Fei Long Master Guide

never posted before! lurrrrrrrk :slight_smile:

i’ve always wanted to play fei since vanilla, i just never got around to picking up sf4. before this i played clockwork in mvc2 and that’s about it. my first sf4 character, honest!

:bluu:

we don’t believe you, you need more people. lol

hahhaa no worries,

Should I link to Starnab’s existing MTUP threads or will someone make/manage a new set of MTUPs? I’m not up for that challenge since I’m already doing this part.

Well Nos it wouldn’t be a bad idea to link them, the idea you presented in post #19 sounded fine. I’d suggest though due to how much it will consist of to put something like that together we should just start out with his bad matchups…the charge cast. I feel alot of info will start to get redundant at some point, especially with alot of his matchups tend to use similar strategies. I’d say use the format for the hardest or most troublesome matchups, link Starnabs MTUP for additional info or for the time being. I’ll help out of course.

I see you just edit the post toward the top so nvm. lol I just gave a quick read over on some of the MTUP from Starnab’s post. Alot of the info can still be used however the more current info is towards the end of those post, this what you have started seems more accessible, so i wouldn’t link them. Alot of info base off Vanilla and we know matchups have change in Super somewhat. So its your call.

I guess those topics are dead anyhow and AE’s gonna make things complicated… I’m just not all for making a new set of MTUP threads and having the forum be nothing but MTUP across the board, you know? Maybe a new general discussion thread? But that gets messy as I remember.

One idea I just thought of was to have a few general discussion threads and break down the character listing alphabetically into groups. So we’d have** General Discussion: Abel, Adon, Akuma, Balrog, Blanka** and then, General Discussion: Cammy, Chun-Li, Cody, C. Viper, Dan and about 5 other topics like that. It would be easier to manage I think, but someone needs to be able to keep each thread updated so the front post has all the info. Again, I’m not up for it. I could maybe manage one thread like that, but I’d need a hand for the other 6.

Hmmm so more of an indepth guide so to speak, because this one more of a quick reference i take it. I see, well i’ll manage one of them, i’m guessing just reserving the first 6 post and take it from there or some format you’d prefer we start

TC, one of the new threads is up. Note the format I used for it. The match-ups are all listed alphabetically in the match-ups section on the 3rd-4th post.

Cammy, Chun-Li, Cody, C.Viper, Dan General discussion is up.

special request: does anyone have that list someone made that detailed who would get crossed over by meaty CW on a crouching opponent in the corner? i’ve been looking up and down but i just can’t find it

link to the post if you remember where it came from! <3

Ill get that posted when i get back, i have the list ur talking abt.

Nosone did a write up on it, here is the link. Fourth page in combo compendium like a 1/4 down the page

If you can master the corner cross-up CW > cl.hp > XXX you will be doing yourself a huge favor as it is crazy hard to block properly. Also this is probably the only time I wil use hk cw in AE lol

Dyllyn, I got it on there now. Check the first post for T37 Rampage’s chart.

How about a Footsies thread that you can link here…?

I’m sure someone’s done a write-up of footsie basics, but I don’t know where that may be. If someone could link it here, I’ll append it to the front post. Footsies vs each character can be discussed in the General Discussion topics for the character match-ups.

FAQ is tentatively finished. If you guys think of any more common questions feel free to post them.

To answer my own question, the “How Not to Suck at Fei Long” Guide (already linked in this thread) does go over Fei’s more useful pokes and normals.

Not sure if Samurai wants to elaborate or update it for Super and/or AE, or if he wants to add stuff on proper spacing, etc., or both.

The dev blog will be coming soon with hitbox changes, etc. I posted a link to Momentousceltic’s thread on Fei’s hitboxes in anticipation and for reference.

It looks as if the main thread is getting there now, it’s looking really good dude. lol btw nosone I came accross this guide for Vanilla on Gamefaqs today when looking through my bookmarked sites. And then I noticed the author lol. I think when I read that it was like a Street Fighter Bible to me, right before I bought Super and joined the forums. That thing must have taken tonnes of time.
