Kinda' odd and sexist that you'd report this considering all the other characters in the game. But, oh well. Go, cougars! Very Happy

Chun-Li the hottest Video Game Cougar around.

Still looking good. Gawd I remember a guy that was a Chun-Li fanatic. When he got into SF it was all he talked about. I'm like "dude, you don't know how much of a screaming fanboy who lives in his parents basement right now." In time he grew out it. I never understood that whole obsession. Now time to break out my special chibi foil card to celebrate the occasion.

Kinda pointless, as our babe Thunder Thighs hasn't really aged once she hit her 30s. Or any character for that matter. Sakura debuted in the mid-90s and she's still 15 years old. Either way, HELL YEAH, STREET FIGHTER!

Of course, you know the Chinese Government probably doctored her birthdate abit so she could compete in Street Fighter.

"She's 43 years old? Damn, we're gonna mop the floor with her...."

SURPRISE!!

I'd just love to know how she keeps herself in that shape at that age. Razz

You do realize that CAPCOM decided to give only the day and month but NOT the year of any character's birth as of SFIV.

Chalk it up to a sliding time scale.

Sakura's in her early 20's. The school uniform is just her idea of fighting clothes.

Sakura Kasugano was introduced in Street Fighter Alpha 2 wouldn't that make her 30.

Oh and Ryu does have a birthdate according to SFII: 11/18/1964.

So that would make him 47 this year!

Actually I believe all the games are set within a timeline of the late 1980s to the early 1990s. So Chun-Li being 43 now isn't a surprise. If I remember correctly I believe Cammy's birth year is the same as mine in official canon so she would be 36 or 37 this year herself. Rolling Eyes

She bulked up consistently until SFIII, then stopped cracking nuts with her legs at SFIV, so in a sense the character has changed over time.

Technically Chun-Li is still in her mid-20s but, she'd make one hell of a cougar, though. :3

Sakura Kasugano is in her late teens (16/17 years old), always has been. She's a high school student, that's why she wears the seifuku. Udon's interpretation of the Street Fighter canon unifies all of the games (excluding the Street Fighter EX series and including the Rival Schools series) into the same timeline; by time Street Fighter IV happens in the comics, Sakura is in her 20s.
