‘Street Fighter 5’ Characters & Trailer: New-Look Vega With New Fighting Style Revealed in New Teaser
The claw-wielding, white mask-wearing, narcissistic Spanish matador is back!
Vega is the most recent reveal by Capcom of its "Street Fighter V" roster. The Japanese gaming company has unveiled nine characters so far leading up to the game's March 2016 debut.
In the new teaser trailer, the handsome Vega looks more flamboyant than ever but also more dangerous. He is seen with some new moves to go along with his much refined appearance. He has now been clothed with a white bullfighter's camisa. Previous versions of the character showed him bare-chested.
Capcom billed the character as a fighter who is enamored with his own "beauty" and draws his catlike fighting style from it. He has great confidence in his abilities evidently shown by his preference to wear a mask. He sports it to mainly avoid the blood stains from his opponents rather than keeping it on to shield his precious face from damage. He is equipped with Wolverine-like claws, which allows him to strike from a safe distance.
In "Street Fighter V," Vega can be played with or without his trademark claws since he is now able to sheathe his blades during combat, similar to "Assassin's Creed."
According to Capcom's website, players can access a variety of Vega's new attacks and takedown moves once the claws are in sheathe.
"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," the post mentioned.
Vega debuted in the combat game franchise as a boss character in 1991's "Street FIghter II." He has since been appearing in all of the game's versions with the latest being "Street Fighter V."
The other characters Capcom has already revealed through previous teaser trailers are mainstays Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, M. Bison, Charlie Nash, and Birdie with newcomer Necalli.
Players can combat opponents from around the world since "Street Fighter V" will have an online multiplayer mode. They can also visit the nearest Capcom Pro Tour to watch or compete against the best "Street Fighter" gamers.
Street Fighter V will run on Unreal Engine 4 technology and is scheduled for a March 2016 release, exclusively on PS4 and PC.
