Biography

Fei Long (飛龍（フェイロン, Fei Ron, pinyin: Fēi Lóng)

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. He can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong in Dan Hibiki's stage watching the fight. Fei Long is known to sneak off the movie set in search of a street fight, but refuses to challenge Dan until the next game. 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. Fei-Long films a string of more action movies until he gets an invitation to become one of the four chosen 'New Challengers' to battle in the Grand Master Challenge Tournament, in which Fei-Long agrees to participate. During the tournament, he realizes that he prefers the pain and feeling of real life hand-to-hand combat involving blows, blood and bruises over the staged, scripted and choreographed fight scenes in his movies, causing him to abandon his superstardom and disappear into the streets. Fei-Long is later convinced into returning to the world of cinema, because he was offered higher pay salaries by many different movie executives to make a comeback to both starring and filmmaking.

Overview

Personality and attributes

Fei Long is very serious most of the time with a calm exterior, although he can be roused to being hot-tempered; in his rival fight against Abel, he is calm at first, but loses his temper and raises his voice at the Frenchman for asking to challenge him twice even though Abel is in a fighting tournament, taking the amnesia-stricken fighter's request as a dumb question. 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.

Notes

• Fei Long was created by Capcom and featured in the setting of the Street Fighter universe.
• The character was Capcom's tribute to the Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do movie legend Bruce Lee. Not only do the two look alike and come from the same city, Fei-Long also lets out similar battle cries to Lee, and is just as furious and fast. Also, Fei Long (飛龍) is Chinese for "flying dragon", as well as a type of kick. Bruce Lee's Chinese screen name was 李小龍 (Li Xiaolong in Mandarin and Lee Siu-lung in his preferred Cantonese); the latter two characters meaning "little dragon".
