~ 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 made his debut 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 stern most of the time with a calm demeanor. 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 detests 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
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.
Other appearances

Fei Long made a cameo appearance in Project X Zone, informing Pai Chan and Akira Yuki about S.I.N., Seth and Juri.
