While SF4 and SF5 served as prequels in terms of story to the all-time classic, SF6 will age some of our fan-favorite characters one more time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the characters that players have been wondering about the most is Chun-Li, an iconic and recognizable face who hasn&#8217;t missed out on a single mainline Street Fighter game besides the original in 1987 and the first SF3 versions (Vanilla and 2nd Impact).<\/p>\n<p>Leading up to Street Fighter 6, Chun-Li, like other returning characters such as Ryu and Guile, will return with a more mature version of themselves. However, in the case of the former Interpol officer, Chun will start SF6 as a kung-fu teacher helping her local community thrive, according to Capcom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How old is Chun-Li?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/eBu4bW9e9t9jr8oqnUoyM2CtSMWl2SOmBd7Jx9tCUB4\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9EZXN0aW55XzIvY2h1bm5lcnMuanBn\" alt=\"chun li\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Chun-Li is now a veteran fighter in Street Fighter 6. (Picture: Capcom)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While very few details are known regarding when Street Fighter 6 is taking place, official Capcom information states that Chun-Li was born on 1st March 1968. Accordingly, fans have pieced together a small timeline over the past few decades, using the SF3 3rd Strike release date (1999) as the final year in which events within the universe take place.<\/p>\n<p>If we used this logic without diving deep into the puzzling Street Fighter story, Chun-Li would be (at the very least) older than 31 years in Street Fighter 6. So depending on when SF6 takes place, the strongest woman in the world could be somewhere <strong>between her late 30s or early 40s.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/street-fighter-6-rollback-netcode-crossplay\"><strong>Street Fighter 6 to feature crossplay and rollback netcode<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/guile-street-fighter-6-gameplay\">Guile Street Fighter 6 gameplay revealed at Summer Game Fest<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/street-fighter-6-ken-divorced-leaks\">Street Fighter fans react to divorced Ken story leaks in SF6<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/video-games\/all-street-fighter-6-character\">All Street Fighter 6 Characters Leaked So Far<\/a><br \/><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In recent times, Capcom has shied away from giving fans a concrete timeline, only using vague dates without a specific year to reference the events within Street Fighter. Indeed, this is smart, considering we&#8217;d most likely get even more titles in the coming years. Simply maintaining a semblance of when things are taking place based on character designs and backstory would make, amongst many other things, managing the lore a bit easier.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" contenteditable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-cf.ginx.tv\/imgcdn\/-19mFV9tgAaSACB9AujKwNxhtzClWiBtm2IJ-J06gwo\/rs:fill:0:0:1\/g:ce\/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ2lueC50di91cGxvYWRzMi9EZXN0aW55XzIvY2h1bl9saV8yLmpwZw\" alt=\"chun li \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption contenteditable=\"false\">Chun-Li will boast new moves in SF6.
