What is the likelihood of Chun Li winning Capcom Cup?

[Joeycentral]

My prediction is that Chun Li will be this year's million dollar character. I think she will win because she is very underrated and in the right hands, she is unstoppable.

Do you think she will win Capcom Cup and if not, who do you think will win?

Chun has yet to even qualify for Capcom Cup. Most pros have dropped her. I think Val still plays her. Leshar moved on to Ed. Theres Moke. Maybe GO1 pockets her at some point.

Last year I barely missed with Chris Wong and his Luke. Way to early to pick now but I think Chun is viewed as a long shot.

[FAT WANZER]

that's a long shot considering most of the chun li either goes to switch to Juri or is now playing a main with Pocket bisons

[Castyles]

Not that I actually care but here's my predictions, because I'n bored and why the hell not: Cammy, Ken or Bison.

I can say with complete certainty, that as of 11/23/24 there is a 0% chance of Chun-Li winning Capcom Cup.

Whatever happened to hating Chun-Li?

Anyway, right now only one Chun-Li player has qualified for Capcom Cup through regional qualifiers, who uses her as his tertiary character, and I give that player an icecube's chance in hell of making it out of the group phase. So unless Valmaster or Moke still manage to qualify through Kings of the World in London in three weeks, or Valmaster experiences a miracle in the French qualifiers (Moke is already out of the running for being the Japan regional qualified player), there is basically no chance of seeing a Chun-Li in Capcom Cup's grand finals. And you probably won't even see one in top 16.

That said, so far SF6's competitive life has been one of upsets and surprises so who knows, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

You have a better chance of aliens landing on the white house lawn and challenging us to a breakdancing competition.

In other words a 1 out of 3 chance.

There was a day, after playing the game for months, that I watched Moke on YouTube.
That was the day I (almost) dropped playing any other character. I'm Gold. I don't care what is her place in the tier lists. I'm in love.

[Peddie]

For 99.99% of us the tier lists don't matter anyway. Feel free to play whoever you think is cool, cute, fun to use or whatever other qualifier makes you gravitate towards a character.

Chun Li isn't winning anything, she isn't sleeper S anymore, is not underrated, and is nowhere near unstoppable.

I think it's going to be Akuma or Cammy, maybe Bison.

[Peddie]

Hey now, can't sleep on Ed or Rashid because having a level 2 that's as good as your level 3 is kinda busted.

[Peddie]

I mean of the 29 qualified Capcom Cup players so far we already have three Rashid mains, those being Oil King, Dual Kevin and Big Bird. Gachikun is also pretty consistently a menace, getting third place at this year's Capcom Cup with him and is doing well enough in the standings in the Japanese regional qualifiers that he could secure yet another ticket to Capcom Cup.

If Chun can't win any tourneys, she can always make it on OF.

As much as I love Chun-Li in this game, I hope no one wins with her on a big tournament. She'll just get nerfed again.

Yep, Chun always seems to attract the nerf bat harder than the rest of the cast.

[Peddie]

I would hope that Capcom has enough sense to not nerf a character because they won a singular tournament.
