i like that wasa beef video sasaki. lately i have been trying to use every one of vega’s jump straight up normals at their specific areas of attack isntead of resorting to jumping roundhouse all the time. =) really effective once i get it down.
Yeah, I’d like to get better at choosing jump normals. Sometimes I feel like I’m giving my opponent more time to react and block by using neutral rh instead of mk (if they’re grounded). I’ve also noticed that neutral j fierce seems like a good way to combo into Cosmic Heel. Because of the nature of the fierce, you’re forced to input it very late for it to land, which means you can usually land the CH. I’m just not confident enough with it to try it in an actual match.
Cheers guys, I’ll try it out…
I’ve only ever used fierce and strong for jump-ins. I use fierce if I’m closer and for the overhead-like properties and I use strong if I’m farther. However, whenever I’m neutral jumping or jumping back I prefer to use RH. Something hilarious about Vega backflipping at will, no matter how far he is from the ground. Oh yeah, a really late neutral jump RH combos into d/f RH much easier than a really, really deep jump in fierce, I find.
Here’s a few of mirror matches that I had with some exceptional Vega’s. I’m trying to get prepared for EVO 2010 and have such a long way to go still.

Ah, yeah. It was more or less confirmed that Wasa Beef Shin is Grand Master Rufus player Kirisuto. He switched mains.
What does that show us? Really, have you ever asked yourself the question why only OG/well known players rock the boat with claw? I’m getting the feeling that Vega is not only underplayed, but played pretty badly in general.
I mean look at the best Vega players.
Cat-k - former Vampire Savior beast (Felicia) - owns.
Makoto - best P-Groove player in CvS - owns.
Kirisuto/Wasa Beef - probably second best Rufus player in SFIV - owns.
Those are the 3 best Vegas in the world, probably. Does any other japanese Claw player who plays SFIV seriously have experience like these fellas? No they don’t, and that’s why most of the other japanese Claw players suck ass against the top.
i honestly dont understand why the guy picked vega over rufus(after having accomplished so much with rufy).clearly he sees something that we dont!!

I posted some videos I took while watching Gods Garden 2.
Some of them are qualifiers, some are semi-finals, and some are finals.
One of them has our beloved Claw (vs. Sagat)
Enjoy!
Yeah, it’s Reiketsu vs. Bonchan!
Seeing that match makes me very sad. It was so one sided, that it was beyond stupid. Vega has nothing solid that he could work with, and that is what that match displayed.
If and when Izuna becomes reliable via cancels or feints then I think it might help to make it a more viable tactic. I am assuming that it was not reliable (in higher level play) seeing as Reiketsu did not even attempt to go for the Izuna the many times he could have gone for it.
nah,raiketsu just did not get the loop going.claw needs to use the loop to beat sagat.
Why didn’t he then, when he had so many chances to do so?
yeah maybe he’s the kind of claw that just doesnt go for the loop.a loop is not just about going for the izuna on wakeup,there is a lot more to it than that,mess up a bit and its going to be a painful tu to ultra.
I was watching him play before the tournament against other Top Sagats, and he didn’t do the Izuna loop a single time. He had a couple opportunities as well.
This doesn’t look like the original video but it has some of the craziest vega shit I have ever seen, trade ultra, crossup in the middle of combo, WTF? None of it is usable at least I don’t think so but still it’s full of wow. Did I miss this posted somewhere?
Hey Every1 today i jus made my 1st Video of my CHAMPIONSHIP G1 FiNaL… Give me yur thoughts on what u think about it.
[media=youtube]feA0EiGt3fI[/media]
alot were buggin me to put sum type of vid of me plyin soo here it is =]… sumthing LIGHT enjoy the VIDEO !..more videos to come.
That anti-air focus crumple to ultra is actually pretty interesting… I was wondering if there was any other way to punish other then his slide…
Yeah, I agree the anti air focus crumple could possibly be usable. I’ve seen another video that also showed someone comboing the Ultra after a df rh on Dhalsim. Trade ultra would be cool, but I think it’s too hard to trade hits reliably with any other character.
hey guys, i got some videos from the touranment i want to this weekend. i got 9th out of 43. pretty good placing since there were lots of good players. in one vid i do st. lk, st. lk, crouch fierce (:wgrin:) and in another i get a double perfect. Some pretty crazy shit but I got paired up against Dhalsim and E. Honda when I lost, two matches where my nerves and impatience is a curse and not a blessing, unlike health-less Seth and footsie time Bison. I just couldn’t do damage to those two characters when I ended up losing to them. the vids should be up soon, there in the hands of the organizers, but once they’re up i’ll post them here.
