Sweet. I’ll keep that in the ol’ memory bank.
Can’t tell how many times a scrub Shoto fires his ultra at me, and then I ex shc through it.
Air grab! You could also time your backflips and then df-RH them.
Jump + D/F RH xxx is more effective… but whatever floats your boat.
It IS quite satisfying to EX-SHC through that fireball though.
Anybody got any tips on dealing with good Cammy players? She’s been giving me a headache lately. I can’t see to punish her Spiral Arrows with anything, she’s just too quick.
Sixcolt put a good write-up into the Are You Getting Better thread here. It outlines Cammy’s options.
One thing I’d add to what he said is that lag is Cammy’s best friend. SA can be hard to punish in a laggy match, because the punish window doesn’t actually match the animation. Spiral Arrow can be c.MP xx Whatevered, but you need to input that immediately after blocking the one or two hits (depending on strength). During this time, she’s still shooting forwards, but it only looks like the Arrow is still active. If you wait until she’s getting back up from the Spiral Arrow into her crouch animation, whatever you stick out is going to get Cannon Spiked.
Okay, guys. I got an answer to a question asked long time ago.
Why isn’t Piece of Shit an overhead? I now have proof that it is a bug. Try playing Vega mirror against CPU (Do it on hardest). You have to somehow bait him into rushing you in the corner.
Do you know what he does (and what fails) if you’re charging db? He DOES THE FREAKING OVERHEAD which isn’t an overhead.
I thought it was hilarious.
Well, let’s hope they’ll fix it with the patch that’s coming.
Thanks for the info. Just saw the write up as well. Should help me in the future.
I have faith that this will be something they fix in the patch. I really do feel as if it was supposed to be an overhead, they just forgot to give it overhead properties or something. Regardless, once the update comes out you have to assume they’ll do something to help out Vega, he needs all the help he can get really.
Okay this is getting to be a bit frustrating. I thought I found out how to consistantly do the Barcelona’s off either the left or right wall by pointing the stick into the UB or UF direction. But that doesn’t seem the work 100% off the time. And I know I’m doing it right 'cos that’s what the inputs seem to tell me in training mode.
Hold the direction you want to go until you see Vega heading where you want, then you can let go.
Hold down, then hold UF/UB and hit a kick. It’s wierd.
Chances are you may not be charging enough. There’s times where I’ll accidently do just a jump back kick since I didn’t have enough charge, when I really wanted to do a wall dive, so that could be your issue. Practice it in training a bit, give yourself lots of time to charge to make sure you have enough. You get the hang of it after awhile.
**A Blanka can’t beat your Vega? Word?
While you’re debating picking up Vega, tell that dude to find another character too. His Blanka is busted like Mickey Rourke’s face.**
That seemed to do the trick. It also explains why it sometimes did hit the wall I wanted it to. No I can finally start getting a bit more serious with Vega.
Nah, that wasn’t the problem. Just hit DB after doing the Cosmic Heel (?). I just never jumped off the wall I wanted to the half of the time.
Hey guys,
There’s a big event in Pasadena, CA tomorrow called BAR FIGHTS. It’s being hosted by none other than Mr. SF4 himself, Ryan “gootecks” Gutierrez. It’s basically an exhibition event, rather than a tourney, where some of the dopest talents in SF4 battle it out.
Take a look for yourselves!

I’ll be in the line-up tomorrow, so you can expect a good show from me playing against one of the best Bisons, if not the best, on the west coast.
^^Good luck man.
sweet, Bebop. Good luck. Let us know your results in the tournament thread~
Hope there are plenty of vids taken.
-edit-
I haven’t been keeping up with AI lately, I didn’t know Sanchez switched to Bison.
Awesome man, good luck. As the post above me said, let us know how it goes.
Aww i’m gunna be at work for that… Terrible, considering i live 5 minutes away from Jake’s lol
So, Vega fun fact of the day: Rolling Crystal Flash beats out Tiger Genocide.
Figured it would be the other way around, but I went for it while Sagat was waking up, he did the Super and the RCF beat it out. Not that I’d recommend seriously using it as a counter or anything, but just something to note.
Anyone know what the symbol on Vega’s mask represents?
It looks like the number 7.
