Dance with the Claw: Vega Match-up Guide/Discussion

that’s about as much as i can help you without seeing the actual match

yea i figured that and i know ur on the 3 so that may not happen anytime. plus its prolly deleted cause my friend enjoys watching my matches so i save alot. it was just the first time i ever ran into a sagat that literally holds back the entire time and when i backed him up he would spam tiger knee and i couldnt really do much about it. thought it was really gay.i lost my cool alot only because i couldnt tech any of his grabs but my kara grabs got punch or he would jus walk back from them.

i technically have ps3 xbox and PC but PC isnt installed and I rarely log onto xbox and PS3 pisses me off… lol. but yeah xbox and ps3 i can log onto to take a look

spitfire… from what i can tell you play a pretty solid vega. the only things you really need to work on is maximizing your damage output.

for whiff punishes you tend to like to do cMPxx EX FBA… not a bad punish but CH ST/EX ST/ EX FBA is better. As for the cLK meaty on corpse hop, 2 things…

go into training mode and compare cLK damage to cMK damage. or if you like cMK xx EX FBA damage to cLKxx EX FBA damage.

Your footsies are far superior to mine however you’re extremely predictable. it’s online, so i had problems blocking and teching your corpsehop shenanagans, even when I knew exactly what was coming.

You cut down on the random wall dives when i hit you with ultra so that’s good.

other than that i got nothin. your vega is solid

ggs now back to my reclusive hole not playing for a month.

hey thanks for the help. i do alot of random stuff when im messing around and i was a bit off cause i typically go into training to calm my nerves and work on alot of things. ur vega i can tell is awsome. the thing is even though im predictable jozhear made a great point about kara grabs. they are added frames so when u dont delay the tech u get caught. i understand the damage different but i like to get my damage from more mix ups than i do off punishes. when i play certain characters i would rather make them use meter than get an extra amount of damage and thats my game.i love the light kick cause u cant get grabbed out. its a great os tool. soon as u left u missed the guy with bison. i know he was bad but when he tele, u got poped by the os ex FBA. or i can jus neutral jump.i need a better mix of maximizing damage and shenanagans.
with my cr LK, i can immediately do a standing cl hp if u corpse hop right or u can jus block for ppl that try to use inv moves and u cant be grabbed out, ive been grabbed out of corpse hop cr med so i only really use it after . im more like jozhears, i hate having to sit and build a charge but i will when i see i need to. i need to improve my def also

you cant get grabbed outta meatys… cMK is just as effective as cLK but with extra damage and stun. But to each their own. I personally like it because it’s hit confirmable. cLK isnt

hey did u notice that overhead into counterhit cr mk too, i gotta test on who all three hits work on. cause u can do Cr Mk xxxx Cr Mkxxxx Cr Mp into ex FBA

yeah i saw it. i didnt adjust fast enough to stop pressing buttons on your frame traps either

need help with vsing chun li’s. specifically what to do when you’re just outside your st mk range and she fire balls. i can’t block the fireball from that range because of the potential mix up after, and jumping is what she want’s me to do, and focus back dash will just get me cornered. focus forward, i’ll just get raped by that cr lk of hers…

hey bud, ive just recently got better at fighting chun, honestly, ur best bet is to block. heres some advice for that match up. if she is swinging and throwing out normals, let her win. dont challege cause u will get hurt more. just block those fireballs. they are not that scary.practice blocking her overhead because thats the only real threat in her game. if she jumps, she is floaty enough for a scarlett terror. if u trade, u still tell them u are willing to anti air which makes them think twice.
