Fei Long

Fei Long made his first appearance in Super Street Fighter II 1993 as one of the four new characters introduced in the game. Fei Long is depicted as an action film star from Hong Kong who enters the World Warrior tournament to test his skill as a martial artist. In his ending in the game, he gives up his film career and forms his own kung-fu style known as the Soaring-Heaven style.

Fei Long was designed as a pastiche of a real-life martial artist and movie star Bruce Lee. The English localization of the original arcade game pays tribute to Bruce Lee by having Fei Long state "there could never be another legend like the great one and his son", a reference to Bruce Lee and his son Brandon, who died shortly before the release of the game, although these references were removed in the revised localization of the GBA version of the game. Fei Long reappears in the console versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3. The game takes place before Fei Long achieved fame as a movie star, as he makes his first hit movie in his ending in the game. He returns as a playable character in the console versions of Street Fighter IV. His alternate costume in Street Fighter IV resembles Bruce Lee's outfit in Enter the Dragon. His ultra in Street Fighter IV is a series of flurry punches into an uppercut followed by a flying kick which resembles a signature technique of Bruce Lee. Also, Fei Long has been given a new ultra in Super Street Fighter IV and it furthers the homage to Bruce Lee by performing a flurry of punches ending with the "one inch punch."
