Game Debate to the Death! Zangief VS Chun-Li  photo

My annual trip to Myrtle Beach has left me with lost luggage and a transfer ticket to a propeller plane that looks less powerful than my fork-mangling dishwasher. As soon as I reached the beach I immediately ran out to the sand and carved out my S.O.S. call to the tourist planes above, but by the time I ran up to my condo's room to see how my finger font turned out, someone had changed the distress signal to L.O.L., and it was then that I knew I was doomed.

To keep my mind off the situation I turned on the television, only to find out it was also shark week on the Discovery Channel, rendering this vacation almost completely useless as I stare longingly at the water. Anyways, I just needed something to say before showing the overwhelming results from last week's debate, it was a flat-out massacre:

  • M. Bison: 17 votes
  • Ryu: 64 votes - Hadouken!

With Ryu advancing into the final round, this only leaves one more fight to decide who his opponent will be in the end. Chun-Li has sliced past Vega and Zangief has arm wrestled past Goro. Will thunder thighs advance, or will bulging biceps prevail? Who is the better fighter, and why? Cast your votes, give us a reason for your decision, get some friends to vote, and check back next week for the winner.

Chun li

Boobs > Moobs.

While it could be argued that Chun Li isn't Tit-tacular (her appeal is in her legs), but it's better than Zangief's Man-tastic Chest.

Chun-Li, or as she's known in my home, "The Chunner." As much as I love the Soviet hero, his strength is no match for her speed. The fact that she's been in almost every version of Street Fighter is very telling.

Suicidal vote for Zangief.

well... Zangeif was really only useful in an already masterful players hand... but I always considered the original chun li to be a cheapass bitch and my brothers and I all agreed never to use her... but alas... breasticles FTW.

CHUN LI!

Has to be Chun Li... and I'm not saying it just because I'd love to be between her 'thunder' any day of the week.

Though our buff, piledriving friend can dish it out with the best of em, I believe Chun Li's style would have her not even get touched for his piledriver to be effective. Granted hes got MAD REACH, and my brothers have proved on SF Turbo and older, I believe all in all Chun Li has more ways to stay out of reach than he has to reach her in the first place. Plus, getting kicked by her in any way is doom either by the sheer pain of it, or the nose bleed you'd get by the view there after.

Chun Li, you'll always have my heart.

...except for Leigh... she has that knife on me and all...

@ Miike

I believe, judging just by pictures, that she actually is pretty well stacked upstairs. I beliefe her shirt/skirt is not all "poofy" upstairs as some may believe. She may not be a Mai Shiranui or any DoA chick, but I will not underestemate her chest. Say it in her face and she'll kick you... hard...

Chun Li no doubt. And I would say she has some nice high C's or Low D's. Enough to play with and give a good handful, not to mention legs that go forever.

even though chun-li was in third strike was gief was not, which means chun-li was gloriously animated and sexy as hell, I'm gonna have to stick to zangief.

Chun-Li: she's been changed I think more than any other Street Fighter throughout the series because she was to powerful. She had her flipping knee jump removed, they took away her spinning san kick and gave her a week fireball, then they gave her a spinning air kick and I'm sure thats not all. Chun-Li FTW

I can't believe some people are actually voting for Zangief.

Chun-li... it's... not even a contest.

Chun-Li is just cheap, breastalicious or not. Zangief is mad cool.

Chun Li is obviously scaring the hell out of Zangief by showing him her crotch (he's gay, remember?) in that VS picture. Advantage: The one with the evil girl cooties.

Why are you making me choose??

These days I enjoy playing as Zangief much more. He's a fucking beast in Capcom vs. SNK 2. Well, at least for me, as a non high-level player. That anti-air super was fun to use on my friends who only remembered him from SFII :)

I'm afraid I have to go with Zangief for this one. Sorry, Chun, it was close.
