Fei Long Theory Fighter/General Discussion

Brian, really good catch on the missing Fuerte match-up. I just added it to an existing section. I’ll post there later with some ideas on the match. A good Fuerte screws me up too.

I just want to say… screw all this oni akuma, evil ryu crap… I’m more excited about tomorrow when fei gets his suit!

Tomorrow?!?! Omfg it’s like Christmas with bacon on top.

SSF4 AE devs on Ken, Vega, Rufus, F. Long, Juri & Dhalsim : News : EventHubs.com

So nothing amazing, but we now have info on Fei’s EX Rekkas as far as frame advantage/disadvantage. It’s as expected, nothing special. EX Rekka x1 is +2 on hit though, so maybe as a meaty/counterhit we’d get +5 total (hit with the 2nd frame, get +2 from Counter hit). Wouldn’t get too excited; it seems such a waste when cl.MP does a much better job as a meaty.

yeah notice all that initial hype from people that were posting here about how good they were…in most of the AE vids i hardly see any Fei players using them. That “free” to get in talk was nothing but people riding the hype, nothing special about them that 2 normal well space Lp rekkas can’t do, because all in all you can still be interrupted on startup or whatever. I was looking forward to hearing about Fei’s normals more than this as i figured it wouldn’t be too big of a deal.

So looking at the frame data, it seems that in regular ssf4, the 1st EX rekka is -4 on hit? Then it looks like he may have gotten a reduction in his recovery by 6 frames… that’s pretty huge. I posted in the lab thread that EX rekka anti air combos into 2 hits of ultra1. If we have 6 extra frames, maybe EX rekka anti air can combo into 3 hits of the ultra?

I think there are situations where EX rekka can work as an anti air from a distance (note that it certainly works better as an anti air than a regular rekka). On the other hand, if you only get 2 ultra hits, the damage doesn’t really seem worth it. If you can get an extra hit out of it maybe it could be usable.

Anyway, this would be cool to test.

ok I know this is off topic but I waited a long time as we all did for Fei’s 3r alt. So I woke up at 5am est to purchase the costume and I got a few games in to test out some colors [media=youtube]K0f4eroipus[/media]

The new alt is pretty nice looking… but with these latests alts your opponent can only see it if they bought it right? Then I don’t get the point… It’s like buying a nice new jacket that no one else can see…

Only on PS3 they will be unable to see them but on the Xbox if they downloaded the free packs they can see it without purchasing them.

hmm, maybe that means I didn’t dl the free pack lol. thx

Idk if its me but I swear in AE feis mk dp is two hits now :frowning:

I sometimes get HK FK instead of MK FK in Super now, maybe it’s something similar to that where it’s just a botched input because of the sensitivity of the buttons making you not realise you’ve hit HK first.

It might be that, but I’d be surprised if it was changed without any mention though so… :shake:

Its two hits on point blank block and point blank on focus attacks, but will not net two hits if it connects. It’s been that way since vanilla if i recall correctly.

Oh I see I hope that’s the case. I’ll have to test more.

Really? So my fingers aren’t being retarded and accidentally hitting HK???

Edit - Well I’ll be…

For some reason I think Capcom forgot to “link” hitbox morphs for Fei’s flame kick like with Ryu’s DP. A tiny worthless glitch that can’t even smack Boxer out of his EX dash punches in time.

It’s nice for beating Focus in general, but a rare occurrence indeed. IMO they should’ve just made MK Flame Kick a 2-hitter like HK and gave LK the same invincibility as the others; that would give us some use for LK Flame Kick other than for whiffing.

I think they should just reduce the recovery of LK flame kick to Ryu’s LP DP level so that it has use as a meter builder. Bit too late for this as the final version is already out.

If they did that image how much more hate Fei would get. All I hear in CTF is that “Fei is cheap” when they see me, the funny thing is nobody picks him besides Min and Art. And they know how to play the game and all but there Fei is plain as plain can be. No setups to Tenshin or tricks that Fei main’s like us use. For example, Min was using Fei and he fought a Balrog. Min neutral jumped caught Rog rush punch with his HK. We would all use hp>hp.rekka, hp>hk.fk, hp>mk.fk>fadc>U1 or last hk>U1

He instead went for cl.mp>sweep. With the untech knockdown you would think he would go for a cross up. Well he just stood there and let him get up with no wakeup pressure. So I don?t get where they say he is so cheap? I guess they just like to take shots at me because of my interviews.

he is cheap. trying to be fancy with those setups you just put up wont help you much against balrog.
