Mai Shiranui
A 1997 article in "Game On! USA", highlighted her, Chun Li, Mai Shiranui, and Jill Valentine as the female "video game characters who have marked the near absurd level of popularity." In 2008, "FHM" listed Michelle as one of the "female vixens that are equally tough and certainly hot", representing "Tekken" along with Nina Williams and Christie Monteiro. "Complex" featured Michelle among the 50 "hottest women in video games" in 2010, and ranked her as the 13th "best looking sideline chick in games" in 2011.
