One thing is for certain: there is no stopping you. And I for one welcome our new Jojo-loving overlord. I’d like to remind you that as a trusted FGW poster, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil away searching for those who slander your excellent taste in reasonably-priced Italian meals.

I hate the hitstop a lot now.
Also good luck with school Enzo.

I can pretty much confirm they just edit the trailers to make the moves like they have more impact. There's not all that much hitstop in the build I played at Evo.

That’s right, he now has the ability to sheathe his claw during battle in exchange for new moves, such as a command grab, as well as new attack properties, greatly changing the way he approaches each fight. Knowing when to toggle between the two styles will be the key to success, and it also allows for new combo possibilities. Conversely, Vega will no longer be able to pick up his claw once it’s knocked off, so knowing how to fight without the claw is a must! Players who enjoy tricky movement and the technical challenge of switching between claw/no-claw fighting styles will definitely find the beauty in Vega’s play style.

He actually looks pretty cool! But he'll probably be a character I certainly won't play lol.
I guess the leak lists can be disregarded now.

Trailers are cut specifically to promote a product to as large and casual of an audience as possible? Well who would have known that?
Probably everyone who actually spent time with the material that is being promoted.

In surprised they revealed Vega with just a trailer. Why not at a trade show? They were just at China Joy.


Edit: Aldo, if we are getting Vegaz we pretty much confirmed Balrog and Sagat for the initial cast.

So far we've got
SFII: 5 reps (ryu, chun, dic, claw, cammy)
Alpha: 2 reps (nash, birdie)
New: 1

That's nearly half the initial roster. Surprised they announced Vega barely 2 weeks after the Necali reveal. I wonder how they'll keep up PR momentum with that kind of reveal spacing.

Definitely an interesting take on Vega.

- Loss of claw is permanent
- 2 stances
- Command Throw
-New dodge move has a follow up
-Projectile (also air version, they show in the video him canceling a wall dive into V-Trigger, thats huge against projectile characters)

The range on his claw doesn't look that great though.


Fans attending Gamescom this week will be able to experience the character first hand on the show floor at the Sony booth, so be sure to stop by!

vega being in is a good way to determine what the walkspeed is gonna be like in the final product 'cuz that's one of his biggest traits

if it's slower than sf4 then it's time to riot imo

$30 italian thread

I remember a while ago people were posting some crazy op shit from a game featuring Saber from fate/stay night, what's the title?


Also thanks for the threads so far Enzo!

They're making stubbier normals in general I think. Which is kinda sad for me with characters like Vega.

Where are you getting the stances/loss of claw info from?

People have been saying the walkspeed is pretty good outside of Bison or Nash though I think

Ahh, yeah- my bad.

People are claiming characters are reps of their debut game (not counting SF1, haha), but I wonder how much of it will just be putting mostly characters present in SF4 in the game since SF4 was many people's introduction to the series.

Possessing his trademark speed and quickness, Vega now has access to two distinct fighting modes: with claw and without claw.

That’s right, he now has the ability to sheathe his claw during battle in exchange for new moves, such as a command grab, as well as new attack properties, greatly changing the way he approaches each fight. Knowing when to toggle between the two styles will be the key to success, and it also allows for new combo possibilities. Conversely, Vega will no longer be able to pick up his claw once it’s knocked off, so knowing how to fight without the claw is a must!

Thanks Enzo for all the OTs. I hope you know that if you give power to God's Beard, this may end up becoming the JoJo's fighting game weekly.

I can see why. None of the characters are taking inspiration from their SF I rendition.

There is story and other modes left to reveal.

Variety is a spice of life. Not a big fan of Vega but at least he seems a lot more different than the boring Vega of previous games.

Take a look through the SF encyclopedia and you can see so many characters that have a possibility of getting in. I want Hinata in.

^ Those people were probably never going to stick with the game anyway. And I bet they'll still buy it.

V-Skill: Matador Turn
Vega swiftly dodges the opponent’s incoming attack and chooses whether to launch a quick counterattack that knocks them down or not.

Vega's got a counter now too

Today is a great day. That dumb ass megaman lenegds game failed kickstarter, capcom blew out the rumor about Karen and R Mika. Victory.

Wow, Vega's V-Skill is a KOF-style dodge. This char looks like he's gonna be mad annoying but I suspect anti-Vega tech will get found quickly.

V-Trigger looks like a 2nd Super and not an install, which is nice as well.
