Vega General Thread: The Masked Narcissist Enters The Tournament

Vega currently in Grand Finals at a French tournament http://www.twitch.tv/PlayStationPlusLeagueFR

Sorry to see Myakyo lose, good job repping claw!

2nd place is not bad and he put up a really good fight. those matches were getting ridiculously close almost every round, lol.

Pretty good Vega. I don’t agree with the Guard Cancels but maybe Necalli has some tight frame-trap shit with his grab? Unless they fixed that in this version and they can’t mash jab to escape from? Even still, you can easily backdash to get out of the throw.

he looked a little flustered at times, doing weird random mistakes like canceling cr. mp into hp roll. you can’t really reliably practice and sharpen your skills with the beta being as limited as it is, though, so you can only fault him so much for that kind of thing.

He should have joined the Master Race for that infinite training mode.

I cringed everytime I saw him cLP into EXCT

since ex roll is plus on block i don’t think that’s necessarily so bad.

It looked like to me that he wanted to V-Reversal when necalli canceled to stomp to try to punish. Bit like how guard cancel roll punishes work in KoF. Im actually gonna test this now since vega seems one of the few people that could actually do this.

Haven’t really experimented with using V-Trigger as a Reversal.

Yep, i just tested it. If necalli does s.HP xx stomp, you can KKK alpha counter and punish with s.HP into whatever.

don’t, it’s not good lol

Someone mentioned walked speed. One thing in the beta that had me floored was how fucking fast Ryu walks. He’s like ST Ryu fast compared to SF4… lol! I was worried about Vega’s walk speed at first but he’s really fast in this, too.

Anyone have a link to the matches on youtube or something?

Hi mates ! I told you i’ll try to see the changes they did in that Dhalsim build, and I think I have them, be ready to cry :
-2hp no more crush counter
-2hp without claw slower
-st lk/st mk to 2mp (claw off) do not work anymore.
-Stand HP to 2mp (claw off) : same
-Qcb HP to ex flying, do not juggle anymore ( I think now QCB hp is almost useless if you don’t have V-trigger or CA, it’s so hard to use it well.)
-claw off biggest combo: HK to target, isn’t possible anymore, Hk don’t even link with 2mp.

But well, at least I saw two buffs :
-V-trigget hits crouched opponents (really good !)
-6HP has less on whiff-recovery. (We can use it sometimes now)

I was really stressed in the grand final, on that huge scene, with all that money to win against the impressive Alioune. That’s why I missed a lot of things, but that was a good tournament anyway.
(And at least I won the smaller tournament the day before. =3 )

2HP not being a crush CH makes me wanna cry =|

those are some serious nerfs, wow. why are they nerfing anitairs??? i really don’t understand…

Game’s not even out yet and they’re nerfing. Why nerfing in the first place? Buff!!

Rose hitting crouching is a huge buff at least

I want to see Switch Claw get invincibility during its spin animation also, it’s only right.
