SvC Chaos: SNK Vs Capcom/Vega

Introduction

This is Vega(aka Balrog, but let's call him "Claw"), the fast guy with the claw in Capcom's side. He is good in the SF series, but here, he isn't that good. If you want to continue, okay, good luck too. Now for his Good and Bad Things.

Claw's Good and Bad Things

Good Things:

• Has one of the best walking speeds of the game;
• Can travel in the screen with ease;
• Can do wall jumps;
• Can grab the opponent in the air;
• Has nice pokes;
• He can't lose his mask or claw(Thank you, SNK);
• He is good with mixups;
• Has nice anti-airs;

Bad Things:

• Hard to master;
• Bad Exceed(Yeah, it is bad);
• Can't cancel normals into Command Normals;
• Can't Super cancel normals too;
• He can't combo that rolling move into one of his pokes(Sadly, because it makes that move a safe move);
• cr.LP is slow and can't combo in itself(Dunno why);
• His wall leaps are slow and can be predictable with ease.

Moves List

Normal Moves

Vega's Normal Moves are nice to use in battle, and if you used him in the early SF games, you will know some of them.

s.LP - The Far and the Close versions are the same(And Claw was needing a far s.LP in this game). A fast attack with his claw. Good as a starter for light attack combos, can be canceled, but it whiffs against low crouching chars.
s.LK - (Far) Nice cancelable poke. It's fast, its reach is nice, and it's 100% safe if blocked. (Close) A fast attack with Claw's knee. It hits low crouching chars, can be comboed after a s.LP, and you can cancel it. It's good for tick throws too.
s.HP - (Far) A poke. It isn't fast as the far s.LK, and cannot be canceled, but its reach is better. Use if you need. (Close) His most damaging cancelable move, but it's slow and whiffs on low crouching chars, so use this only on punish situations.
s.HK - The Far and the Close versions are the same. A great anti-air. The range is nice, the priority is nice, and the damage is simple. Use it only as an anti-air.

j.LP - The Diagonal and the Neutral versions are the same. A good air-to-air, and only that.
j.LK - (Diagonal) A fast jump-in. Good to use on combos. The kick stays for the entire arc of the jump. (Neutral) Can be used as an air-to-air, but the j.LP is better.
j.HP - The Diagonal and the Neutral versions are the same. A slow, but good jump-in for combos. The reach is not that great, compared to the move below. It can even crossup the opponent, but it's hard.
j.HK - The Diagonal and the Neutral versions are the same. Claw's best jump-in in my opinion. It's faster, has more reach, but can't crossup compared to the j.HP, now just choose which jump-in you'll use.

cr.LP - I remember this poke in the early SF games... It could combo in itself, it was extremely fast, and was a followup to his rolling move. Here, this move isn't like that, sadly. Don't worry, you still can combo after the s.LP, and cancel it.
cr.LK - A low poke. It's cancelable, fast, and can be comboed after the s.LP.
cr.HP - Nice reach and angle. It's slow, but this move is good as an anti-air, and only that.
cr.HK - This move has the same animation as the cr.LK, but a little slower. It cannot be canceled and doesn't knocks down(Strangely enough) but you can link another cr.HK after a meaty cr.HK.

Command Moves

Well... What can I say? You cannot cancel normal moves into those so... If you want to use them, use in mixup games.

Peace of Mercury

• f+LK - An overhead kick. It's slow, so you cannot combo after this. It's unsafe if blocked too, watch out when you use.

Cosmic Smarts

• f+HK - This move has a nice reach, can be used as an anti-air, but whiffs on low crouching chars and Claw can't combo after it, so watch out in this move too.

Round Slider

• df+HK - This is Claw's cr.HK from the Capcom games. Can be used as a low poke too. It can't combo too. Unsafe if blocked.

Special Moves

Rolling Crystal Flash

• Charge b, f+P - Claw's classic rolling move. LP version is better if you're doing poke games, and the HP version is for combos(It's nice to cancel the last hit of this version in MAXIMUM Mode) and cheap finishers. Unsafe if blocked too.

Scarlet Terror

• Charge db, f+K - One of Claw's best moves. Can be used as an anti-air too, it knocks down if hits and safe on block. Oh, and while Claw is doing this move, you'll have time to charge, leading to some interesting setups. You can charge this move by holding backwards too, and when you finished charging, press db, f+K and the move will come out.

Sky High Claw

• Charge d, u+P - This is used to travel around the screen and to punish projectiles. LP version can be used as an anti-air, and the HP version can be used to punish projectiles, because Claw will fly lower than the LP version. This move is really fast, so use when you need.

Wall Leap

• Charge d, u+K - Claw's classic(It was good in the early SF games) Wall Leap. You can use this to some hit & run strategies, and to get away from the corner too. You can control(With f/b) where Claw will land, and it's important to know exactly where he will land. He will do a simple backdash after he lands, remember that.
  • Follow-Ups:
    • Flying Barcelona Attack
      • Press P slightly near opponent - This is an important move to Claw's hit & run strategies in this game(In every game, I mean). Well, in this move, Claw will open his arms, and either one can hit, so after a wall leap, try to move behind your opponent and press a punch for a crossup attack. The damage is great too, and it's safe if blocked(Remember that simple backdash?). If you want, after the Wall Leap, control Claw with db/df, to charge while you're moving.
    • Izuna Drop
      • P near the opponent - A grab with no range. Don't think about using this, because it's unsafe if you miss the timing. It's hard to do too, so use the FBA(The follow-up above) instead.

Backslash

• LP+HP - Interesting move that you should master. Claw will do two backflips, and he is invincible while doing them. Good to hit & run(You can cancel Normal Moves into this move too), good to escape from fireballs(Watch out for the timing), good to escape from GCFs, and good to do safe moves in MAXIMUM Mode(Yeah, just press AC while doing a ground move in MAXIMUM Mode).

Short Backslash

• LK+HK - You'll need this too. It has the same properties as the move above, but Claw will do only one backflip. Good to use to do a quick escape against those reversals.
