@Jai: Doesn’t say. Could be anything. Could be all the above.
@Joz: Azrael was just mentioning things that hadn’t been brought up yet.
Sobat buff? Vega stole one of Deejay’s moves now?
So when are these updates supposed to come out anyways?
I bet the sobat was supposed to be the I frames on ST, but yea I was thinking the same thing.
RCF faster, forward dash faster? Backdash weakened? Could our guy be turning into an offensive beast? >:)
I like the sound of that forward dash 
I was thinking (more so hoping) that sabot referred to CH. If that got even buffer than it already is, id…finish eating my sandwich. Its a damn good sandwich.
Ok what the fuck.
Prospect of Cosmic Heel buff?
I don’t know what’s better…that or APC’s upcoming tour…
I’ll take both tyvm :Ð
if they nerf the back dash i think they’ll go about weakening it, by making it travel less distance. Increased foward dash, i like. and alex what milf means is that when Vega is holding down back your opponent risks a lot when he steps forward.
I vaguely remember reading some poorly translated info that vega’s super now launches on the way up like BHC. If true that would be crazy. Crazy good I mean.
Dude Vega’s foward dash was already pretty nasty imo. But its faster now? Whoa
Never heard that.
If that is true he would be retardedly good since he could cancel mp RCF and cr mp into super. Imagine walk cl HP x cr mp x Super
My thoughts exactly. Which is why I’m thinking it’s not true lol. I mean, that change on top of all these other buffs would easily make vega more scary than vanilla sagat ever was. And capcom seems scared of letting any character be TOO good in this game.
I heard something about the smaller hitbox on his super. Nothing about it as a launcher though…that’d be a little crazy with the cancellable rcfs.
sup bro
came here to do just that
Ahem.
FUCK y’all. All you iframe haters are retarded. “OH MY GOD I’M NOT SOMEONES BITCH ON WAKEUP OR WHEN IM PRESSURED ANYMORE! AAAAAAAA”
The funny thing is that if this stays in the game on release you’re all gonna shit bricks at how useful it is and how GREAT it is to make people respect you and your character. It’s not going to be boring and you’re going to be playing the game almost the exact same, save, oh I don’t know, not getting demon flipped by Akuma to death, not letting mouth breathing retards dive kick spam you all day, not allowing shoto’s to j.hk their way to victory… you know, all that fun stuff which I’m sure will be sorely missed by you masochists.
If you have THAT much pride feel free to not use the move. Hell, when else were you gonna use the move anyway without it being a combo ender or a juggle follow up? Just let people frame trap you all day like they used to and not use your EX-ST. Play the game exactly as you did in vanilla.
Meanwhile the people who don’t have dicks shoved up their asses will welcome the tool and restore Vega to his former glory.
I haven’t read this whole thread since I haven’t the time yet, but so far I see a lot of people bitching about his weakened back dash… YOU’RE GETTING SOMETHING BETTER YOU FUCKTWITS.
I’ll be back later because I’m absolutely positive the garbage players/good but dumb players in this thread have said something incomprehensibly stupid for me to rant about.
No shit.
XD funny shit, that post was so good i could almost hear your voice narrating it.
hai, tat-chan desu
eto ne.
my view on vega is probably a lot similar to jozhear’s, ruggie’s, sasaki’s, etc (or at least last time i checked). so i’ve always felt that invincibility on ex scarlet terror, from a design perspective, was a bad idea. ultimately it would end up removing diversity from the game. vega should be able to distinguish himself from other characters in terms of playstyle; he should have things that only he excels at, along with his own weaknesses.
A smooth killer vega is more to my preference. kinda like… muhammad ali!

ya, kinda like that! i want to play a character that can dance and poke like that, and be able to totally clown on someone in footsies. but as things are now, there are still characters that not only beat vega in footsies, but are able to apply an insane amount of pressure after they knock him down (ryu, chun for example).
my wish list:
- slight increase in walk speed
- slightly improved normals/pokes
- a reliable anti-air (does not need to be damaging!)
i’d be happy with these changes. not only would vega be considered better, but no would label him overpowered either because he would still be weak on defense like always. and it would keep things interesting too, don’t you think?
in summary: giving everyone a “hurrrr shoryuken!” move to get out of bad situations is just not the right answer! there are other ways to make a character better and keep him fun to play at the same time
( ¯_¯)b
soda you main vega and alt hakan… there’s no way i’d ever land U1 on you. you may not see it but i land U1 far more often than not… the only time i dont land it is when i guess. I’ll throw it out there just purely as a random guess.
alex there’s no real set up for it. it’s all about reaction. on fireballers obviously you nail their fireballs. people who like to jump (gief, adon, seth etc) i usually nail their jump from behind. vs vega (except on masked_nobleman… lol ) most vega players stay pretty grounded and dont do many wall dives so nailing a U1 is almost impossible. about the only people i’ll consistantly pick U2 is vs chun, hakan, sakura, cammy, and vega
I see what Tatsu’s saying. Giving him a reliable GTF off me move just doesn’t fit his character design. It balances him, but doesn’t balance the game. If that makes sense.
That Vega has strengths and weaknesses, and that’s what makes the character fun. Playing to his strengths and improvising to cover up for his shortcomings.
Oh well, time to mash. amirite? :3 but i do see what you guys mean, and in a way i agree. But oh well,
UME-SHORYU!!!
this
have u ever played ST? he´s top cuz he has the fastest walk speed, gdlk normals and a reliable anti-air (and of course the fucking vortex)… capcom wont do that again…
