Chun-Li – Street Fighter

Chun-Li was one of the first female fighting game characters. This alone makes her pretty impressive. Of course, if you’ve ever played through the Street Fighter games, you’ll know she’s also one of the most deadly characters in the series.

Meanwhile, Chun-Li’s backstory sports a fair bit of depth, with Chun-Li occupying the role of undercover Interpol officer seeking revenge for her father’s death. Rather than blindly pursuing this revenge, Chun-Li dedicates herself to becoming a disciplined fighter.

Additionally, Chun-Li makes friends easily and has a strong sense of valor. Overall, there’s no shortage of things to love about Chun-Li, even when you’re on the opposite end of her incredibly painful beatdowns.
