Super Street Fighter IV AE/Vega

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

Speed and range. These two assets are a deadly combination, and both are exactly what Vega is. Vega specializes in playing patiently while using his mobility and excellent pokes to scare and enrage the opponent into making fatal mistakes, then punishing them for their insolence. His assortment of high-flying, off-the-wall moves can confuse even the most skilled players. Vega's main weakness is that because of his excellent speed, his defense suffers the most. Once his claw is knocked off, that range he has gets thrown out the window, and once his mask is knocked off he can get dizzied with fewer hits. In addition, his only non-meter consuming anti-air option, the Scarlet Terror, is not that good at doing its intended job.
