The Rekkaken (烈火拳, "Raging Fire Fist") is one of Fei Long's signature special attacks, introduced in Super Street Fighter II.

Input

All appearances	+ (can be performed up to 3 times)

DescriptionEdit

Executed by pressing a quarter-circle forward motion and pressing punch, Fei Long hits the enemy with a powerful punch for each input; if the full follow-up is performed, the third strike inflicts knockdown.

The EX Special version introduced in Street Fighter IV uses fiery punches, and if timed right, allows Fei Long to punch through projectiles.

TacticsEdit

However, the timing for the EX Rekkaken's projectile immunity is very strict, as Fei's hand must be fully out in order to absorb the projectile. Also, he can only absorb one projectile with the first Rekka punch, as his second punch will not absorb a second projectile headed his way, even if timed right. Thus, it is best used at close range where he can capitalize on the opponent after the first hit absorbs a projectile, which will take away the chances of the opponent being able to throw a second one right away.
