In fact, when CAPCOM released Street Fighter 4, it also took a big risk!
In 2009, when fighting games were in decline, almost all the arcade halls closed down, and fighting games could only be released on console platforms, which had no future at all. At this point, CAPCOM had the audacity to create a game that they knew would not be a hit, which was tantamount to looking for death! But it turned out to be the opposite, as 2009 was an important time for the rise of online battles, and the release of Street Fighter 4 was just the right time to do it.
This game is also the release of the game, completely opened the fighting games again the prelude to the boom, a large number of professional players to make the fighting event continues to be hot, and with the passage of time more and more fighting games to join in this event, laid the development of the next ten years or so.
Immediately after the success of Street Fighter 4, CAPCOM recognized the need to create new characters to replace the old with the new and bring in the younger generation of gamers. So, in Super Street Fighter 4 and Ultimate Street Fighter 4, CAPCOM added a lot of fresh blood, among them, Han Sparrow Li, Dicapri, Poison, Ibuki, and the main character is Han Sparrow Li, who has become the most popular character of the new generation in the Street Fighter 6 period.
The original look of Han Soliloquy
The original design of the bib was a tattoo, meaning that Han was originally seen naked in battle.
This design was recreated in Street Fighter 6. I guess people didn’t realize it! But with the slight addition of a jacket, it looks less abrupt.
The black stripes are all tattoos, but you can’t really tell unless you look closely. Don’t you feel that the little girls nowadays are really trendy? I should say that the designers are keeping up with the times! Nowadays, this kind of dress is very popular in some circles, and even we may see it on the streets of big cities.
Nowadays, let’s go back to the original design of this figure and you’ll see that there are many things that subvert the view.
Han Spider Li’s original design was this one in the upper left corner
If you purchased the original Street Fighter IV, you’ll be able to see the original scrapbook. This features a plethora of oddly shaped characters that were originally scrubbed between the first and second trials. Among them are the Genki Granny, the burly, violent man, the hippie, the Master of Rhythm, the female assassin, the Shadowloo assassin, the Shadowloo executive.
Some of the nudity has been removed from the second version of the image, so I hope you’ll forgive me.
The second version of Han has been identified as a taekwondo girl from South Korea. The attire requirement is to minimize the fabric. The image will be chosen from Lee Jung-hyun or national costume.
Image of the third version of Han Spider Li
The hairstyle has been decided and the color tone is purple. At this point the discussion is already about whether to wear pants or shorts and what jacket to wear.
The fourth version of Han Li’s image is the finalized image, with all the details designed.
At this time, we will find that Han Spider Li is wearing a Korean-style bib, barely able to cover all the chest. The previous chest tattoo design was canceled, but obviously can feel the designer’s reluctance. During the Street Fighter V period, the design was compensated for in other ways.
Han Spider Li Ying Luo Costume
The first version of the image was Fang’s apprentice! Hustler Superior Spider Special Attack Costume
Street Fighter V saw the first appearance of the new Four Heavenly Kings, and the character filling in for Shagat was Fang Fei. The game was originally designed with Han Spider Li being Fang Fei’s apprentice, and that’s exactly why he’s so berserk. However, this led to a disjointed plot and even conflicted with some of the officially licensed comics, and the setting was eventually scrapped.
Obviously, though, this design was given to Ghost, who appeared during the Street Fighter 6 era. Another existence that is incompatible with heaven and earth.
Shadowloo Undercover Special Attack Suit
After betraying Seth, Han Spider Li briefly works for Shadowlaw. Vega knew what she had in mind, but let her go to develop. During this time, Han Spider Li wore a combat suit provided by the Shadowlaw Group. Unfortunately, Han Spider Li was eventually exposed, and her fate seemed to be unchangeable, being tapped by Vega for the Feng Shui Engine, resulting in a much weaker strength at some point.
Shadowlaw Mechanical Battle Armor Suit
The Shadowlaw Group had specially created a mechanical battle armor for Han Spider Li, and after wearing this costume both attack and defense, as well as agility would be greatly improved.
After failing to assassinate Vega, Han Li was forced to leave Shadowloo, but she was taken in by Corinne of the Illuminati and recovered her strength with her help.
The final clapboard look is the gel coat image, and the battle suit is provided by the Illuminati.
Street Fighter 6 Han Spider Li image was updated again, this time the designers have designed more than a dozen skins. But in the end, none of them were retained.
In this version, the whitewashed Han Spider Li has vaguely possessed the aura of the protagonist, and the addition of the younger generation of fighters seems to indicate that this will be a renewal of the old and the new.

Finalized image and skin
It’s clear that CAPCOM favored this character so much that they basically gave her all the popularity boosts. Which intentionally hidden private goods, become players after dinner talk. Nowadays, when we search for Han Spider Li tattoos in the major search engines some more interesting topics and images come up.
That’s right, these are fond memories belonging to the arcade era.
Nowadays, when we look back on these games, we will always sigh the years.
The arcade players of that year have long passed their prime, and the time to play games is getting less and less, but the nostalgia for the game hall is increasing day by day.
The game hall of the bits and pieces are still fresh in our minds, after all, this is our best youth ah!
In fact, we are still very lucky, when you can access to so many wonderful arcade games, enough to use the rest of your life to reminisce.
