Is Chun Li a post-op transsexual?

Is Chun Li a post-op transsexual?  photo
     Street fighter

1UP pointed this out a few days ago, but I think it needs reiterating on Destructoid -- Chun Li's hands are nightmarishly huge in Street Fighter IV. Did she just inject collagen directly between her fingers? Did she eat something she was allergic to? Is she pulling a Poison? I have to go with the latter.

There's nothing wrong with transsexuals (they're hot and you know it) but some people really should not make the jump from male to female. Like, for example, if they have hands the size of giant squids! It's not just the hands either, but everything about Chun Li that crosses the line into pure male territory. Her arms are now bulked up considerably, resembling big, steroid-infested Chris Benoit limbs. Any sense of a waist also appears to have disappeared.

Just check out this screenshot and tell me that's not in the least bit disturbing. Seeing such a mannish, hulking brute in a dress trying to act girly as if nobody has noticed the python arms and monstrous ham fists is creepy, to say the least. All I'll say is, I dread to think of the view that Ryu gets the next time she does one of her signature moves ... 

Can anyone say Meatspinning Bird Kick?

The issue isn't the hand size persay (on a good day, I'd dismiss it as foreshortening), but the real issue is that thumbs don't fucking WORK THAT WAY.

I mean, it looks like an arm is jutting out of her hand and flexing to form a thumb.

I can only imagine what kind of hand turkeys she made on thanksgiving...

No, see. They're transplanted hands from Yao Ming. You can clearly see that they're attached to the block of wood with spikes coming out of it. That's it. She just wanted... an... advantage?

I saw this headline on GameTab and immediately thought "Ah, another fine article by Mr Jim Sterling".

Although I myself aren't particularly attracted to these ladies, your affinity for them tickles a part of me. The part that keeps going back to 4chan I think.

Keep up the good work Jim.

I live just outside Tokyo. I`ve been to game shows and anime fairs. I've seen plenty of guys trying to pass themselves off as authentic Chun Lis and failing miserably. All that makes this new look very easy to accept.

Haha, Street Fighter can really go off the deep end with their character designs sometimes. Its been that way since the original if you asked me.

Yeah, the cuteness of her "yatta!" pose in that screenshot is kind of canceled out by the beefy legs and man-hands. Her fist looks as big as her damn head!

What the fuck? Did they hire a bunch of school kids to draw this? Whoever is responsible for the character models from this piece of crap really needs to go back and do some more work on anatomy, proportions... Hell I think they should just fire the shitbird and start over.

Is it my imagination or Jackie Chan in the Chun Li's costume, from the City Hunter movie, looks more femenine than SFIV Chun Li?

GuitarAtomik at 04/22/2008 08:45
Yeah, they need to de-musclify her arms a bit. Out of all the models, Chun Li's is the worst. I hope they work on that some more.

But yeah. SF IV hands-down has the worst art direction and looks of any Street Fighter game thus far. Absolutely laughable.

@Novakaine: ROFL.

Also to further this effect on my friend, I was trying to find the deformed hand/penis picture but for some reason I just couldn't find it at ALL even though I know it was on this website. So anyway, if anyone needs it... http://www.filedropper.com/chunlipenis

In all seriousness, it's kind of normal for hands to suck on quickly rigged characters. Hell if I know why they would use such a terrible shot for promotional purposes (as if nobody would notice that). Most games do sport sucky hands. Pay attention to them, the next time that you play something. Short of the hands of the main character in a FPS, it's still pretty terrible.

Granted, not THAT terrible, but I'll let it slide since it's still in development. Nobody in their right mind would stamp "final" on this.

you put all that to work and then realize that NO man has thunder thighs that good.

I'm still surprised people are taking SFIV artwork seriously. I kinda stopped that when everyone looks like a bulky 3d version of their Alpha counterparts.
