Vega General Thread: The Masked Narcissist Enters The Tournament

They could give him that or some juggle after it, funny thing is actually 80 damage.

WTF IS THIS SHIT?

St.lk does special cancel in this beta… They still took away alot of fun, tho.

wait ? low tatsu not juggling into EX DP ? wait wut ? they took out the corner juggle he had with tatsus ? :confused:

Hi mates ! I’ll play a bit today, so if you want I can stream, just tell me there or on my PS4 ( Myakyo ).

That didn’t look fun for the Chun player!

Nice use of AE for anti-airs

So I’ve spent some time testing his parry. I used Birdie as test subject and found that it is almost impossible to reaction parry his st.mk due to the parry’s startup. At the same time, his mk beats all the Ryu’s buttons. The only solution is reaction dp.

For those who wonder, now you have to do 6hp>mp>2mk>… to combo rather than 6hp>2hp. Also, it seems that his 4hk push opponent further and you can’t combo dp afterwards. In the corner, if you want to spend bars, you can ex fireball>ex dp. Need to be close though.

I believe Ryu is worst character in the beta now. Whoever proposed those adjustments from the first beta must be a Ryu hater.

I’ve compiled a HUGE list of combos for Vega. In this list, there are all sorts of categories. Enjoy.


Meterless empty jump combo:
c.LK, c.LP xx LK CT
127 dmg / 229 stun


BNBS

2 bar bnb
BH s.HP xx SC, claw c.LP xx

CA combo with V-Trigger
BH s.HP xx SC, claw c.MP xx V-Trigger, CA
485 dmg / 240 stun

Max punish (no CH), but ONLY IF THEY’RE STANDING!

Most damaging 1 bar combo:
s.HK, Matador Blitz xx EX FBA, Izuna Drop
308 dmg / 424 stun

Replace Izuna Drop with the slash and juggle afterwards with V-Trigger for:
364 dmg / 424 stun
399 dmg / 521 stun with a jump-in

While this is amazing damage, you have to keep one thing in mind. S.HK whiffs on crouchers. Only use these combos when they whiff something big to ensure they’re standing.

s.HK, Matador Blitz xx CA
443 dmg / 304 stun
470 dmg / 421 stun with jump-in

You can V-Skill through Necalli’s stomp lol. I wonder if they gave it a projectile hitbox in order to make it nullify them. The V-Skill is upper body invincible and projectile invincible.

That guy didn’t know where he was lol

Yup only ex tatsu xx ex dp works lol didn’t try ge other ones

Big thing for me is that St. Jab to St.MP no longer works :frowning:

He’s more minus after a close roundhouse now as well. And that parry startup, capcom plz.

As it is he will not be able to keep up with the rest of the cast.

I blame this on Xiaohai winning SCR. If he just lost Ryu wouldn’t have taken the nerf bat.

Well actually, this is probably the exact same Ryu that Xiaohai won with, so now Ryu won’t have hadokens by the 3rd phase of the beta.

can’t throw a single fireball vs karin
this MU is BS in the current state with these ryu nerfs ffs

Damn sounds like Ryu got the 3S Sean treatment.

Well nash is better now lmao

After spending yesterday afternoon/evening and today morning on the beta, I gotta say I’m really liking Vega is SFV. That run-away, mid distance control and poke SF4 Vega was cool but this one is even better.

I’m currently 250ish on the overall beta ranking and it seems Vega is not bad at all. Decent damage, many tools, great mobility and the ability to switch between Claw and bare-hand almost gives us access to 2 different characters. I think they are going to nerf him a bit because he seems solid.

In terms of BnB, I think in meterless “j LK, cr MP, st LK, cr MP, MK Roll” is fine and builds decent meter + if/when they block that st LK, I noticed that the second cr MP sometimes stuffs what they’re trying to do next. Also when in Claw mode, st HP connects after a deep j LK (though I’m still not sure why you would go in if you’re in Claw mode)

Looks like you can do all sorts of stuff after an anti-air qcb HP (with Claw) or st HK AA-counter, depending on how much meter you have/are willing to spend.

How are you liking him so far? Do you think he’ll get nerfed/buffed? What would you change?

Apart from questionable anti-airs clawless, and noe reversals at all, I think he’s a complete beast.

I spent a full game just doing st.hp claw cancels and command throws against a Cammy who I made afraid to press buttons. Oh my god. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.
