Lei Fang joined the Tournament in order to fight Jann Lee, a martial arts expert who saved her life from a bunch of thugs six years ago. For that, she was very grateful, yet felt that she could have handled the situation herself. After that incident, she mastered the art of Tai Chi Quan and now seeks to prove her independence. Lei Fang fights well in the DOA tournament which secretly has a rivalry towards Ayane as a friend of Kasumi.
In the fourth installment of the tournament, she fights Jann Lee in her final stage. Interestingly enough, she does not fight Alpha-152, which is what she is supposed to be doing according to Jann Lee's story mode.
In the film DOA: Dead or Alive, Lei Fang (portrayed by Ying Wang) appears as a background character talking on a plane.
[edit] Personality
Lei Fang is a spunky, intelligent and cheerful 19-year-old student. Practicing martial arts has given her a strong dedication to self-improvement, both mentally and physically. Lei Fang hopes that by honing her own skills, she can eventually help others to do the same. At the same time, her young age and general inexperience with the world around her can sometimes cause her to not fully think things through.
Along with a strong motivation for self-improvement, Lei Fang is also somewhat arrogant. She became angry at Jann Lee for helping in a time of need, rather than thanking him for his assistance. She also doesn't hesitate to mock an opponent after a victory in battle. Also, Lei Fang is known as a Tai Chi Quan genuis to many others.
The name "Lei Fang" (Simplified Chinese: 丽凤 Lì Fèng) means "beautiful phoenix", which is a common name for Chinese girls in Shanghai.[citation needed] This implies Lei Fang is from the city.
[edit] Gameplay
Lei Fang is a very technical character, focusing on powerful holds and parry maneuvers to expose the enemy for counterattacks. She also has an excellent air-juggling game. A common combo starter is the Renkan-Sho-Kinda, which hits 3 times in succession, and depending on the terrain height and launch duration, can hit up to 6 times in succession.
Her kicks, similar to Gen Fu, are also excellent combo starters (such as Sanren-Kyaku) and have an excellent execution and recovery time frame. Due to her varying attack string levels, she can be very difficult to counter against.
