Feng Wei is, in a word, unconventional. Whatever he lacks in traditional Tekken tools, he makes up for it with incredible evasion, a full kit of very frustrating lows, and a great suite of back turn tools, including a 50/50 coin-flip throw mixup. His crouch dash (qcf or d,df) gives him the ability to make deep approaches by canceling into his safe ws1 (d,df,n,1) and also gives him access to his qcf+1+2 and qcf+1. The former is a +0 on block headbutt that forces the opponent into crouch. The latter is a low, unparryable shoulder. Both wreak havoc on counter hit.His stances Deceptive Step (b+3+4, A.K.A. "back Kenpo" or "KNP") and Shifting Clouds (f+3+4, A.K.A. "forward Kenpo" or "STC") can both be used to either sway out of an opponents threat range or move into it to apply pressure. In both, Feng has a plentiful selection of threatening pokes and mixups.Feng requires a lot of raw conditioning to be done before he can really open up his evasive, tricky gameplan. After testing the waters with his snake dash (crouch dash chain) and stances, he'll create opportunities to land big hits with moves like b+1+2 in no time.
