QUOTE:
Okamoto: You know how each character has a life bar? At one point, I wanted to make the power gauge for Chun-Li [in Street Fighter II] shorter than for the other characters because women are not as strong. But Nishitani didn't want to do that. We both had legitimate reasons, but then we came to an agreement to not make it shorter.
Shimomura: I had no idea [Mr. Okamoto suggested that]. I think that since women live longer maybe their life bars should be longer. [Laughs]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreiav4oarrcyndbyj7nfx27hsfdcg7sykymhlsu5q3o5pvgtt72q3u4)
