Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike/Chun-Li/Combos

Combos

Target Combos

j.HP>HP

Great for air resets at the end of combos to secure scary high/low/throw mixups.

Combo List

Without meter, you'll rarely combo into a ton of damage. Usually you'll either secure a knockdown with raw throw/sweep, or go for damage using 2MK/2HP into SBK. Metered damage is where Chun shines, but in both cases her combos are limited, so don't expect to have many combo movie moments with her. Focus on improving neutral and knowledge before anything else.

Basic Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
4HP > 41236HP	Anywhere	24	17	Very Easy	Simple 4HP cancel to fireball. Doesn't knock down, but builds a decent amount of space safely and does alright damage.
2MK > [2]8LK	Anywhere	28	16	Easy	Light SBK combos from shockingly far away with 2MK, making it a useful punish for a bit of extra damage, meter, and stun. Ensure the opponent is standing, as SBK whiffs on crouchers.
j.HK/j.2HP, 2HP > [2]8MK	Anywhere	46	31	Easy	Jump-in combo that does nice damage without knocking down. Good for if you know the jump normal will connect, like after jumping a fireball. Similar to the above combo, ensure SBK will not whiff them crouching.

EX Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
j.HK/j.2HP, 2HP > [2]8KK	Anywhere	52	33	Easy	EX SBK does slightly more damage and combos from farther away thanks to being faster. You'll rarely spend EX this way, as saving for SAII is more worthwhile, but if you need to end the round and don't have a super this can help ensure you do enough damage, especially since EX SBK doesn't whiff crouchers like the meterless versions.

SAI Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
4HP > 236236P	Anywhere	60	15	Easy	Punish combo with SAI. Does decent damage, good after jump-ins or blocking a DP.
cl.HK > sjc.236236P	Anywhere	56	15	Intermediate	Superjump cancelled SAI after cl.HK. Not quite as useful of a confirm as it is with SAII, but it does come with added safety and time to confirm the hit.
2MK > 236236P	Anywhere	57	3	Easy	Whiff punish into SAI. Does less and less damage the further out you are, and can even fall out at some very far ranges like catching extended hurtboxes.

SAII Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
236236K > sjc j.2MK, j.HK/j.HP>HP	Anywhere	58	26	Intermediate	The two main followups after SAII. Stomp into j.HK gives a strong knockdown and corner carry, but requires some unique timing that can be a little character specific. Ending with TC also requires some delays, but is more notable for letting Chun set up a mixup offscreen for the opponent to fall into. You can omit j.2MK in the j.HK ender for a very reliable easy ender at the cost of one damage and stun.
2MK > 236236K > sjc j.2MK, j.HK/j.HP>HP	Anywhere	67	27	Easy	The most useful combo to learn by far. 2MK has a unique delay cancel window, which allows you to single button confirm this super for massive damage.
4HP > 236236K > sjc j.2MK, j.HK/j.HP>HP	Anywhere	68	39	Easy	You'll get lots of random hits with 4HP, so converting them into almost 50% damage and a ton of stun makes an already scary button terrifying to challenge.
cl.HK > sjc.236236K > sjc j.2MK, j.HK/j.HP>HP	Anywhere	66	39	Intermediate	Fast punish normal into SAII. You'll usually use this to punish things close up, or after a meaty cl.HK.
2LP > 236236K > sjc j.2MK, j.HK/j.HP>HP	Anywhere	60	27	Intermediate	Jab into super. Requires a very fast super buffer to properly combo. Niche uses in punishing slightly negative things into Chun's win condition.

SAIII Combos
Combo	Position	Damage	Stun	Difficulty	Notes
2MK > 236236K	Anywhere	49	19	Easy	SAIII is rarely used outside of casual fun, so you won't do this often. Even when you do run SAIII, this must be point blank and not delay cancelled, and will whiff on some crouchers as well.
4HP > 236236K	Anywhere	53	31	Easy	Just like the above combo, you must be point blank for this or else the first hits whiff, and still whiffs on some crouchers regardless.
