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.
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.
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.
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
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
