SFIV: Vega - Art of Beauty Combos

[urza4315]

With regards to the S.Hp -> Hard RCF combo, I've always thought that if you can hit confirm into a S.Hp, you're much better off doing a C.Mk -> Scarlet Terror since it does more damage, no?

Also I don't know what it is, but for me RCF always seems to take just a little while longer to charge than Scarlet Terror so I always have trouble comboing into it.

[brianmdc]

Great video, didn't know some of this stuff would work. Thank you for a gorgeous time!

[weakerz23]

just shoryuken will cancel ur combo

[CarlosDXG]

@weakerz23

No it won't. You can't break combos in street fighter.

[weakerz23]

@CarlosDXG maybe some combos?

[CarlosDXG]

@weakerz23 No. If you shoryuken through someone's attacks, they didn't combo correctly. It's a very common misconception, but combos can't be broken by anything here. What happens is that the other person mistimed one of their attacks and when that happens, the combo ends. Comboing in this game is harder than any other fighting game I've ever played because the timing for links are incredibly strict and you can pay big for not landing them.

[weakerz23]

@CarlosDXG ur right but combos like those are hard to do ~if~ ur enemy is much more anti combos.. i agree that combo in ssf4 cant be counter.

[pratikh]

Good combos but any decent player would anti-air you before you got the first hit in.

[howiemath]

es increible las combinaciones de golpes que se pueden realizar

[MAXepher]

While I won't doubt they're combos, most look like jumpins that i could just Lariat lol

[xabbu2323]

@elmuerion Just read you other comment about "not all of them being combos". Lol yea of course they are. As neorussell said the combo display indicates that however many hits it says are (were) completely unnavoidable after the 1st hit. Neorussell is well known for making good videos like these. He wouldnt post shit thats not combos and call them combos. Lol

[xabbu2323]

Elmurion.  Been there plenty of times... I feel ya. Kens crossup combos ending in shoryuken hurt like a mother

[xabbu2323]

Great vid. Gives me lot to learn. Great song too! Thanks

[Vi3tmofo9]

Your special combo isn's special! It's very common, everyone uses it!

[elmerion]

Not all of those are actual combo's lol, most of them can easily be broken by spamming shoryuken's at the right time (which is just lame) they probably work against other characters anyway. Awesome video

[Ne0Russell]

@elmerion ummm... if they show up in the combo count, you cannot break them. If the opponent hits you in the middle then you missed your combo. Not because he stopped it but because you missed the timing. Combo count does not lie.

[hunkyvampire]

@Ne0Russell uhh the j.HP s.HP can be broken easily by shoryuken =/ or an FA back dash

[Ne0Russell]

@hunkyvampire Why don't you set Vega to record j.hp, s.hp and try to Shoryuken out of it. Make sure you record the 3 hits.

[Zimx02]

@hunkyvampire If it's broken, you're not linking it correctly. If it's linked correctly it's not broken. If it's not linked correctly, it does not show up as a combo. All of these are actual combos.

[petujaymz]

@Zimx02

stfu u fat slag

wtf is ur problem

[Zimx02]

@petujaymz My problem is ugly sows like you stinking up the internet.

[BlitzTiger]

Hmm, thanks for uploading. I may want to interpret more crouching mk's into my routine for some good mix-ups. Keep forgetting about those links.

[legendariesarecheap]

(1:17) How do you do the two hit attack after the EX flying barcelona?

[xSolBadguy]

My biggest problem with the SF series. All the combo's suck :/

punch x3 = notable combo..

[SmashFury]

@xSolBadguy although i will admit guilty gear, MvC2, blazblue, tekken all have insane combos which are impressive to look at; the street fighter series has mainly been about reading your opponent, then reacting to it correctly. in theory each character should be able to win their fight, as long as if the person using them knows what to do and when to do it

[elmerion]

@SmashFury That is correct, unfortunately the game isn't 100% balanced and characters like Vega got the worst end of it Vega attacs are both weak and slow and unless you spend a lot of time practicing with him any random Ryu, Ken, Sagat player can beat you just by spamming hadoken and shoryuken

[SmashFury]

@elmerion spamming is a problem though with all games though with skill you can win. i wouldn't say vega is all of that bad. i would even argue that tatsu maybe one of the the USA players and he happens to use vega. i will admit that vega is limited though they buffed him up a tad bit in SSF4. I think what the creators wanted him to play out as is a character that could poke, yet still be on the offensive using normals because he never really had all that many combos to start with in ST

[elmerion]

@SmashFury Tatsu is awesome lol. i dont recall Vega having a combo is SF2 lol he jumped way faster back then and could win just by dodging and countering accurately

The problem is the damage balance in SF4. Yesterday ,I had a match against a Ken player and i won, but it makes me sick i dodged all his moves but a couple of shoryukens but those shoryukens burned my hp so fast it seemed like the battle had been tight until the end which wasnt the case ;(

[mercifulkyle]

@elmerion lol Don't forget Tiger Shot

[bznraisu]

@xSolBadguy do they suck or are you just bad at them?

[xSolBadguy]

@bznraisu lol oh yea that punch x3 is so god damn hard. I can't wrap my head around it.

[bznraisu]

@xSolBadguy well then i suggest modern warfare or some Fps instead fighting games ;P

[ColonelFOTiS]

very nice combos and music! ;)

[xxelxx0lixx]

good video 

[Tinnguyen123]

how do you do the slash down thing at 1:18

[yayitadiosa]

buena bro

[Elbisrever]

Well, first of all: nice vid with very good quality.

Second: I ( so very unfortunately) don't play sf 4, but i do read about it and stuff. With Vega being my fav char, I looked up his moves, and it said that a lot of his moves are "charge-up"-moves (2 sec). Is this true? Because you seem to follow up your attacks very quickly without needing to charge up!

[ThIs1filLThYgUY]

@Elbisrever hes charge...but it looks like he does it quickly becuaewith charge characters you buffer the chargeor charge while doing combos.

[Elbisrever]

@ThIs1filLThYgUY Ah! I thought so ;) Tnx for the info!

[cloudstrife1256]

@Elbisrever You get REALLY used to buffering charges, it's second nature after a while. not to mention his combos are so badass, there's nothing more satisfying than juggling your opponent into the air only to izuna drop them to the ground haha.

[elmerion]

@cloudstrife1256 My thoughts exactly xDD, Vega is friggin badass

[cloudstrife1256]

@elmerion Haha, everyone else in the game wishes they were as beautiful as him!

[zimbiex]

focus back dash to ultra comes out quicker, and you dont need to worry about the distance

[redeyedragon00]

i hate how vegas so nerfed in this game hopefully capcom heard my prayers and buff him in ssf4, playing vega in all games he was in this version isnt the best translation of him and his speed

[jamheald]

Well I just picked up vega cos I figure if I can win with him now then I'll love the buffed ssf4 vega but, you know what, I really like him.

[MKComboGuy]

@jamheald TRUST ME! IF YOU COME ACCROSS A VEGA ONLINE YOURE FUCKED. UNLESS UR SUPER AWSOME. ALL THEY DO IS ROLL ON THE FLOOR LEFT RIGHT AND CENTRE!

[YunYunYooon]

@MKComboGuy You don't have to be awesome to beat scrubby rolling vegas... whiffed Rolling flashes are easiest shiz to counter, all you need to do is jump back and HK him or sth into a combo. Or even after you block the roll you can punish him easily since it has rly bad recovery time. And this is coming from a player maining Vega

[MKComboGuy]

@YunYunYooon True, you give a good example, I rest my case LOL.

[vegamaniac16]

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 oh im a begginer and would like to learn from the best :D VEGA FAN FOREVER YAY!!!

[MadenkaSyd]

A good video, however I don't think those first few combos can be called true "target combos" - they're certainly not like Ken's or Guile's. The first one was just close standing Fierce and the other two were links.

[solfizz]

Most Excellent!!

[SiCaXeMuRdeReR]

i have been watching all your vega videos...and i think i may want to make Vega a main now ^_^

[PhinnyCobbler]

how did you do Standing fierce punch to Ex barcelona? it would make you shift your movement down.

[GRRAB]

I really hope that in SSF4 they fix the whole "this combo only works on x,y and z" bullshit. :/

[randillio]

what does RCF stand for?

[Ne0Russell]

Rolling Crystal Flash (b, f+ any punch)

[FROG55JQN]

@Ne0Russell hw did u cancel standing fierce into EX izuna 1:45

[PowerOfWilliam]

@FROG55JQN practice lol

[redhurricane24]

Keep holding it down for all the Vega players. You're doing a great service!

[ishant0wn]

i just picked up vega and this is just what i needed :). thx alot and great work!

[Realmasterorder]

Nice stuff i wish Vega did some more damage or had a much needed overheat normal attack i would pick him a lot more for sure.

[KillEverybodyTwice]

*bowing down*

Very impressive stuff here.

[shadowdoomblazeIII]

Good stuff. That combo at the end was classy.
