[up] Of those I like the first and third the best. The clothes work the best. First is probably my favourite.

[up][up] The top of the head on the first two images are cropped off :(

I like this Chao, for wearing both odango and a qipao: [down]

Chun-Li is also good, and more iconic.

It's too bad the images of Xiangua are kind of weak for this, I love that character.

[up]That's a pretty good pic, but I'd like to see a little more of her in it; is it taken from a larger pic?

IMO, since the odango are completely visible in the pics I suggested, having the very top of her head off-frame isn't that big an issue.

I GIS'd Xianghua but didn't like any of the pics I found, which is sad because I liked her outfits and the jian she used in SC 2.

I still like 1 the most. 3 is a close second.

[up][up]It is cropped from a larger picture, but she's standing behind someone.

[up]I agree, 1 is good.

[up][up][up] "...having the very top of her head off-frame isn't that big an issue..."'

I think a poor crop makes an image look bad, and the image looking good is more important than depicting odangos, imo.

Yeah, it's the cover art to vol. 9...couldn't find a pic of the cover that would be big enough to use as a replacement.

I had thought that this one was a fan colored drawing but the page I thought it was she has a completely different outfit [1][2] I have no idea why that little part is cut off at the top (I dont think it detracts from the image though when its on the page) [3] This outfit colored would be perfect... :(

What about Mulan?. I dont know what are the rules regarding an image, but could one out of a google search be used?

[up] Mulan is not an example of this trope.

Crowner time?

If there is anyway character that should be in the trope pic then it's gotta be chun-li.

Here are a couple pics to get started 1 2 3

[up] Of those, the first is the best (second one is horrible artwork) but IMO none are better than the earlier one.

#39: Dec 4th 2010 at 8:51:28 PM

Doh, I liked the style of the second one best :) But IMO none are good, should be an anime-style picture I think.

edit: Oh, the first is kinda-sorta anime style, isn't it? But if that is chosen, would whomever resizes/uploads the image please increase the height a bit so it doesn't look like her hair bun is cut off?

We got a lot of examples, lets have a crowner and pick one.

Crowner made.

EDIT: Added the Chao pictures and the Chun Li from the first page because they had the most favorable response. If anyone else has any other good pictures, feel free to add them.

I'll say it again, but I'm in favor of the Pai Chan image I found a while back. [1] She has the same visual cues as Chao does, with the added benefit of striking a Chinese martial arts pose (Mizongquan, according to the game's wiki), and looking a bit more physically Chinese.

I think that's a good image as well, but we'll wait to see what ends up on top of the crowner.

If it's not too late, I'd like add a suggestion: Lynn Minmei (Macross/Robotech) in her qipao outfit. I'm no anime historian, but it strikes me as one of the oldest examples of the trope, no?

Uh, yeah, Minmei is good: (1) - (2)

...but not martial-artsy. According to TOW she is Japanese-Chinese. May be too late, but added these two to crowner.

The link for the Pai Chan image in the crowner is broken, it redirects to the mainpage of the site hosting the image.

Oh, it works for me, directly to the image; will put it back to an html link. (Which I think is lame, but, apparently the other doesn't work.)
