there was one at one point. son you late
Watch out for Flash Metroid. He’s a pedophile.
Didn’t make it out of my pool. Lost first match to a rufus even though I had three match points against him… just couldn’t get it done.
Beat a ryu… then in my next matchup dominated a cammy, so the guy just counter picked me with rufus and I was out. Hooray for character loyalty…
I’ve noticed that everyone that posts in this Vega section of the forum has one or more qualities of Vega himself. Y’know, with all the hate and disgust towards others.
I kinda like that.
Haz is some games away to advance out of his pool he’s in losers right now. http://challonge.com/revox2013_ssfivfinals
Edit: he’s currently in top 16 in losers again right now.
You feel like they played dirty, right ?
I am getting much better at fighting Rufus right now. I don’t say against people who main him, but I haven’t lost against those who counterpick with him from a long time. Some tips :
— His dive does not leave him at frame advantage if it hits your upperbody while you’re standing : you could grab him out of it, if he’s not careful. And if he dives again, sLP him.
— His only grounded nvincible reversal (EX messiah) is slow, and gets almost always beaten by ST if he tries to do the second part of the move, which is slow.
— If he hasn’t EX, go for the rape. Just be careful not to jump carelessly, as he has still invincible anti-airs : ground is a good choice.
— Do not press buttons during his strings when he has ultra stoked : just far too dangerous. Just wait till you block a dive standing. =)
At the other hand, I had no problems against Cammys… and Juris, and now that I found really strong ones I understood the pain they can bring. (^_^)
Since I only have online to deal with now (out of only being a casual player now at best. I only play when I can be arsed.) I go through counterpickers a lot.
Especially with a PSN name of "IllustriousVega."
I had a Dee Jay player who I bodied and then basically went like this;
Balrog
Honda
Cammy
Rufus
Bison
Ryu
To which, I then kicked them, after beating all of their idiot counterpicks and sent them a message that simply said “It isn’t a counterpick if you can’t play the character. Stop that.”
It doesn’t help when you are having nerves / combo execution issues. 
Yeah. Got 9th place at Road to Evo REVOX 2013.
Sent to losers by the best Akuma of my country (grand favorite to win the champ). But I faced him again in the losers bracket and I managed to win.
Won the top 16 match against CNB.House (Fei Long, Yun), which was another favorite, but I lost to a Guy in the quarter finals. Match went last round for both of us. We both with 10% of life. So close.
Please let me add you on PSN. I promise ggs in the mirror match.
Good stuff haztlan!
Got top 8 on the DuC tournament i was talking about myself.
Result AE Single:
- MCZ.Tokido (Akuma)
- WW.MCZ.Ryan Hart (Sagat, Yun)
- LLL.Momi (Fei Long)
- GG.Halibel (Akuma)
- Demulant (Sagat, Boxer)
- Gagapa (Dictator)
- Emersion (Claw)
- LLL.Doomdomainn (Ryu)
Pretty decent, i wanted to do better though, got knocked in losers by my personal demon TR.Sheva who has a twin brother that plays a mean vega and then i lost much later against ryan hart.
He cleaned my clock the first match, but i made things interesting the second match, but i couldnt pull it to a win. Have to improve more!
Sadly only my first match of the first day made it on stream, but the stream was pretty low quality without commentators most of the time anyway.
Take your pick of accounts;

I’m usually on my Illustrious one now, since I get kicked from most lobbies that I join on my other one.
Side note: I very seldom play online (or this game anymore really, when I am online, I’m usually playing AC3) and I detest the mirror match, so don’t expect much XD.
From that post, I got:
I don’t play ps3 much.
I am rarely online.
I don’t play Street Fighter.
I hate playing against my own character.
As expected from the resident cynic, but as the resident optimist, I added you anyway. 
Pretty much. I spend far more time on my art than gaming nowadays. I really don’t have the time to be playing online all night like I used to.
Got to play arguably the best Juri on the planet another 30ish times tonight. Took plenty of rounds, made many games come down to the wire but just couldn’t take one. Got better and better, though. He weeded out a bunch of bad habits, made me develop good new ones, and made me read the game every second. Most fun I’ve had in a while.
Double perfected the next guy I played and went on to stomp many other great players.
I’ve played Meteo some, so he knows I tend to suck, but I feel like I keep leveling up. I think I just need high level experience and a bit more matchup/tech knowledge and Ill be fairly solid.

Galahand, sorry i didnt make it up to the greece room at WGC, i forgot the room number!
Got top 32 at WGC, not that happy with the placing, but played some sick matches inside and outside the tournament, that make me feel like im improving.
In the tournament i lost to Mago and a Honda called lorddvd.
I played so silly against the honda… actually jumped into his headbutt a couple of times, so stupid.
I think i lost my patience in the tournament because i faced dictator, gief, mago’s fei, a very solid balrog and then honda… all of them were matches that needed so much patience, i just snapped to dumb offense mode i guess… something to remember next tournament, i should not allow it to happen again.
Match against mago was sick though i should have had the first match, but messed up a punish, it was recorded so ill share it when it gets uploaded.
Room no was 614 haha.
Anyway I think top 32 for a vega regarding this year’s competition is definitely not bad especially when you fall to mago early. So congratulations for your performance.
I went 2-2 myself sold one match to a very random gief and then got out by a good rose at match point for both of us.
There was a very good italian vega that played with my friends in our room and lost to itabashi in the tourn due to him choking at the end of the final round.
He also told me he played poongo in casuals for more than 3 hours the previous night. He felt like being in the eye of a hurricane.
Unfortunately I don’t remember his username.
I need a gif. Asking on the offchance anyone here has it, having trouble finding it myself.
Vega throwing a towel over Blanka’s head and knocking him into a pool.
It’s from the awful American cartoon.
