Voice Compare » Street Fighter » Fei Long

EDITOR'S OPINION

Ah Fei Long one of the most famous "homages" to the late great Bruce Lee out there.

In the North American Street Fighter Animated series he was voiced by Ocean Group VA Paul Dobson. (In which this show seems to be QUITE the reason why Paul Dobson is in these Voice Compares huh?) While Paul Dobson has done good accent work in this show his Fei Long voice is not the best example. It's not the worst attempt of an accent like this but its by no means the best. But to be fair his acting performance itself is not bad IMO.

Next up is the Street Fighter 2 Animated Movie in which he was voiced by Philip Williams. (Who seriously looks like the White version of Sherman "George Jefferson" Helmsley, its almost spooky how there is such a strong resemblance.) But still nevertheless he just does a nice calm moderate young male voice and it works pretty well for Fei Long actually and is overall a pretty good performance.

In the American English dub of Street Fighter II V this Voice Compare shall clear up the rather confusing issue upon who actually voiced Fei Long here. (Due to how voice acting in California for Anime English dubs has had a rather convoluted case of aliases due to union issues and in some cases still does.) Anyways in Manga Entertainment's dub of the series he is voiced by Randy McPherson whom also did a pretty good job as well. (Though I admit I did wonder at first on how it seemed similar to known Anime dub VA Kirk Thornton but I suppose that's just me.) But still nevertheless Randy's voice and overall performance was still satisfactory enough and fitting for the role.

And last but not least is the current English VA for this role namely VA Matthew Mercer and I must say it is impressive. He does give a good attempt at having his role suit Fei Long's persona rather well.

Overall I am not quite sure who to pick here as the best to be honest but I liked them all.
