Vega
As Shadaloo's #1 assassin, Vega relishes in taking out Shadaloo's enemies one by one with his signature claws. Equally ruthless as he is vain, Vega obsesses over things that he considers beautiful. His passion for beauty, particularly his own, causes him only to desire to kill those he deems ugly all the more. And thanks to his high standards, there is almost no one that he does not consider hideous in appearance. And thanks to his effectiveness at what he does best, M. Bison trusts no one more than Vega to accomplish the most difficult assignments.
In a nutshell
With the best combination of speed and range, Vega will pick you apart slowly but surely. Though the damage rarely comes in chunks, trying to defeat a defensive Vega or keep out an offensive Vega is never a simple task. Vega definitely is at his most effective preying on the opponent's frustrations and fears, letting opponents defeat themselves trying their best to find a way in against the claws or taking advantage of opponents scared to attack for fear of getting outpoked. Thus, using an effective Vega oftentimes requires an adept reading of your opponent.
