- Incredible Grounded Neutral: Chun Li is equipped with an excellent spread of long-reaching normals; with the standouts being 4/6MP, 2MK, and 5HP. She gets a ton of milage out of these pokes on Punish Counter, making playing pre-emptive against her very scary. She also has Kikoken, a solid projectile that she can use as an extended poke or walk behind to establish offense.
- Anti-Air Presence: 5MK and her Tenshokyaku (22K) special moves are very reliable anti-airs in a pinch. 5HK is riskier but also much more rewarding. On top of her grounded options, she also has strong air-to-air buttons and an airthrow to round out her defense.
- Ground Mobility: Chun's backward walk speed is the highest in the game, with her forward walk also being among the highest. This compliments her strong ground normals and gives her a very strong footsies game.

- No Throw Loop: Chun Li is one of the only characters with a throw that leaves her too far to properly perform okizeme or throw loop, even in the corner.
- Restrictive Knockdowns: getting a knockdown with Chun Li requires resources or a high amount of situational awareness. She needs down charge for her most reliable combo ender (Spinning Bird Kick), and without it she needs to be close enough for 22K to connect or to spend resources on 236KK or a super.
- Floaty Jump: Chun's jump is slower to land than others, which impedes her ability to safely jump over fireballs in neutral. It can also cause her air-to-airs to leave her minus, and at worst give the opponent a free punish.
