What happened to the old Chun-Li?

After playing and mastering a lot of moves in "Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Comics", we sold the game and bought "Street Fighter IV". I used to spend hours as a kid in pizzerias and arcades playing Street Fighter. I always won using Chun-Li, she had kick-ass moves, even against Ryu or E. Honda. I was thrilled to be able to play as Chun-Li once again on my PS3. I was really disappointed that her moves are no longer consistent, she is swift but lacks control and her moves overall are not as rough as they used to be. I was also reading that she has one of the hardest challenge modes in the game. I thought maybe it was because I didn't have her moves down yet, that I had to get used to playing the game a bit more, but I have played using the other characters and their moves are a lot more potent. They also had to "slut her up", her unlockable outfits make her look like a street walker, not a street fighter.

And Kristin Kreuk playing her in the movie? Give me a break. The actress is only half Chinese and thats what she looks like. Chun-Li, is from China and even has an accent. Too bad they have ruined the best female fighter of the video arcade days.
