It’s so wierd. Rolento is my second fav char in SF and I was very happy that he was in this game. But now seeing that EVERYONE is playing him, I don’t have that wish to play as him any more.

Ogre seems intriguing to me now along with Hworang and Lili. I would also love to play as Yoshimitsu, actually he was whom I wanted most after Rolento, but he seems to be the worst char in the game, everyone (really everyone) and also his framedata, and his broken hitboxes say so. I don’t want to suffer what I’ve suffered with Vega in vanilla sf4 again.

Are there any vega combo videos yet? I just want a visual reference for his most useful bnbs.

Maybe I should post something. I’ll think about it tomorrow.

Can vega always link a normal after London an overhead?

If they are crouching norway.

Vega is good in this game, too bad the game seems very much “meh”… also eternal blaze, i use the same team as you do, have some good launcher or tag cancel combo’s?
I dont know about asuka man, i have much trouble getting in there with her and her buttons do not seem that good unless im missing something.

I’m working on a video to show how they can compliment each other. Should be up within the next few days. you can get around 450-500 for one meter with this team, its pretty neat.

and yeah Asuka has issues getting in, her neutral game sucks coz her Normals are pretty wonky =(
she has AA issues too unless you have meter for EX airgrab.

I’m having fun using her but she doesnt seem that good so far, good damage, good options upclose, amazing j.HP, but everything else sucks lol

I have been trying to make a video, but I have not been able to get the sound working and the quality does not look to be any good. I have a dazzle the 3 splitters, the double RCA cable, and the Hdmi cable. I am using studio 12 and PS3.

I have everything hooked to one TV. When I switch to PS3 the sound works although the quality is bad, but on the PC the quality is bad and the sound doesn’t work.

I have switched the video and audio settings on the PS3 to what I believe are the correct settings.

Can anyone help me?

so if there crouching i can London a Norway? :stuck_out_tongue:

I personally don’t understand that mindset. Vega is pretty decent in this game, so if you can team him up with someone who complements him well and is also a really good character, I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t do it. It’s not so much the “Dark side” as the “I like winning” side. Coming off of SF4 Vega, I want every advantage I can get, man!

No, I agree. It sucks ass that I can corner someone and have two bars during a combo, but can’t use them to super because it’ll have been wasted.

It’s easy to combo into full BHC in the corner, you just have to wait until the opponent’s butt is about touch the ground before you activate BHC. If the whole thing was always cinematic, it would be far too good of an anti-air. As it is now you have to wait until the opponent is low (falling not rising) and it should always connect. Canceling a normal into BHC will only work if its not the corner or if they are grounded, so just juggle and let them fall into it after a Scarlet Terror or something. If you can hit with HK.ST you can always juggle BHC no matter what.

Im not classifying the “Dark side” as the “I like winning side” the dark side meaning imo is "over the top strong characters."
Im not bashing people who play with really strong characters, most of the time it’s just their fav character.
I just have bad vibes from the really top characters in this game and don’t want to play with them, im just gonn stick to my fac characters from both games.

If it makes you feel better Raven could have done that to any charachter not just Vega…his st Lp is 3 frames start up and +4 on block so he could kept even Ryu in eternal blockstun…but Saj showcase in that video exactly how you scape from that situation…in the moment he noticed a gap he knew a throw attemp was coming and Scarled Terror-ed Ravens face…by the way i wonder if ST is still throw invincible…the frame data page doesn’t say anything…

he didn’t try to throw him at any spot seeing his inputs

Yeah you´re right…i didn’t actually take a look at those inputs…by the way i checked in the lab a while ago and apparently ST is not throw invincible…don’t really know if this is a big deal cause if you really see a throw coming you can punish pretty well with 4 frame normals…anyway…on an unrelated note…you can combo into air throw now…just swich cancel during launch animation and you have enough time to jump an air grab…i don’t think this is useful or practical in anyway but is fun anyway…don’t know if this was already covered…

So, i’ve crossed up with j.HP a couple times now… Is this old news? Spacing’s kind of tight but it just feels unusual for Vega to cross up with a normal.

yeah you can crossup with j.hp in some cases as you can also with j.lk after izuna dash forward.However it doesn’t crossup on large characters like hugo sagat
ogre and zangief.Also rolento seems to wake up a little later than most of the cast and kazuya a lot later,at least from back knockdowns like izuna.

I take it you have to more or less memorize the Tekken characters overhead combos… This is gonna be a pain.

most of them barely get anything off of either the lows or the overheads, going through their trials should give you an idea on what to look out for.

I love Vega, happy st paddys day!
