Feng Wei

Encyclopedia : F : FE : FEN : Feng Wei


Feng Wei is a character from the Tekken franchise of fighting games. He hails from China and practices Kenpo.

History

Tekken 5

As a boy, Feng Wei was raised as a disciple by a Kenpo master who was so skilled he was known as Shinken (literally God Fist). At 20 years of age, Feng was the best student his school had ever seen. When his master scolded him for fighting outside the dojo, Feng killed him. Now Feng seeks the secrets of the God Fist scrolls stolen by the Mishima family, and enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 to do so.

Asuka and Lei have connections with this ruthless, merciless Kenpo fighter. Feng severely beat Asuka's father and destroyed his dojo in his search for the scrolls. Lei is trying to capture Feng for his similar actions in China.

Character Analysis

Feng Wei is one of the strongest characters in the game; while his speed might not be like the Williams' or Xiaoyu, his powerful attacks definitely make up for it.

Feng's characteristics are fast punches, slow but powerful kicks, and heavy bodyblows which are excellent for punishing. Newcomers to Tekken will probably tend to choose him because of his easy, but powerful attacks.

Unique to Feng is his "Kenpo Step" movements that block up to three hits automatically (and respond with a counterattack after three) while moving forward or backwards. They are a staple part of his high level play.

Trivia

Feng Wei is based on characters played by Martial Arts superstar Bolo Yeung in his B-movies.
