Chun Li from the Street Fighter franchise is officially a Power Ranger!
As part of the hit mobile fighting game from nWay and Lionsgate, the Chun Li Ranger will morph into action in Power Rangers: Legacy Wars. Chun Li will use her phoenix-powered abilities as a Power Ranger as the newest character in the Power Rangers universe.
Gamers can download the Chun Li Ranger as a playable character beginning now, as well as purchase returning Street Fighter characters that include Ryu, Guile, M. Bison, Cammy, Akuma, Chun-Li, and Ryu Ranger.
The Chun Li Ranger is a brand character created in partnership between nWay, Capcom, and Hasbro’s Power Rangers creative team. Chun Li channels the powers of the Blazing Phoenix, able to set her opponents ablaze with her powerful blue phoenix fire.
With a Kasairyuu (Volcano Kick), a Houohmai (Phoenix Dance), and a mighty Senhoukyaku (Thousand Phoenix Kicks), foes won’t be able to take the heat of the world’s newest superhero.
The Street Fighter and Power Rangers crossover first kicked off in May 2018 where Ryu was introduced as a Power Ranger, known as the Ryu Ranger. Since then, the character’s popularity has spawned the creation of the Chun Li Ranger, the first female Street Fighter character to become a Power Ranger.

SAN FRANCISCO – November 15, 2019 – POWER RANGERS: Legacy Wars, the popular mobile fighting game by developer nWay in partnership with Hasbro, Inc.

Chun-Li Ranger is a brand new character created by nWay in partnership with Capcom and the POWER RANGERS creative team. Street Fighter characters first crossed over into Power Rangers: Legacy Wars last spring and marked one of the most successful events in the game’s three year history as it introduced Ryu Ranger, a POWER RANGERS: Legacy Wars exclusive character where Ryu received a Power Coin and morphed into a Power Ranger.

Flip in with a Kasairyuu (Volcano Kick) into Houohmai (Phoenix Dance), activate your super to unleash a brutal Senhoukyaku (Thousand Phoenix Kicks), then toy with your foe as they deal with the heat.
