Chun-Li is Walkin' Fast in Street Fighter 6 (Character Overview)

[@alexanderdenison2950]

I think its worth mentioning that after medium spinning bird kick you actually don't have to spend meter at all to get good oki, you can just dash and then walk up and get a legit meaty throw meterless if you learn the timing which isn't too hard imo. There isn't a single character who can backwalk it even if they back tech.

[@razorback3358]

Really loving the character overviews :)

[@soshi202]

I’ve been learning Chun for a bit now, and watching your streams has helped a lot. Thanks

[@HanMasho]

Chun's the character I've been messing around with too, and I'm liking her quite a bit. Her stance mechanic is an amazing addition to her previous moveset, her normals and air-options are incredible, and her combos are really fun.

[@Evilj82]

As a Chun main, I knew Chun Li would rise after Evo and have been preaching about her strength for weeks. I’m just hoping they don’t nerf her.

[@abesmith115]

It's been interesting to see the general reaction to classic characters like Ryu, Ken and Chun-li

[@alexferrier5732]

As a Chun Main I'm afraid too, that for some dumb reason they nerf her, she doesnt have anything that warrants a nerf. She is the perfect character in my opinión, she isnt too stronk like the top 5 that everyone would Say I'm getting carried and would bore me to play as, but she also isnt so weak that I Will feel every Match is an uphill battle. She is perfectly balanced and is what all the characters should strive to be. A fun, strong (but not OP) rewarding character. If capcom takes any of that away, I'm jumping ship into another fun, strong not OP rewarding character, is that simple. But for now, Chun is the perfect character for me.

[@DjVanHeb]

To me she is the most fair/balanced character out of the good ones. She doesn't have anything as good as every top tier have. Like, you have to play solid with her.

[@nocandoslurms433]

Yeah, she's solid A tier. I hope they don't nerf or buff her.

[@braydenlawson5369]

They'll probably buff some of the bottom tier characters before they nerf anyone. I dont think any of the top 10 characters including chun are broken.

[@Saint.Cosmos]

Oh my god. I've been playing Chun since day one and I was today years old when I realized you don't have to charge during your stance. Sheesh.

[@antonsimmons8519]

I got two characters into plat thus far. The first is Blanka(holding plat 3, currently), and the second is Chun(just broke plat today), and this version of her is, imo, the most FUN she's ever been. Also, idk how she tiers or whatever, but she really seems good to me. She has an answer for pretty much everything, you know?

[@geneticjen9312]

Lol I have Chun and Blanka in plat too and I only got Blanka that high because he's so damn fun

[@noahgreen3386]

she does have an answer for everything, i think she's been going under the radar bc early on in a game it's better to be the one asking the questions yanno

[@paulanderson24]

Broke into plat with her myself after Ken. Having a more traditional DP is a great move for her and no more mashing for lightning kicks at all is amazing. In haven’t even really experimented with her stance yet

[@CJ-wh7ik]

Her stance is a gimmick aka useless. She has everything average. Her buttons, supers and specials are OK. Her movement speed makes her appear better and more fluid for many people. If you like it that's great but she's not top tier

[@geneticjen9312]

@@CJ-wh7ik I love her stance. More options. Most importantly, in a few years I think we'll see the importance of going into stance then right back out again. I don't see nearly enough Chuns online using stance for corner mix ups. I only see it used in combos. You can do some deceptive stuff

[@StepanCaveman]

Chun player here. I'd recommend to spend a bit of meter in your BNBs. OD SBK is invaluable, when the combo ends in the corner (OD SBK, LK legs, HK kicks - for damage, or OD SBK, 2x stomp, j.HP-HP for a safe jump (or a super)). And in neutral you can keep the oki, while gaining extra damage with OD SBK into LK SBK.

[@sialiasialis.]

Can you tell me the timing on Chun's safejump? I can get the first hit of j.HP out but I just hit the ground too fast after that.

[@keylockmvp]

thanks for the breakdown

[@SlimeKingK]

Plat 3 with Chun ( well, re-climbing from 2 because that’s how I work apparently) but combos are complicated but fun. I gotta perfect more things, clean things up. But yeah. I think this is my fav Chun-li.

[@trapdoorbeaver]

"this might kill" mandela effect will it kill alternate title

[@ghostblade1042]

I main Chun on Plat4, and I LOVE PLAYING HER. To me Chun’s buttons are god like. The character is good and consistent. Threatening neutral, Tons of options to deal with everything, god buttons, downright lowkey broken move properties. The only thing i feel which is her biggest weakness is that her heavy and medium buttons are downright TRASH against Drive impact. Bad hitstops, so if opponent spam drive impact forget about ur heavy buttons, condition them first, 9 out of 10 times I can’t react to DI but when i change to other character I CAN REACT FOR SOME REASON . But rather than that SUPER SOLID STRONG ASS CHARACTER.

[@TruthAndReconciliation]

I don’t play chun, but are you sure the moves you’re using are cancelable into drive impact in the first place? You can always get caught by a DI if you’re throwing out slow uncancellable moves

[@ghostblade1042]

@@TruthAndReconciliation the heavies one are uncancelable except 2hp which is also tight af. They can be cancel into stance but will still lose to DI. Medium buttons hitstops are just hot trash. You don’t feel like it slow DI down even a frame so it’s unreactable. When other character get so much hitstop you could run to supermarket and back to press DI in time. It’s just weakness of the character, she is not bad. In fact she is really solid character, got everything, goddess of neutral, swiss army knife arsenal. That’s why i love playing her. She is super fun

[@sirwilczek1813]

The hitstop of medium buttons is trash cause Capcom didnt want her to have massive cancel windows this time 😔

[@PundogThrillionaire]

Alternative title: This is why Chun didn't get a throw loop

[@ahnixcreations]

But JP can have one? 💀💀💀

[@alexanderdenison2950]

@@ahnixcreations Dude I play JP as a secondary and everytime I throw loop somebody with him I just get mad that chun doesn't have one lmao, to make things worse JP's throw is plus 24 which means its plus enough to do a meaty command grab or DI in the corner to beat delay tech while also covering other options (like Di covering jump/ certain reversals, both options beat mashing) meanwhile we can't even drive rush and meaty with a light without trading with chun at our measly +11 😭

[@ahnixcreations]

@@alexanderdenison2950even if it was +12 instead it would be a big difference bc then she could at least get DR 2LK which gives tick throw or frame trap, but just being able to get a meaty 2HP or a 2MK feels so bad Edit: I do want to mention, if your opponent knows to mash 4F against your drive rush, 5LP has enough hitstun that you can trade combo

[@alexanderdenison2950]

@ahnixcreations exactly! I think it's kinda crazy that even if she spends the meter she doesn't get a guaranteed situation there. Meanwhile some characters like luke can drive rush after their throw and get another strike throw situation midscreen on top of having a legit throw loop in the corner.

[@jchan59]

im surprised you didn't go over her st. neutral mp. its +1 on block and can link into her cr. mp

[@patricklorran1960]

What I like about Chun is how versatile she's. Sometimes I see someone like GO1 or haitani playing and I get a bit frustrated cause I'm not playing cool like them, but I'm not as good as they're. It's unfair to compare, I like to play her cause how dominant she's on the mid range game, how she bullies scrubs that plays recklessly, so I enjoy my own simpler play style

[@gcavrubio]

Chun-Li is really a great character. I have been alternating between my main, Jamie, and her. She feels much more complex.

[@GuyWithAnAmazingHat]

Chunli seems to be the most complex character and I'm not big brain enough to play her even though I'm interested. Even Haitani's modern style is just as complex.

[@meethepie]

Honestly, she's not as hard as she looks. I was really intimidated learning her but now that I've invested some time into her I unironically find her easier to play than Ken. She has some really, really privileged tools and buttons (that she pays for by not having a throw loop).

[@jerry3115]

chun li is nowhere near as complex as, say, JP

[@antonsimmons8519]

Chun is actually really easy to pick up, because sticking to basics and playing with fundamentals and short combos you won't flub or drop is actually HEAVILY rewarded by her kit and frame data. You can deal with everything with her, because she has answers to pretty much everything, so she's really a sword: easy to learn, crazy to master.

[@lukeblaker8009]

​@@jerry3115jp isn't complex at all lol, he has a few hard combos but besides that his neutral is braindead easy, he has a move for every situation and his zoning is absurd

[@Th3Sh1n1gam1]

​@@lukeblaker8009I'd say jp's zoning and some bnb combos are easy, but his max damage and neutral are very hard. Most of the time you can break down the average JP player by just playing the midrange where he can't fireball or hit you with his st hp.

[@99nikniht]

Her 5mp and 2mk are cracked. Both are great pokes and they can be special/DI cancelable.

[@Mene0]

After any SBK if they dont back roll you can meaty standing Mp or back Hp. It's free and easy to do, just dash up and press

[@Juicetey]

Would love a Cammy overview

[@javianbrown8627]

Only character I've played since launch and even my friends keep saying they still don't know the matchup cuz I keep learning new things lol

[@bigdunks4eva]

Can you explain how people implement her serenity stance into combos?

[@parli_poo11]

you have to execute it mid combo. For example after 4HP, you do 214P LK to do the next LK. That's what makes it complicated but once you get use to it it's not that bad.

[@speed_poet]

Oooooh that SBK, whifff cr mp into back hp meaty or plus on block is really gonna level up my game. Oh thats nasty Hehehe

[@KrustyEARS]

So how tight is the timing between back h.p into serenity then m.k? I've been trying that but compared to yours, where I dont even see the serenity pose animation, I have the animation come when I can do the kick. Was I too slow? Getting a lot of insights from your video. I've played fighting games casually before, but SF6 was the one I got truly invested in. And that's how I found your channell. Cheers!

[@1000Tomatoes]

You input the stance followup almost immediately after inputting stance

[@ahnixcreations]

@@1000TomatoesI think that advice is a little dicey since if you buffer it too early, it’ll give you hazanshu. Personally, I think it’s easier timing to do buffer stance tiny pause and then LK.

[@ramiel5628]

currently around gold level with marisa and chun feels like a really tough matchup, could i ask for a little advice?

[@rect7840]

In gold I think it's more about limiting your own mistakes rather than matchup specifics.

[@antonsimmons8519]

Chun looks fancy, but she actually mostly isn't. She is a fundamentals character, who wants you to be in a hurry. Bait her specials and the big buttons she wants to hit you with. Rush her down, but be careful and watch while you do it. She breaks easy under pressure, even better since you can bait dp. Also, something I've used against others and has been used against me: fireball war can be won via DI. Get her to throw a medium or heavy one, you can hit her with DI through it. I'm playing at plat 1 with Chun right now, and the only Marisa players I'm having issues with are the ones who are careful.

[@hoboayoyo]

Cool cool cool. No doubt no doubt. You uh, planning on a cammy video?

[@NamekJedi]

Is it just me or are none of her anti airs very consistent?

[@ThePlasticBowl]

s. MK is very good you just have to be ready and I don’t think you get much off of it. Up kicks is great too but the down down motion kinda sucks and while isn’t impossible to do on reaction to a jump it’s very tough. Also if they’re too predictable with jumps she has an air throw.

[@shaolinprince777]

What controller do you play with?

[@bigdunks4eva]

I'm ashamed to admit this but...I CANNOT drive rush! It's so stupid, I mean the inputs are simple, but I RARELY get it to work, and never before randomly parrying halfway across the screen so that my opponent knows what I'm doing.🙄. It's so annoying, I also can't do many combos either, I've been able to get most characters to gold just with basic fighting, but the game is more of a chore then fun 😒

@@samihookings8241 I switched characters once each one reached gold. I just got ryu to platinum. Now I'm back with Zangief

[@samihookings8241]

@@bigdunks4eva try and really take the time to understand, practice and learn a single character you like the look of. Combos aren’t easy to pull off, it takes time and lots of practice. Start small with some simple 3 or 4 hit combos, like cammys light punch into spiral arrow, or simple shoryuken confirms. Once you get the hang of it then start practicing simple bread and butters off your other buttons. I’m plat 3 with cammy now, I didn’t start implementing drive rush and more intricate combos until I was about 30 hours in lol. Learning 2d fighters is like learning an instrument, don’t expect quick results. But consistency and practicing techniques will pay off in the long term. I hope you don’t give up on the game because I promise, once you improve you’ll be sucked in, it really is a lot of fun seeing yourself get better. I’d be happy to help or play with you sometime, have a good one bro.

[@bigdunks4eva]

@@samihookings8241 thanks for the advice. oh I love the game, and I have over 1300 matches lol! I'm pretty good at fighting with very basic play. It's just that I'm getting older and my reflexes aren't that great anymore. I've been playing this game like it's SF 2 🤣. It also took me a good while to adjust to the drive impact mechanic and even throws off all things, because back in the day, there was no drive impact and my and my buddies banned throws lol. So when I first started playing SF6 drive impacts and throw loops would kill me because I wasn't used to them... I've started using practice mode to learn stuff and I definitely learn alot about the fighters when I get wrecked in mirror matches online lol.

[@trialsjack007]

Somehow I got Chun into diamond after practicing for only 15 minutes, while my best characters are only in silver, so safe to say that I’m studying the character hard rn
