| ~ Fei Long |
Fei Long is a character and a hero in the Street Fighter fighting game series. He is Capcom's tribute to Martial Arts Legend Bruce Lee, who was the actual inspiration for Fei Long's design itself. He first appeared as one of the four "New Challengers" in Super Street Fighter II, which was released in 1993. He later made his return in the Alpha series as well as the Street Fighter 4 series. Other media appearances he has made involve Street Fighter: The Animated Movie and also the anime, Street Fighter II V. He is an action film star from Hong Kong who enters tournaments to test his martial arts.
Personality
Fei Long is very serious most of the time with a calm exterior. The best example of this is in his rival fight against Abel, where he is shown to be in a normal mood at first, but all of a sudden loses his temper just as the Frenchman asks him for a fight twice. 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 also 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 (which can be seen in Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie). There are also times when Fei Long is shown to be a little cocky; this can be seen by many of his personal actions and also win quotes against certain characters.
History
Background
A youthful and talented man from Hong Kong, Fei Long began training in Kung Fu from the age of six, eventually developing his own form, and fought on the streets to sharpen his skills until he caught the eye of a movie director, who got him into the movie business.
Street Fighter Alpha 2
He can be seen within the streets of Hong Kong in Dan Hibiki's stage watching the fight.
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Engaging in many street fights in search of inspiration, Fei Long attracts the attention of the criminal organization Shadaloo, which tries to recruit him by force, sending Balrog and Vega after him. After the destruction of the Psycho Drive, a film based on these events is put into production with Fei Long as the star, catapulting him into the big time and making him an international sensation.
Super Street Fighter II
He makes a string of action movies until he participates in the second World Warrior tournament. During the tournament, he realizes that he prefers the real thing over the staged, choreographed fight scenes in his movies, and gives up his career to disappear into the streets. Despite this, he soon returns to the world of cinema.
Super Street Fighter IV
Fei Long returns to the world tournament stage after Shadaloo agents are suspected of attacking stage hands and co-stars in the movie he is working on. It transpires that the plot of the movie bears a dangerous resemblance to S.I.N. operations, which is what attracted their attention to the movie's cast and crew. During his journey, Fei Long encounters various fighters.
First, there is a young girl named Makoto who wants to fight Fei Long in order to build the reputation for her dojo. Fei Long, seeing great enthusiasm in the girl, agrees. He later encounters a man named Abel, who turns out to be an admirer of Fei Long and requests Fei Long to fight him, to which he also agrees. After their bout, Fei Long departs to continue his mandatory goal. Fei Long then faces and defeats the man behind the attack on his movie crew and the host of the tournament, Seth. When Fei-Long demands answers from Seth (or one of his copies), Seth replies that "sometimes the media can get too close to the truth". However, the conversation is interrupted when a kunai (a ninja throwing dagger) strikes Seth in the neck, killing him. Fei Long leaves the S.I.N building without answers.
When Fei Long returns to the set, however, he is confronted again by Abel. Abel, having heard that Fei Long plans to investigate further into S.I.N. and Shadaloo, wants to help and warn Fei Long of the danger. Fei Long replies that it's not a problem, wondering where to begin.
Street Fighter V
In Rashid's prologue story, Fei Long is amongst the group of people whom Rashid communicates with through social media. His username is "FEILONG_DRAGON". He states that his new movie is opening, and enthusiastically requests that people go see it.
Animations
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie
Fei Long makes a minor appearance in the So-Shu sequence, where he evades the set of a film he is working on in order to watch an underground fighting tournament for entertainment. There, his eyes fall on Ryu, who was forced into the ring for criticizing the earlier fighters (although this is implied to be a fib from the bouncers) and who takes out the challenger with ease. Intrigued, Fei challenges Ryu and manages to land a few good hits, but Ryu eventually gains the upper hand and breaks Fei's arm. Enraged, Fei unleashes a Shienkyaku and hits Ryu directly in the chest, but Ryu surprises the actor with a quick recovery and takes him out with a Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.
Later, while strolling with Ryu through the streets, Fei realises that Ryu is the man who beat Sagat a few years earlier, and feels more relieved about losing to him. Fei also mentions Sagat's induction into Shadaloo under M. Bison and gives Ryu a brief description about the syndicate. The two part ways as friends, with Fei implying a desire to fight Ryu again someday.
Street Fighter (film)
Along with Akuma, Fei Long was the only original Street Fighter character not to appear in the Street Fighter movie, although it is assumed that the movie exclusive character Sawada is his replacement (although Akuma did appear in both games based on the movie, whereas Fei Long did not, as mentioned above).
Street Fighter II V
As in the games' continuity, Fei-Long is an up-and-coming martial arts film star, only presented as 17 years old and a fellow pupil of Chun-Li under her father, Inspector Dorai. Fei first appears in China where he causes trouble by injuring various stuntmen during a fight scene on a film set, enraging the director (the same man from the animated movie). Despite being told that it is merely a film, Fei-Long still yearns for a worthy challenge, and claims that a true fight will make the film more realistic. When Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li pay a visit, Fei suggests that one of them play the role of the villain, and Ken is selected, but Fei and Ken's subsequent fight gets out of hand and they begin destroying the set by accident. The director, initially impressed by the fight, finally calls it off when Ken scores a direct hit on Fei. Despite being bruised, Fei accepts defeat gracefully and vows to fight both Ryu and Ken someday.
Later on in the series, Fei-Long pays a visit to Barcelona to visit his friends, and sees a news bulletin of Dorai's apparent murder at Shadowlaw's hands. The news shocks Fei greatly and he breaks down, confessing that he loved Dorai more than his own father. The Chief of Interpol, Barrack, consoles Fei and reveals to him in secret that Dorai is still alive, but barely, and the news of his survival has been covered up in order to protect him. Fei resolves to protect Dorai, and ends up battling the assassin, Cammy, when she arrives to finish the job. During the fight, however, Cammy reveals that she was unaware she was working for Shadowlaw. Fei and Cammy work with Barrack to catch Interpol's mole, Balrog, and once Balrog is subdued, Fei and Barrack travel to M. Bison's base in order to arrest him. They arrive just as Ryu and Ken defeat Bison once and for all.
Street Fighter cartoon
Fei Long makes an appearance in two episodes and he befriends Guile, Ryu and Ken. In the episode The Hand That Feeds You Guile acts as a stunts man for Fei Long's movie while undercover to bust drug smugglers in Hong Kong. Fei Long agrees to help take them down in exchange for Guile helping him with his chi force. Whilst they were searching for information Fei Long later learns that his former producer and friend Raymond Wang was involved with the smugglers and used the money to finance Fei Long's movies. Enraged Fei Long was able to use his chi force and destroy the lab as well as save the prisoners. Among the prisoners was Ryu's cousin and her friend.
The second episode So, You Want to be in Pictures Fei Long's investors had withdrew their support from his movie due to fact that he's making it about the Triad. Since Ryu felt that he owed Fei Long a favor for helping them save his cousin, he asked Ken to get in touch with his father to pay for Fei Long's movie. Ken would become the producer of the film and would make changes to the film, much to Fei Long's dismay. Eventually, fame would go to Ken's head and would make Fei Long even more angry. The two would end up coming to blows and it ended with Ken destroying the set. Realizing the huge mistake he made, Ken would once again have his father make some calls for Fei Long so that he could get a starring role back in Hong Kong, which would reconcile their friendship.
