I decided to main Chun-Li in SF4.. and while I've been playing I started thinking.. Isn't her jump incredibly short? At first I thought maybe I was imagining things but I went back and played some of the other Street Fighter games and noticed her jump was pretty long in earlier games. Just to confirm my suspicions, I decided to record footage from each version and compare the distances.
Note: I had to scale the frame for SF4 in order to directly compare... but it still proves my point proportionally.
As you can see she jumps basically the same distance in every game EXCEPT SF4.
Using Ryu as a registration point.. let's compare SF2 Chun's jump to SF4's.
That concludes the jump research.
Was this on purpose, Capcom?

Its like Big Mex said on his blogs: Street Fighter has the potential for greatness. Its so sad to see that potential being squandered. It hurts me the most with Cammy, since I like her so much, but youre right. Theres so much more Capcom could do with Street Fighter in general. They have such great characters, and there are so many interesting stories they could tell, but theyre not. Its a great disappointment for me.
