"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."

So if the opponent knocks off your claw, you are stick clawless. But if you choose to remove your claw, you can still put it back on?

 

[BiggNife]

I'm actually surprised some people are so mad about this. I think he looks pretty fun.

That's what it sounds like. Pretty sure you can sheathe/unsheathe at will unless it was knocked off.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

come on Capcom, give me Juri already

All I want is ONE of these: Mika, Karin, or Juri. I really hope at least one of them happen in the initial 16.

 

[Wynnebeck]

My fucking main is BACK!!!!!!

Spitting that Narcissism on all you fools!!!!!

^Best character theme everrrrrrrrr

Nah y'all sleeping on my jam, Gigaton Punch.

 

[dark_prinny]

Love him.

 

[KittenMaster]

Rose toss
Dudley deconfirmed

Vega is Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon now.

 

[Boogalogist]

Amazing..there's 2 different stance! Would love more of these stance switching thing. Hope he can switch stance mid combo and continue on.

 

[delSai]

He does look cool, i think its just that most people are tired of the SF2 characters.

 

[TheStig88]

Absolutely meh. Whatever, as long as you give me Juri we cool Capcom.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Because Vega's, Bison's, Charlie's etc. are all costumes a fighter would wear?

Pretty sure Charlie's outfit makes more sense to get into a street fight than Chun Li's decorative ensemble.

 

[vg260]

Well, that was completely unexpected.

 

[stn]

He has the same shitty face as Ken. Please change ASAP.

 

[Ashkeloth]

I'm glad he's in since Vega is the character I first went to due to his uniqueness back when I picked up fighting games with Street Fighter IV back when it released, but like a lot of people, I've learned to hate him over the years. The great range on his pokes, the mixups and god damn it, the shrieks.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Amazing..there's 2 different stance! Would love more of these stance switching thing. Hope he can switch stance mid combo and continue on.

I think they actually show that in the trailer.

 

[airjoca]

2 Stances means no Gen right?

 

[MegamanXZero]

Vega confirmed.
Rose throwing confirmed, therefore Dudley = confirmed!

Spoiler

I wish...

 

[Moaradin]

Wow, out of nowhere. He looks pretty cool.

Guess most of the leaks are dead now lol

 

[Neoxon]

Absolutely meh. Whatever, as long as you give me Juri we cool Capcom.

With this reveal, I'm not sure if we'll get Juri is the Siliconera leak pans out.

I am all for making her Alpha costume the default one

 

[Master Thespian]

Ugh what; thinking about all the interesting characters (old and new) they could have had and we get Claw. Who actually uses Claw seriously; was there even a demand; I can see the uniqueness and potential story connections but what's so fun about his bizarre boring non-ninja like ninja style that would warrant inclusion?

They better put Urien in to make up for this rubbish.

He's been changed as much as Ken, Nash, and Birdie so there's no way to know how "boring" style will be like now. There is literally no pleasing some people other than giving them their own horribly constructed dream rosters.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

So do you guys think he'll retain his charge moves? Will all his moves be charge again?

 

[BumRush]

I am so bad at fighting games a chimp could beat me but I'll buy this for the art and character direction alone.

 

[butman]

I don't get this "reveals" of obvious characters.

Reveal some NEW CHALLENGER!

 

[Endo Punk]

Well.. fuck this game. Im out

 

[Stone Ocean]

Wow, out of nowhere. He looks pretty cool.

Guess most of the leaks are dead now lol

No, they really aren't

We had 8 characters left to reveal and we only had rumoured leaks for 7 of them. Any other rumours have been long dead since Ken showed up

 

[Marceles]

Can't wait to try and do combos with Vega online. In SF4 I'm be lucky to get cr mk, cr mp ex dive, and I can forget about linking cr jabs

 

[GnawtyDog]

Damn out of nowhere. So that list floating around from Siliconera still holding up?

 

[Shadow_Lord]

I don't get this "reveals" of obvious characters.

Reveal some NEW CHALLENGER!

I don't think anyone actually predicted Vega coming back.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I don't get this "reveals" of obvious characters.

Reveal some NEW CHALLENGER!

He has a "new" design, a whole bunch of moves and will play differently. It's not like they're making a Cammy or Ryu trailer

 

[Neoxon]

I don't get this "reveals" of obvious characters.

Reveal some NEW CHALLENGER!

Vega wasn't exactly an obvious reveal.

 

[Skab]

They should bring back his cage stage from SF2, and let him climb it again.

Well.. fuck this game. Im out

Because of one character? Lmao okay.

 

[Reset]

Wow. Each time they reveal a character I get disappointed in how the game looks like. Ken, Cammy, and Vega all look uglier in SFV compared to SFIV.
You'd think everything would look better, but some how all their faces are messed up.

 

[Bob White]

This really is Dimp's Street Fighter 4 part 3. While this game can look so pretty, that water fall stage continues to look like shit on the left side.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Damn out of nowhere. So that list floating around from Siliconera still holding up?

Siliconera stuff is still on the table. Next character reveal will make or break every rumour out there

 

[Shadow_Lord]

My man is here to stay and he looks super fun to play. I'm having a goddamn character crisis and we don't even know all of them yet.

[Xion_Stellar]

Reveal some NEW CHALLENGER!

NOBODY expected Vega to make it to the initial rooster and this was far from obvious.

 

[Scotia]

Well.. fuck this game. Im out

Starting to feel the same way. I'm still holding out hope but this is definitely not a good sign.

 

[MightyKAC]

Well.. fuck this game. Im out

 

[hitsugi]

He has the same shitty face as Ken. Please change ASAP.

I think his face looks better than Ken's...

 

[Star Falcon]

Vega is cool. Not sure if i'd have put him in my top 12 returning characters for launch, but definitely worse choices out there.

What happened to his theme song though? Or is that just generic trailer music in the video?

 

[Rhaknar]

cool trailer but I always hated Vega. oh well

 

[depths20XX]

Well.. fuck this game. Im out

What a strange reason to be out.

"Oh no, one character I don't like is in the game."

I was never big on Vega but he is a unique character and looks like they have made him even more unique with the changes.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

My roster prediction:

Street Fighter 2 series
Ryu
Ken
Chun
Dictator
Claw
Boxer
Cammy
Dalshim

Street Fighter Alpha series
Birdie
Sakura
Nash

Street Fighter 4 series
Juri

4 newcomers

 

[Salsa]

he looks dope as fuck. def the best new design yet

haters to the left

 

[Kouichi]

Oh cool I wasn't expecting Vega. Sweet trailer.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Jesus I hate Vega.

Still holding out hope for Adon and Akuma

 

[Darrenf]

Well this was unexpected. Not a Vega player, but he looks good.

 

[Whompa02]

Wow he looks incredibly fun and new to play too. Cannot friggen wait.

 

[Beach Head]

Always loved vega, glad he's in.
