Chun Li
CHARACTER OVERVIEW:
Unlike many of the other contestants, Chun Li has not entered the tournament for personal glory. Instead she has been tracking the movements of an international smuggling operation known as Shadaloo. The trail has led her to the tournament and she now believes that one of the Grand Masters may have been responsible for the disappearance of her father. Stunned by her good looks, opponents often underestimate Chun Li's ability and find themselves flattened by a few well placed kicks. Chun Li's quest for justice guides her life, but at heart she is still a young girl who yearns to live a normal life. As a respected and well known television newscaster, there is a lot more to Chun Li than her good looks. Her heart burns with vengeance as she vows to take down the evil General Bison, the man who destroyed her father years before. She has traveled the world with her "bodyguard" friends, Edmond Honda and former Street Fighter turned Mercenary Balrog, gathering information on Bison and perfecting her martial arts skills, while planning his final defeat and masking her anger with an innocent face. After the Shadaloo incident, she became a member of Escher's Street Fighter operation.

THOUGHTS ON THE CHARACTER:
An extremely well developed character, Chun Li's backstory is quite interesting and her design is quite adorable. Ming-Na Wen was an excellent Chun Li. She moves and behaves like the character. And, just like the character, her outfit and hairstyle are quite adorable. She doesn't do any of her special moves, but her standard moves (jump kick and slap punch) are quite accurate to the game. Her cartoon appearance keeps the adorability, but adds a little bit of seductiveness, which is neat. Donna Yamamoto gives a very energetic and passionate performance as Chun Li. A very popular character among Street Fighter fans, Chun Li will always appeal to an audience with her backstory and endearing design.
