About Vega

Unique Mechanics

By inputting 236P, Vega will switch stances putting his claw away or vice versa. While in no claw, Vega has access to different punch normals and different special moves losing Aurora Spin edge but gaining a command grab. The properties of his Flying Barcelona Attack also changes; with the claw on it causes a knockdown however without it it leaves the opponent standing for a combo. Also if Vega takes enough damage while his claw is out, he will lose his claw and be in no claw stance for the rest of the round. He can also lose his mask shortly after that. Note that this does not have to be direct HP damage; blocking attacks with it out causes a small amount of damage to the claw and mask as well.

SFV Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for.
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel, refer to description for options. "sp": Special move. "su": Critical art. "vs[1/2]": V-Skill 1 or 2. "vt[1/2]": V-Trigger 1 or 2 activation.
Confirm windows	Hit confirm windows written as Specials & CAs/Target Combos/V-Trigger. Notation may denote V-Skill only cancel windows in Specials. Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel into another move from the moment the attack connects with the opponent.
Crush Counter	Crush Counter hit advantage written as opponent state, frame advantage, and v-gauge gain on hit.
Damage	Attack damage on hit. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit. Note that generally, normal counter hits add an additional +2 to hit advantage in SFV.
Knockdown	Knockdown advantage against Normal, Quick Rise and Back Rise wake up options.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.

Cancel options: - Canceling into claw switch makes the overall frames a few frames faster and moves Vega's body forward, partially negating pushback The stance change will occur at frame 13 Being hit from frames 1-12 will cancel the stance change Switching with a broken claw results in a 1 frame penalty for canceled attacks on both hit and block, except barehand crouching HP (no penalty) Canceling an attack that hit meaty on later frames will not confer additional advantage during switch
