Vega Q&A: Ask simple questions here!

Don’t waste your time on that. The link is extremely hard and you should be saving your meter for EX RF/Super hitconfirms.

Can someone explain if theres a trick to this(far.lk cr.lp cr.mp ex izuna) combo i feel like when i played ae it wasn’t a problem now that im back seems very hard to get the izuna to come out consistently. im not sure if i have to do it really late in footsie situations or something else is happening

you have 12 frames to late cancel the cr.mp into ex fba. so you can try doing it a bit later

I’m a fairly new street fighter player and I want to learn vega so badly. The only problem I have is how stupid is that one of his most used bnb is a 1frame link. This just discourage me a lot when I use him. Can anyone tell me if it’s hard to be consistent with de c.lp, c.lp, c.lp, c.mp xx into whatever? Because I just can’t. I can handle the other easy ones like, c.mk, c.mp xx or cl.hp, cr.mp but not that one. And I can’t plink it because it’s a lp.

i just do cr.lp to cr.mp. or far.lk, cr.lp, cr.mp to ex fba. or if you realy want to hit that link, plink with the select button

Thanks for the help. I’m doing just cr.lp to cr.mp like you said and I hit it pretty consistently. But sometimes I don’t have the charge prepared just doing cr.lp, cr.mp.
And I can’t hit the select because I’m playing on a stick, and I will need to remap all the buttons just for having select nearby.

It’s worth it. Trust me. It is worth it a thousand times.

For some reason, Zangief keeps giving me a lot of trouble. I try to keep him away with my pokes, but I keep getting blown up. How do I overcome that?

Then you met a decent one for the first time. Esp. the jHP is very bad for Vega if the player knows what he’s doing.

Look for Snake Eyes vs Reiketsu (Evo 2015), Chris King (2014) and Jozhear (faar earlier) on youtube for the right approach. It is not in Vegas favour, this match.

I ran into a bunch of decent ones, actually. I try to get them away from me, but I kept getting piledrived and all that. To be honest, grapplers in general scare me.

what i didn’t like about reiketsu’s play on snake eyes is that he uses jump mp as anti air. i’ve always used neutral or jump back hk to knock him out. if you can’t poke because of his st.mp, try your cr.mk. that usually beats it.

Is there a way to control which way Vega throws his mask with EX remove? It seems random, but also gets stuck going one way or another for a long time before switching

it goes toward the middle of the stage. no way to control it
