Longest-running playable female character in a fighting videogame series

Masterful martial artist Chun-Li has been brawling since her debut in 1991's Street Fighter II (Capcom), an appearance which also made her the first playable female character in the Street Fighter series. She's been a mainstay of Street Fighter right up to the 2023's Street Fighter 6, and with the Switch 2 version launching on 5 June 2025, Chun-Li's fighting career spanned 34 years 91 days.

Chun-Li has appeared in nearly every Street Fighter game except the first, Street Fighter III and Street Fighter III: Second Impact. In total she's popped up in 105 games, including 5 main Street Fighter titles, dozens of spin-offs, ports, compilations, cameos and crossovers, including all the Marvel vs. Capcom series.
