Chun Li is such a scrubby character

[Joeycentral]

Tell me why she has super fast walk speed, super safe buttons, and everything she does is super safe? This ♥♥♥♥♥ takes ZERO skill to play!

You made a claim and you refuse to back it up. That tells me you are lying which means you proved my point that she is braindead easy to use.

Bro, just play as her! Have you done that?

Chun Li has pretty high execution, no? Haven't really touched her since release but that's how I felt, and from what I see when fighting her, she's definitely not always safe. I don't get complaining about button mashing though, it's like complaining that somebody always DP's on wake up... just realize that they like to do it and punish it.

What execution does she require that others characters dont?

Look up her Serenity Stance routing, in order not get get blown the ♥♥♥♥ up with non-od fireball poke pressure (which is almost fake without it btw, unless perfectly spaced) I have to do the following.

Pay attention to what attack I'm currently using, spacing, and my opponents tendencies as these dictate if/how i proceed into Serenity Stance. Go into serenity stance, pick the correct exit move, and cancel into kikoken.

So it's something like 2mk, 214+p, lp, 46+lp to actually get a safe fireball without anchoring my character, backing myself into a corner or buffering behind some long ass move.

I can get the same effect with just about any shoto with 2mp/mk and 236+P.

The characters entire kit revolves around bullying people in neutral, which means you actually have to play neutral with her. Almost all of her specials are hit confirm only, she's very meter hungry, and has to make liberal use of her drive gauge to not have ♥♥♥♥ damage.

Insta air lightning kicks are difficult on classic as they have very strict timing. Her big damage combo extensions are difficult to pull off (can't just Ryu that ♥♥♥♥ and drum hp, drc, hk, hp => extend => Level 3 8 billion damage)

Oh and no throw loop and stupid floaty jump that toddlers can consistently AA. Did I mention she's a charge character, with an awkward AA move that disrupts charging when buffered?

Chun Li is one the most execution heavy characters in the game and her rewards are like not great. Of the characters I've played so far which is quite a few shes the single hardest. I don't think she's weak or anything but to call her scrubby just means you don't know what scrubby is.

Dude, you had a hard time with a nasty Chun-Li and are pissed, She’s not a cheap character. She’s just one of the OG legends, and so has evolved to have a unique toolkit. Just play as her for a while and learn how she works and you will know how to counter her BS.

I'm a Chun-Li main. Don't take my word for it. Many in the SF6 forum think I'm scrubby trash, but I will say this. Chun-Li is a solid character and a breath of fresh air BECAUSE she is not cheap. She actually takes skill. That's why I play her.

Skill? Waht skill does she take?

Have you seen how long some her combo strings are? And have you seen the damage scaling on said combos? I’ve seen matches where she does a 12-18 hit combo, then Zangief comes in with a spinning pile driver and does nearly the same damage. Not downplaying Gief, just saying that Chun has a lot of disadvantages like her damage scaling. Hey, do you watch Snake Eyez? I once heard him troll his chat saying Chun was scrubby lul

Chun-Li is one of the LEAST scrubby characters in SF6. In fact, there's not a single SF game where she's noob friendly

[SpiralD]

Ngl i know what op is talking about.
You gotta guess her intentions whenever she shimmy walks coz shes so dam fast.
It's so unfair its unreal.

Ken\Akumas do this too.

Nerfed walk speed too much. Now she is low tier.

They only nerfed her back walk speed, she's not low tier either that's ridiculous. She's like A-/B+

IDK the fact she can just mash buttons that are all way better than my character's AND be safe when doing so tells me otherwise.

I read op as chubby and was confused.

Why do you keep saying she can mash and her offense is safe when you don't actually know her frame data.

Do you even know what safe means, if she is mashing out of most of her kit her offense is no longer safe because only 5mp is + on block, everything else is negative.

Pick better buttons to contest her, or hold that ♥♥♥♥ and get washed.

I used a question mark which means it was a question/requesting confirmation.

I wanted her to be my main when I first started and many people say she requires execution which I'd have to agree because ever since switching to Ryu and Gief I've had a lot more success.
