Vega Match-Ups Thread: I Only Understand the Pain of Being too Strong and Beautiful

[quote=“Nevermore, post:59, topic:177721”]

mp dp is his best dp being 6 frames fully invincible.

We could have a google doc that anyone could add to, then you just update the OP post with that.

Against Chun m.ASE beats e.SBK clean on wake up, if you space it properly.

I didn’t see this mentioned, but if Mika attempts her V-Skill anywhere on screen Vega can VT on reaction for free. She cannot exit her animation in time to stop you with the only exception being if she simply tapped it once and you didn’t notice fast enough (in which case Vega gets hit by the mic on the way over).
Air VT beats it no matter what, though.

In short, if Mika wants to get cheeky and V-Skill you across the screen, the minute you see that mic in her hand she’s fucked.

Too many trolls.

It was my bad anyway for not realizing how accurate the new training mode dummy can bet setup. I didn’t know about the “on recovery” actions, so that the dummy isn’t just recorded doing a shoryuken and during playback would just come out at random intervals. I tried this earlier in training though and was able to reversal it every time with jab shoryuken.

No idea about when the invincibility frames begin, but the jab shoryuken is the only one with a three frame startup. The other two are four.

Doesn’t matter how fast it is. Both Ryu and Ken in the last beta were able to be frame trapped using no claw c.MP, reversal l.SRK was beat out by c.LP. Easy to test using the dummy on block options.

jab dp is terrible anti air, only lower body invincibility and not much only 3 frames

Google docs rarely get vandalized in my experience. Anyway, I made one: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VPVm2KYYb-rUafE4gxC1nOIP5HTo6UFBqtewP3WtJhc/edit?usp=sharing

I feel it’s going to be easier to go back and alter or add stuff this way.

the annotations for bison made me lol.

Yeah I figured it out, you guys can have that one for free.

Seriously though, I’m not competent enough to add anything substantial. But even us scrubs can help bring all the info together and make it readable.

Hey guys, I already saw it mentioned here for Mika’s charge dropkick, but Vega’s V-Skill also works as a hard counter for Gief’s charge HP; in fact it will hit him from almost full screen or some dumb shit. Just press it as soon as you see the animation and you nail him for free.

On top of that, in case anyone new doesn’t know, his V-Skill can cancel into V-Trigger for a free CA opening. So it’s kind of ridiculous when you put it all together like that.

Needed Imo, once the big fucker get in, you’re fucked.

I found cr mk to be a my go to oki button bh. It links to cr mp and its plus on block so you can do legit frame traps after. That being said, i have a hard time switching mind sets between claw and bh. I mess up my punishes and combos way too often. Gonna need to keep grinding

ASE HP Option Select vs Nash Pressure

QCB and hold B, then press HP

If like me you have slow reactions :smiley:

As cr LP will hit Counter on the slide, cr LP cr MP comboes claw on/off and then you can either VT or roll or… ; but it won’t connect if they do nothing, so it’s better to go for cr LP x 2 I think

EDIT : Works again LP, MP & HP versions of this move, haven’t tried EX

Really need help with Laura. I feel that players who are objectively worse than me are mashing their way to victory.

They only do the cross up qcf mp combo again and again. Im finding it hard to punish. Pls help

Cammy is tough since she can make your anti airs whiff

I fucked up my combos and jabbed at the last round which gave Poongko the match.

Man you got robbed so hard. Good stuff though. I think I saw you using st lk to counter her pressure. Don’t you hate accidental wall dives?

That one accidental wall dive got me out of shit, the second gave him a free combo lol.
