Gah! Man hands! That's apparently the still-in-progress Chun-Li character image from the location test. Capcom's still finishing up and tweaking the images, sure, but geez, what is up with her hand and her thumb? She get bitten by a bumblebee? Makes her thighs look totally normal.
A blurry version of the completed work is after the jump. Something sticks out like a sore thumb, though. Literally.

I can't help think of Seinfeld now.
"She has, man hands"
That is one scary thumb...
Maybe that thumb could work to her advatnage...somehow? I dunno.
Imagine her slapping your face. Ouch.
So, Chun Li must wear that high collar dress to cover the Adams Apple. It all makes sense now. 0.o
That's what male hands are supposed to look like? OH GOD I'M A FREAK
It's probably a mystery how such pictures get greenlighted.
The thumb's almost bigger than two of her other finger glued together!
Okay, Street Fighter has never been about charakters taken straight from the real life, but what's with the game's charakters and anatomical deformations? I always thought how absurdly small Ryu's head looks compared to the rest of his body, it sure looks quite freakish...
The new hi-res 2D King of Fighters is looking better and better compared to Street Fighter IV.
Wow, I actually just got nauseous.
@Dannon: Just about to say that... :)
JERRY: She had man-hands.
ELAINE: Man, Hands?
JERRY: The hands of a man. It's like a creature out of Greek Mythology, I mean, she was like part woman, part horrible beast.
ELAINE: Would you, prefer it, if she had, no hands at all?
JERRY: Would she have hooks?
ELAINE: Do uh, do hooks make it more attractive, Jerry?
JERRY: Kinda cool lookin'..
All the better to bitch slap you with.
Uh oh, Chun-Li has man-hands and Ryu has an erection. What's next, Capcom?
"My Chun Li what big hangs you have"
"Yes, perfect for cupping your head in my comely bosom"
"My Chun Li what big thighs you have"
"Yes, perfect for..............."
OH DEAR GOD, please, someone please have a heart
PUT HER OUT OF HER MISERY! Have some Compassion!!!
Man-Hands! Is there anything worse? Hairy legs on a woman, maybe.
Whoa. Quato-Thumb!
@thinkfreemind: Chun Li's definitely not a low talker, she could easily fit into the bracket of being a high talker but I think that's okay for girls.
I think it's time to go through Seinfeld again begin to end fortunately for me I have them all on my iPod so I can watch.listen anywhere I go.
Sexy! :P
those are bitch slap hands! lol!
Those hands are certainly intimidating. Seems that we also have some Dorian Yates caliber forearm development striking down in the ladies of SFIV.

HUGE hands are HUGE
Double-jointed thumbs are awesome.
Dunno about that webbing on the palm though. Don't drink the water in Linfen.
She should consider a career with thumb wrestling instead of street fighting *bada-bum chii!*
I thought Japanese censorship laws would only require the thumb be blurred out...
They are not just man-hands. The thumb looks dislocated. She should seek medical help.
She'd give one painful handjob.
If we chop it in half vertically, this could actually be the six-fingered umm.. person... that Inigo Montoya's been looking for...
When she makes a hand puppet it looks like Robert Z'Dar.
OMG, CHUN-LI HAS PENIS THUMBS !!!
=:O
Jesus christ that hand is fucking huge.
Er...wow
She looks like of of those lobster-claw people from the old freakshows!
Holy crap, her Kikouken will actually be useful now
Hahaha lets hope she's right handed (that left hand certainly isn't gripping anything properly)
I'm praying that's an angle of perspective. Aw well, flyswatter hands!
Maybe we can expect a thumb wrestling Bonus round.
Ikeno did a picture of Chun-Li for SF3 in this same exact pose and it was PERFECT.
SF4 just fails on all accounts.
Jesus, her whole body looks man like. I understand being buff...and hell, it's even more realistic that she would have that kind of build for "street fighting". It just doesn't look right!
Freaky thumb is freaky.
Is distorted perspective. Like these "eye balls" images of cute dogs.
@Zyzex_Remix: Bewbs.
And Chun li's been pretty buff waaaay before SF4.
Wow..... let see, Huge muscular legs, In this pic seems to have very muscular arms, has freakishly huge hands.... i think its time, she needs to go on the Maury show where the audience guesses the gender.
And I thought her legs were freakish enough.
What woman wouldn't love a triple threat from Chun-Li; Now that's the real question?(!)
That's her going "THIS is why I use my legs more than my hands!" And then she pokes you in the eye with her freaky lobster-thumb.
You know what they say about huge hands...
I'm not sure myself, but there has to be something to it.
dude im ermmmmm
quite scared
Please God, make them change the hands. Please!!! The hands, they come for me!
Geez, is that a tumor growing off her hand? Oh, that's her thumb.
Well hey, if we got them to get rid of the hotdog arms, we shouldn't have trouble with a freaking hand, right? MAN THE HARPOONS!
the blur ... it does nothing!
And that, children, is why you shouldn't play too much Nintendo.
wow.. her other hand looks just as ugly..
It looks more like a dick is growing out of her palm. Side effect of masturbating too much?
I've seen a loooooot of pictures of Chun Li masturbating. You would think she has a chronic addiction to it or something!
Look at the size of that...
...ehrm...
thumb.
I think capcom is outsourcing for child labor in China & India:P
Cause only a 12 year old would draw such shit :P
Give the girl a break. She isn't the only one with peculiarly deformed digits.
