Chun Li doesn't have many moves that beat out the AI, so it feels like there isn't much freedom to enjoy. And the AI cheats SO MUCH. While playing this, I realized that SF2's characters were probably designed specifically to counter other characters. Because arcade games are designed to make people spend money. People playing arcade mode would always eventually fight a character that their character is weak against. I also suspect super moves are intentionally a trap, because you naturally want to do them and the AI is designed to hit you when you're trying to do the commands.

Fun fact: my first SF2 main was Chun Li. I tried to learn her but didn't really get anywhere, so I started using Ryu and Guile. I stood in front of an SF2 arcade cabinet for hours, trying to do QCF motions. Back in those days, throws were banned. If you threw by accident, you had to let the other person throw you back. The winner of round 1 also had to give mercy on round 2, so that both players go to final round. Always thought that was weird.

Anyway, for the character model, I fixed a long-standing issue with the smile squeezing the lips to the point that you can't see the mouth line. I also fixed an issue with closed lips being slightly open.

Going to try some horror games after this, but something came up that I need to work on ASAP.
