Thread should be renamed to the “Fei Long Lamentation Thread: So Which Character are you Dropping Fei for?”
heh, not dropping him… he will be good in ssf4.
Sticking it out with fei. Having faith in the faster mechanics of SSF4 helping fei’s game out.
On another note:

Did any one see hakan’s anti air counter ultra is able to combo off of his focus attack. That’s ridiculous that they implement a good anti air counter for one character and leave two other characters with crappy ground counter ultras that can be grabbed and armor broken. Fei and cammy need a counter ultra similar to hakan’s.
Though I love that new Kato outfit for fei long.
It’s not a counter though. It’s an anti air grab like Abel’s Falling Sky.
except functional as an AA
yea hakan’s is not really a counter Ultra, also the damage it does is crap, while Fei’s ultra looks like it does good damage from what i’ve seen, which seems to make sense since it’ll be hard as hell to hit on.
Thinking about it I think Guy may be a better Fei long. He looks like he has good pokes, his spinning kick works like flame kick and has a nice motion for a DP, he’s got a GRAB ULTRA which is what all fei players want, his jump goes fucking far, and he’s got a safe (atleast I think it’s safe) solution to fireballs with the shoulder tackle.
I think Fei won’t have a lot of issues with Dudley atleast. Sagat’s issue was zoning and out damage and while I imagine dudley will still outdamage fei, there won’t be the problem of getting in.
Yea i think i’ll be working on Fei and Guy. Umm maybe Hakan, :smokin:
Sooo…what’s up with that Valle vid? Or did the trolls finally reach this thread as well
Also, what’s up with EXCW? projectile immunity or not?

Some footage of Fei starts at 3:21. It seems like his s.hk is faster now, and the flame kick looks like it has a lot less recovery. Am I just seeing things?
Flamekick looks the same. st.HK might actually be faster though… it did recover pretty fast.
Yea i was definitely thinking he was quicker too… Digging that alternate uni too. Man he couldn’t of just done an EX CW when Gouken was throwin one of those fireballs! lol i was actually waiting when i first watched it do it, DO IT! lol dang.
No, he whiffed Counter instead, :lol: stupid fei, good ultras are for other characters!
Yeah that st.RH looks faster, which is good cause its a real strong AA at the right range. Good find.
I am hoping that he is still strong. the tier list is obviously going to get mixed up and if the only changes are making his pokes faster and just maybe ex tenshin flip to ultra 1 like they promised originally, we would be in business. Never hurts to consider other mains like the Final Fighters, heh.
I’ll be looking at Ibuki and Makoto anyway.
At least it’s good to hear there’s no damage nerf for FeiLong’s flame kicks so far, considering Akuma, Sagat, and Cammy got it already.
I think I will be mixing Guy/Fei for sure they both remind me of my favorite fighter and Konahoa ninja
Since I only play online and competition mostly isn’t tough I’ll still main Fei.
But other than SF4 where I hated the remaining 24 characters I now have some secondaries in SSF4: Ibuki, Dudley and Cody.
Same here John I just didn’t like the rest of the cast, now there is some others I want to try, Gouken is the only other person I used in SF4
looks like it could be faster, but its hard to tell. even more so because i know it wouldnt get below 6 frames, and it was at 9 in vanilla. pretty hard to see a 3 frame difference without direct comparison. on another note you can definately see the hitch at the end of his dash is gone. at around 3:47 you see him dash 2x and immediately land a sweep
I dont know. Both of these things seem kind of ambiguous to me. both are things I dont think can be gleaned from youtube video. I’d need to actually have the game in front of me to gauge if st.hk is faster or if the weird recovery at the end of his dash is gone.
