A nickname that I've always had/heard for Chun-Li: Thunder Thighs.
Most interpretations of Chun-Li are the exaggerated female form (the hourglass if you will, with large emphasis on the lower part). Bow in her torso, widen her thighs and hips.
I think penguin is on to something...I wasn't too sure about the shoulder size, but they are extra poofy...it might help to build Chun-Li's form first, then build on top from there. And to echo what everyone is saying......thighs FTW.
Good start. Her whole arm/forearm/ hand lacks definition though. For example elbow area.
Oh and Im gonna say something no one else mentioned till now, thighs .
Post your reference....I think the thing thats bothering everyone is how thick the forearms are....the arm looks really tubular, there's no transition from the bicep to the forearm.

heres the base mesh
I used reference imagery of a average female build (hence the small thighs originally), and I'm still not sure where the proportions are wrong
and heres the progress on zbrush atm
