Popcultureshock Chun Li Mixed Media Statue

[MinMay]

I like the pose a lot...definitely a fighting/striking pose.

It's like "come closer and I'll kick your ass".

Like Ken, "come here boy and waaa teeerrr a fist in the face".

Like Akuma "come here and i'll strike you with a powerful force"

Like Mecha "Grrrrrr...and I'm going to squash you".

As for the others, no comments

The only thing is the legs should be a bit more muscular and the calves should be more fuller. I'm not saying it should be some fat disgusting looking legs like they just came out of a 2 Live Crew video. I'm talking more muscular sprinter or soccer player type legs and not marathon runner legs. Not a lot just a little bit more meat and tone that's all. Cause right now it looks like Cammy has her beat in booty and legs dept when it should be the other way around.

I'm inclined to agree with this. Don't want that "monstrous" look (), but I think the legs could be a little more filled out. Thighs a little more thick, and toned (as the above poster put it), and calves curving out a little more too. Shapely... a la vida guerra? That is 1 thing I wanted to see done with chun-li especially. Chun-li should have powerful (not fat, but firm ) legs. Pose is great (ie. graceful hand posture), but I do think by adding more "shape" to chun-li it would help give the sculpt that essence which this line carries. ie. ken, ryu, akuma, vega etc are all oozing with essence (all of them with the crazy musculature - ryu, akuma, ken because of their sheer mass, vega with the lean). Chun-li should be to Cammy what the others are like to Vega in this line so far - crazy definition, but that little more "meat" she needs to stand out from petite Cammy, giving her that essence.

And Guile says "My hair looks good right?"
Just doesn't fit with the rest of them.

Hey Ryu, that is a really nice dynamic pose! I like it a lot! Would make a perfect PF.

I'll definately buy all 12 chars from SF2, concerning the others the best are already out, like Akuma and Cammy, maybe I would also buy Ibuki, Rolento, Gouken and maybe 1-2 others. I won't be a completist if all would ever be made. If the 1/4 line ends at some point with a banger (like Sagat) it would be perfect and the line will become legendary.

Same could be said about Ryu and Cammy...

yeah it does, shows his contempt for his opponent by ignoring them

a comment about Chun Li's physique, at first she was basically a regular looking girl, pitted against these incredibly strong and brute opponents. If you saw her depicted in a bathing suit she would have looked like an ordinary slightly athletic toned fit girl, like an ice skater's physique, then some artists started thinking that if she does all these incredible feats, she must have very strong and unusually powerful legs, and so you started seeing her depicted with ridiculously huge calves and quadriceps until finally you get to what recently happened with the neca action figure version which is better left unmentioned and forgotten about, it's so bad. So I welcome the return to a normal looking girl very much. It was her skill that was always what made her such a great fighter, her inner strength.

Ryu is great, getting all geared up, ready to kick some ass. Perfect pose to position him in the center of the others too.

Agreed.
The thunder tighs can sometimes be exaggerated to the point that it is repulsive.
Make her toned and tight. Not muscular.
