I think it’s correct, i’ve set myself up in training mode to do c.mk to see how far the hitbox extends and it doesnt hit at the tip

sometimes it appears to hit at the tip is most probably because your opponent’s hitbox may be extended…

looking at vega’s hitbox stuff i really try and think wtf is going on with the capcom’s devs thinking
especially when you look at this jab hitbox comparison of a few of the characters

I particularly enjoyed seeing the fba hitbox hahaha…

did you manage to get the hitbox video for scarlet terror?

1962

Figure out their pattern, i’ve been dabbling a little bit with seth the last month or so and i find my biggest weakpoint playing as seth is that i’m always doing the same sequence of things and my friends i regularly play with have figured it out.

and of course learn to block and dont’ get too frustrated. be glad his combos don’t do that much damage, it’s probably really just more annoying that they take so long to finish and a couple of them and you’re stunned… gotta develop the mental resolute to not let that get to you

1963

Na i only looked at the vega info, After seeing how long those vids took I didn’t want to bother trying all the others vids to see if it was in there somewhere. I have a feeling that seeing the ST hitbox will just lead to more anger, especially if i were to compare it to guiles flash kick.

1964

yeah that makes sense.

i don’t think you can use the shoryuken shortcut for vega’s claw removal in this but i could be wrong

1966

No you can’t. It’s the only srk motion move that doesn’t have the dumb shortcuts on it.

1967

Man, I really wish that input could bust out a tornado claw like move… rising claw I’d name it Hear that capcom?

imagine the possibilities lol, rising claw xx sc FTW!! I guess that would b too much to ask though as it would b spamed all over the place : /

1968

Yeah shit is mad gay, lately i have been tyring to fight maskless and end up whiffing the proper inputs to throw the mask off cuz im trying to do the basic srk shortcuts -_-

Ha, or they could just give ST 1 frame of invincibility and let you ex cancel it into an ultra. ORRRR let us just straight up combo into U1 from anything that you can combo into EX FBA :slight_smile:

1969

So…

I was thinking the other day, and this question popped into my head.

Are there any matches that anyone is willing to come out and say Vega has a definite 6-4 advantage over?

His match ups for the most part have gotten better. But Claw was completely without a 6-4 in his favor in vanilla. Is that still the case?

I was wondering if maybe Makoto is 6-4. Claw can poke the shit out of her and run away better than most. Anyone else want to venture to say we have favorable matchups?

1970

Dan and Sak were 6-4 in the last SSF4 tier list, the rest were 4-6’s and 5-5’s.

Idk if its just me but I always thought vs Fuerte is 6-4, if you play the match up right he cant really do anything.

1971

you sure about dan and sakura? i mean dans pressure with danku is ridicoulus, and sakura pressure is so hard to get out of. also fuerte can do so much to you its not funny he can abuse you as much as you abuse him on knockdown. and once you are knocked down, you are forced to block and guess what he did. kkk/ppp flips suck ass

1972

KKK flip can be decent depending on how you use it, PPP flip though is asking for an Ultra2 to the face.

I dont agree with the tier list, especially with Sak as she’s one of my hardest match ups atm but that was whats listed.

1973

Using PPP flip is asking to get killed.

Anyway, a quick question: Did Bloody High Claw get invincibility on start-up? I can’t test it right now, or else I’d find out for myself.

1974

No invincibility on start, and it takes like 7-8f to activate.

1975

I main Vega…And from what im told i have a very dirty Vega… My fav. setup with him is df.Hk C.LP C.MK to a grab…It usely works … but I also will do the combo and right after the grab I will do the DF.Hk to go over them and the will stand after you land and you usly can hit the C.LP into the Heavy ST…
But i have a question now that Vega’s 1st ultra pops them up Can it combo from the C.MP???

1976

Nope, you cant cancel normals into Ultras (aside from Gouki’s Ultra1)

after a corpse hoop you can nj.HK to bait something stupid and combo to Ultra. dont try to do this on characters like Guile coz theyll just Reversal you for free.

1977

hi guys, i really need help learning how to successfully izuna drop the FA spammers, i always get hit in da face :confused: is there a decent way to land it properly?

1978

What are Claw’s anti-airs?

I’ve heard neutral jump HK works well, but I’m wondering if there are other AA options for him.

Is Scarlet Terror a AA special? It just doesn’t seem to have the start-up invincibility (judging from when I perform ST on wake-up, I get beat out by normals) like other AA specials do.
Do you have to use it very early to be an effective AA?

1979

None of the ST versions (including EX) have invincibility. All of Vega’s AA options are situational, but switching between them depending on the situation is possible:

for close jump ins:
nj.HK
air-throw
jump back MP/MK
s.lp (only useful against Gen and Rufus)
lk ST (very unreliable)
Ultra2
Focus

for far jump ins:
s.HK
c.HP
Hk or EX ST
EX FBA
df.HK (very unreliable)
Ultra1

only time your opponent should jump in on you for free in on wake up.

1980

Is it confirmed that c.hp got buffed as an AA?
