Feng Wei (Chinese: 馮威 Féng Wēi; Japanese: フェン・ウェイ Fen Wei; It may be written with given name first as Wei Feng) is a fictional Chinese character from the Tekken franchise of fighting games. He was introduced in Tekken 5 as one of the three new characters (the other two being Asuka Kazama and Raven) and has returned for all subsequent games.

Biography[]

Feng Wei is a Kenpo master. As a young boy, Feng began training under a highly skilled Kenpo master, Wu Zihao. He matured into the strongest fighter at his dojo. At some point before the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, Feng broke the dojo’s rule forbidding its practitioners from fighting martial artists of other styles; he went on rampages in several dojos in China, and also attacked Mr. Kazama’s dojo in Japan.[4][5] One night, Feng’s master confronted him over this, leading Feng to kill him. During this confrontation, Feng learned that he needed the Shinken scrolls if he was to truly master his art. These scrolls had been stolen at some point in the past by the Mishima Clan, so Feng entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5, determined to recover the scrolls.[6] He successfully broke into the Mishima Zaibatsu’s vault and retrieved the scrolls, but was surprised to find they only contained one teaching: ‘The one who destroys all other fighting styles and makes them his own shall become a warrior superior to all men, the Dragon God.’

Feng became fixated with becoming the Dragon God. After the tournament, Feng traveled the world to fight against masters of different fighting styles. When he heard rumors of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6, he traveled to Japan to enter so that he could further expand his power.[7] When the tournament was cancelled due to the disappearance of the Mishima Zaibatsu’s leader, Feng returned to his childhood training ground to continue his intense training regime. One day, he was approached by Marshall Law, who was looking for a new master to run his dojo whilst he sought solutions to his cash flow problems.[8][9] Feng refused the position.[10]

Feng entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 7 and was defeated in a fight by Leroy Smith, a Wing Chun master. Leroy told Feng that his heartless approach to fighting was holding him back. Furious at having been defeated, Feng began targeting masters who excelled in styles that prioritised self-defense, believing this would allow him to best combat Leroy’s Wing Chun.

Six months after the seventh tournament, Feng was contacted by Nina Williams on behalf of G Corporation. Nina offered him a deal: if he lent his support to G Corporation in a battle against Yggdrasil and the United Nations’ forces, they would provide him with an opportunity to avenge himself against Leroy.[3] Feng accepted, and went on to rematch Leroy on the battlefield.[11]

Personality[]

A ruthless and merciless martial artist. Feng has a lust for power and fighting, which can be seen as both a strength and weakness, as while he was skilled enough to be the best in his class, his greatest flaw is that his addiction and impulsive urge to start fighting eventually got the better of him, causing him to murder his master after he scolded him for fighting outside the dojo. He seeks to become the strongest fighter in the world, and is not afraid to show his full power against any opponent that gets in his way, and has destroyed many dojos and hurt many innocents in his wake to obtain what he desires. He also seems to loathe weak people, as he says to Asuka, "the weak don't deserve to live", when responding to why he attacked her father.

Despite this, Feng does have a vague sense of honor, as he accepts defeat, when Wang defeats him in the Arcade Story Mode. Rather than recovering and trying to kill him as he did to his master, Feng bowed down before him as a sign of respect, and acceptance of the fact that he was defeated by him. Although Feng is prone to malicious acts, he is not strictly diabolical, as he simply wishes to be the strongest; those who do not stand directly between him and his goal are usually of no concern to him, and he has no desire for world domination.

Feng likely lived in fairly remote rural areas until he began traveling the world seeking to prove his strength. He appears to have little knowledge of the corporations warring against one another, and seems unfamiliar with the concept of robotics, suggesting that technological knowledge is not his forte.[12] In his Scenario Campaign dialogues, he also frequently mentions how large corporate facilities are and how impressive their towers are up close, further suggesting he is not used to city living.[13]

Feng also seems to be inclined towards some form of superstition or spirituality, as can be seen when he suggests that a "wicked enchantment" could be behind the disappearing ruins in Tekken 6,[14] and in his assumption that Azazel must be some kind of demon, where many other characters instead express only confused horror on seeing the creature.[15]

Appearance[]

Feng is a muscular man of Chinese origin. He has long black hair braided at the back of his head and black eyebrows that are forked at the ends. In his outfits he is usually topless and wearing traditional Chinese martial arts pants. He also wears monks' training rings on his forearms.

TEKKEN_8_-_Feng_and_Closed_Beta_Test_Reveal_Trailer

TEKKEN 8 - Feng and Closed Beta Test Reveal Trailer

Official Website Profile (English)
Feng Wei is a master of Taijiquan who, guided by the teachings of the God Fist scrolls, aims to become the perfect warrior who transcends all — the Dragon God. However, at the most recent King of Iron Fist Tournament, Feng suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Wing Chun master Leroy Smith.

"You will never reach the height of true martial arts with that heartless technique of yours. You are unworthy of even being compared to your master."

The master to which Leroy refers is Wu Zihao, a martial artist who was known as the "God Fist" and under whose guidance Feng trained. In contrast to Feng, who believes that true martial arts reside in pure and unyielding power, his master Wu Zihao had always preached that it is essential for one's heart to be in line with one's technique.

Whose belief holds the truth? Feng thought he had found the answer on the stormy night he killed his own master...yet his fight with Leroy seemed to say otherwise. (Wing Chun as a martial art is nearly invulnerable. Users turn their opponents' own power against them to control them. Even still, if one can just break through their defenses with overwhelming power, then...!)

Feng uses his rage as fuel for his training, and travels to every corner of the globe, destroying masters who excel in self-defense as he grows even more powerful. Six months pass, and Nina Williams visits Feng with a proposal: she promises him that if he lends his support to G Corp, they will provide him with an opportunity to avenge himself against Leroy.

Although he knows that such an offer means he will become an accomplice to G Corp, Feng gives his assent. Feng scoffs at the ridiculous concept of "heart" that his dead master and Leroy value so much, continuing down the path he must take to become the Dragon God.[3]

Tekken_8_-_Feng_Character_Episode_Ending

Tekken 8 - Feng Character Episode Ending

Character Episode Prologue
In his quest to become all-powerful, Feng Wei followed the teachings of the Shinken scrolls, overcoming masters of various styles.

Despite his intensive studies, he lost to the Wing Chun master Leroy Smith in the previous The King of Iron Fist Tournament.

There would be no progress until he managed to defeat Leroy. This, Feng entered the new tournament when it was announced.

"Defeat all other masters and conquer their styles; the perfect warrior transcends all to become the Dragon God." So say the Shinken scrolls.

"I shall not face the same disgrace again. Just you wait, Leroy Smith."

Character Episode Ending
Feng uses the Mishima Zaibatsu's resources to continue furthering his training. Standing atop the wing of a jet into a storm, Feng leaps off of the aircraft and kicks into the eye of the storm, successfully stopping the rain and landing safely in a park. As he triumphantly meditates, however, he is passed by Sugar, who ends up urinating on Feng's leg. Leroy calls Sugar back and begins scolding her, while Feng's anger reaches a breaking point and he lets out a loud shout.

Sumamry of In-Game Events
Feng is revealed to be among the fighters scouted by Nina for G Corporation's invasion of Yakushima. Feng seeks out Leroy, who asks why his opponent was bent on his own destruction. In response, Feng replies that he still believes only in the supremacy of strength, and the pair continue to clash. During the bad ending, it is revealed that Feng had finally attained his vengeance and defeated Leroy.

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - 'Feng Wei Ending' TRUE-HD QUALITY

Ending Description: Feng is seen meditating in his dojo, with several bowls of sake balanced on his head, arm joints and knees. Asuka Kazama suddenly appears and challenges Feng to a battle in order to get her dojo's sign back. Feng, engrossed in his meditation, takes no notice of her, and Asuka attacks him in order to show him she is serious, only for him to dodge her attacks and counterattack effortlessly, sending Asuka flying into a nearby building. After she recovers, she smirks and stomps the ground lightly. This causes the bowls to shatter, soaking Feng and finally breaking his concentration. The scene cuts to Asuka heading home with her sign in hand, only to bump straight into Feng, and fall backward. A very much displeased Feng advances on the helpless Asuka, who screams in fear as the cutscene fades out.

Tekken: Bloodline[]

Feng appears as one of the competitors in the third King of Iron Fist Tournament, where he defeats Lei Wulong in the opening matches, but is later defeated by Jin Kazama off-screen.

Gameplay[]

Feng is a character known to be amongst the strongest in the cast, earning him spots high on tier lists almost universally. He has many lows which can be used with low risk and the chance of high reward. One example of this is his Piercing Arrow. Though this move is launch punishable on block, it is very fast and evasive, and as of Tekken 7 Season 4, will transition to Bullseye on Counter Hit to deal additional damage. Feng also has strong mid pokes such as his Stunning Palm and WS+1.[23]

Fighting Style[]

Feng Wei fights using God Fist Style Chinese Martial Arts, a highly devastating and aggressive style that is equally athletic as it is powerful. The style emphasizes on palm-striking techniques, versatile kicks and erratic whirling strikes. Though fictional, the style is primarily based on the Cantonese martial art Hung Gar.

Trivia[]

General:

  • Feng Wei's name written in Chinese as (馮威/冯威 Féng Wēi), where in (馮/冯 Féng) is the surname, and (威 Wēi) is his given name. He is currently the only Chinese character (with a Chinese name) in the Tekken series who does not have a double character given name.
  • Feng Wei wears iron rings around his wrists. This is most likely to add weight to his arms to increase resistance as well as providing defense against opponents. These are mainly used in Hung Gar and Yau Kung Mun styles of martial arts. They have also appeared in various popular cultures such as Jackie Chan's film Drunken Master and Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle.
  • Feng's style of meditation in his Tekken Tag Tournament 2 ending is a direct reference to the Chinese martial arts film Drunken Master, in which the character Wong Fei-hung (played by Jackie Chan) is forced to do a similar technique in his training.
  • Feng's story of beating up martial artists and destroying their martial arts schools is likely a homage to a genre of Chinese martial arts movies where antagonists are depicted as seeking renown and proving their superiority as martial artists by defeating martial arts schools this way.
  • Feng shares some similarities to the character Kaioh Retsu from the manga and anime Baki. Both are Chinese Kenpo fighters who keep their hair tied in a long braid.

Tekken 5:

Tekken 6:

  • Feng's item move has causes his forehead to shine when he Ki Charges. His second item move has him pull out a staff and extends it to strike the opponent.
    • Feng Wei's second item move is a reference to Sun Wukong's staff which is fabled to be about twenty feet at full length, but can be shortened or extended at the will of its user.
  • In Wang Jinrei's Tekken 6 Scenario Campaign dialogues, he states that he has spoken to Lei Wulong on Feng's behalf and that he will no longer be hunted for his master's death. Feng's master is not mentioned after this game and neither do the police seem to be hunting Feng any more, so it is likely that this interaction is canon.[25]

Tekken Tag Tournament 2:

  • In Ghost Battle, there is a Feng ghost named after professional Japanese player Yuu.
  • Feng's item move has him fly into the fight on a cloud.

Tekken 7:

  • Feng's item move creates a dragon effect that swirls around Feng whenever he enters Rage

  • Feng's eyes will change like the ones which was seen in his Tekken 5 ending, when he is about to unleash a final attack of his Rage Art.
  • The characters on Feng's chest are "鬼神" (Guǐshén), while literally translated as "Spirit God", it is more abstractly interpreted as deities or other types of heavenly or earthly rulers.
  • On his belt is "天翔霸王" (Tiānxiáng bàwáng), which translates roughly to "Heavenly Overlord". "天翔" literally translates to "Heaven-soaring", but "霸王" is more famously used as "Hegemon" or "General" depending on the context, and was used by notable historical figures such as Xiang Yu and King Goujian.
  • Tekken 8 is the first time since Tekken 5 that Feng has been given multiple lines of spoken dialogue, and the first time Feng has had win-pose dialogue.
