I fucking called it.
Looks like my main reason in playing this game is gone now, luckily they have Elena my favorite 3s character besides Sean, hopefully Elena is at least way more viable than Vega in this game ever was. Sounds like tier whoring but dammit 5 years too long in the gutter sucks right now.
I always did believe DWU wouldn’t help Vega at all… Staying on the ground longer waiting for the inevitable isn’t going to do anything, still gonna get jumped on as soon as the opponent seeing you get up cuz of Vega crap wake up game that was kinda fixed but now not fixed at all.
I encourage everyone to make a stink about it wherever you can. Not too late yet.

I’m gonna still main Vega, despite not having cr.lp +5 on hit, nor invulnerability frames on EX ST. It’s a bummer, really. These were THE buffs, imo…
In any case, this game is not my main game and Vega is the only character I can use (or barely, but whatever). I’m the kind of player who sticks with characters even when the new iteration post patch/upgrade/new iteration of the game gets nerfed or is still shit. It’s called character loyalism. Some may call it stupidity, and I wouldn’t blame them.
Man, I knew the buffs were a bit over the top, but removing everything and yet keeping the nerfs too? Damn…this is definitely not how they are keeping it…that would be an obvious contradiction to their entire original philosophy for this version of SSFIV.
Ill never stop playing Vega but shit…things aren’t looking good lol
I don’t understand, take away a lower tier characters needed buffs, yet give back a crazy strong vortex character’s hard knockdown neck breaker and kunai changes.
Nerf the weak and buff the strong?
There is obviously a flaw here.
For logic and reason, I don’t see it staying this way.
(Though it is Capcom…)
bah fuck it…
combofiend is going to be at FR. I’ll go and make one last attempt to talk sense to him. After this… I’m done though. I don’t expect my input to be heard by Capcom Japan even if Peter were to pass it on.
I REALLY don’t think invincibility on ST is the way to go. But if he’s not getting an offensive buff, then yes… he needs it.
crLP +5.
CH with AT LEAST +1 of blockstun. +2f would be needed for him to be able to pressure after the opponent blocked a CH in footsies. And a hitbox buff so it can catch low profile moves is needed so he can actually fulfil its purpose and catch all crouch techs.
EX ST being invencible will reward players with good reaction. No more need to deal with randoms Jaguar Kicks, Wheel Kicks that we can’t punish decently and so on. So its really handy.
crMP xx EX FBA not whiffing against half of the cast in the corner would be really important too.
Remove EX RCF nerf.
Take away the Super if you feel like it. I am willing to sacrifice it for +10 dmg on EX FBA to be honest. That shit is by no means “a huge buff”.
Thats what I’d say to Cambo if I ever met him again.
if super is left in, at least make it able to combo characters like a crouching rose. i was disappointed when i did st.lk, cr.lp, cr.mp x super and cr.mk, cr.mp x super misses on a standing ryu after all that hard work…of course, the mod might be a bit different then the actual build, but you can never be too careful!
our hopes and dreams (and lives??) all rests in your hands vegaman. make us proud
You can do it Vegaman!! Show him the fiery fiery passion of justice!
Well, I’ve just “talked” to Combofiend in the Capcom Fighter’s stream.
What I got from him was (in my own words):
“We are looking what to do to make Claw balanced.”
“crLP at +5 on hit was his strongest change. Online I can see it being actually legit, but offline was too good. The hitconfirm ability was way too huge.”
When they fought against a random Claw online Haunts went:
"Oh, salty Vega players…"
So at least it seems that they the shit they’ve done. Don’t know if they actually care, though.
Few minutes ago, they mentioned how they basically realized they took away everything Vega had. The one ‘good’ thing being that they made his super ‘usable’. Other than that they didn’t speak anything else about the matter aside from that they’ll ‘take care of it’ or something along those lines.
I’m just hoping that’s a good thing, considering they at least realize what they’ve done to this character.
Oh, and there was no mention of the EX roll nerf, so perhaps it won’t be nerfed after all.
…Or Peter just forgot about it.
Come on guys are you still holding out hope? They’ll say that on stream because they don’t want people who play Vega to not buy the game. They’re not going to buff him, they won’t do shit. He’s going to suck like he still sucks except it will be much worse against a buffed cast since he got nerfed compared to them.
Oh, no, I know what they’ll do. They’ll give his EX RCF to FBA combo back and say “hey we buffed him! see, we aren’t gonna let ya down!”
2 frames jab is too easy? Come on. It made him too strong? Seriously? Fucking crack smokers, I tell ya.
They obviously have no intention of making him viable. Why waste the energy on it? They haven’t listened to the Vega legions for 4 iterations of the game already, they do not care and do not want him to be good.
because unlike back in December, I don’t have to fly all the way across the country. I can just take a 15 min drive to the venue. Personally, I’m not holding out hope. My hope’s gone. I don’t expect to be heard, nor do I expect them to make any meaningful changes. I’m essentially just throwing a quarter into the fountain just in case because there isn’t much work involved. If they finally listen, great. But I ain’t holding my breath.
I wish you also asked about the stupid ex.roll nerf. But this is also good. It shows they are not oblivious to their own stupidity
The stream chat was spammed with EX RCFs questions. He did not answered it.
Them suns of bishes!
Keep making noise. If they don’t do anything, at least we tried.
Make noise all you want, they don’t care. People have been making noise for what, going on 5 years now? Shit won’t change.
Oh, this wasn’t directed at you in particular. More directed against people who are going to spam twitter accounts and capcom unity accounts. Wasted effort.
It’s great that you’re going, if you were to get some real talk in that would be awesome. I still don’t think they’ll care, but at least you can get your voice really heard and not just another random on twitter or stream chats being random.
Don’t be a bitch.
