Reception
Christie has been featured in several lists of the "hottest girls" of video games. GameDaily listed her in their "Babes of Tekken" article, stating "When it comes to Tekken, no character moves as gracefully as Christie." She additionally appeared in their "Babes We're Thankful For" article, stating while attractive, "she can break a guy's arms and legs in seconds. We love a girl that stands up for herself." GameDaily also listed her on the "Top 25 Hottest Game Babes" list, ranking her second behind Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series. Heavy.com listed her at #20 on their list of "The 20 Hottest Video Game Girls". UGO Networks placed Christie at #14 on their list of "Fighting Games' Finest Female Fighters", commenting that she's "totally foxy". In 2010, Christie and Michelle Chang tied at #13/#12 on Complex's list of "The 50 Hottest Women In Video Games" and listed out the similarities between them. In 2012, Complex did a revised list of "The 50 Hottest Women In Video Games", where she ranked at #12. Christie ranked at #7 at PopCrunch.com's list of "10 Hottest Video Game Babes Ever", saying she is "Tekken’s hottest babe by far". Christie was featured in a "Today's Girl" article by Maxim, where they call her a "barefoot babe" and a "pixilated princess". MSN Technology listed Christie as the 4th hottest video game character, calling her an improvement upon Eddy. Joystiq list Christie at #9 on their list of "The top ten girls of PSP", complimenting her dance-like moves. GameFront ranked Christie's breasts as the 22nd best in gaming history.
GamesRadar, on the other hand, has criticized Christie for having nearly exactly the same moveset as Eddy, even though they thought she looked promising. IGN has criticized Christie for being a button masher character in Tekken 4, but was happy they toned her down in Tekken 5. Honest Gamers comments about Christie being hot, saying "Namco seems to understand that the largely male demographic likes to see hot women bouncing around, and Christie is about as hot as they come." She was featured in a "Gaming's Most Inappropriate Outfits Ever" by Now Gamer and they commented "Cheapness aside, we can’t get our head around how Christie’s top manages to stay on as she spins and rolls about like Sonic the Hedgehog on speed." In 2012, she was listed as one of the most "ridiculous" Tekken characters by Game Informer, who said "I don't know why Christie thought joining (and inevitably losing) a fighting tournament would save her sick grandpa, but the fact that everyone in her life disappears tells us something about her. Mainly, that she's insufferable".
