  • I just cannot do any move which requires a charge after a comic heel. I guess I'm not charging it long enough but I don't see how there's time.

  • @DJConnelly93 Youre not putting the stick into charge fast enough, it has to be instant.

  • Could someone please be so kind as to direct me to a useful source to learn charge characters?

  • how do u dash back n do ultra

  • Thank you,great video.

    But I need to know how to perform on backwall dive the double hit!!!!

    Please let me know!!!!

  • @GiulioMa when your doing the ex walldive just keep your stick in a neutral position then when he jumps off the wall press right/left (depending on which side your on) once then press punch it should work.

  • @Emiglacius

    Thank you, I`ll try it!

  • 0:57 KKK =)

  • incredible vega/claw tutorial

  • I main Vega, and this helps TREMENDOUSLY in dealing with two of my toughest match-ups, Blanka and Guile. Fantastic stuff man, keep it up.

  • @wwmajin

    hi great vid u got there :)) VEGA is my main and im pretty new to SF 4, just one question, what do u mean by the "xx" in 1:44 thanks in advance

  • @DEATHprismXX It means "Cancel", you have to cancel the normal into the special move

  • Comment removed

  • @Wildarms01

    Thanx! I'm abt to try that out now......

  • I have a question for anyone that can help me out. Ive seen people do the flying barcelona attack but in stead of just landing one hit there be more like 2 or hits.......how is this done?

  • @albrezie

    EX FBA will hit twice if you are right above then when you attack. the hit box for the first hit is about where his head is when he is upside down i believe.

  • Vega's claw switches hands when he switches sides.

  • It is only possible for superman to play like this.... Great practice

  • Great video! My fingers are not fast enough to do all that sequences you did.

  • dude yr video is so awesome

  • freak xD

    aber echt hammer gut hat mir viel gebracht

  • great video, very helpful. thank you!

  • I can beat anybody with Vega except for Gen, anyone have any advice?

  • Hello,

    please explain how can I do the EX fba (with the Izuna drop)

    Thank you!

  • Thanks! Alot for me to learn. Great music as well!

  • Man great video As a vega player myself I 'm happy to see someone getting others along also. Lol but about that super thing it's bad but can be surprising sometimes to opponents and it does a lot of damage too, which is never a bad thing.lol but as you said meter should be spent on EX belladona so many nice ways to combo into it

    A tip is you should let people know they can control which side belladonna and Bloody high claw goes to

  • Man great video As a vega player myself I 'm happy to see someone getting others along also. Lol but about that super thing it's bad but can be surprising sometimes to opponents and it does a lot of damage too, which is never a bad thing.lol but as you said meter should be spent on EX belladona so many nice ways to combo into it

  • i love Vega hes so underrated

  • Very useful thanks.

  • too many jump in combos....good vid still

  • I love Vega. like gaarauchiba said, it depends on how much time you take to learn him. I spent about 40 hours learning to play him, and I haven't got around to learning anyone else (save ibuki, but i need a LOT of work with her), because he's so fun to use. You don't always win, but if you read your opponent well enough and don't get too predictable, Vega is a great character.

  • wow. so many tricks. i'm very much a fellow claw and u were very indepth. even going so far as specific matchups. i salute you. anychance u have another video for ssf4 and other chars u left out. this was perfection in itself. i have sharinganed what i can from your teachings.

  • thanks for the Blonka/Zangif killing advice.

  • Danke für die Musik ab 6:23 is echt hammer!!!

  • how to do the EX FBA?? wad does FBA means? sorry i am training dis char and i am noob

  • Vega is superb but many of his EX moves must be initiated away from the opponent. One early punch at Vega and his ultra is done (and lost from the meter).

  • Vega is my fav! hope i'll get to play ST4

  • Removing your mask increases your damage out put. You also get hurt easier thou. Removing your claw is stupid. Decreases your reach and damage. Maybe they put it in if you go to take off your mask and didn't have enough super bars so it's punishment?? Thts my guess.

  • ive been playing this live for 3 days and still havn't fought a vega....

  • Comment removed

  • I started playing Vega as a joke.

    I got pissed at the Ken spammers and found that it was so god damn easy to bait and punish with this character.

    He is gayer than Dan and I find it funny when people lose to my Vega.

  • wats the second song in this video that starts at 5:10 cause idk what its called

  • vega, the best!!!!!!of SF

  • buena bro

  • Nice video. Btw, can u tell me, how u can do Vega ultra instantly after a back dash? (On keyboard!)

  • @Necreon021 Yeah i really want to know to cause wen i dash back i lose my charge im on a xbox pad btw =)

  • vega...one of the cheapest mother fuckers in street fighter!

  • does losing his claws lose this attack damage?

  • this video is just breath taking! awesome job! WOULD HATE TO COME ACROSS YOU IN A LIVE MATCH ! FUCK THAT LOL

  • Great video!

    I noticed a small mistake you made at 2:53 and 3:29

    you wrote cMK -> cMP

    it should be cMK -> cLP

    (cMP doesn't connect to EX FBA except on large characters like sagat)

  • 1. A more in-depth guide for Vega with some tactics and setups I learned since this guide

    this

  • I never even fathomed trying Vega's ultra after a focus stun. Turns out I can do it and you have a lot of leeway when doing it. My dummy was practically laying on the ground when I did the ultra and it still landed.

  • OMG thank you very much i give this a try im trying out vega 4 his poking game and ultra its how i play chun li but these combos will help 2 by the way whats nerfing i see this on fighting game terms but never have any idea waht they are talking about i no most of them by now

  • what does the "xx" stand for in the moves description?

  • Cancel

  • @Kokatsusa Focus Cancel ?

  • excellent guide and great work. Even noobs - like me - may be able to get better trough this char. Thumbs up

  • Excellent video.

    Thank you, man.

  • Vega has one of the worst supers in the game, and the sad thing is he has two options from it (Izuna Drop or the even harder to connect Claw combo.) Rolling Crystal Flash & Scarlet Terror seem nerfed to me. At least EX Sky High Claw and EX Izuna aren't too bad.

  • Vega in general is nerfed to shit from every other game he's in.

  • Lets hope SUPER street fighter 4 evened things out in terms of fighters. Sure Im willing to deal with his fragile mental narcisstic state in order to have his speed but it should be much more superior than the rest of the cast. Im not the best Vega/claw user but I dont respect any body who refuses to not fight as Ken/Ryu maybe akuma maybe ? Sagat Cammy Chun Li Zangief. 90% of the people that choose those players fight the same way. Adon Dee jay & Vega are my main guys.

  • @Aadonis219 why would you consider chun li with those people?

  • @spikeyguy777

    Spammers love Chun Li ..and every chun li player ..will fight you the same

  • @Aadonis219 why would "spammers" love chun li? only non charge move she has is hazansho and kicks, which arnt bad. chun takes more skill than any of those guys.

  • how do you do his ultra combo

  • you are just amazing... hats off to you... to play as Vega you need lightning fast fingers.

  • Very nice video. Thanks.

  • can u tell me how to do ultra from, focus attack i always miss

  • hi there any vega fans like me out there if you are add me on your ps3 ID is

    elchoro415 yeah i know it sounds weird but i was just mesing around so jejejej ^_^ oh by the way tell me in the message that you read this coment k :P

  • I just did the impossible, 2 perfects for the win in a Vega vs Vega match against a decent player...

  • Sehr geil gemacht! Aller Achtung und Hut ab!!!

  • vega seems a bit slow in this game

  • why this won't let me post my comment

  • good vid man! keep up the good posting! :)

  • how do you do the kara thow?

  • @666melodeath666 Like described in the video, HK ~ LP + LK

  • still dont get it do you press HK first then LP+LK or do you press them all together cuz if i press them all together he does but somtimes he doesnt

  • You have to press HK first, then throw, but so fast, its almost simultaniously

  • any tips of landing j. hp/k, c. mk, c. mp xx ex fba, izuna drop on ryus?

    I can land it on any char but ryus and kens :\

    do they have to be near corners or something?

  • scarlet terror is also good for zangiefs lariats

  • I still having problems making this moves fast

    song name plz?

  • xx= cancel I assume?

    If so, how the fuck did you do the last normal combo: j.hp cl.hp xx RFC? A bit new to charge characters. Didn't think you could cancel into RFC

  • How do i charge moves ? like RIGHT + LEFT(charge 2 seconds) then punch.

    Wtf?

  • Charge right, then go for a quick left + punch.

    Practice it.

    Btw good guide, danke!

  • Just try a few characters you think are interesting and like there movesets. Then learn the combos of that char in training mode, play as many matches and try new tactis.

    SF4 is a really balanced game, vega is low tier, but you can win against everybody, you just have to play a little better and smarter than your opponent.

  • Ya just have to play little better and smarter is easy to say ^^.

    To make the situation clear... iam not playing Vega/Claw, but it is sure, that u have not many chances to get to the best when u play low tier chars.

    Nothing against low tier chars... some of them i love too... for example Fei Long.

    But dont expect to become the best, when u are training hard with low tier chars.

    Dont be mad at me for this but unfortunatly its the truth :(.

    Majin u got a real good Claw ;)

  • @RuLeZ1988

    I'm guessing you haven't seen the latest Claw Pro's vids making him look high/mid Tier.

  • I know, but in a real challenge u will not win with low tier chars.

    With real challenge i dont mean high tier players in a online match. The problem with a online match is, that many people havent even the experience to fight against a claw player. Best expample for this is that many online players have a big issue to fight a blanka player, but in tournaments he is almost useless.

    I wont to say that low tier chars are bad.. I mean Cammy can be crazy if u know how to play her.

  • But Claw is one of those low tier chars which havent really a big chance against real good players :(.

  • @RuLeZ1988

    >_> I'll say it again

    "Then you've must have not seen the recent Tourneys with Claw players owning."

    And don't say

    "in a real challenge u will not win with low tier chars."

    and cammy is not low she's mid and damn where the hell u getting your info Blanka not useless in tourneys.

  • But i say this, it is the truth and i saw very good vega players.

    And tell me a tourney were a Blanka player got almost to the finals ^^.

    Very few people are playing blanka in tourneys cause the chance is to small to win the tourney with blanka.

    Cammy is actually between low and mid tier and only good players can make trouble with her.

  • read this

  • @RuLeZ1988

    "And tell me a tourney were a Blanka player got almost to the final"

    Glady ^_^ here you go and it wasn't almost watch?v=F1Lk6PF52U8

    and there isn't a few >_> go to LordAboriginesSF4 and search blanka

    You really don't know your stuff

    Cammy is not a LOW tier and never been there is no "in between", in tiers your either in this tier or your that.

    Also you said "Only good players can make trouble wih her"

    >_> any good players with anybody can make trouble with anybody!

  • But u see, that the blanka player havent any good chances or did he ? .. i didnt saw any chance. It isnt common that blanka Players get into the Finals. Ya, he was really good, but when u know how to play against blanka, what most of the online players doesnt know, then it is hard for Blanka to win. Almost every first or second Final consist of one Ryu/Ken Player, which isnt a coincidence.

  • He still went to the final did he or not? and why would you have Blanka and cammy as a ex.

    when we was talking specifically about Vega being a low tier in tourneys still being able to win

    Cammy is a console only char. most tourneys are played only with the arcade version.

    Also have you ever thought in yo head that Blanka beaten other Ryu's and Ken''s to get to Daigo in the finals... >_>

    And another thing all of these recent tourneys are like 3v3 there hardly singles

  • Do i have to show you the best Vega/Claw player beating top #2 Sagat Ojisan boy and #2 or #3 Akuma Tokido in a row?

  • Comment removed

  • This how the whole thing went down you said

    "but in a real challenge u will not win with low tier chars."

    Then i proved you wrong telling you that Claw players in tourneys have been winning against high level players with their top tier Chars.

    also Fei long is mid teir,haven't u seen JWong win a prev. tourney with him only?

    and how can you not be against low chars when u said what i put up there?

    and where does this "don't expect to be the best" come from? nobody thinks that >_>

  • I know Justin Wong, but he is a really good player. His first word was "Street Fighter", when he was born ;). I mean he played every single Game of SF.

    Ya i said, dont expect to be the best with low tier chars, because in some ways it looks easier, when good players are showing you how to.

    With "but in a real challenge u will not win with low tier chars" iam in some facts wrong sure, but these facts are limited.

    Its almost rare.

  • "but in a real challenge u will not win with low tier chars"

    Are you still going to hang to that statement, lol that's not even a fact xD

    And i don't like how just trying to make it seem so impossible.

    And you need to learn that it's not the Char. it's the Player that counts

    and all players have the potential to be just as good as the pro Jap and US players there will always be new better low/ med tier char. players.

  • since you don't think you'll be able to win with your Fei-long and so confident in the High tier success rate then i think you should pick a new main then

    Ryu/Ken/Sagat/Rufus which one will it be.

  • Rufus or/and Ryu. Actually Fei Long isnt my Main, but he is one of my Chars i play often.

    But i dont like Ryu so more for Rufus.

  • WTH don't you proof-read of what you're saying

    "Fei Long isnt my Main, but he is one of my Chars i play often."

    "Iam playing Fei Long at myself"

    a character you play often the othrs is your Main >_>

  • He isnt my main. But there are chars i can play better and with which i have more experience than with Fei Long.

    If u want i can tell you my whole story about SF 4 , but this would be unnecessary. So trust me, that Fei Long isnt my Main.

  • @kisame004 dame right dude tier dont mean anything if tht guy wonts 2 be a loser and follow stupid guide lines and only choese a player because they will most likely win a fight let him but when he gets beat by low tier players he wont be mouthing stupidness from his mouth no more. I use vega 2 and tier is nothing i owen online ryus and sagats and there not bad its just iv learned how 2 use him

  • ^_^

  • At the beginning i said , iam not against low tier Chars. Iam playing Fei Long at myself. But it is a fact that your chances are lower with these low tier chars.

    I know that there are really amazing players. But how i said at the beginning, dont expect to be as good as these amazing players with low tier chars and to be little better and smarter is easier to say than to do. To get to the top players with a low tier char is a very very hard way to go.

  • you can search the recent tourneys/casuals with claw for proof.

    Don't say you can't win with Claw in high/med tourneys/casuals.

  • is there a way to do Izuna drop from FBA 100% instead of the slash? where should i be aiming for sure grab

  • Try to do the FBA more from the side and not from above the moment you go for the Izuna.

  • Another Vega guide video would be much appreciated =)

  • Maybe while the X-Mas holidays...

  • I want to learn how to play with vega. Never played with him but nobody really uses him. Props to all loyal vega players

  • Very nice, as a Vega player I'm so happy this exists, showed me some combos I probably wouldn't have thought of for a long time. Danke :)

  • All in all, Vega is decent. He does sacrifice stamina and strength but in return he gets one of the best mix-ups and cross-ups in SF which makes up for it BIG TIME (I manage to beat Shotos without much sweat and Sagat too who dishes out CRAZY damage. I wont lie, it is hard though). It comes down to how FAST/DEDICATED you WANT/ARE to learn SF. If you don't mind spending A LOT of time with Vega than go for it, but if you want to use someone more beginner friendly than go with someone else.

  • I disagree, his mixup game is not that good and very little cross-ups ability (with exeption for FBA, but thats not working on good players), most characters have way better options.

    He has some nice, easy and hit-confirm-able combos, great mindgames and some really great normals.

  • Vega also has many nice cross-ups which help A LOT and his mix-ups off the walls are insane. If you use it to its full potential, you can play a BEAST mind game (that's what I love most about him). It'll be easier also to beat other scrubs being that they may not know off the bat that his ultra and his ex sky high claw can go threw projectiles such as Ryu's and Co. hadokens. His backslash flips can also help get you out of sticky situation and you can bait Shotos to do wake up DPs to than punish

  • CONTINUED FROM LAST COMMENT! I myself main Vega. At first it will seem like he's the worst character in the game (in some ways he can be), but stick with him. Also his Ultra is arguably the hardest to pull of in SF history (it took me about two months :) The great thing about this is that once you master it, EVERYTHING else in the game will seem like child's play (except for the PRO Moves such as FACD'n into Ryu's Ultra and Kara throws), but even those are less intimidating once you master Vega.

  • There are many unknown variables when determining who you should play with. In Vegas case, he does happen to output small damage and inputs a lot. It's advised that you should be somewhere near an intermediate player to fully grasp Vegas talents in combat. But there's a good side to this. If you want to master SF sooner than pick him. The reason I say this is because you'll be forced to learn the main combat system inside out, as this is where Vega can shine (as seen in the vid) 2 B CONTINUED

  • back dash into ultra?...amazing stuff

    a good M. Bison is really hard to play against

  • This video was excellent! Im gonna get better thanx to thos. Thanm you sir

  • That focus then back then Ultra is a really great move...

  • Great video, it's Helping me a lot in champs...

    Sagat&Ryu = N00B

  • The only thing is with Vega's combos, its funny he should pick Ryu as his target. Alot of his combos can be interrupted and severly punished by a simple wake up shoryuken, or in balrogs case buffalo head butt.

  • A combo cant be interrupted unless you screw up the timing...

  • His super doesn't do alot of damage but when you need to finish someone off, his Super, people don't know how to block it. They just press back and you can easily graqb them

  • People dont know how to block it because they dont. They either dodge or knock Vega out off the air if they know what they are doing. You can see his super and comming a mile away and thats why he is ranked so low.

  • Simply incredible...there is just a few things missing for projectile counters....Vega's EX Rolling Crystal Flash goes through them as well.

    Awesome video though...good for the Vega users.

    In my opinion he is the toughest to use because it is all about timing and being quick thinking.

  • Good stuff man, jump in HP is the best set up for Vega, and of course EX FBA

  • thankyou so much for making this vid, ive got it on my hardd rive now and i watch it regularly

  • IMO his super isn't useless sure his EX moves are better in some way but if you manage to get to the super(all 4 bars) then you should use it because most of the time the other player doesnt know how to dodge it and it still does enough damage

  • The risk is losing your whole bar and losing a lot of combo possibilities.  DF HK, EX wall, Izuna does about as much as the special only using one special. It is a good mix-up in casuals but in ranked stuff it's not favored.

  • His ex move = his blood life . The super don't do much dmg and Vega without any ex move during a match make him only gimper(He's already enough gimpy )

    Plus his super it's actually very easy to counter and you Can't COMBO IT.

  • u can combo it after a scarlet terror but they gotta be in corner, hard to land, crap damage

  • what's the name of the first song in the video??? I have the OST of SF4 but there's no song like this one in there...

  • Great vid ! And really nice counter tips ! Makes me want to improve my skills with the Spanish Ninja ! :)

  • Awesome video man, helps a million.

    Lookin forward to the next one.

  • Great video.

  • Great! This very nice guide for Vega is now on EventHubsDOTCOM

  • I can's stand how slow his medium rolling claw is. Light is fast, strong is slow, but medium is slow as well. Kinda sucks like how Ryu's medium hurricane kick does all three kicks, which makes it just a slightly shorter version of hard kick. Rather have him do two kicks and not all three for measure.

  • i have just bought this game and im trying to clear the trials with vega... but i am having SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much trouble doing the "rolling izuna drop", i can do the normal version of the move, but i cant initiate the special, or i dont really know how :/ anyone help?

  • man i love vega

    he's soo cool

    and this video will help alot

    thanks!

  • kay....never knew you can guard cancel the second hit of guile's 2HK.....

    oh btw, you can land a ex28kk AFTER blocking Honda's 46p, sure hit, same goes for Blanka's 46p.

    Hate those Hondas and Blankas......

    On a forum I frequented, there was a very detailed list of methods to counter Blanka's 46p, Honda's 46p and Zangief's ppp/kkk AFTER blocking, some require a gauge, some don't, helped me alot..

  • Im suprised vega doesnt have some longer combos.. I know in the other street fighter games his speed was downright scary , So it would only make sense he has goood combos....

    Maybe he's just like fei long.. he has longer combos.. but theyre fucking awkard and useless...

    Anyway the vid was cool.. and some of vegas combos look really nice. must be fun pwning people with him.. They never see it coming haha

  • Wtf how do you make vega jump to the back wall in his ulta? i mean when you do the normal input it likes you send you to the front wall..

  • The command list only says up/forward, but you can aim it in either direction. Guiles is done the same way, but his don't change. You can pretty much charge down/forward, then just do a half circle in an angle. Not that bullshit zig-zag crap.

    PS comboing Guile's flash kick into the super is hard, but possible and easier with the joystick than the d-pad (assuming anybody uses the d-pad). Charge dwn/bk and do up/frwd+K, dwn/bk, up/frwd+K.

  • prove it.

  • I can't prove it because I don't use them online, if that's what you're asking for. But the half circle thing can be found in neorussell,com as a technique he mentions.

  • no i meant if you could post a video of you making the motions and showing us the screen so we know its possible, because i tryed many times and it just doesnt work that way, im thinking your using the 360 controler that really doesnt read the imputs correctly which result into the ultra, this doesnt happen whit the ps3 controler.

  • You charge down/back, then go from down/forward to up/back. Kinda like Cammy and Fei Long's angels hcf motions, but backwards.

  • i'm getting real good playing with Vega on Street Fighter 4!

    nice vid.

  • Yeah, but you'll never be better than me noob.

  • too bad you have the 360:( i would of enjoyed playing you on the PS3 sweetheart:)

    lol

  • Thanks god for the vs Blanka tips!

  • Seriously, I hate Blanka players, and this will help so much. That short few second tip section was pretty much a counter to their entire game!

  • I love playing as vega, i get beat most of the time, but at least it's a challege. and requires a bit more skill that most of the other chars.

  • niceee tutorial :o thank you

  • Awesome. Pure Awesome. You really helped a lot, THANKS

  • I have linked this awesome tutorial at the Neo Empire character discussion section for Vega(claw)

    Awesome guide for anyone just starting with vega!

  • sry noob question but how can u combo a 'df HK' into a 'heavy scarlett terror' if u need to charge backwards to do the 2nd part? :|

  • Just start charging db immediatly after pressing HK, the f+HK für the ST must be done very late, need some timing and practise but easy enough.

  • how do juggle light scarlet terror with heavy scarlet terror please?  Thanks

  • the character has to be in the air, it's an anti-air counter, like it said in the tutorial at 3 minutes and 16 seconds in.

  • Do you have to charge the Ultra when doing the backstep after a Focus Attack? Or do you just do the inputs?
