So You Want to Learn Chun-Li... | Road to Master

[@jaimerios6191]

Feel like at the end of the videos, you should give your general first impression and how they feel to play. Maybe some insight on what you struggled or what you liked most about the character would be nice so people can get a general idea of what to expect if they decide to main them.

[@javianbrown8627]

I wish I had that when I decided to pick her up in SFV, didn't expect her to be as hard when I swapped from Karin.

[@TheSoulCrisis]

@@javianbrown8627 I main Zangief and play Guile and Chun-Li as secondaries, she has been the most complex and technical character for me no doubt! You really gotta master her buttons, combos, anti-airs, and general strategies around space control, pokes, and footsies.

[@KEVTOVENTHETHIRD]

breaking down chun's moves in the beginning was very appreciated, it makes learning the game wayy easier. if a possible vid series of character's buttons and gameplans would be awesome

[@miloquinn2478]

Something worth noting about Chun Lis stance normals is that you can cancel any special from them regardless of if you've charged them or not. Just do the special input after the normal connects.

[@ObeyaCorpsArmory]

so you can do stance > lk > sbk without charging?

[@miloquinn2478]

@@ObeyaCorpsArmory Yes, exactly.

[@ChangeTheFate249]

This was so helpful. Made my stance into spinning bird kicks so much more consistent.

[@miloquinn2478]

@ChangeTheFate249 I'm glad! It opens up so many combo routes and even makes her pressure very strong.

[@bobertbaratheon5603]

You're a legend for mentioning this advice, bless you

[@WoWisdeadtome]

Something I learned about JP's "ghost" projectiles... You see how they sort of attack you when you get close, if you move through them quickly enough you can beat them to their active frames and they whiff. Blanka is considered an early counter to JP because H. Blanka ball is very good at doing that and goes full screen. Drive rush slide also goes stupid far to get Blanka in on JP.

[@nss_ethan]

It's like an activation box you can avoid if your character has a good enough dash or drive rush or mobility special

[@agtune]

Short comment on the two combos starting at 5:04 The damage difference between the two combos is literally 16 points. Not sure if 16 more damage is worth the more complicated combo route :D

[@betrugovic821]

Thank you, for making these guides Nephew!

[@WoWisdeadtome]

I've gotten stand cancel into L. SBK from cr. LP, cr. LP, st. LK xx L. SBK. Did it accidentally the first time by pushing LK too early while moving to up. Not sure you want to rely on that if you're too far for three LPs, but it's there.

[@1000Tomatoes]

Definitely don't feel like the stance is as difficult as people seem to think. Mainly because it isn't really used in neutral, so mainly what you have to learn is combo/pressure stuff which is less improvisational than footsies. Could just be too early though.

[@NamelessDjinn]

Agreed, hardly any reason to ever do it in neutral

[@1000Tomatoes]

@@NamelessDjinn Interestingly I'm seeing some chuns, like Valmaster, start to use it, but it still seems pretty limited.

[@MrBones105]

@@1000Tomatoesit’s occasionally useful as like a “what are you doing” kind of thing to mess with people but yeah it’s not necessarily…”strong”

[@jrg305]

It's meter less damage the stance and is also a way to avoid drive impact since it cancels the recovery of some of her more punishable neutral loves, so flipping into it and waiting is worth it in footsies...but if you go try to drive impact you get hit. Can also get the strongest anti air combos out of it which people don't expect. And her forward heavy kick is like a drive impact crumple stun as a punish counter against airborne.

[@trentonbowen9071]

Really enjoyed the video! I do have a question though. It didn't really seem like you used the stance moves that often. Is it because it doesn't really fit into Chun's gameplan or are they just more useful for poke? Just curious.

[@Leung-fy4ec]

Hey! what is a good starter Chun-li combo?? I'm a total SF noob and need a basic combo to start practicing for Chun? tyty :)

[@quarium5681]

try landing crouching medium kick into spinning bird kick while poking at your opponent, you can also do standing light punch into crouching light punch (begin holding down immediately as you throw the first punch so you have charge ready) then do spinning bird kick, Another simple but damaging one is landing a combo into OD spinning bird kick, wich can easily combo into heavy tensho kicks! start out simple like that and slowly add more to your combos as you go. The main trick is that you can charge (hold down, back or down-back) while doing practically anything to have your charge specials ready to go when landing hits, it takes a while to get used to but you can do it!

[@TheSuperyan06]

How does Serenity Stance play into her footsie neutral game? Does it low profile projectiles?

[@1000Tomatoes]

I believe it does low profile most projectiles by default, especially if you're using the slide. However, I think the impression that many people took away from the beta was that the stance was mainly a combo/pressure tool than a neutral tool. It could change as people discover stuff in the future though.

What do you do against JP now?

[@PharmArtist99]

Feel like she should have at least one overhead mix up for combos. Most people block low and can interrupt her overhead special since its a very slow animation.

[@fatapollo1557]

She has three overheads

[@PharmArtist99]

@@fatapollo1557 which of those can be done during midscreen play, Without a setup after knockdown. The lotus stance overhead is not ideal unless opppnent is knocked down. The diagonal input is good but you can't combo off it directly. Hazanshu is beatable by low jabs mid animation so that's not viable against most opponents. Heavily reliant on crouching medium kick for best combo routes. Other characters have this route and more mix ups. I just think she's different in this game.

[@limmel3588]

I love Chun but I can't get used to the charge mechanic. It just doesn't click in my brain to charge during links/combos. Once i reach plat with Ken, I'll put more time with her

​@Hikari Doing even simple BnBs requires you to cancel into stance, often off of a back fierce. The timing is strict and needing to, not only dial in a 214, but then also the proper follow up all within a tiny cancel window is, especially for a player like myself who had never had strong execution, almost impossible.

@@thefractalcactus I'm not the best in terms of execution but I main Chun Li and I don't find her BnBs complicated. The only requirement is the bird stance for a light or medium kick but it's not a complicated input and the timing isn't bad either.

I don't understand how you got SBK after crouch jab twice into standing jab. I have to let go of down to do the stand jab which negates the charge?

It doesn't negate the charge if you do it fast enough. There's a slight time frame where you can stand up, input a normal attack and cancel it into the special move you were charging, in this case: Up + Kick.
