How are you going to do that when feinting costs a standard action and then you can only move after that, what is the benefit of using this?

If you take the Imp. Feint feat, I can see it, 'cause then you can actually hit him in the same round using the advantage you get, but without...he simply looses the penalty just before you were about to hit him in the next round.

Am I missing something?

PS: Sorry for posting this if this has been coevered before, but the search function is disabled, I didn't find anything using google and I don't see any immidiate rules clarification threads on feint in the immidiate vicinity.
