Thanks! Yeah it seems like it's about players in every rank. Really interesting still.
I really think Vega is a really bad character right now, but honestly he's had worse seasons. At least his Super doesn't randomly whiff if you and your opponent are too close to the edge of the screen anymore lol and he has a somewhat usable V-skill now. Still think he's really lacking in comparison to other characters though, he doesn't even have a good anti-airs.
I actually still kinda consider myself a Vega main and as much as I hate the character and think he sucks, he's easily my highest win percentage character. I think I'm sitting at around 68-70% win rate with him at like 1300 matches with him I believe. I haven't used him in like a year though, but I think I'm about to start again. I switched to Rashid and Blanka and never looked back, but Rashid is probably my worst even though I feel like I'm best with him.
If you lived through Vega's dark days a year ago you'd have a blast with him right now I think. Since he got Sky High Claw he became a lot more usable because it's a good threat against projectiles even if you don't use it much, and the EX SHC has good knockback that makes it not as dangerous to use. Vega's main issue right now is that while he has some really nice combos, nearly all of them depend on his V-Trigger I which is a one time use. Meanwhile a lot of other characters can build a lot more damage a lot safer.
He's also still having trouble Oki wise, but he's got a tick throw now which is rad.
I think I win easier with Vega but I think part of that is when I go online people go "The fuck do Vegas
even do" and I catch them off guard. I have a better record with Gill and Kage though.
Honestly it's the lack of a reliable anti-air that makes Vega hard to use for me, more so than the lack of wakeups or corner options(what the
fuck is his v-reversal even supposed to do)
