Vega Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

is jump back fierce(insta overhead) character specific or just kinda hard to do? this seems like a really nifty tool to have.

it whiffs on most characters, afaik it only works on characters like Sagat,Hawk,Gouken etc

ah that’s why it doesn’t work all the time. bum

jump back RH works on everyone afaik and also comes out 1 frame sooner… same damage

you can do nuetral jump hk for insta hit.

Well it wasnt just that match but i wanted to see your matches against other people as well.
So who did tatsu lose to? And also Arlieth, Kouryuu and thai vega?

I think thai Vega lost to Vangief, other than that idk xD
I’ve been asking around about who took out those 2 as well but so far no luck :confused:

Is there any other way of confirming or setting the ULTRA 2 besides using a cosmic heel?

i lost to sid the squid (honda player from hawaii) and andyocr

need to learn to be more patient and lame it out more :frowning:

i’ll probably be at ncr for the salty runback, gonna try to play super lame and see where it takes me

SWEET!!! you’ll get to meet J. we should all 3 get together and do some team exhibition MM’s repping team Vega :stuck_out_tongue:

ahh lucky bastards! if i wasnt too busy celebrating my B-day this weekend i wouldve been there. Next tourney i guess.

yeah just hit choi up for space. me tatsu and theonly_J are gonna try to take everyone’s money :stuck_out_tongue:

money is awesome!

yeah J is cool with it Tatsu and he’s confirmed… i personally flew his ass up here to make sure he came lol.

ok i just covered the ticket but almost the same thing.

Yeah laming it out against honda is pretty important…but i get impatient fighting against honda too!
I heard you beat Sako last week, any vids of that up?

i actually have a very bad track record vs honda in major tournaments. i think it has to do a lot with the fact that the waiting time in between matches at majors can be very long. and being the fiery hotblooded youth that i am, i tend to just lose it! but honda players feed off human impatience, don’t you think? ;_;

i did manage to beat sako in casuals, and there should be a video up on youtube. but tbh i wouldn’t look into it so much. sako was extremely tired from jetlag and i have no doubt that on a good day he would completely shit on me

Just casuals…? I heard on the stream that you beat him in a tournament or something…i guess i misunderstood.

But yeah my track record against honda isnt all that great either…i usually end up switching to akuma to fight honda in tournaments.

Joz!!!

Ogre you Asshole

What is Vega’s best AA? I use st.HK if they are far, and usually ST close-medium ranges. Is this what I should be doing or is there a better answer. I’m just learning Vega and having trouble defending jump-ins

A correctly timed jump-in on Vega cannot be defeated, you will often have to block and deal with the pressure. Sometimes you can backdash, sometimes you can ultra2, usually you can’t. From farther away, yes st.HK and HK/EX-ST can be effective. Some of your other useful+common options are as follows (only if you have enough space to react):

airgrab
jumpback.HK/MK/MP
neutraljump.HK/HP/MK/LK
forwarddash under, focusattack/dash
cr.mp to duck under certain jump-ins
cr.hp will trade with long-range honda jump-ins, with a split second you can step or dash back to get to the right range [[media=youtube]VEGkRmhJHw8#t=2m52s"]1] [[URL=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAqLllhWPxo#t=2m0s”[/media]]
