Breakdown from Combo:

Vega returns to Street Fighter V with a brand new look and new tricks up his frilly sleeves. Possessing his trademark speed and quickness, Vega now has access to two distinct fighting modes: with claw and without claw.

That’s right, he now has the ability to sheathe his claw during battle in exchange for new moves, such as a command grab, as well as new attack properties, greatly changing the way he approaches each fight. Knowing when to toggle between the two styles will be the key to success, and it also allows for new combo possibilities. Conversely, Vega will no longer be able to pick up his claw once it’s knocked off, so knowing how to fight without the claw is a must! Players who enjoy tricky movement and the technical challenge of switching between claw/no-claw fighting styles will definitely find the beauty in Vega’s play style.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Viiiivaaaaa laaaaas...

 

[sleverfunk]

Out of nowhere.

 

[Floex]

No one saw it coming.

 

[Ray Down]

Any character hints at the end?

 

[delSai]

Vega? Guess all the rumored rosters are wrong then?

 

[StriKeVillain]

Well, that came out of nowhere.

 

[KingBroly]

Am I seeing this wrong, or did Vega use his mask as an attack?

His face also looks like Ken's

 

[Village]

I hate you vega!!
( i'm happy he is in the game )

 

[OSHAN]

Absolutely fantastic.

 

[YoYo Switch]

I thought he was already confirmed in May 😏

 

[Infernostew]

Awesome! All the "leaks" were wrong!

 

[oneida]

paging sixteen-bit

 

[GuardianE]

Is this consistent with any of the leaked lists?

Edit: guess not

 

[Lady Siara]

Is that John Smith?

 

[def sim]

What a nice surprise.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Is that a command grab I see

 

[Mesoian]

Jamie Lee Curtis confirmed for SF5!

 

[GorillaJu]

Wawawawa

looks amazing

 

[Son Of D]

Well damn. Can't say I saw this coming.

As a launch character that is.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I wasn't even expecting Vega to be honest.
Now where is juri. Right now we have 2 females and 6 males revealed so far.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Yep, that's Vega.

Where's Karin...?

 

[pizzacat]

R GARBAGE MIKA DECONFIRMED

Spoiler

pls

 

[PureYeti]

Handsome fighters never lose battles

Any character hints at the end?

Nope

 

[BiggNife]

Looks like his V-Trigger is a forward charge that crosses up and works in midair.

Dope. I'm glad there's a character focused more on trickery and keepaway, since most of the characters introduced so far feel primarily rushdown focused.

 

[Marvel]

That's not Dan.

 

[delSai]

I'll never get good with Vega but i like playing him, so it's cool that he's in the game i guess. His face looks kinda weird, good thing he has his mask
Yeah, that was a pretty cool trailer.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Is this consistent with any of the leaked lists?

If we take all the rumoured characters there is still one slot remaining that could be anyone, so we still don't know

 

[SliceSabre]

Aww but Vega is like the fucking worst character in the series.

 

[oneida]

Now where is juri.

in super street fighter four

Where's Karin...?

in street fighter alpha three

 

[voodoopanda]

Wasn't expecting Vega. Looks like he has a new move where he throws roses at people now?

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Goddamn, he looks cool

 

[LiK]

his face isn't quite as pretty anymore.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Awesome! Any idea how many characters are going to be in the game initially?

 

[Mesoian]

R GARBAGE MIKA DECONFIRMED

Spoiler

pls

 

[nikos]

I was never a fan of this matchup, to be honest, and now he has a projectile. Vega top tier now?

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

Out of fucking nowhere.

No teaser for the next one tho?

 

[DrArchon]

I really wasn't expecting Claw to come back. I figured he was stuck in SF4 for the time being and they'd get to him later as DLC or some such.

Cool I guess. Looks like his V-trigger is a move like Nash's.

 

[JordanKZ]

More SF2 characters means less chance of SF3 and 4 characters. :C

 

[mfaex]

Leaks all wrong, chaos ensues!

Spoiler

Give Juri

 

[delSai]

Awesome! Any idea how many characters are going to be in the game initially?

16 characters, 4 brand new fighters.

 

[Scotia]

I guess it was my fault in thinking Capcom would stop ramming SF2 characters down our throats.

Fuck this.

 

[Leafhopper]

Awesome! Any idea how many characters are going to be in the game initially?

16

 

[Hours Left]

There goes a lot of roster theories out the window.

I'm not a huge fan of the character but he looks alright.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Out of fucking nowhere.

No teaser for the next one tho?

There has been no teasers for This and Necalli.

in super street fighter four

 

[Sou Da]

Makoto when?

 

[Alienous]

I thought they would have given him a shattered mask, or done something with his face.

 

[JayEH]

Wow. No one called this.

 

[Son Of D]

I like the Beauty and the Beast motif with the trailer. Vega vs Necalli I mean.

Awesome! Any idea how many characters are going to be in the game initially?

16 with 4 newcomers. We've seen 9 so far and we know that there are 3 more newcomers.

 

[FrontalMonk]

I've never been a big Claw fan, but holy shit he looked impressive here. Can't wait to try him out, but I'll still have to stick to my main man Playdoh Face Ken.
