These already work:
HK CW > cr.LK, cr.LP, st.LP, cr.MP xx super
HK CW > cl.HP xx super
Still baffled as to why they’d change the startup. Not complaining, but I still don’t see the logic.
Cancelling a blocked st.LP into EX tenshin works nicely. That’s about it, though.
Yeah hit-confirming the move is all fine and dandy, but what about AFTER it.
Ex should have been instantaneous. And it should give you more time to do shit after, Foot Flip into Ultra should work every time.
I generally just go with cl.HP xx MK flamekick. FADC into HK CW, ultra if I have the meter.
We don’t know that yet; best bet is to wait til the game comes out and test it.
yeah, im not gonna go all crazy about how 3s characters make fei look shitty, but they make fei look shitty. low jab>low strong/foward links, super cancellable target combos, comboable overheads, mix up options, workable combo friendly ultras. im jealous. they got a bunch of shit that raises the bar on what to expect out of a non fireball based character.
with the buffs that the current bottom tier vega and guile got, and the non buffing of fei, its looking like fei might be bottom 2-3. that might not mean he will be bad, but there are characters that will do what he does, but 10x better
the only hope is that they are holding out on some secret shit that “makes all up close characters better”, like target combos for all…
Jesus I hope he can. LOOOORD knows Fei needs it. Ibuki gets a f’ing normal into super jump cancellable ultra, and Fei can’t get his ultra off of a crappy infinity startup command grab?
Dudley can do almost 50% of your HP from an overhead with a full bar
really all that fei needs is his dp fadc ultra 1 to work right, if they just fixed that its all gravy. but seriously, ibuki and dudley put fei to shame. im still not convinced makoto does.
wow, i just watched that makoto video, and she gets FULL ultra off a command grab. I hope the Super version of Fei Long has some strong things like that.
I’m planning on playing Makoto, but as soon as I saw her command grab into ultra I was like, wow, Fei better get that shit for real.
^ if he doesn’t… i am just gonna be so dumbstruck. Like what was that dev thinking.
One thing that comes to mind is that they are hardcore about bruce lee’s philosophy: "oh lets give him a counter ultra it complements “the way of the intercepting fist”.
Watch this from 3:23 [media=youtube]I-iKNsbqcH4[/media]
The devs need to relax the link of fei-long to bruce lee and actually look at him in terms of game play. Sadly, it all points to one assumption that devs actually don’t play the game to the level the we do. Lets hope they make the cr. mp linkable and his over head. I’ll be happy with that.
It takes years~decades to become a great developer of fighting games. Don’t get too upset Fei Long wasn’t given child proof tools to shoot up tier ranks … Its nearly impossible to keep a fighting game balanced and still have diversity, verity, and fun within the game. If you want absolute balance go play rock paper scissors or something.
As sad as I am about Fei being weak, not every one can be top tier, I’m sure he’ll have his day in one game, like Sakura in CvS2 or Chun in 3s.
I’m not a Fei player,i use him rarely,but one question
I was thinking that with FA faster,as buff they can make Fei able to combo a FAlv2 after first punch of rekka ken… maybe is a stupid theory,but this will give him many many ways to land his Ultra1… no?
Another quick question: it’s me or f+HK suck?
Sakura is top in A3 also, Chun was top in A2. Most of the cast have been top at one point or another. There are only a hand full of characters that are universally bad and one of them is Fei.
Well no point in these suggestion threads now since the game is on the verge of release. Either look forward to a massive uphill battle or just pick one of the 3S characters.
It’s not you bro, it DOES suck. I’d love it if it was his old hopping stepkick, something to move you forward at least… but as it is now, it’s just something to screw you up when trying AA s.rh
Fei was actually pretty damn good in A3. Rekkas were soooo good. …and c.hp was anti-poke, anti-flip, anti-crossup, anti-air, spam that shit all day. lol
Dragon Crawww!
Don’t understand why you bring the argument of dev’s being great and fei’s teir ranks. What i am stating is the dev’s lackluster of how they view fei. As far as teir ranks it depends on the person using fei. He is not low teir.
A few tweaks in his CW (getting more +on hit) and his ability to combo of different moves like cr.mp or overhead will go miles for his pressure game; tag a fix for his ultra 1 and he is set.
they don’t even really need to change CW, if they just changed the input alone that’ll help him quite a bit too.
I wish they gave fei the option of being able to cancel his overhead to super as well, I mean his EX moves aren’t that great to begin with.
Fei just needs more combos, better safety, more damage… better use of his pokes… and I think he’d be alright. As much trouble as he has getting in I think he should be able to combo off of his overhead. They could do some really impressive stuff with him but it seems they’re terrified of actually making him good. Seeing that dudley has a lot of what I wanted in Fei though… I gotta wonder what they’re holding back now. Combo off overhead… good mid ranged pokes into specials… a move that goes through fireballs safely, easy combos into ultra. Dudley’s f+mk (or is it mp… the sliding frame advantage punch) is like fei’s cl.MP… except you don’t need to be in their face. Dudley is the close range fighter Fei wants to be. So maybe… JUST MAYBE… Fei will get put on Dudley’s level.
