Couple chars that do okay vs Vega would have to be Balrog… especially in C. His lvl3 hurts so much… and can punish most of Vega’s pokes even if blocked.
Sagat cuz he does so much damage… plus two TUs and Vega’s mask and claw fall off… so its kinda hard for him to just jump in. Add in Sagat’s j FP fucking hurts like hell… Vega is hard pressed to stay grounded. Once u got that… start working through pokes. Just remember… Vega can’t do close to same damage as u… so don’t worry too much about getting hit.
Bison… he is ok counter char… w/ low jumps and run… w/o it… hope u get that CC before u die.
Eagle… i was hesitant to say this… but seriously… Eagle is a bitch for 3/4 the top tier. Blanka has probs vs him. Sagat does. Bison does. Vega does too. Cammy doesn’t have any problems so we can forget her.
Chun only has three weapons against Cammy in ALL grooves: s.strong, rc fierce kikkoken, and low strong. The thing is, she is a good counter because all of these work extremely well against Cammy.
Anyhow, what’s a good Yama counter? I played Dr. B’s nasty Yama, and even though I won that first match, the others were hell to pay due to my lack of Yama experience.
GeekBoy: Rog has 2 things going for him against Vega: low forward and s.forward. IMO Vega rapes Balrog, at least until Rog gets a level 3. Vega’s pokes all have too much… “lag” and are easily punished by lvl3 mistake punish of death super.
I disagree. All future Evolutions will most likely be done in the proper 1 match format (although it’s not likely we will see single elimination for a while. :lame:

Actually, in my opinion, Sagat owns this match, but it’s a LOOOOONG match. Bas was beating everyone with Athena one day till I got on the machine with Sagat matched up against her. He couldn’t get past my s.short. I just did s.short all day, and if she jumped I would DP. He also said that it’s impossible to counter CC his AA CC if it’s done deep. I like this match.
Yama doesn’t seem like the sort of character to have any true counter characters. He can out poke lotta characters with that huge s. rh and the slashes. His c. fierce is excellent anti-air and anti-crossup. He has good roll. He has throw super. He has anti-air super. High priority jumpin forward which ticks very very well with his throw super. He can build meter fast by whiffing qcb + kick. He has command throw… Need I go on? Yama is very very very very balanced character. The only thing that would really “counter” Yama imo is just running away from him cause his dash is slow, and his jump is short. But even running away can be difficult when he has meter especially because you can’t roll through his offense (super throw/command throw/normal throw(duh)) and his anti-air super gets rid of the “i sj over ur head and turtle once again” strategy which belong to characters like Rolento, Vega, Bison, Blanka, Chun, Athena, Maki, Geese, etc.
Rolento can runaway with RC Scouters or RC wall jumps if Yama somehow corners him. I don’t care if you’ve got L3, RC Scouter is going right through the Guillotine.
And if it’s N Rolento, he can just wait for Yama to screw up and whiff a Snake Arm or roundhouse and L3 TNP him.
What determines when Vega’s claw and mask fall off? Is it just a damage amount that must be reached during the round or is more like stun where he has to get damaged a certain amount in a certain amount of time?
Also I assume characters like Rock and Cammy can also punish blocked pokes from Vega with their respective crazy fast supers. Any one else?
On Yamazaki it seems that his s.roundhouse and low roundhouse are completely unpunishable if you block them(aside from counter rolls which I haven’t messed with). Just want someone else to confirm/deny this.
Cammy killer? Easy enough even though no one will believe me, Athena. Yeah thats right Athena. Athena’s df alone is a pain in the ass for Cammy to get past. Just that move alone beats almost anything Cammy has, now its time for no one to believe me --.
thats because athena’s cf takes out almost everything cammy has, she cant jump in on her or go to do a move because the cf with cancel almost all of them.
Just a thought, those anyone know how Ryu stands against Nakoruru.So far,she has been countering all of my attacks and I need some tips on how Ryu can fight back.
I need help fighting akuma /yama/blanka k groove
terry /vega/blanka c groove
cammy/nakoruru /blanka k groove
guile /bison /blanka c groove
I mostly use dhalsim/kyo/rugal in a-groove ,k-groove
thanks
