Fei Long Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

[Epicberry]

From what I understand with the FADC CW ultra, we use the medium one now since it connects 3 times right? (and is HK one just char specific?) Following through this, is there a specific timing we need to get the ultra out? I’m a new fei long player so I just have the basics of medium FK -> FADC-> MK/HK (still not sure which to use) CW down but I realized my main problems are either I hit twice with the HK CW or my ultra comes out when the person is below my waist, but when I try doing it earlier, nothing comes out. Am I also right in understanding that fei long was changed so that ultra does connect 3 times regardless now?

You’re most likely doing the CW too soon, delay just a bit after FADC. The timing is the same for both HK and MK versions. The timing on ultra after that is different however. For HK CW, it works on most of the cast to juggle for 3 hits into ultra and the ultra timing is easier and more forgiving. If you use the MK CW the ultra timing is more narrow/strict though it does do more damage. Sometimes you don’t even need to go into CW > ultra to get the round if you don’t want to risk dropping it, simply Fk > FADC > delay until they fall down and ultra. It will juggle three hits on everyone.

Yeah I’m still here! Well I wish I was going, didn’t make it last year and can’t make it this year since I’ve just moved to Australia maybe ill make it next year!

Where in Australia? We have a scene here, small but decent players.

Perth! There’s a local every two weeks but it’s been hard for me to make it. I’m trying to get there this week though!

Well holy shit. I live in Perth and am part of the scene from time to time! Are you playing online at the minute?

Come to think of it , did you post on Oz hadou a few weeks back?

[The_USF_Don]

Haha yeah I did, was looking for a scene. I think there’s a bi weekly at game city in Raine Square tomorrow, I’m trying to go. I just got a ps4 but no stick and minimum games so I haven’t played in forever.

I’m down to session whenever, I’m living in woodlands so I guess let me know what’s available.

The twins (Dam and Dom) usually organise the tourneys. Next house casuals we have when I go I’ll give you a shout, sometimes the tourney’s drag on and you end up with only a handful of games. They are still pretty well run though.

PS I don’t play Fei now, I play Sagat!

Not really , I go maybe once every few months. I work in the mining industrie so sometimes I’m away. It’s still good fun when I can make it.

A couple of quick questions:

• OS-ing rekka in the string c.LK > s.LP is basically doing c.LK qcf+LP, right? What should be used against characters that s.LP whiffs on when crouching? (edit: found out, I started OSing c.HP with c.LK > c.PPP > c.LK)
• How do people attack with this guy? My successful offense yesterday was less about close-range pressure and more about getting to a sweetspot and frustrating people with his great buttons, then punishing whenever they made a bad call. How’s he usually played close range? Just a couple of moves to push him to c.MP / c.MK-range? Or do people use things like flamekick FADC or tenshin setups regularly(I couldn’t get people to bite on either of these)?
• Any tips when it comes to AA-ing with him? I kept getting MK/HK flamekick beaten yesterday and often had to resort to EX. I also had an issue of people managing to jump at the exact times I was shifting focus to the groundgame after waiting for a jump (thus making it hard to react), though that was just good play on their part. Should I sit down in training mode and practice reacting and timing them? And should I use the DP shortcut rather than doing an actual RDP-motion?

Answers are appreciated. Had a lot of fun with playing Fei yesterday.
