Street Fighter Alpha 3/Vega/Introduction

Introduction

Vega makes a return from Street Fighter II and is first introduced here as a Shadaloo assassin with Ninjutsu and nobility in his blood. He was assigned to a hit-squad responsible for apprehending a rogue doll named Cammy. Although he failed, Vega tipped Cammy off that Bison was after her, and later rescued her from a destructing Shadaloo base.

Pros	Cons
Easily the best runaway in the entire game Fastest walk speed in A3 Amazing ground normals, particularly c. MP Fastest jump in the game Amazing air to airs Great air grab due to his fast jump startup Borderline impossible to keep cornered due to wall jump, wall dive and sky high claw Sky high claw recovers almost instantly on landing and travels incredibly fast. Can be used to sail over people from the corner Grab does full damage when teched Great custom combos that can lead into potential infinites A good corner guard crush string on V-ISM Backflip can be used to bail out of bad activates on occasion Can be nearly impossible to catch if he gets a big enough lead and just runs the timer out	Poor anti-air on the ground Actual jump-ins aren't the best Flip kick is airblockable No meterless reversal option, flipkick whiffs on crouchers Lack of BnBs without meter, resulting in low damage Drops his claw very easily, which can be annoying for neutral Certain normals have bigger hurtboxes than it initially appears Struggles to catch-up if he falls behind
