Hey guys, 
I've been playing a fair amount of this game and use around 7 characters in rotation but every time I play against a good Chun Li, I seem to hit a brick wall! I've tried all my characters and nothing gives so does anyone know a way around her? Do you usually pick a specific character when you see a good Chun Li character? 
Thanks

Just rush that shit down. She doesn't have any good reversals except EX SBK, and that can be safe jumped. Her pokes are godlike, though, so try to get that untechable knockdown early on.

I play Chunli most of the time, and I find it hard when someone plays an all out offense character like Bison. Like the above poster said, she doesn't have that many good reversals, so if you just go all out, it's usually a win. Or I can't deal with the pressure.

Chun is a whore. I have 3 beast Chun's I play with regularly, used in the right hands she is a fucking fortress. Good luck getting in on a good Chun, it is a lot easier said then done.

Taunt, it's my solution to everything.

Be careful with jumping when you're at about half-screens distance, her standing fierce and roundhouse are excellent anti-airs.

Fighting a good chun li is really a pain.  Her grab is fast, her straight jump HK is difficult to go against and her pokes give me so much rage.  And her Kikosho setup with EX lightning kick, damn that damage.  What I usually do is jump her if you're close and if you have projectiles, maintain a pretty far distance from Chun Li.  Her jumps are quick but it doesn't go that far.

That ultra combo actually does relatively low damage. "

Fireballs and stay the fuck away from those legs

" @Earthborn: From main to last-> Ibuki, Cammy, Gouken, El Fuerte, Rufus, Makoto, Juri. With Ibuki I can do alot of dif. target combos but most involve me either focusing (for extra time) or jumping in at chun-li which seems suicidal!! "

In general, it's important to be disciplined with your blocking when Chun is close to you so you don't eat low short short xx EX legs, because that shit starts in three frames, is easy to confirm and she'll be looking for it. The only way I know how to approach that match is to work my ass off for a knockdown in footsies (hard), or capitalize on a stupid jump (only works if they're bad). Chun is basically a free lunch on wakeup without meter, and even if she has it, one whiffed EX bird kick will absolutely cost her the round if you're looking for it. I guess my strategy is to out-lame her until she fucks up, and then try to get in that ass and end the round as quickly as possible. @Stang said:

I've had more success turtling and playing the poke game with a Chun Li than rushing her down. But, I play Guile so I can deliver a fireball game that makes her nervous.

Chun vs. Balrog is soooooooo annoying man. Rog's worst matchup imo, worse than Sagat or Gief now. 
 
Her s.hp antiairs rog perfectly, and she can beat him air-to -air. She can just play lame and chuck plasma safely for most of the match. If you jump you get aa'd, if you ex dash punch she can throw or c.mp on reaction easilly. tap gets swept, headbutt is too slow. Eventually you'll close the gap a bit, and Balrog is a great footsie character, but Chun just beats him here. Her s.mp is too fast for rog to do much about, her sweep can be counterswept if you're looking for it, but she can just generally outpoke you and once she gets a knockdown switch sides and start the fireball game again. She has mad pressure on your wakeup with low shorts, counterhit setups, tick throws (gdlk throw range), crossup kick ruining your charge, and hazanshu is pretty safe if blocked too. If you knock her down you pretty much gotta guess if she'll ex sbk (bitch always has meter by the time you get her down if she's playing the matchup lame), or backdash, which is hard to punish unless you read it. It's not unwinnable but if feels like my toughest matchup for sure.

Since you got experience in both characters that I can't figure out please answer this for me.  How the hell do you beat this tactic?  Light fireball then dash up right behind it and poke the fuck out of me, until i turn into a ball since FADC, jumping whatever the fuck I try I get out poked. This applies to Chun li, Guile and DeeJay. I just can't figure out what to do. I play Gief and Dudley. I know dudley has the duck move but they all still beat me out since they can throw me or out poke me when I get past teh fireball.  "

CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT. "

rush her down. if she has ex and is on the ground bait it with a backdash, not a jump because thats a really easy ultra setup for her, all she has to do is hit you with crouching forward lightkick on your way down.

something ive noticed people are doing against me is using focus attacks as i walk back which ends up keeping me in place. i actually really hate that.

from far away chun li is pretty great with her defense, she cant fireball spam with almost anyone but a neutral jump is often good enough. she has pretty good anti airs too.

up close she has almost no defense, and only really fast offense.
