’t play Chun-Li. Playing Chun makes your hair gray.
Work hella hard for a combo that does 15% damage on a good day, then get it wasted away when the player hits you with one normal attack.
I just call Doom/Sent assist and spaz all over anyone who doesn’t get the “jump back and block and call AAA” principle.
Anyway, Chun AAA sets up Blackheart infinite really, really well.
Haha, thanks rik, I wondered when this would get bumped. I figured out the ‘Chun = not worth it’ part while waiting for a response. =p Mind answering the BBHood query I have on that particular board?
Any specific Chun-Li vs. Cable/sent- y or cable/commando -b strategies?
primary assists would be Sentinel -a, -y or Tron
