Strategies for Chun-Li
Players of Street Fighter 6 who want to make the most of Chun-Li’s abilities should adopt a well-rounded strategy that makes use of both her offensive and defensive options. Chun-Li’s powerful main character status comes from her ability to attack and defend with whiff punishes and lunges.
Carefully consider whiff punishment. Chun-Li’s quick reflexes make her particularly effective at counterattacks. You can use her footwork to bait the enemy into making mistakes, which you can then capitalize on with a Spinning Bird Kick or other jumping move.
Promote aerial battles. Provoke the enemy and send them flying. Aerial opponents can be devastated by Chun-Li’s Tensho Kicks, Soaring Eagle Punches, and Aerial Hundred Lightning Kicks, all of which can also be used to set up combos.
The defeated foe should be pursued. There is a lot of resistance to Chun-Li’s blows. Take advantage of the Okizeme openings by using her dash or Drive Rush to close the distance. (Be careful not to deplete her Drive Gauge too quickly, though; Chun-Li’s most lethal combos come from Overdrive or supercharged attacks).
Alter your posture to throw off your opponent. Both Falling Crane and Serenity Stream are effective in fooling an opponent who is on guard. The cross-up used in Falling Crane not only deals harm to the opponent but also causes them to shift their stance. However, Chun-Li’s Serenity Stream is a sitting stance that improves her six major attacks and increases her move pool.
How to Counter Chun-Li
Chun-Li is vulnerable to close-range grapplers like E. Honda, Zangief, and Marisa due to her lack of throw loops. But if players can keep her at a distance, they can use long-range zoners like JP and Dhalsim to deal with her.
Chun-Li is one of the best whiff punishers, therefore fighting against her demands careful planning. In order to counter Chun-Li, her opponent must be able to read her moves and avoid making any mistakes.
Pros and Cons of Playing as Chun-Li
In Street Fighter 6, Chun-Li is a top-tier playable character. She’s a powerful midranger with reliable pokes, devastating combos, and bulletproof anti-airs. However, Chun-Li is a very technical choice who is quite vulnerable at long range.
Pros
- Not dangerous prodding.
- Objective power.
- The whipping offenders.
- The advantage of motion.
- Lethal normal-to-Special transitions.
Cons
- Exposure to projectiles.
- Promote the use of Rush.
- The inputs are delayed and charged.
