Chun-Li in Street Fighter 5: Moves, Tricks and Combos

Playing with Chun-Li may be interesting for less experienced players. The fighter is very versatile both for a short or long distance approach. In case of doubt, just use your famous “rain kick” style to gain a little more time in a showdown.

1. Tips for playing with Chun-Li

As stated before, the character is a good option for both ranged and melee combat. If you prefer to attack from afar, you can use Kikoken (similar to a Hadouken) to pressure your opponent. There are those who use the coup to shorten distance as well.

The average distance may be the best positioning attack for the Chinese. At this distance, you can reach opponents more easily using HP, b/f + MP, MK or squatting HK. In addition to these, Chun-Li has a great arsenal of attacks to catch surprise opponents who like air strikes.

Although not ideal for the character, she manages to do relatively well in close combat. If you use this approach, try throwing your opponent forward and then engaging a combo of combos (take a look at the list below).

2. Tips to play against Chun-Li

If you’re playing against Chun-Li, remember that you can counter-attack your Spinning Bird Kick with some combo. If it is fast, it is also possible to avoid being hit in the middle distance with more combos.

It’s not too hard to get away from a Kikoken, but do your best not to be down for long as the fighter is ruthless if he hits you halfway. On your special attacks, be extremely careful with the Hyakuretsukyaku (the “kicking rain”). The blow deals absurd damage and must have a lot of timing to escape.

A character tip to choose against the Chinese wrestler is to use Laura or Cammy, who are also specialists in medium-distance combat. Be aggressive and try to get Chun-Li to deplete your EX Spinning Bird Kick. This will be the perfect opportunity to end the fight soon.
