Chun-Li, Streetfighter II And More

Chun-Li is one of the most influential female game characters of all time. Chun-Li first appeared in Streetfighter II in 1991, becoming one of the earliest prominent female action heroes in video games. As the only female playable character in Streetfighter II, she displayed amazing quickness and downed foes with her signature "Lightning Legs" attack. She's also thirsty for vengeance as she tracks down the evil M. Bison, who killed her father. A sexy street fighter, Chun-Li is an immortal video game
Pros: One of the first great video game heroines, Chun-Li's got killer legs, and she knows how to use them.
Cons: She caused an uproar with her infamous nude shower scene in "Streetfighter II: the Animated Movie," and hasn't been in very many good games since.
Was Played By: Ming-Na starred as Chun-Li in the 1994 "Streetfighter" movie, but a new film is being developed for 2008, and I'd love to see Lucy Liu in the role.
