This is the best iteration of Vega in all his SF4 iterations, but he’s not dramatically different from his previous versions. Several minor changes do make him better than before, but if you’re looking to relive the glory of the days when he was amazing in EVERY game he was in, that’s not happening. All other Claws in other games > Ultra Vega > Claw in all previous SF4 iterations. He’s solid in this game, but he definitely has to work for wins in most matchups. He’s a good character in a room full of amazing characters.
I think SF4 Vega is better than Alpha 3 Vega. He’s far more solid. Only thing is Alpha lets him infinite, but Alpha can’t cancel cr.punch attacks and has shitty standing kicks. His RCF was much better in ST and Alpha though. MUCH better.
Also, I’m sorry I haven’t had any videos recorded of the whiff stuffs. I guess some of it got patched? I wouldn’t know, I just got USF4 for PC and on top of that, had down time because of a hard drive failure. Also, my TV went bust, so I couldn’t/can’t use my PS3 and don’t have access to Ultra on that system anymore anyway.
your tv did you a favour, pc>ps3 anyway 
Haha, but not a favor to my wallet. I actually had my PC hooked up to my TV anyway. It made working with text and writing so much easier when the screen was large. I have to sit so close to this tiny monitor and it’s pretty uncomfortable. 
So does far st.LK x 2 linked into cr.MP not work on Boxer? I can’t even get far st.LK cr.lp cr.mp to work either. I can do these links pretty regularly.
The spacing is very specific and it only works when he’s crouching.
Of course those hurt boxes fatten up when anyone crouches. That sucks man. Something about his standing animation is dumb. No hurt boxes on his arms. Other characters do though, it’s so dumb how there is no consistency to some of this stuff.
Balrog is bullshit for that stuff. At least he has other weaknesses too.
Can Vega’s Ultra 2 be comboed into? I saw someone do EX Scarle Terror into another EX Scarlet Terror, so I tried EX Scarlet Terror into Ultra 2 but it doesn’t work.
The only juggle aside from CH U2 that you can do is trade EX FBA > U2.
You can also link it after a counter hit crMK, jump in or when the second hit of clHP nails a counter hit.
There’s confirm to rfc if you can’t that…
Easiest way is RCF xx Red Focus then Ux
does counterhit LP RCF (last hit), Lv 2 Focus still crumple/combo? If so, that’s another option for combo into ultra that saves a bar from RF
I will check.
Nope. Unless I’m not doing something right.
In USFIV RCFs are not getting bonus hitstun from counter hits anymore.
Fuck it. I’m gonna cave and buy the damn game.
I hate myself >.>
Edit:
Annnnnd… that’ll do it for me. going back under my rock for an undetermined amount of time.
“A wild Vegaman appears!”
“Vegaman ran away.”
We’ll wait here in the meantime 
Yeah, I saw this in training the other day. I don’t get it, why can’t they get this shit right? 5 years and Vega is still beta status.
Well, I’ll be playing Vega at Art of Fighting in a week.
