@thinkfreemind: Chun Li's definitely not a low talker, she could easily fit into the bracket of being a high talker but I think that's okay for girls.

I think it's time to go through Seinfeld again begin to end fortunately for me I have them all on my iPod so I can watch.listen anywhere I go.

Dannon

Whoa. Quato-Thumb!

Horseflesh

Man-Hands! Is there anything worse? Hairy legs on a woman, maybe.

Orionsaint

OH DEAR GOD, please, someone please have a heart

PUT HER OUT OF HER MISERY! Have some Compassion!!!

Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.

"My Chun Li what big hangs you have"

"Yes, perfect for cupping your head in my comely bosom"

"My Chun Li what big thighs you have"

"Yes, perfect for..............."

Antiflow

Uh oh, Chun-Li has man-hands and Ryu has an erection. What's next, Capcom?

ParaParaKing

All the better to bitch slap you with.

ShiNZ

@Dannon: Just about to say that... :)

JERRY: She had man-hands.

ELAINE: Man, Hands?

JERRY: The hands of a man. It's like a creature out of Greek Mythology, I mean, she was like part woman, part horrible beast.

ELAINE: Would you, prefer it, if she had, no hands at all?

JERRY: Would she have hooks?

ELAINE: Do uh, do hooks make it more attractive, Jerry?

JERRY: Kinda cool lookin'..

thinkfreemind

Wow, I actually just got nauseous.

Touy

The new hi-res 2D King of Fighters is looking better and better compared to Street Fighter IV.

archibaldleech

It's probably a mystery how such pictures get greenlighted.
The thumb's almost bigger than two of her other finger glued together!
Okay, Street Fighter has never been about charakters taken straight from the real life, but what's with the game's charakters and anatomical deformations? I always thought how absurdly small Ryu's head looks compared to the rest of his body, it sure looks quite freakish...

Al Bino

That's what male hands are supposed to look like? OH GOD I'M A FREAK

frostcircus

So, Chun Li must wear that high collar dress to cover the Adams Apple. It all makes sense now. 0.o

silkylove

Imagine her slapping your face. Ouch.

ParaParaKing

Maybe that thumb could work to her advatnage...somehow? I dunno.

Demolition Debbie

That is one scary thumb...

Cactuar

I can't help think of Seinfeld now.

"She has, man hands"

Dannon

Double-jointed thumbs are awesome.

Dunno about that webbing on the palm though. Don't drink the water in Linfen.

Retropants regrets nothing

[lh6.ggpht.com]

HUGE hands are HUGE

Manny

Those hands are certainly intimidating. Seems that we also have some Dorian Yates caliber forearm development striking down in the ladies of SFIV.

Fut

those are bitch slap hands! lol!

Shin-Kaiser

Sexy! :P

spaz33

She'd give one painful handjob.

Ryumeka

They are not just man-hands. The thumb looks dislocated. She should seek medical help.

Eltigro

I thought Japanese censorship laws would only require the thumb be blurred out...

Dr.Tran

She should consider a career with thumb wrestling instead of street fighting *bada-bum chii!*

Rexter

OMG, CHUN-LI HAS PENIS THUMBS !!!
=:O

Antiterra

When she makes a hand puppet it looks like Robert Z'Dar.

Horseflesh

If we chop it in half vertically, this could actually be the six-fingered umm.. person... that Inigo Montoya's been looking for...

MelodyKitn

Maybe we can expect a thumb wrestling Bonus round.

Jesu

I'm praying that's an angle of perspective. Aw well, flyswatter hands!

Angryrider

Hahaha lets hope she's right handed (that left hand certainly isn't gripping anything properly)

Grinman

Holy crap, her Kikouken will actually be useful now

AngryTankManMax

She looks like of of those lobster-claw people from the old freakshows!

MrLister

Jesus christ that hand is fucking huge.
Er...wow

excel_excel

Ikeno did a picture of Chun-Li for SF3 in this same exact pose and it was PERFECT.

SF4 just fails on all accounts.

aeontek

That's her going "THIS is why I use my legs more than my hands!" And then she pokes you in the eye with her freaky lobster-thumb.

MrPerson

What woman wouldn't love a triple threat from Chun-Li; Now that's the real question?(!)

okenny :)

And I thought her legs were freakish enough.

KM91

Wow..... let see, Huge muscular legs, In this pic seems to have very muscular arms, has freakishly huge hands.... i think its time, she needs to go on the Maury show where the audience guesses the gender.

Dizzle

@Zyzex_Remix: Bewbs.

And Chun li's been pretty buff waaaay before SF4.

Antihippy

Is distorted perspective. Like these "eye balls" images of cute dogs.

Tei

Freaky thumb is freaky.

Antihippy

Jesus, her whole body looks man like. I understand being buff...and hell, it's even more realistic that she would have that kind of build for "street fighting". It just doesn't look right!

Zyzex_Remix

And that, children, is why you shouldn't play too much Nintendo.

ridleysaria

the blur ... it does nothing!

thaKingRocka

Geez, is that a tumor growing off her hand? Oh, that's her thumb.

Well hey, if we got them to get rid of the hotdog arms, we shouldn't have trouble with a freaking hand, right? MAN THE HARPOONS!

Rebochan

Please God, make them change the hands. Please!!! The hands, they come for me!

mindf1ow

dude im ermmmmm

quite scared

Juststreet

You know what they say about huge hands...

I'm not sure myself, but there has to be something to it.

Pinhead

It looks more like a dick is growing out of her palm. Side effect of masturbating too much?

I've seen a loooooot of pictures of Chun Li masturbating. You would think she has a chronic addiction to it or something!

Mr. Fap☆Fap!

wow.. her other hand looks just as ugly..

vln

Give the girl a break. She isn't the only one with peculiarly deformed digits.

Jackablade

I think capcom is outsourcing for child labor in China & India:P
Cause only a 12 year old would draw such shit :P

STHD

Look at the size of that...

...ehrm...

thumb.

DorkimusPrime

Anybody else reminded of the Foo Fighters' video for Everlong?

+ Watch video

jfmzoo

Oh shit. That looks horrible.

Candlejack

The technique is called 'foreshortening' folks. It looks bigger because it's supposed to be closer to the viewer.

Although the thumb is a little...abnormal. Not even extreme foreshortening can excuse that one.

hikaizer

Chun Li, a post-op nightmare in progress. Age is revealing the scars and augments.

joncoffee

@okenny :): And now you have me thinking on the old Chun-li Cammy fan 'art'. Now with Ms Li using those huge hands.

huginn

He, when I read "freakazoid hands" in the title, I thought it was like the cartoon from the 90's. You know, like:

Super teen extroadinare,
Chun-Li! Chun-Li!
Runs around in her underwear,
Chun-Li! Chun-Li!
etc.

BMO

I mean, I've heard of webbed toes, but a webbed thumb? wtf Japan?

Masterpopo

Capcom art has always had some insane hand and feet proportions. At this point, I'd be disappointed if they were normal.

futurebiblehero

HAHAHA Man hands. If they ever make a godhand 2 game they should put that version of Chun-Li as a hidden character in the game.

MURDERFACE

Blasphemy! Freakazoid's hands don't look anything like that.

coladict

It doesn't matter, really...because by the time you see that thumb that close up, it's already too late.

Robotube

Her hands really do look weird! In the first screenshots I noticed that her hand was about the size of one and a half regular hands...this confirms it, unfortunately. Big palms, big thumbs...weird.

Fierfaerie

OUUUUCH
I know each style has its fans but I think they should try to get the SNK-side artists they used in the Capcom vs SNK games to do the concept art...

It also sorta looks like her bicep is being lit from a different angle than the rest of her, but I'm no expert.

fuchikoma

[www.briancasey.org]
Man hands!

nanikore

Well....she could definitely give you a goooood hand job, right?

freight_train

@Dave Silva: Sorry for the double post - WHAT THE HELL THAT'S AN OFFICIAL ART SCAN?!

JEEBUS CHRIST!

Dave Silva

Uh. Is the first picture a photoshop? Because that blurred picture, what looks to be the thumb in the unblurred one... it might be her right arm. And what is her right hand in the unblurred one? It might be her elbow.

Where'd that first picture come from?

Dave Silva

She'll put powder on her hands and bitchslap you!

Fireblast

Wait, who let Rob Leifeild work for Capcom?

~phil

Man I'm glad people here agree with me, I posted about her man hands before in another forum and people got mad and said she was always disproportional. Though I'm sure her hands were never like that before.

Jacktherip

This has bothered me since day one.. :(

Zho

@Dannon:

That's what I thought the first time I saw her character in SF IV. Her hands are HUGE!

dead_red_eyes

Thats the Vega aftermath damage. lol

Jnkzm4

That's a true fighter!
Something really really bad happened to her thumb and she's still smiling at you!

digitalmorphine

I was going to get all incensed about how freaking much the people here and elsewhere freak out about "man hands" when you've obviously never seen a real live woman, considering your expectations, which are understandably skewed by Hollywood and ever advert. agency in the world.

HOWEVER! That is one seriously fracked up thumb. It certainly made me cringe.

I saw somewhere that someone already pointed out that those aren't man hands. It's true. They're not. They're not human hands, is what they are(n't).

Cola82

Hmm.. very strange being this is a foreign character. Is it because an artist who is Japanese is painting a Chinese character? Is it intentional absence of kawaii or asthetic? Maybe or it could be the company's input. I see this stuff all the time when Japan creates characters or things which are representative of another country. Look at some fighter characters who are from a different country and they won't be "completely moe/cute". Either their too sexy acting or they use a huge weapon compsred to their size or there is some strange behavior or strange thing on their costume. It even goes beyond games in to movies, music, (shanghai honey) books, tv (a dub of a foreigner will usually sound wierd) and general perceptions about foreigners in regular life.

But I think this is a national structure issue, not the individual for the most part they get these perceptions from their country's standards and schedule than from their own natural deductions.

Does anyone agree?

bird1988

Didn't Chun-Li used to be, y'know... hot?

I heard the artist for Chun-Li likes thicker, more muscular women, but c'mon now!

DoomDragon6

@bird1988: Less talky, more ouendan cheerleaders. You may have a point there though. I don't have any concrete examples at the moment, but I have gotten that feeling through other Japanese works in the past at some time or another.

This however? I think this is just an experiment in perspective gone horribly wrong.

Enkur

Oh, does anybody else except me watch wrestling? Imagine Umagas' good ole thumb o' doom-finisher with Chun-Li's monsterthumb - this move might end careers in an instant!

@DoomDragon6: She used to - just like most charakters in the SF-games used to look like humans. Just before they got injected with more human growth hormones most horses could take before they would drop dead.

Al Bino

@Manny: She has Ades though...
First the creepy faces, now the creepy hands...
I figure after enough complaints, SFIV will look incredibly beautiful though. I've heard that they fixed the faces in the last location test.

TheCleaningGuy

@Demolition Debbie: Mad thumb to the eye. :)

Americo

@hikaizer:
Yes but even without the thumb it just doesn't read right.

Radiogaga

She must be real popular with the ladies.
