@ Exia 00: Agree man, in same position. I really wanna play FeiLong, but… i dont know, just have to check him out in SSFIV, but it looks like he’s the same as SFIV…so i guess Makoto is the next best choice for Bruce Lee fans?
I wish his ultra 1 was just the ender part of his current ultra, the fly kick bit, at least it’ll be easier to juggle with LOL

I would be just happy if his ultra connected on 1,3,5 instead of 2,4. Instead, they decided to keep it crappy. I just really wanted to know why.
Whats worse is that my secondaries are both Fei and Cammy. When I heard about the counter ultras, I was double pissed.
Wow, that IS a double whammy.
:lol:
On the bright side, Juri was geared towards Fei / Cammy players so you probably have someone right up your alley.
So Capcom said “instead of buffing Fei and Cammy, we’ll make a new character instead”? Unbelieveable…
Where’s my coat?..It was suede with the fringe.
Adding to what I said earlier, they decided to give blanka (my main) a very slow (based on what people have said) ultra 2 and still did not fix how his BB is unsafe on HIT. Icing on the cake is that they are ignoring the PC players. I think Capcom is doing all this to spite me.
I guess bend over and play at my friend’s house with Juri. So sad…
Back on topic: I would also like his CW to be armor breaker on all 3 hits, or at least the first 2. I notice that these counter ultras are probably only good in mirror matches because both fei and cammy have terrible armor breakers…
Give lk. chicken wing a major reduction in startup, make it only 1 hit armour breaking (the flying kick), increase travel speed with frame advantage on block.
Fei longs’ own Tiger Knee.
Never gonna happen. lulz.
i know counter ultra sux, blah, blah, blah, but…

and that was on t.hawk who was probrablly sitting close to 1050/1100 at the time. took him to less than half. i might use it because even if you land it randomly/sparringly, it will kill.
If FA’s have been made faster like they are rumored, then U1 does become somewhat more useful. I don’t know if the damage alone would justify using it.
Good stuff to all Fei players that showed up to Final Round 13… 260 people…i manage to get in the top 40…
I really hate Rufus
gotta mash out moar.lol
good job. I was hoping I could make it out and rep Fei as well but alas. I’m sure I would have died to the Geif / Sagat hordes anyway though. Coulda beat one but there woulda been like 40 more to fight through lol.
No direct offense to any one person, but man… people who play Fei complain about their character more than any other character in all of SF4, including Guile and Vega.
And I mean, he’s not even that bad. He’s not high tier material, but he can hold his own against pretty much everyone in the cast. Rarely do I see a description of what Fei is actually good at (beastly normals in footsies, chicken wing is great against anyone without a DP, rekkas are a good zoning and spacing tool, top 5 focus attack). I mean, sure, complain about your character sometimes, but… give him credit where it’s due, too.
Counter ultra will likely be useless for high-level play, but keep in mind that Capcom caters to a wide variety of players, many of which like things like this to use on their friends. Sometimes they throw it in for that reason.
Is his Cr. MK cancelable this time?
Guile and vega still function as they where normally intended however but just to a much lower scale. Infact, nearly every returning character still retains a essence to there originaly intended style of play. Fei on the other hand went from being a character with a explosive offensive and a good preasure game to a character with weak offensive options and decent defensive properties. This in turn makes him more defensivly driven then he should be since he doesn’t excel at intiating the action so much as he excels at forcing a mistake and hopfully punishing with a low damage combo. To top it off he isn’t able to ultalize the games engine all that well, he can’t combo to a ultra reliably with good damage and his FADC’s are only usefull for tick throws or (yet again) low damage combos. His EX’s are about the only good things he has going for him, but he really has no trully good tools to work with…don’t even bring up his highly situational and gimmicky command grab.
He has no safe specials that don’t require a insane level of spacing and timing (which even then can still be punished) and his pokes are decent…not exceptional just decent. He isn’t garbage, but he didn’t make mid-tier for a reason…he’s just simply the best"worst"character which again is not something to write home about. He has a good FA but FA’s are not what win tournies:wgrin:
They made a shitty ultra for a low tier character who’s main flaw was a shitty ultra lol, in addition to no real buffs all we get is slightly faster specials and a rival character who shows what fei could have been:confused:
I think people complain because while he’s decent… all of his stuff is so very “almost” great. With everything you think “wow, this would be so good, if it wasn’t for-”. Everything is hard links, placement, quickly reacting, staying safe, precision rekkas, precision this, precision that. Tack on the shit ultras with no setups, and it makes him a chore IMO. He’s decent, but it’s a lot of work I think, he’s got no gimmes or easy ways to dish out the hurt, everything good requires precision and is risky.
I don’t mind it though, he’s decent enough, and you should have to work a bit for your wins. I do hope that they did tweak SOMETHING on him for the better though… hell, anything, even something minor. It would be a sad to just get the goofy counter-ultra and that’s it.
Exactly. It’s like I’ve always said. The tools Fei Long has are decent, but he has absolutely zero free bullshit, which unfortunately really hurts in SF4. Even Vega has the Izuna loop.
Yeah. he has moves, all of which could be countered even though it is still possible to win
and nothing he has is safe lower then Dan tier with terrible ultras.
Hes no where near as precise, speedy, ranged, damage house, linkable as his HDR form,
hes just as worse as say his release form, you just use what you have and yeah, win some you lose some.
Yeah I think the reason you don’t see scrubs playing Fei is because he has nothing easy strategically. No Tiger Upper FADC ultra or mash on Balrog Jabs or Zangeif 1 Button DP… nothing over powering. So Fei is good when you’re better than the other guy, but when you’re in a intense, close match with an equally skilled opponent with their own bullshit to throw at you… Fei is gonna suffer late match. For me it’s always fun till they get meter and an Ultra, then I’m like sigh… here’s why playing Fei sucks. I think if the game didn’t have ultra combos, Fei might be quite a bit higher on the tiers. If everyone had to EARN their wins like he did. But unfortunately… Fei is the honest salesman getting hustled by crooks on the street in SF4.
