S3 Feng Wei Cheat Sheet v1.2
Contributors: LolitaBot
Please note, this guide is a “Cheat Sheet” intended for new players to learn a little about/start playing a character – the information here is just a fraction of what the character can do, so please use this as a starting point and then explore as much as you want beyond what I’ve presented! There are loads more useful moves, lots of setups, all kinds of combos and I simply can’t list it all (it’s not necessarily practical to, either).
I think this is all accurate but I’m human, so if you find any mistakes, forgive me and just let me know (DM on Twitter), I can edit as needed. – LolitaBot
LEGEND:
Black font = move is safe
Green font = move is plus
Red font = move is punishable
Purple *** = move has been changed in S3, see patch notes for reference
Strengths:
-evasive
-variety of good, safe/safe-ish pokes for many situations (good utility overall)
-wide variety of decent moves allow for creativity/personal preference in playstyle
-has a few strong specific situational tools (Get Off Me b+1, Wallbounce d/f+2,2, i13 Punish b+1+2, Step Killer b+4, Oki ff+3, Sidestep u/f+2)
Weaknesses:
-lack of CH launchers and strings
-relies on punishment OR high risk/high reward decisions for combo damage
-poor While Standing punishment (no KND or launch until i15, except WS+1 which only floats certain moves, WS+3 frequently whiffs point blank)
-lacking in options/tools that opponent must overcome, difficult to oppress opponent (very “honest”)
-below average range (very stubby hopkick, most of his good tools require you to be very close to opponent, backturned tools can frequently whiff)

Easy Sample BnB’s:
Jab Float: d/b+1,4 S! f+3,4, b+1+2
Wall Bounce: d/f+2,2 d/f+3 1,3, b+1+2
Wall Combo: 1,3, b+1+2
Low Parry: d/f+1, d/b+1,4 S! f+3,4, b+1+2
u/f+4, f+1+2 S! f+3,4, 1, f+3,4
SS+4, f+1+2 S! f+3,4, 1, f+3,4
CH f,f+3, f+1+2 S! f+3,4, 1, f+3,4
(For small characters: after the Tailspin do f+3,4, 1, b+1+2)
(For some extra damage and wall carry, try a variation using the new ender: d/f+4,2,1+2, note it is slightly harder than the f+3,4 ender)
