Gamerz Club: Lei Wulong

Lei Wulong is a fictional Chinese character from the Tekken fighting game series modeled after martial artist Jackie Chan.

History
Lei enters The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 to search for Feng Wei, the man that has been destroying dojos in China and Japan. Asuka Kazama is also searching for Feng because he nearly killed her father, who was one of the dojo owners sought by Feng Wei. He is also attempting to destroy the Mishima Zaibatsu with the help of Steve Fox.
EndingsBefore Lei is able to enjoy his victory at the tournament, he returns to Hong Kong for a new investigation. Then, Lei is shown fighting a criminal on the top of a bus (perhaps a homage to Jackie Chan's Police Story movies or the Rush Hour movies). Lei wins the fight, puts handcuffs on the guy he just defeated, and reports to his superiors through his walkie talkie. Lei does not notice the low road sign behind him, and he is knocked off of the bus. He lands on the street and on his back. Lei grunts in pain and says "Oww...That's gonna leave a mark".

Fighting Style

Utilizing Lei requires the use of all of his stances. His Five Form stances are Snake, Tiger, Dragon, Panther, and Crane. He also has the stances Drunken Master Walk, Phoenix, Play Dead and Back Turn. Lei has over 110 moves and most are done from stances. The easiest way to use Lei's Five Form stances is to side step during Razor Rush, but Crane can only be used after the Mid Kick. Lei is a trick class character like Yoshimitsu, but Lei is easier to use and faster.
In Tekken 5, his stances are easier to use and can be accessed by holding down a direction after an attack. Examples include holding forward after performing a side-step to double right punch (Drunken Master), doing the same with a single left punch (Tiger) or holding down

after performing a low right kick (Snake).

Trivia

Lei's hairstyle in Tekken 2 is just like Jackie Chan in a film Wheels on Meals when he fights with Nina Williams According to the Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 books, Lei likes Sony's products and electronics, and his hobbies include watching movies and taking naps. Lei's ending movie in Tekken 3 where he trains with the plate and the eggs on the bamboo poles is inspired from Jackie Chan's movie "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow." Lei's character mould is identical to Jackie Chan's Police Story character Ka Kui—the two men are police officers and are displayed as workaholics. They also, unintentionally, create humor in their given circumstances (Lei's Tekken 5/Dark Resurrection ending features Lei arresting a criminal after a fight on the top of a bus and reporting back to headquarters, only to be knocked off the bus due to a road sign that hit him). Lei's first, traditional Chinese-looking costume is inspired from Jackie Chan's clothes in the film "Snake in the Eagle's Shadow." His second one is inspired by the film "Police Story." His fighting style is also inspired from Jackie Chan films: his five-animal stance is a direct reference to Jackie Chan film "Spiritual Kung-Fu" and his drunken stance is inspired by Jackie Chan's "Drunken Master" films, similar to how Marshall Law

's fighting style is inspired by Bruce Lee. Lei is voiced by Hiroya Ishimaru, a professional voice actor best known for voicing Koji Kabuto, the pilot of Japan's most loved classic giant robot, Mazinger Z. Curiously, he is the Japanese voiceover for Jackie Chan in almost all his movies dubbed to the language. Ishimaru speaks English in the Tekken series, however. Lei was shown in the Tekken 6 trailer (in the design phase.).
