Introduction

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. 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.

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 he must not get knocked down, for he has almost no defensive options on wakeup. In addition, when he gets hit or blocks in succession, his claw and mask can fall off, meaning that he could eventually lose his range or take more damage without the respective accessory (fortunately the removal of his mask also increases his own damage output). To work around this, one must find a balance between jumping around the stage and playing footsies in order to use Vega most effectively.
