When do you guys use SHC/Ex-SHC? I.'ve had trouble knowing when to use it properly.
I like blocked j.HP, c.LP, throw. 3K Backflip into throw/c.MP depending on whether they move with me or stay put. Corpse-hop throws can be useful too, particularly when set up by corpse-hop pokes/combos earlier.
I also do missed ST into throw, and also as sort of a desperation effort to make up for how unreliable ST is. It’s true, nobody ever sees it coming (probably because they’re salivating at the thought of punishing your whiff).
Ed:
EX SHC is for going through fireballs. I also use EX far-wall SHC for an okizeme crossup (mostly), or sometimes just out of the blue (but mostly only against characters who don’t have a fireball, because I find if they do I constantly eat a random shot before I hit the back wall). The regular SHC would probably work just fine for the cross-up, but I tend not to use it. The yellow flash often sells the opponent on an EX Walldive (which I tend to throw out as a poke now and again if I feel the opponent’s gonna try to advance), and they get blocky more easily.
I don’t use the regular SHC much. I throw it out now and again if I’ve been going off the wall a lot, just to keep them on their toes. A jab SHC may punish people who jump-back attack to stuff walldives, but I never really remember to do it, so I’m not sure.
I posted this in another thread but I didn’t receive a response. I’m wondering if anyone has tried using EX walldive as a crossup after knockdowns? I was testing it out with throws and close range c. HKs. I don’t know if I tested it correctly, I had Vega as 2p and recorded a throw/c. HK and then a timed EX walldive. Then I played back the recording and I had to block in the opposite direction. On whiffed reversals, it looks like Vega might enough time for an Izuna drop. Would this be a/the correct way to test out crossups in general?
It seems to work both at midscreen and near walls. I only tested it with Sagat though. It hits him crouching near the wall, not sure about midscreen and I’m sure it would whiff on the characters with the smaller hitboxes.
lol
like rizhall said c.lp works wonders. aswell as jump in -> c.lp,c.lk
Question: Wtf do you do about Blanka’s Rainbow roll or whatever. Backflip? Or which direction do you block?
You have to block it backwards IF he’s going to cross you up. Also, you have to be standing, you can’t crouch block that shit.
That works amazingly well in high level play because it’s so stupid that no one expects it. It’s like c.MK c.MP xx reset the machine, there’s no way you can devise a gameplan to counter it.
hi, i’m a new poster and just starting out vega.
was just wondering how people do crouch MP to EX barcelona consistently? because when i charge db instead of d or df sometimes a flip kick will come out (since i end with uf to barcelona towards the opponent). should i switch to d instead of db? but then i’d lose my back charge and i like having the db stored for a flip kick if needed. which would be the optimal way of executing the combo? thanks very much 
FA that shit
rainbow balls dont break armor
edit: people need to use his kara grab. Range is nice so you can have a better block string into grab.
c.lk c.lk karagrab c.mk c.lp kara grab
an asshole is going for block string grab interrupt his ass with kara grab
LOL god, I remember that fight…
Hey guys.
I was thinking on how to the Vega’s FADC to Ultra easier and i wonder if this could work.
(charge)DB+FA,F,360.
I mean would the 360 do the all the motions needed for vega ultra +the extra F, for the dash?
Wait you input all of that during the focus frames and then he would do the ultra after the dash? That would be great if it works. I can hit the ultra without the dash cancel…but have trouble cause I tend to rush the ultra motion if I’m doing the dash cancel.
^^i would think so.
Instead of Double taping F to dash then do the ultra motion.Could i do F,360+3K Which the 360"should" do the last part for dash and the ultra motion.
I’ll give it a go and let you know what I find.
thanks man.
Hey guys. new to the vega boards, hows it going.
I’ve been wondering how to do the double flying barcelona attack. I’ve only pulled it off like, 3 times out of god knows how many times I’ve used it. the “double” attack I’m referring to can be seen at 2:37 of this video (great match btw)

any pointers? to me it looks like you have to be directly on top of them for it to work, but I usually am, so I’m not sure. help would be appreciated.
Also if anyone is up for some duels, gamertag is TMNTemps.
hmm
to do that just direct yourself right above them and before u hit any punch button do not hit any direction
I’m pretty sure thats just the Ex version.
yea that too
same applies for the super
Always use db to charge.
