Vega General Thread: The Masked Narcissist Enters The Tournament

it doesn’t whiff on crouched =D

Oh I misread your post, thought you had a 5 Lp instead of a 2. Thanks again :slight_smile: That’d be crazy if his 2 Lp whiffed on crouch lol

Guys, the Vega SF5 theme is so… perfect ! <3 <3

Karin is so scary, especially in v trigger mode. She seems to have an option for every scenario. I’m hating that MU even more than the Mika MU tbh.

I hate Karin too (stupid braindead EWGF) but I am thoroughly unintimidate by her V-Trigger mixups. Just watch out for the elbow, it telegraphs when she wants to crossup. Don’t get baited into trying to punish her backdash. (Tho I think c.MK might work? someone challenged me and I had to go right as I was testing that particular normal). I hear it can be a good combo extended when canceled into, but I haven’t seen anyone do that yet.

2nd best Vega theme, right after the Hyper SF2 arrange

Shhh, be quiet before they remove all chain cancels as well. But I agree with the guy that said mediums and heavies should be a little better since they want us to commit to them for combos. Ryu’s st. HK should at least hit crouchers.

You’re wrong now. Ryu is coming to the beta in some minutes. Get hype.

Playing against Karin is about as fun as pulling teeth. At least most of them don’t seem to understand that she has anything out of rekkas other than the crossup, but still.

Also I think I can definitively say that v-skill is fucking useless for antiairing. If it doesn’t just straight up lose to whatever they jump in with, they’ll just block the hit when they land (because it’s that slow) and then punish you.

I am done playing for the night, this version of Vega is all I wanted these past 7 years of SF4, I can zone and pressure to hearts desire thanks to the stance change.

I feel like the character who gave the most trouble was Mika, I cannot play footsies with her, she stuffs a lot of my pokes, my best bet was rushing down without my claw but one tiny slip up on my pressure I can say goodbye to a quarter of my health, she is that dangerous.

So glad they added him back, can blow up a ton of gimmicky stuff with parry now.

About st.MP to cr.HK not working, I think they added more startup to his cr.HK, it feels slower to me.

Also LK Tatsu into EX SRK doesn’t work anymore, along with EX Tatsu to EX Hadouken.

I wish I never played beta 1 ryu because I felol in love, don’t like him at all now, and his face looks crappies too don’t know if it’s lighting or what

heres my thoughts on sfv ryu

Yeah is it me or has crmk range been buffed??

I can’t do walk forward s.lk xx fireball for whatever reason. SRK always comes out or the fireball doesn’t combo if I delay the motion.

Did you pause between walking forward then doing s.lk to fireball?

MK tatsu no longer hits crouchers…

You can’t juggle in the corner anymore with ex srk after lk tatsu. …

Pretty soon the only combo he will have will be hit xx special lmao

So his gameplan now is to tickle his opponent’s feet to death, sounds legit

Holy shit did Ryu get gimped
