Uh, nope, I was wrong :[ It's Oct. 23.
No refund on Green Man Gaming, but I bought it with a 20% discount using this code: 20PERC-HARVST-SAVING
Capcom's PC ports have been superb for years now, so I didn't mind not being able to refund.

I like vega. Some amazing damage of v trigger. Poke game suffers with no claw though 
and claw comes off in like 2 hits.

What are some combos for Mika? I'm really liking her. Gotta give my wife some Nyquil so she can fall asleep and I can play lol
Being able to combo after wall dive punch is preeeetttty nice.
440 damage for meaty st.hp>mp aurora claw>critical. It's going to wreck wake-up jabbers.
Depends on your gameplan and range, I'd say.
His pokes are definitely better with the claw. f.hp is a half-screen poke and st.hp is his only real anti-air.
I can see switching from claw to no-claw on knockdown and pressuring for more damage, but utilizing the claw in all neutral situations.

Had two matches. One against a Vega while I was Vega, and all we did was mash until he won. It was still fun, and I can see people abusing jab into roll until they learn how to use the block button, lol.
After that match, I moved over to Mika, and she is amazing! Hits hard if you play smart, her F+MK beats a lot of normals as far as I can tell, and her HK held can guard crush. Getting in for throws real quick requires some work, but it's not too rough.
I can see some insane combos coming off her v-trigger. Her v-skill can fuck up someone's flow of battle really quick by interrupting their movement. Little things like that make me love this game.
They added the CPU. It's honestly leagues better than 4's button reading shit. It's not going to teach you how to play the game properly, but it's a stepup from the other games so far. Seemed far more adaptable.
Graphics look cleaner too.
My second match was against a Mika, but it was laggy as hell. So of course, I took advantage. Won that one easily, but it would have been far more enjoyable if it was actually stable, since we both were going for easy setups and trying to poke our way through.

I'm liking r.mika didn't think I would. the fact that she can combo into her super really adds to her damage.

Switching Claw. So damn annoying. I'll do this on fireball instinct after a Crimson Terror. Bleh. The other nice this with being clawless is you can combo with MP so your reach is further out to combo into Crimson Terror.
Edit: Oh yeah, s.HP with claw on works with Crimson Terror. His command grab though. I don't think I like it much. Are we not suppose to do any sort of say cr.MP into his command grab or is that not how it works?

Managed to get a single match in, but now I'm getting constant errors and disconnects.
Pretty much jump in Heavy with LK > MP target combo to forward HP to EX Shooting Peach, variations of that with forward MP ring throws and dash up tricky 50/50 mix up grabs. I just got my first win with her against Vega. It was awesome.

This game feels so good. It doesn't have that clunky feel SF4 has (I still liked it a ton).
Thanks!
Thanks!
Alienware Alpha i7. No idea how it'll run
I can't imagine it'll be too demanding, but who knows.https://youtu.be/-9eSencclz8
Vega starts at 1:13:00 mark.
Some combos are technically impossible like comboing from an EX Dive to V Trigger to Critical Art but it is interesting.

As in "Heathcliff"
Apparently I just fought against someone online. I didn't know that online is alive.

i'm quite sure the only way your claw gets taken off is by his own special, only the mask can get knocked off now?

I knocked off both in training mode.
Also important: He can't get them back. They fade away.

most of them probably would still work, except the last one where he uses super after EXs

Messed around with Vega before getting kicked. I didn't think I'd ever say this in this lifetime, but... he's pretty damn fun.
Nope, quarter circle forward + punch gets rid of your claw. This is annoying.
Good find.

i am sure you can lose the claw and it disappears. So for the rest of the match you are on clawless stance.
Titles are 200 FM. I won a game (both rounds) and I'm at a balance of 50 FM. I don't see the option of buying the Japan stage yet? Does that have to be unlocked?
Replay player is buttery smooth, watching whoever is #1 on the leaderboard go to town. Japanese player from the looks of things.

nope gone forever. I feel like Vega is a pretty high skill ceiling character. You really have to master stance switching to take full advantage of him. Once his claw is gone his gameplay is very different. Gone are the good pokes.
