VF5R Lei Fei Changes

Haven't seen one of these on here yet. Anyone have any confirmed info on the changes made to Lei Fei's movelist.

 

lol. my thread=fail.

Is there not any info out on lei fei yet, or does no one care /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

There's one vid ive seen

ppp executes faster, its looks like a high-high-mid now & also last punch is a single palm

(assuming that its ppp)

also i think fk+g is a new cooler looking attack

 

He has also a wall throw (I think it is a wall throw) where Lei jumps and kicks the chest of the oponent for several times like Reptile in Mortal Kombat Movie. Does 65 dmg if I'm right. It's in the Location Movie Thread. It's the Akira vs Babitch vid.

 

so far i've watched 3 videos of lei! (argh can anyone explain why there's like tons of el blaze and jacky and jean but like none of leifeis...)

saw 5 new things
1) a forward jumping somersault flip kick (2hits), quite like 66p+k
2) that 2+1 punch combo where he looks as if he's dancing (can connect from 33pp float)
3) a faster pp
4) wall throw (thousand leg kick in chest)
5) a punch throw (this one's pretty awesome, connects after doku stance P if i'm not wrong, lei tosses the guy under him, then sits on top of him and poses, then kicks him away.

 

It seems leifei got a little weaker, from the clips I saw, any thoughts?

 

they nerf his 236p+k sabaki usually it does a head collapse but now its like something different.

 

Yeah seen that too, It caused a quick crumple, not the big headcrumple it used to. This will nerf its damage although I suspect Lei can still combo out of it with something like /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/u.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif at least.

 

Yeah, I even thought of "chasing" an opponent after this with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

lol, i'll do one better and follow up with /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+ /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
(that's if the move still exists.. haha)

 

3 videos? I just found 2:

Wow. His 236P+K got nerfed. If that's the case, that sabaki should be as powerful as his Koko P to make up for it.

And his PPP's got nerfed, too. You can't go into Doku from PP nor go into Hai from PPP. Damn.

But shit, 4P+K gets the bounce property. Sick!

 

This really sucks.

 

Those videos a few new moves used that I've been able to see the input for.

There is a mid kick, its command is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/b.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif, seems to push back on counter.

The jumping kick is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, I don't know whether the old one has been removed or not. It doesn't seems to allow any combo though.

The 3-hit "dancing" combo is (i am not sure about the first hit) /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, at lest that's what I saw.
Lei also has an obvious adv. after the second hit as he was able to quickly dodge and also change into other stances mid-way and react accordingly (check the ura-nehan /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif against Aoi's LP).

I'd swear that a single palm shown somewhere in vs Aoi vid is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif, which would mean that the old one is now /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/d_.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/df.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif (?). I am not sure

The wall throw for 65 dmg is /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif+/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif, may also be /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif, or /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/f.gif, I dunno, the guy pressed forward a lot! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

A new move (in Jeff vid), might be a launcher (with a palm), seems to have some evading properties. All of this is just guessing though. It was done once and blocked in the vid. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif

 

Does it look to anybody else like they either (possibly both)

A) made lei fei a little smaller?

B) reduced his reach by a small amount. (doesn't look like he extends his arms quite as far forward in a lot of moves. 236 p+k, or 4p,p. etc...) make me wonder if these moves are going to have just a tiny amount less reach. boooo.

 

Changing Leis PPP to HHM & no stances is enough reason for me to not play him anymore. That really sux. Thats Leis bread & butter he had that since his first appearance in VF4. It's like letting him die and replace him with his pupil who has simmilar moves.

Yea I think they nerfed his size too. He looks like he has aoi's size.

They changed too many of his key moves and also moves he had from the beginning. I can't accept that as Lei fan. I really liked his stance switching style.

From what I've seen in those 3 vids: I just hate the new lei!!
But I love the new shun ^-^ so I'll just switch to shun.

 

what other stance nerfs are there? I know alot of us lei's don't use too much ppp anywho once you get around master rank. Any idea if we can at least go ppp2 for bokuta?

also a couple of notes here:

In that Aoi Vid, is it just me or is that 6 k+g move look like lei is doing lau's move? isn't he trying to steal lau's style or some such (i don't keep up with/ and could care less about the stupid story for each charactar, but)

Also, after 66p it looks like the lei player goes for a 360 away, or at least a 180 away throw, but its ducked. hhmmm, any thoughts?

also, 236 p+k sabaki against akira appears to counter a double fisted move, no?

 

I hope he has a high-mid pp somewhere else, if not, thats alright.

Funny thing is I felt like Lei grew taller in VF 5 oddly enough.

But I welcome all Lei nerfs; it'll be more challenging & fun to use him.

 

i have no problems with any of his changes they all seem awesome

 

Nah, the move Akira used was 46p+k+g... only one fist.
