Li Mei in Deadly Alliance
Deadly Alliance saw the first appearance of Li Mei. She had a kind of 'Lucy Liu' feel to her and she could pull off intricate combos and gymnastic moves. Her story was simple but a little bland.
Story


Konquest Story
Although quite young, Li Mei grew up in the presence of martial arts mastersand can hold her own in a fight. When Kano's troops invaded her homeland underthe banner of the Deadly Alliance, she fought bravely and bested many ofKano's men. She might have defeated Kano himself had Quan Chi not interfered. Baji Quan is a 500 year old Chinese art meaning Eight Extremities Fist.Primarily a close-range style, Baji Quan uses all eight extremities such asthe head, shoulders, elbows, hand, feet, back, hips, and knees. Baji Quan isactively being taught to the Taiwan Military Police. The Baji Quan fighting style is characterized by its sudden release ofexplosive power, and both long and short-range techniques. One of Li Mei's fighting styles is Lui He Ba Fa, or the Kung Fu system of sixharmonies and eight methods. Lui He Ba Fa was developed by Chen Tuan, a famous Taoist of the Later Choi orSung Dynasty, who lived on Mount Hua in Shenshi, China. The style was broughtto Outworld by the martial arts master Bo' Rai Cho some 200 years ago. The Lui He Ba Fa fighting style is famous for the utilization of one's entirebody for spring-like power and movement like a swimming Dragon. Kano's troops destroyed Li Mei's town and enslaved her people. She almostdefeated him once. Prior to 1870, the Sai was carried by special units of the Okinawan police.The Sai most likely migrated to Japan from China, Malaysia, or India where itis also used. The Sai weapon style is known for its lightning strikes, devastating jabs, andhook attacks. You must learn to harness your Fa Jing, or Inner Power. Li Mei has learned tofocus her Fa Jing into a lightning fast projectile she calls the Sparkler. Li Mei has learned to channel her Fa Jing into a powerful special move shecalls the Flying Fists. Your next opponent will be the sorcerer Quan Chi, enslaver of your race. Heand Shang Tsung have forced your people to build a palace fortress, underthreat of death. They have used Kano's loyal army to maintain their controlover its construction. Li Mei's Kartwheel kick causes a deadly strike to the top of her opponent'shead. Quan Chi had seen Li Mei's fighting skills during the attack on her town, andrecognized her formidable warrior spirit. He greatly desired to transplant hersoul into one of the mummified soldiers, and offered to release her people ifshe could win the Deadly Alliance tournament. The tournament was to be held inthe palace once its construction was completed. Li Mei accepted the challengeto free her people. Li Mei's Klock Kick causes a massive uppercut to her opponent.

Ending

Li Mei had been promised that her people would be freed from enslavement if she could win the tournament held by the Deadly Alliance. Now that she had emerged victorious, the true purpose behind the tournament was finally revealed to her. Her soul would be the last one Shang Tsung needed to completely revive the Dragon King's lost army.

Her people would never be freed and Li mei herself would remain trapped inside the mummified remains of a dead soldier... cursed to serve the Deadly Alliance... forever.
