Vega’s poking game is fine. But his specials really need improving. Wall Dives, SHC, and Claw Roll are lol. ST is only good in some combos.
EX is okay. The Wall Dive and SHC versions are nice. ST and Claw Roll definitely need changes.
Let’s not even mention his Super/Ultra in relation to Bison, Chun, or Dhalsim.
I never feel like I can outpoke Vega as Chun. I could just be shit at footsies (quite likely) but that’s how I feel. Certainly I get the impression Chun’s normal poking range is not the most effective place to be in the matchup.
Vega and his pokes would be good in another game, but in SF4 most other chars don’t have to worry about it so much because once they score a knockdown, if they have any type of decent wakeup game, Vega is fucked.
Just had a thought…
What about an ex Izuna Drop?
It could work similar to how his super does in Super Turbo whereas it only uses an ex bar if it connects. As far as the animation goes, Vega could drop his opponent on their head as normal, but it makes a louder “THUMP” sound, and lots more particle effects to show that he drops his opponent harder than usual. Maybe give him a different yell too like “RRAAAOOOOGGHH!” :xeye:
Anyway… As far as execution goes, you would just input:
:r: + :2p: as with any other ex-move, and it would do considerably more damage than his normal Izuna Drop of course. Ex Izuna Drop wouldn’t have longer range than the normal one because it would be a little overpowered, maybe? I dunno… Maybe give it slightly more range?
Thoughts on this?
His EX should sound like [media=youtube]0-afZZulNoU"[/media].
meh , doesnt seem like it’ll add anything
i’d rather have an EX flip that goes full screen
as for voice changes , if they keep the masking falling off thing they should give him a new Voice for when that happens , as if he goes to rage mode or so , something like how [media=youtube]Q-CpMi1M3jU"[/media] sounds , that’ll be fuckin sick !
What a joke. Everyone is getting a little something meaning everyone is getting buffed even Sagat.
I guess Capcom honestly think he’s awesome. Oh wait he just said dont expect him to jump up in the tier list…so they know hes shit and want to keep him that way.
lol you honestly think the nerf Vega got in SF4 was just accidental ? they made him shit on purpose
lets face it …Crapcom hates Vega , so if you want to use him you’ll have to accept that he’s a bottom tier character from now on
Actually, I think someone should do a voice mod and just replace all of Vega’s sound effects and voices with Bobcat samples. Toooo awesome.
Yeah! In the new trailer, the only time that Vega is shown is when he’s getting punched in the face by Dan during his ultra… Some major Vega disrespect right there. I wonder why Capcom decided to show Vega so much hate?
Again, I do hope Seth is just screwing around with our heads. The game is still a ways from release. Things could still change for the better.
I don’t know with a second more useful ultra Vega would certainly jump up a spot or three.
Uhhhhmmmm, ST Claw maybe? No technical skill required to break your opp. like a twig? XD
haha thats one of the most noticeable things in the trailer… vega getting punched in the face! lets be real here though guys, whatever changes or add-ons in ssf4 for vega is only gonna make him better… i cant imagine him getting any worse than he already is.
are you serious :<
Thats a pretty ridiculous statement. Have hope though… perhaps his second ultra will be useful. :party:
But but what about Balrog? He owns in ST as well and look at him now!
No matter… I agree with Buddha. He can only get better. I’m hoping for his second ultra to be Red Impact, or Scarlet Mirage. Whatever the outcome may be, I will continue to main him.
Mh… Yeah but Vega was more stupid XD They even softbanned him in tournaments because it apparently didn’t take any skill to win with him :'D
Fix the roll. It’s ridiculous. I picked Vega, expecting the ex roll to be super quick startup. NOPE! It starts up all right, with a bajillion useless frames of non-invincible animation. The regular roll is fine. Not great, but okay. If you could cancel it would be many times more useful, though.
Its too bad only smug assholes who like to sit in Ivory Towers believe that shit.
:rolleyes:
