"Yeah... that's a very interesting Chun-Li costume there," one of the tournament commenters said after a few seconds of the match, before the tournament rapidly cut away from the match with a naked Chun-Li.

Capcom's in the midst of a golden age of sales with banger title after banger title, with or without nude mods.
