The Cheapest Character in Street Fighter History

This video reminds me of one summer where I terrorized a summer camp playing Vega. The camp had a store that had Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition and I would just go in to practice characters. Every night after dinner, the kids would come in and start pumping quarters. Now, all I wanted was my four plays for a dollar. If someone was behind me, I would move on. I don't like to hog games. But they kept trying to take me on. And I was practicing Vega. I would spend maybe two hours a night on the same quarter just destroying these kids. It would honestly get old. I would want to change characters, but I would play Vega all evening. Vega was my warm-up guy and I would play him to loosen up and then practice with the ones I wasn't as good with. For five days straight, I'm stomping kids to the point I'm starting to feel bad. But I'm NEVER going to let someone win. Finally, in these kids' movie moment, one of them steps up to the plate, plays Bison and finally beat me! Not being cheap doing multiple psycho crushers. Just being SMART and watching me and timing his moves. A fair and square defeat! Those kids were cheering for him and might as well have carried him out on their shoulders. A tip of my hat to the one kid that finally beat me fair and square.

Vega screams were even more horrifying, after barely not being reduced to tatters, realizing Sagat was the next opponent...

The real problem with walldive is not that it's a mixup or that it's hard to escape. It's that even if you do know how to AA it, Vega can deploy early to land the walldive shallow and make your AA whiff, then sweep you and start pressure. At a certain level of play, there's no consistent way to beat it: you have to either make a hard read or get lucky (the former is how Choi beat Tokido at Evo 2008)

It looks so weird to see a Street Fighter character zipping around even more than a Smash Melee character.😅

There is also a ultra cheap Trick when you Play in spain(vegas Stage) Hit the enemy one time make Sure to have more health then him and crawl in the cagewall Till end of Match. Timeout win everytime

I remember a long time ago I was playing Street fighter IV and my brother was real into Vega, so I decided to watch a lot of the Japanese players on their tournaments and see what they were doing. I learned so many cross ups and an overhead Mix-Ups from those players. I had played a match on the Xbox 360 and whipped this ken players ass and I remember he sent me a message over the Xbox chat saying "Dude that was the craziest shit I ever seen with Vega in my life haha" are man that was so rewarding for sure!!!.

The cheapest SF character of all time was M. Bison in the first SFII Championship Edition. All a guy had to do was that torpedo move back and forth across the screen. If you blocked it, he'd still nail you 5 or 6 times, and then come at you from the other side.

The cheapest fighter is whoever DSP is currently fighting

“Old games had proper neutral” The proper neutral in question:

Not even the Claw player knows which side he's hitting

"They were forced to swap the names" Not explicitly. There was no cease and desist. I think it was Capcom legal that got cold feet about the possibility and asked them to change it for the US release as a prophylactic measure. They also didn't have to rotate the names like this. If you can code the names to rotate you can code in one new unique name for boxer. Such strange decision.

“He also plays way more defensively than other vegas” Shows a clip of MAO being hyper aggressive lol😂

So great to see a new vid from you! Love these glimpses into fighting game history

I'm not a good SF2 player at all, but I've beaten people on Fightcade with Vega by simply doing the 50/50 wall dive over and over. What's more surprising to me is that my opponents are never disrespectful about it in chat, it's like yeah they expect it from a Vega nothing new.

The OG neutral skip

I love (playing as) Vega

That was a really good video. I look forward to future content! Keep it up!

Vega (Claw) will always be my favorite SF Character!

buddy that studio setup! solid video my dude!

I remember back in the infancy of internet play, I got an X Play for the Super NES. I played Super SF2 frequently against this one guy, Brimstone, and he murdered me with Vega about 95% of the time we played. And it went exactly like it's shown here, Wall Dive after Wall Dive after Wall Dive, throw in a Claw Drill just to mess with you more, repeat. It was all in fun, was just happy to play, but man was it frustrating. Proof of why I don't play competitively.
