.....is that even physically possible?

Look, I know that there's been lots of talk of how game designers "accentuate" certain parts of the female anatomy, but this is NOT a step in the right direction.

That looks fake. This may sound gay buuuuuut....The Goth Spikes don't go with the Japanese dress so most likely the hand is taken from another character, maybe even another game (someone from brutal legend hmmm....).

What would have made that funnier if they made breasts look like that mutant from Total Recall. You know what I'm talking about, the shut off the reactor dude. Damn that was a sweet movie.

Actually, it doesn't. Next time, add some content of your own.

Given that biceps actually neutralise martial arts strikes, how many SF characters have bulging biceps? (The force is made with the tricep, bicep muscles work against it)

Capcom have a lot of dodgy (Yes, even that dodgy) artwork of Sakura, Chun Li etc.

No I don't think it is on both counts. Can you see anyone seeing Chun Li's thumbs and going, "ooo, look at those curves"?

not to argue with an oh so grand admin, but wouldnt any content he could add essentially be reiterating what was said in the article?

@Thread : Ive never been a fan of capcom's art but I suppose that her hand wont drag her entire body down at all times as this picture would suggest.

EDIT: to save double posting saskwatch are you aware of one of the Rules that states "No matter what it is somebody's fetish"

I thought the same thing myself about the content and thought all I could add was a sense of speechlessness but there's a rule for original content on these forums and rules is rules.
Theoretically I'm aware that everything has a related fetish but IMO if you are turned on by Chun Li's tumour thumbs you should have your condition as sane checked by an expert. Just to be sure.

While I Agree that that thumb is quite disturbing, I like the overall look. She looks Muscular, and I like that. In that picture her thumb is terrible, but in the screen shot her hands look fine, and by fine I say that they are prepositional to her arm and wrist. That is my first impression. Other than the thumb, the concept art is well done, and she looks nice.

So then getting on topic, I can not fathom what they were thinking. It might just have been one of those details that they just did not have time to fix.

"How's the Chun-li art comeing?"
"I've just about finished it, but there is this issue with her hand"
"Good enough. Print it."
"Wait! I would really like to fix this!"
"We are not falling behind schedule just so you can fix her hand. Nobody cares about her hand anyways! Print it!"

I guess she punched someone too hard and brke her thumb into about a million pieces and it got swollen as a result....

to be honest, id rather have that as a fetish than some things ive seen on the internet *shudders*
Id rather not soil the forum with examples

I think lesbian girls would be interested in her thumb.. size.. <.<
Please, lets not go there. On the topic of the thumb, well, uh, what do I say. I think she needs medical treatment... Quick.

Yeah, apprently they also brought out another female character who's actually a guy for the next Street Fighter. Of course you already knew all that. Just the two combined has already turned me off this game. At least Virtua Fighter 5 still kicks arse.

I've never known Ms. Chun Li to be all that lady like in the first place (give the Thigh Master a rest dear) but wow. As I see it the only next step is to put some hair on those knuckles, and slap a beard on her face and get rid of the confusion...

Chun-Li has always had those. It's been part of her character since her introduction in Street Fighter 2.

Are we sure that this pic is legit? The thumb looks to be an entirely different color and style from the rest of the hand, not to mention that the shadows look wrong on it. If it is the real deal, then all that I can say is BUUUUH!
