The guy playing Rugal is the Darth Maul actor, you know
Which one's supposed to be "Moe-taro" (a joking nickname for a cutesy pretty-boy type)?
Is she all beat up in the second photo because she got hit with a Yoga Fire?
Cammy's rough too
Well, realistic is realistic I guess

You only looked at the first picture, didn't you
The last picture is the default look
She should be about as thick as the girl on the far left
Good thickness, but that's probably just the wide-angle lens
Nice, she's got some belly on her too
Well, Akiman's character designs really are one of a kind (Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, the Street Fighter character designer)

That's completely different
Agreed
Thighs and butts pretty much look the same on everyone anyway
Now those are some good legs
But Capcom characters have tiny faces and huge fists
That part's just impossible lol
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Street Fighter’s Chun-Li is drawn slender overall except for her extremely thick thighs, reflecting how fighting-game character designs are often built on exaggerated proportions. That makes faithfully recreating her body type in live action inherently difficult, and past live-action fighting-game adaptations have likewise repeatedly drawn debate over costumes and looks. In the thread, comments praising the effort behind the role mingled with others comparing body types using images of other actresses and ordinary people, highlighting how anticipation for the film and commentary on appearance were playing out side by side. One thing worth keeping in mind: online body-type comparisons are purely a matter of impression, not based on actual measurements or any official statement from the production.
