No matter what, it did some good damage. It did about 60 perent on a full life Dan with both Claw and Mask off.
Well reports are… He still sucks, just not as much as he did before - but still not “Normal” Vega.
RCF is faster on startup, but I dunno how much - I’m guessing between Normal and SFIV’s Speed.
The Overhead is now an Overhead!!!
Slide is a lil’ bit faster but still not safe…at all.
Still no iFrames on the flip kick.
Wall dives are sped up, no word on if Izuna was fixed or not.
Ultra II hits low ala Sakura’s Ultra I.
Seems to be faster overall.
Sooooooooooooooo from Bottom of the Barrel Tier to Low Mid to Mid Tier it seems? (still no god damned dependable AA)
Cosmic Heel into Splendid Claw.
We can dream, right? :razz:
That avatar is god-like, btw. :lol:
Here’s a vid that shows some Vega stuff and the second Ultra.

It almost looks like Vega goes higher up on the wall when doing a walldive. But it could just be perspective from the camera tilt.
I will not be surprised if this works
Vega’s second ultra is one of the few that I actually liked. I hope it’s comboable somehow. However, knowing Capcom, they probably made it worse than his first ultra.
Daaaaaang I really want to get my hands on this new and improved Vega. As bad as SF4 Vega is, he is perhaps to date the most deep and fun to use incarnation of the madman yet. Making him just that bit better is only going to make him even more fun. I can’t wait to have Sagats and Balrogs hanging off of my Splendid Claw.
God Damn Capcom is so stupid. I’ll list what he needs one more time
1.) Super Turbo slide
2.) Super Turbo Scarlet Terror
3.) Wall Dive Focus Breaks without EX
4.) Rolling has a fast start up on every single version, is uninteruptable on block, and does decent chip damage.
5.) Better Jump ins
6.) Faster Run Walk Speed
@ Sleepy Zero
He doesn’t need any of that. If ppp backflip went further back and kkk flip recovered more quickly, he’d be 100% good to go with no problems.
Even now he sounds much, much better than before. Overhead mercury ensures that.
Actually, your stance on the matter tells me that its you thats never played a decent Vega in SF4.
Anyway, new ultra looks good…I see Capcom is continuing to use rose petals as a substitute for blood in Vegas moves lol. I havent seen any info on any possible changes to claw/mask removal…you gotta figure theyll change it in the final since it never really made sense, and especially since Sagat, of all people, apparently has a similar move now that only costs 1 bar and has none of the disadvantages.
@ Sleepy Zero, where’d you come from? you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. Why on earth would the wall dive break focus… you can grab people out of their focus anyway… If anything the fix that move needs is a better hitbox on the slash as it loses to pretty much any move in its path. DHEvil is right, the fixes Vega needs are in other places. And I’m personally glad to hear ST does not have invincibility. long live SF4 vega.
I didn’t see anyone really testing it out Joz. I guess we will see. :wgrin:
Me too, I’d personally hate if he became really powerful and the spammers, Blanka/Bison/Ryu/Zangief and Sagat players started switching over to my beloved main…in their hateful droves.
Amen to that. I read somewhere that someone thought the ppp backflip goes back farther now… two character spaces, but I can’t remember where I saw that.
You best not be trolling.
His biggest weakness is he doesn’t have a “Get the fuck off me!” move…at all.
ST Slide, Yes.
ST Flip Kick, YES!
Wall Dive Focus Breaking?, No need - just loosen up the grab timing on Izuna Drop.
It looks like he might have his old claw roll back.
He already had decent jump ins?
He’s already pretty damned quick, and he’s gotten faster from the looks of it (the whole game is faster)
From what I’ve seen in SSF4 he just needs a better Slide and a god damned wake up move and some SOLID AA.
Vega has solid AA. Vega has a very good slide.Vega doesn’t need a wakeup move. Not everyone needs to have a srk. Just block and work your way out from there.
nicest thing about vegas new ultra is out of all the new ultras his is hands down the least gay looking, did anyone fucking see akumas new one… lmao akuma is tottally a *** now.
and cosmic heel should make that ultra comboable, the ultra starts with vegas slide which you can do after cosmic heel for a combo. i would be sad if it didnt.
