Street Fighter Alpha 3
Fei Long is a youthful, talented action star from
Hong Kong. He is the master of his own unique style of Kung Fu. On the
street, he seeks a good fight to sharpen his skills. His fighting
impresses a Hong Kong movie director, and he becomes a popular movie star
[Official].
Street Fighter 2
After fighting in the SF2 tournament, Fei Long realizes
that being a movie star is not his calling, after all. It is real fighting
that truly matters, not just acting. He gives up his movie career, and
dissappears after that. [Conjecture based off in-game storyline]. His
original SF2 ending was mistranslated by Capcom of America and had him not
being a movie star and declining the offer to become one. This led many to
believe that Alpha 3 was not canon because Fei Long became a movie star in
Alpha 3. I thought it was a ret-con (rewrite of history) by Capcom of
Japan but it turns out that it was just Capcom of America's screw up once
again. Ah well, the English version of SF2 Revival is more accurate, at
least.
Notas
Where Is He Now: He's still a popular movie star, even though he doesn't
make any more movies, according to his SF2 Revival ending. Fei Long
himself, however, hasn't been seen since he left to fight [Conjecture based
off his SF2 Revival ending].
Miscellaneous Facts and Notes
He began practicing Kung-Fu when he was around 6. He was a stunt man
before he became a movie star. He appeared in his first movie when he was
around 18 (as a stunt man).
Fei Long's name is supposed to be and is actually Feilong, NOT Fei
Long. Fei Long being his name was a screw up on Capcom of USA's part when
they translated his name. Though I guess, now, officially, his name in the
USA is Fei Long, despite how it really doesn't sound right, realistically
and culturally-wise.
Fei Long is obviously based after kungfu movie star Bruce Lee, if not
practically directly copied like Balrog (Mike Bison in Japan) was to Mike
Tyson. Though I probably really didn't have to say that.
Captain Sawada of the Street Fighter Live Action movie was supposedly
supposed to be Fei Long, but they (the movie producers) figured that Fei
Long was 'too generic' or something like that, so they changed his name and
character to Captain Sawada. This doesn't have anything to do with the
true canon but it's an interesting thing, I think.
Fei LongÕs SSF2 ending is translated incorrectly into English. Capcom
USA added in a bunch of references to "The Great One and his son" that were
not originally there. HereÕs a summary of what actually happened in the
Japanese version:
A director, impressed with what he just saw, approaches Fei-Long and wants
him to star in his movie.
Fei-Long says, "I thought you understood.
What I want to do is not acting, it's real fighting."
The director offers him as much money as he wants, but Fei-Long just jumps
away.
Twenty years after Hong Kong's greatest action star has faded from the
screen, three million students practice "Hitenryuu Kung Fu" (translated
from Japanese as "Flying Heaven Style Kung Fu") in front of the
originator's memorial statue.
Some are doing so today.
Their teacher's name is --- [Fei-Long never mentions "The Great One and his
son" (Bruce and Brandon Lee), and the director never says anything about
"re-dizzy combos". Fei-long is not among the students].
Fei LongÕs SSF2 nickname is something like ÒFlame Isao HeroÓ. His SFA3
nickname is ÒA free Kung-Fu starÓ.
His SSF2 stage is located in Tiger Balm Park (Hong Kong). His SFA3
stage is located in Kowloon park (Hong kong).
Erm... that's about it. Fei Long is not a very developed character.
