The "Make Fei Long competitive" thread

Me…sadly enough.

So you guys like being beaten, and abused?

nope but it makes me try harder to win.

I don’t have much trouble combing into his rekkas. Several of his most-used normals follow into rekkas: c.lk, c.lp, c. and cl. mp, CH c.mp, cl.hp, and his other normals are used more for footsies and pokes. What bothers me is the crappy damage I get for pulling off these links.

I also rather enjoy his tenshin grab. Blocked st.jab xx ex tenshin is a sure shot that can lead into his longer FADC combos if you have the meter. I only wish the normal tenshin had the same range, yet slower. I’m sorry capcom but if the game shows my leg PASSING THROUGH their body, I should have grabbed them.

I know it’s been said before but Fei Long is obviously the most masochistic character in this game to play. If he stopped doing such poor damage for the effort he puts in he would honestly be a serious threat.

The point about his cw not hitting low opponents is true though. The wonky pseudo-crossup that comes from sailing over them is NOT worth the punishment you receive off whiffing.

Anyone who honestly tries to fish out a counterhit and link into rekkas from cr.MP instead of just linking another cr.MP is trying way too hard

Yes it does more damage but if it’s not a counterhit, you look like a doofus – moreover you’re most likely to score a counterhit from footsies and the range at which you have to hit the rekkas from footsies is risky in itself

cr.MP xx rekkas would help him in a big way. cr.MK would be nice too but I’m happy with the former

im sick of reading all the retarded stuff in this thread.

all fei needs is his ultra 1 to hit off of flame kick fadc ultra 1, then he automatically becomes a good, usable character.

all this bullcrap about he needs c.mk into rekka to be good, his rekkas need more damage, and all the other stuff i’ve read just wont amount to shit if he doesn’t get an ultra. cause anyone that is worth a shit knows ultra 2 is going to be straight garbage.

he already has c.mk into super which does 50%, he has great b&b even though they are a bit hard for the damage he gets, he still gets a mixup afterwards and a knockdown from c.lk. you can even do super off of c.lk, c.lk, c.lp xx super, its hard but still a very useful tool he has. he has a good aa in flamekick even though people would argue to the death that it sucks. he has flamekick fadc gimmicks. he has the best overhead in the game in sf4 possibly. you can whiff punish with rekkas. you can punish a lot of crap (blanka balls for one) with rekkas. his ex chickwing leads to combos and goes through projectiles. he has high priority pokes like c.fp and c.mp, he has a great air to air in j.rh and j.mk and j.fp. he has big hit confirmable crossover combo i just LOVE in j.mk, s.mp, c.mk xx super. (s.mp gives him so much frames)

WHAT HE FREAKING NEEDS IS A WAY TO LAND ULTRA! if fei gets behind, he doesn’t have an ultra to do 40-50% real quick off landing a flamekick. all these other suggestions are stupid…im sorry if you disagree.

I dont think thats true at all. So he does Sagat damage now? Someone else confirm it?

you are a moron. you are supposed to use hes focus attack to hit an ulta. that the point of his super focus attack

you fuckers see it. you better not feed it like you did the last one

Well Cl.Standing Fierce -> EX Flame Kick is 300 damage, not 350 (but still retardedly good damage for someone who whiffed a DP or after a focus crumple.)

and he’s sorta right about flame kick, fadc chicken wing -> ultra doing close to 400 damage, but it only works on certain characters. Against most of the cast you can only do mk. chicken wing after the fadc for laughable like 13 more damage than an ex chicken wing, and for an extra ex bar.

who doesn’t have fa crumple to their ultra? you think your going to hit wong with fa after your ultra is active?? no reason to call me a moron lol. and what is a super focus attack anyways?:rolleyes:

I could swear there was an interview sometime before SF4 was released where it was stated that cr.mk/cr.mp>rekkas was removed because they didn’t want fei to be played like Yang from SF3.

Blanka.

lol i hope your kidding

More like trolling. STOP FEEDING

ugh yeah sure… thanks for adding

I’m abandoning the SSFIV ship, not just Fei Long. I’m not that big a fan of SFIV and Super doesn’t sound much better, to be honest.

:coffee: In SSFII Fei could cancel out of his crouching medium attacks, then in ST they took that away and gave him CW. He’s been like the ST version ever since.

Well he doesn’t need too many buffs, having a more ways to land his ultra 1 alone would boost him up quite a bit. I do however would like all the hits in CW to be armor breaking, seriously FA fucks him up quite a bit sometimes and with no decent armor breaking move to stop it, its a little annoying sometimes.

Mad props to the Fei Long players sticking it out.
