Mai Shiranui is probably the most revered fighting game girl of all time. She's spawned a veritable industry in paraphenalia in Japan. I've even got a Mai figurine sitting on the shelf next to my Rei and Kenshin figures =). I suspect that if Satoshi Urushihara had designed Chun Li a few years later than he originally had, that she'd take the top spot given Urushihara's fall to the dark side of hentai in recent years ;).
The only other girl I've seen share Mai's success is Kasumi from Dead or Alive. I guess there's just something about that blue outfit they both wear =).
