Biography[]
Fei Long is a Hong Kong action film star who began his Kung-Fu training since the age of 6. After being involved in numerous street fights, he was spotted by several movie directors and began his filmmaking career.
Following the Street Fighter II tournament, he turned down a role for a movie in Hollywood, deciding to focus more on developing his unique style of Kung-Fu dubbed Hiten Ryuu or the "Flying Heaven style." He decides to take up new movie roles in IV, but finds that mysterious accidents have occurred on the set of the movie, causing many staff members to be critically injured.
The accidents were caused by S.I.N due to the writers changing the terrorist organization depicted in the movie to a multinational corporation—fitting S.I.N's bill exactly. He enters the Street Fighter IV tournament to confront Seth.
Personality[]
Fei Long is very serious most of the time with a calm exterior, although he can be roused to anger; in his rival fight against Abel, he is calm at first, but loses his temper when the Frenchman twice asks him for a fight. He is full of fighting spirit and takes great pride in his fighting style Hitenryu, which he seeks to honor in all ways possible: He despises all that is evil.
Fei Long also enjoys a good match; although he is a famous martial arts movie actor, he still takes his time to appear at underground fighting areas to find a worthy opponent to spar with, as seen in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. There are also times when Fei Long is shown to be a little cocky in many of his actions and also win quotes against certain characters.
Abilities[]
As befitting of an homage to Bruce Lee, Fei Long's fighting style embodies the spirit of Jeet Kune Do in terms of "absorbing what is useful". He is a well-rounded melee oriented character with very practical attacks for many different situations. His signature move is the Rekka Ken, a Three-Strike Combo which pushes Fei Long towards his opponents with a series of rushing punches, being not only a powerful combo ender but also a strong poking tool at mid-range to punish careless opponents. His Shien Kyaku is a spinning, rising kick on fire that functions as an anti-air. Lastly is his Rekkukyaku, cooloquially referred to by players as the "Chicken Wing", which sails over low attacks and projectiles and sets Fei Long's opponent's up for further pressure.
