Street Fighter V: Vega Reveal Trailer

Too conservative design. They could have changed and freshen up like they did with Ken's design.

They gave him a shirt, a shirt, dude. There is only one thing more painful for Vega than having his face scarred: not being able to show his manly chest and tattoo.
 
Not liking this pick. Vega was never that popular of a character that he would forgo the other world warriors. I'd have put in Sagat or Balrog over him.

That's kind of why they're changing up his gameplay. Kind of like how comic book characters are shit until a great writer comes along and makes them worth existing.
 
SFIV made Vega ugly (along with loads of other characters) and I see SFV is stepping up on the ugliness like they did with Ken.

Now it looks like everyone's so-called leak list is bs, and there has only ever been one true Capcom leaker, with others just trying to get attention.
 
I probably won't touch this character if I ever get the game since I suck at charge characters but watching pro Vega players is always fun.
 
I don't think Vega's face looks bad, but I think the issue people have is that Ken and Vega both seem to have the Haley Joel Osment thing going on where his facial features stayed in the exact same position from childhood but the rest of his face expanded outward.

I still don't understand why people keep spouting this. How does Vega nulify Siliconera's rumours again?
 
I guess Vega's lack of support from both casual and pro players in SFIV wasn't enough to have Capcom let him die. What a shame.

At least this means Q and Necro are possibilities now.
 
That came out of fucking nowhere. I was about to donate blood when I read the news on Facebook lol. Couldn't wait for my donation to be over so I could keep reading.
 
He's just another straw on that particular camel's back, though. He himself doesn't really nullify those rumors, but those rumors have been taking body blows ever since they showed up.
No they haven't? When they showed up we had 6 veterans left to reveal, now only the rumoured characters would remain. If they were true we already know the full roster so any reveal moving forward will make or break them but right now nothing has changed

Q would be the hypest shit.

If only they could include his canceled Super where he grabs and pulls you into his coat and...
 
Was hoping for less SF2 characters, but Vega has always been pretty unique and they're doing cool stuff with him so I'll take it.

Just waiting for them to reveal the heavy grappler for the game at this point.
 
Not sure how I feel about this tbh. On one hand, he looks really cool, but on the other hand, I hate fighting him in SF4. I guess I don't really mind the focus on classic SF2 characters returning, but I'm with others when it comes to really wanting at least Urien and Alex back. I'm also kinda bummed that it's starting to look like the game won't take place after SF3.
 
Well this came out of nowhere. While he's not my favorite personally I like that basically no one had this in their "leaks". It has me excited for what the rest of the roster might hold since now it really seems like it could be anyone.
 
I was a Vega main at one time. However I'm not a fan of this new version. I don't like stance characters, it's too much to think about. Also, not a fan of the puffy shirt. He should have remained shirtless and just give him less silly pants.
 
No they haven't?

Didn't Bogard specifically call out those rumors as being bunk with the inclusion of R. Mika? Basically, the idea is that Siliconera is running with that one leaked list, which already has too many characters on it in the first place.

Right now we have:

Ryu
Ken
Chun-Li
Cammy
Bison
Nash
Necalli
Vega
Birdie

We have Laura, Zen, and Rachid still left to go. Which means in order for Siliconera's rumors to still hold weight, Alex, Urien, R. Mika and Karin are the only players left to be revealed, one of which has been specifically debunked by the same guy who nailed the new mechanism, the name for the new mechanism, and the correct roster number, long before anyone else had any actual information about the game.

This is not true. The things Ken Bogard leaked were the only things he actually knew. The R Mika "debunk" was merely his opinion.

iirc, they said that karin, alex, urien, and r.mika are in. All that they said.

Siliconera victim to Capcom's ploy to catch a leaker.
 
Unexpected but a great addition. I love what they've done with him seems to be a lot more options and less stiff. The roster was also in bad need of another charge character.

I guess this shits on all the "leaked" lists?
 
He just said "I don't think Mika is in, I wouldn't believe in any roster with Mika in it" basically

I know, what I'm asking is why would he say that if he didn't think it was rooted in something solid? There's gotta be some fire there in order for that smoke to start billowing. Otherwise he wouldn't have weighed in that confidently.
 
btw, I'm loving the salt in this thread.

The reactions is pretty ridiculous. I have a feeling that green 8 characters meant returning characters from USF4. I guess we might get Zangeif and Juri. For Zangief, he could get in if we don't get grappler newcome on the inital roster.

I think 4 new returning characters are going to be Nash, Birdie, Alex and Urien.
