agreed he can be use effectively. He just lack the tools to do decent damage like other characters. Look at Ibuki, Dudley, and Sagat for instance.
pretty sure that doesnt work Dan. Cammy will recover before your Ultra hits and youll just eat another combo.
You gonna have to make do with his BnB to punish that, cl.HP>rekkas or something or make do with his crappy partial ultra setups.
Nice one, thanks 
Im going to have to curb this habit of doing c.MP c.MP c.HP… Im becoming FAR too predictable with it.
No, you can punish with your Ultra but the timing is really strict. Same with a blocked Blanka Ultra.
I thought you have to do a forward dash then ultra to punish Cammy’s blocked ultra. Timing isn’t that tight, but can be screwed by online lags occasionally.
Super on the other hand, is much easier to time even without the dash.
FeiLong’s ultra is pretty inferior to his super imo. Easier to combo into, more damage output (add a cl.hp or hk beforehand), controllable travel distance etc.
You can also fish for his super by sticking out cr.mp just out of range and buffering the motion. Or you can even hit confirm it off cr.mp x 2.
I mean I completely agree, I do think fei’s shortcoming is his low reward gameplay and lack of a comeback factor. I’ve tried to get good at whiff punishing with ultra but that only comes up so much and it’s not as easy as say… with Cammy. As I’ve said many times if he could use his ultra in some way, he’d probably shoot up a ton on tier lists just because of that. Sagat was a piece of shit to fight because he basically nullified half your life bar and only had to hit you 2-3 times where as Fei had to hit him many many times and even with a lead, Sagat could just get it back without much work.
Geif is sort of the same way in that you can be keeping him out the whole round but he gets a lucky EX greenhand and then you die before you can ever get away from him. He’s got a really stupid character design IMO. t.Hawk may actually be easier to deal with as his uppercut will be much easier to punish than lariat. I’ve had situations where lariat was completely unpunishable after blocking it due to the timing of the hits. The shit is gay.
But, there is atleast one matchup that’s stacked as fuck. I think you can beat Abel with JUST MK chickenwing, lol.
Also I think people should be more quick to blame themselves for losses than their character. When you die to rekkas being punished for half life by Sagat, ok, blame Fei. If you die to someone’s ultra because you tried to punish them with your own ultra but only the first hit connected, that’s Fei. But if you’re losing because you repeatedly do unsafe stuff like constantly chicken winging over them, poorly spacing your rekkas, having your DP beat out as an anti air because you mistimed it, or dying to someone out poking you, that’s your own fault.
From the interview with UK’s capcom Leo
With all the existing fighters getting a new Ultra do you think anyone of them now has a surprisingly different game they can play?
Some of the charge characters have a non-charge Ultra now, which has quite a significant impact on how they play. Some of them are just plain cooler (like Ryu?s), and some are more for fun than tournament play. Usually, though, the new Ultra makes up for something in a poor match up.
You see they probably already know counter ultra isnt too useful. So hopefully they did something to buff up fei. What’s interesting is that I’ve always thought a counter ultra would be good only for CERTAIN matchups. The ones I could name off the top of my head are gief, rog, and characters that abuse safe attacks, like if you find a shoto who abuses crouch mk. Those being I would assume most people agree that those are some of the poor matchups for fei even though the poor line gets ever so more hazy the more you play the game.
You da best! 
Don’t get me wrong, Fei’s bullshit makes up for a lot of losses but a lot more come down to me. I’m under no illusions that I’m a great player.
I’m not against the idea of working for my wins (I alt Gen and Elf, after all), but when that work amounts to twice as much as the Ryus and the Sagats in the game for only half the reward, you get annoyed. Add to that the fact that Fei really doesn’t have many viable options, and that he can’t make comebacks without a lucky ultra, and you get mad. I’ve said it a few times, but I find SF4 Fei worse than ST Fei, which is saying something. Say what you will about ST Fei – at least he worked exactly as he was meant to.
I can’t wait for Super so that a) I can play a fixed up Fei Long or b) I can boot him into the corner and pretend he never existed while I go have fun with Guy and his buddies.
amen, well kinda, ill still side fei.
lol epic post, but Booting Fei into the corner :wow: surely he would simply Chicken Wing back out and Rekka your face, Waaa chaaa and thats that.
Im hopefull that all this Hype and assumptions about SSFIV prove to be all laughable when the game is out. Surely someone at Capcom Towers has seen that Blankas silly amount of bounce back off his rolls is making Fei players the world over cry tears of perpetual sadness, and that Balrog’s/Ryu’s/Sagats easy Ultra setups have Fei players feeling shortchanged when his Rekka Shin Geki is useless outside of Focus attacking or punishing mistakes that are silly and deserved to be punished. there is someone under the Capcom payroll who is demanding that 3 hits off a FADC is just not fair.
All crying aside tho… I quote Fei:
“A glass that is half empty is better than a full glass broken” :nunchuck:
This is me ducking under the chickenwing and sweeping all day.
I’m a good enough player, and as a fei user in HDR I can easily say that fei is infact not a good character. He isn’t terrible, I would say he is just average…low tier for sure and certainly not mid tier.
Well FA charges up faster apparently so hopefully that’ll make up somehow since he has a sick FA.
I think Fei was worse than he is in 4 in ST comparatively. Like… ST Fei BY HIMSELF I believe is better than SF4 Fei but, the amount of bullshit in that game was a lot higher so he was actually worse compared to how he is in 4.
If you took ST Fei and put him in 4 I think he’d be a monster.
It would depend, the damage scalling and reversal windows would hurt fei’s game. He would be good no doubt infact he would be great lol. Regardless though, Ill still be maining fei in SSF4…even if he does become bottom tier.
Looking for some feedback on my Fei add my PSN for some mirror matches.
I really want to use Fei but he’s just so bad… and he got a counter ultra (which I believe can be armor broken) Couldn’t they just make his rekkas stronger ? :sad:
