Fei Long Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Does that mean I have no reliable answer for his blanka balls other than guessing when he’s gonna do it ?

you can chicken wing it on reaction, easier than flamekicking it

You can tell by the speed of rotation. If it’s not a LP ball, mp rekka for the second and third hits. EX works also I think (not sure)

in the corner:

  1. lv2 focus(blocked) forward dash cLPx Ex tenshin
  2. back throw or forward throw cross up empty jump, cLK into bnb
  3. ex flame kick instant jump forward HK (safe jump for 5 frames)
  4. rekka rekka delayed rekka lol! very dangerous though
  5. cLKx2 :f:MK cLK throw
  6. Round 1 fight! HP rekka
  7. after throw tech: light punch rekka
  8. Focus lv 1 backdash rekka light punch.

do you still want more?

blow him away with medium punch rekka! for the Jab version its slow and you can croch dp it very easily (while crouch blocking press :d::db::b::mk:) on reaction

This works so much more than it should…:smiley:

Sometimes in the corner when I try to do flame kick > FADC > forward dash > RH.CW I miss, i.e. drops too fast or I go under and then I’m in the corner. Is this a timing issue or does this combo only work on certain characters in the corner? Would it work better if I back dashed instead?

It works on all character and it doesnt matter where you are at the screen. use medium kick until you are comfortable and then try the hard kick version

Sorry, but I think you are wrong about this. I just tried it again, and it is definitely not the same timing everywhere on the screen. I can get it 100% of the time anywhere else, but the corner. Medium and hard made no difference. I think I need to delay it a few milliseconds, but I’m not sure. I’ll try it again.

You need to slow down the timing a little. Let them descend until they are just a little above Fei Longs head, and then execute it.

As some who wanted to use fei long back in the vanilla I found him hard to use(partly because i was using a pad to try and do those tough links) so switched to bison. 2 years and a fight stick later I want to go back to the person i set to you use first. What should should be my main priorities. I know i need to work on myy FADC as bison is pretty much the only character i used, i never felt the need to learn until now. I can flame kick-> FADC fine but its the CK that i have issues with. Any tips will be appreciated. I hope to really improve my fei-long as he was always aesthetically pleasing to watch in action.

If by CK you mean chicken wing, then I have a similar problem. Some tips are you must hit at least down-back, down-forward, and up-forward. You also must make sure that you’re not hitting the kick button too early; I noticed sometimes I would get a jumping roundhouse because I was hitting the roundhouse when I was still hitting forward and then negative edging would occur. Other than those, I think it’s important to slow it down and make sure you’re getting the motion correct first. It’s better to be a little slower anyway because if you do it too fast you only get two hits on certain characters. There are characters that get two hits no matter what though.

Ok thanks a lot man. I’ll definitely try what you are saying. I have also looked at the combos sections and was wondering what would be the best combos to practice as a Fei beginner?

  1. HP xx Flame kick for ease and damage
  2. HP xx Rekka for pushing opponents into corners (harder to execute) .
  3. cr.lk x 2 , st.lp , cr-lp xx rekka ( Main bnb , easy hit confirm, but the cr.lp is a link)
  4. HK chicken wing on hit linked to cr.lp xx rekka.

That’s it. You could win 80% of your matches with just those. Everything else involves frame traps, Tenshin or 1 frame links.

For some reason it seems easier for me to do CL.HP after HK CW, instead of CR.LP.

OK thanks a lot.

Might be because it feels like a long link. I pretty much never miss the cr.lp, it’s handy for that distance when your not in range.

Yeah, I think it’s because I wait too long to do the cr.lp. I try hitting it earlier now and I’m getting it more often.

How much frame advantage is feilong when he does FK fadc forward?
