Vega Reveal for Street Fighter V

     During Comic Con 2015, CAPCOM's booth had a demo of Street Fighter V.  They also had a tournament happening on a big screen.  Below  is one of the tournament matches I witnessed.  Check it out:


     Today CAPCOM has revealed a new character: Vega. Vega is now included in the collection of characters that are coming out next year.  Lets keep in mind that V is the roman numeral, "five" and not "Vega". He will be wearing a shirt and will keep the mask but will have two distinct styles: one with and and one without claws.   Check out the reveal:



     His air combo is very similar to Spiderman's air combo from Ultimate MARVEL vs CAPCOM 3.   He's very quick so expect his opponent to be finished under a minute.  I do see a lot of constant hits from back and forth of his opponent. But knowing the aerial moves and keeping the opponent in the air makes him close to unstoppable.  If you are using him, I suggest to use "V-Gauge" wisely.   Below are couple of special moves that CAPCOM mentioned about Vega:

V-Skill: Matador turn:  Dodge the opponent's attack by turning around against the hit and a quick strike with his claws that can knock out the opponent.

V-Trigger: Bloody kiss:  Vega throws a rose to the opponent.  If it hits,  a series of claw attacks behind it will slice the opponent to pieces. 

     If you would like to try him out he will be available at Gamescom in Germany on August 4 and 5.  
     So how would you use or counter Vega's new moves?

  1. Hey, any update on any other characters being released? I'm hoping they revamp Sagat, M.Bison, and Balrog too.
