Nope, its still sucky as a close AA, but its ok to beat far jump ins.

Rugal did a pretty good quick tip on landing it successfully, it takes a little practice to get used to, but you’ll get it fine in time if you follow what he’s saying.
The only thing i can tell you is Fake Out… Fake em out alot play mind games thats good for Vega
I got one more question… Does anybody else think that they made Vegas poke alot better does anybody and if so do you think it can beat out Rogs. LP???
What poke? And what distance?
yeah i already watched it and helped me a lot, the problem is with focus attack >_<
Focus Attacks change characters’ hitboxes, usually making it harder to land Izuna. Guys like Honda become really hard to grab during a focus. There’s no real trick to doing it well aside from going into training mode and learning exactly how to grab each character during their respective focus.
If your walldives are getting FA’d you should try EX walldive and do the 2 hit claw strike right above their head to punish the focus. They’ll stop focusing if you do that a few times. A better option is to probably stop relying on walldives so much. They shouldn’t be a big part of your offense , at least not random fullscreen ones.
the reason why it’s still an iffy AA at best
compared to something like this
sim’s back hk

or

I just started playing Vega…Like, today. I need a ton of help in a ton of ways.
For starters, what are some of his best pokes besides cr.MP?
Far standing lk is a great poke. It’s +5 on hit so you can link into c.lp, c.mp afterwards. far st. mk is still your farthest reaching normal as far as I know. c.mk also links into c.lp, c.mp. An occasional c.hk from max range might catch guys off guard. It’s huge FA bait though and players will fish for it and and df. hk if you throw them out predicably.

if you know they are focusing all your wall dives, why use the meter on FBA ? ii would just use the meter to EX SHC…or am i just being dumb ? EX SHC almost ensures a hit. if they focus, EX SHC breaks its, if they forward / backdash, they still get hit…works for me…like i said, id rather us the meter and make sure i get the hit than have some random shit happen and them not getting hit, and punishing me…or am i wrong in doing this for some reason ? im still not 100% with vega tactics. ive got him down pretty solid, but not amazing. is there a reason you should EX walldive instead of EX SHC ?
EX Walldive is primarily used in combos, although it can punish backdash happy players if timed correctly.
That might be an option on some players that focus the second you leave the ground, but most people will wait until you are in the air (confirming the FBA vs SHC) before they try to focus it. Yeah EX SHC is a good focus break, but you basically have to see that they are focusing before you use the move, otherwise they could just block.
I like how once you get past sims arms and legs you either eat a knee or he teleports or fuckers like guile who already have reversals also have unbelievable normal AA’s. While vega gets jack squat, seriously none of his aa normals even compare to the other characters who have real aa reversals and aa normals. Argh if only he had bison’s s.rh…why the fuck not??
A new Vega user here, I just need advice on how to execute a combo: Cosmic Heel to Scarlet Terror/even Ultra 2?
We need to DF+HK to do Cosmic Heel, but i do not have enough charge to follow up with Scarlet Terror… Any tips will be appreciated.
DB immediately after the CH input. All there is to it really. I sort of cover it in my sig link, but eh… It’s just some weird timing at first. Ch to U2 is strict on the timing.
For some reason I can’t do cr:lp:cr:lp:cr:lp:cr:lp:>EX FB> Izuna on challenge mode
any advice, besides practice. I use a SE(has not been moded yet) fight stick
am i going crazy or can Vega’s Ultra 1 really crossup a person crouching about 2/3’s across the screen?
I was Guy waiting on a screwup and a vega did the ultra randomly. and it looked like i blocked but it went a tiny bit over me and i ate it hard. it fricken crossed me up i swear. Is this pretty much common knowledge?
No, it’s not common knowledge and that does happen once in a while. It actually happened to me accidentally the other day and I have it recorded because I planned on doing some testing with it. But, I’m too lazy to test it out. I might post the vid if anyone else is interested and wants to play around with it. It’s useful if done right, but pretty risky since it’s still a “random ultra.”
Yeah the timing on crossup-BHC is really tight, and it’s extremely difficult to judge when it’s right to try it. It’s generally not worth attempting, as the chances are you’re going to miss, lose your Ultra and get heavily punished.
Of course there’s also the question of why you’re using U1 in the first place but that’s another discussion entirely.
