i tested it out and i cant link U1 to a counterhit meaty cMK for the life of me. I spent a whole 5 minutes trying. It’s possible though
they wouldn’t say that the combo would work if the downward juggle part wouldn’t work
that would be a massive troll… the downward part has to work
I’m late to the party, but this is the truth. Yomi baby, Yomi. Of course, it’s better if you can react to a jump-in attack and punish safely. But, such is life with Vega. Even despite his warts, some of you on this board have a SICK Vega. Good work.
BTW - I would trade nearly any proposed buff for a normal AA that was effective. I am convinced after months of seeing Joz and others post (sometimes with a fair amount of salt) that I frames on ST won’t help much. I understand more than ever that’s because Vega is supposed to be on the move - not holding DB. This hit home after I actually learned how to use Vega properly. I frames wouldn’t hurt because any buff helps, but they are not a panacea for Vega. So I’m hoping for ninja hit box changes!
I just watched the lock test streaming for betta…a vega player stepped in two times…he was rushed down so hard he barely even got to play…only thing he managed to do was to test the new SHC and conected on a grounted opponont it came out very fast i totally did’nt see it coming…(althoug it may be because of laggy streaming)…it knocks down…vega recovers very fast…i thought he had enought time to fallow with something…althoug i’m not sure about this…the oponent fell to the grond rather slowly…the way they do this lock test is just wrong…the same characthers keep apearing…the winner definitvly should not stay on a lock test…
Yea I was keeping my eye on the loc test, saw the 2nd fight of his. I wish he could have tried out the CH into U1, SHC looked the same but less ineffective. (?!?)
At least you end up with the knocked oponent very close to you…he could have fallowed with corse hop or something…that guy did’nt seem to know if he was playing to win or to test the changes and he ended up failing at both things…at least he could have throw a naked SCH to see how it behavies on block…did’nt see CH on block either he kept getting reversal-ed…and the cammy player focus-backdash out of one CH…
which is why the buff is useless… it doesnt deal with the fundamental problem SHC has… it’s startup and speed
i would like them to buff FBA so it doesn’t get beaten by everything. And make EX Roll quicker

Damn good buff!
You gotta be trolling!
The dude said he tried it for 30 mins and still couldn’t get it. Don’t know how good his execution is though…
Still, in the video clip it showed it still looked like the BHC whiffed even after Vega got the knee hit at a great angle and (i thought) good timing after the CH. It was against Sim though, maybe the CH > U1 is very character specific. CH > U2 looks like baby steps compared to this.
Cool vid though.
I watched the vid with only one ear and eye, but if I’m not mistaken, they tested this in regular AE. The test is inconclusive and they have to change the properties (whatever, hitbox, startup, jugglestates…) for it to be relevant enough to mention it in the blog and at least has to work on most char somewhat consistently or they just wanna troll us BIG time…
I thought U1 wasn’t going to miss after the knee strike anymore…the hitbox was suposse to become huge after the knee conected making it harder to miss…but here we see vega passing right throu dhalsim and nothing happens…so you can combo only to the knee?..
read. pause. conclude. 
Thanks…that actually makes me feel better…i was pretty mad…
Same here!
I thought they might have been actually showing the changes instead of just discussing them… It sounded like he said he attempted it for a half hour and only got it to connect once.
The beta test was at NSB, don’t know if he was actually there, even if, I highly doubt they let him occupy the station for 30min just to try the BHC change.
Conclusion: He tried in AE training mode to get the first hit to connect and thats why the rest whiffed.
o’ok thanks for clearin’ that up.
Edit: whens the release date?
From 801 strider:
“They aren’t doing anything crazy or game breaking, they are just using Blanka’s tools to their fullest potential. Their isn’t any crazy game-changing tech that Japan is using with any character that we don’t know about (besides Yang probably), they just know how to exploit their characters strenghts to their fullest, while covering their weaknesses as well.** Also, they don’t bitch about their character, ever. They play that shit out, something we should learn how to do.**”
food for thought.
