Vega General Thread: The Masked Narcissist Enters The Tournament

yeah i miss already my cosmic heel

It was a really good move. It shrunk your hitbox in just the right way, it was safeish, lead to good damage and I loved it as a whiff punisher. Such a good footsie tool. That said, it would probably lose a bit of its power because throw ranges are small in SFV. One of it’s cooler function was to use it to hit crouch techs when you’re threatening them with Vega’s massive kara-throw.

In the absence of characters i care about it think vega is looking like the character in the starting roster I’m gravitating too, cant wait to get my hands on him in the beta

Myakyo · 2015-10-14T13:56:41.000Z

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rk3gadREbk It shows a good amount of Vega’s combo.
I just discovered one btw which I didn’t put in my list : st.mp 2mp with claw on.

Time_Mage · 2015-10-14T15:20:42.000Z

Considering the loss of cr.LPx2, cr.MP, that one looks like a good confirm for V-Trigger, it gives plenty of time to check if the opponent was standing or not, plus starts with st.MP which is a good poke.

Also, I didn’t see him try standing V-Trigger into EX FBA, which makes me suspect it isn’t possible, despite earlier claims in this thread (it migh have changed in recent builds, too).

Myakyo · 2015-10-14T19:00:56.000Z

I’m actually in the beta; and Vega can do some stuff I didn’t know :

Anti-air : QCB + HP , V trigger, Super
Combo : 2lk, 2st.lk, 2mp (claw off)

TimeMage: No he can’t combo EX FBA after V-trigger.

That damage
Too bad Capcom is probably gonna nerf all of that or remove some possible links/juggles, because they’re fucking stupid and can’t allow people have fun in an SF game

What is that back claw move at 0:43? Looks like a close normal but i know proximity moves are out and the only command normals were buster claw and mercury peice.

DevilJin_01 · 2015-10-14T20:57:29.000Z

It’s his s.MP.

General_Awesomo · 2015-10-14T21:41:44.000Z

At 0:43, claw on s.MP links into c.MP. That’s great!

Time_Mage · 2015-10-14T21:48:23.000Z

General_Awesomo:

At 0:43, claw on s.MP links into c.MP. That’s great!

And cr. MK links into st.MP… Close enough and if pushback allows, cr.MK, st.MP, cr.MP will be possible, which is damn cool and an easy confirm off of a low into V-TriggerxxSuper.

We didn’t see that in the video. If you meant what we saw at 0:12, that was c.MK linking into claw on s.LP. And that would make sense as we’ve seen c.MK, c.LK xx EX ASE in Vega’s reveal trailer.

General_Awesomo · 2015-10-14T23:22:00.000Z

Starting at 19:27.

“Let’s begin playing the endless waltz.”

This might be a training mode quote. Anyways, the guy shows Vega’s command list. Some moves and move names have been revised.

Claw off -> bare-handed attack
Claw on -> claw attack
Switch Claw -> Switching Claw
Bloody Rain CA has additional input of QCBx2 + P.

The Bloody Kiss V-Trigger now has names for all of its variations.

s.Bloody Kiss -> Bloody Kiss - Torero
c.Bloody Kiss -> Bloody Kiss - Rojo
j.Bloody Kiss -> Bloody Kiss - Azul

Buster Claw, as some of you have noted, had its input changed.

DF+HP -> F+HP

Personally, I don’t like that change. As I’ve noted before, the DF motion assured that I wouldn’t get Buster Claw accidentally when walking forward and going for s.HP.

Whoops, you’re right. I got carried away on my enthusiasm.

Whoa, so you can go into CA from RCF???! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIESF3wNYxg

4:00 - Maybe this was common knowledge, but I wasn’t aware of it.

Some of the combos in the beginning are pretty nice too. Vega gets excellent damage off his jump in attacks, easily 30-40% as long as he has V-trigger or some meter. I think he’s looking pretty strong, but I feel they’ll nerf the RCF. There really isn’t any reason to since you can jab him afterward, but we’ll see how Capcom handles it.

Thoughts?

TheTeaVirus · 2015-10-15T03:36:13.000Z

Not gonna lie, I’m already tired of seeing roll, c.lp, roll in every video. Has anyone seen a hard knock down? I know Capcom is trying to eliminate them but im sure hes got something.

Eclipse:

0:09 What was going on with that jump, it looks delayed.

Jadow · 2015-10-15T04:03:23.000Z

Hmm most players seem to forget about his new claw move, and I know they are not trying to be practical with these combos but unless there is an easy way to land FBA on a grounded opponent a lot of these combos are mostly for show.

Can’t wait to see what you guys come out with the beta in the near future.

Vega can take half your life from a single wall dive mix up in Street Fighter 5;...

We'll be honest, Vega probably hasn't been the most widely discussed of the Street Fighter 5 ...

i can hear the crying and “nerf him” already

GenUser · 2015-10-15T04:59:27.000Z

Def using this character till the 3rd strikers come just to annoy the shit out of people
