I heard something odd regarding Vega (claw)

[Vzamm]

Someone rumored that it would be hard to implement him in 3d? Because if he switches sides his claw arm is in the background. That was never an issue for the EX series, why should it be an issue here?

How would that be hard and why would they exclude ONE character from the original cast from the game just because of a stupid problem like that?

As a fan of Vega and Sagat, id love to play as these two in SF4, but hearing this just irritates me.

Was this at all confirmed or just some random post that got out of hand?

I hope hes in the game!

Btw Hi first post. :woot:

[erikstanton]

i dont understand how it would be a problem...
i am thinking that people make thing its a problem because since it is more in the background, it will be shorter or smaller?

[Rhythm1c]

It would end up being the same attack length regardless of which side he is on? I guess people who think it would end up being a problem don't play many 3d fighting games I guess.

[Keits]

In EX, they did not swap the skeletal animations on the y axis when the character was facing the opposite way.

In EX4, I mean... 4.... they do. So, the claw would remain on the correct arm (because we are not flipping the model itself), but he would stab with the clawless arm. Because of this design choice, expect to not see Claw in this game.

The animations dont change when you flip the model. It would look different because he would be attacking with his other arm and it wouldn't be facing the camera. Other than that i guess i don't really see the problem...

Anyway claw shouldnt be in this game, imo.

[Slartibartfast]

obviously they're going to put the claw on his head and the mask on his arm. duh.

[Vzamm]

id be upset if he was omitted

[Keits]

Have you even looked at any video of the game? The character's stance ALWAYS faces the camera. The model does not flip, only the skelletal does.

[Hatred Edge]

No one rumored this. You read that on the SF boards....
It was just a THEORY(or explaination) of the problems that may/can happen if they choose to put him in SF4. IT arose out of someone seeing that Sagats eyepatch and scar didn't change sides.

Besides, how can it be confirmed if a member of SRK made a post FROM NO SOURCE BUT HIS MIND? And the post never got out of hand. It was ONE post.

Man you just started a thread to discuss your love of the claw.

[Starcade RIP]

Just because that is the case with the existing cast does not mean they couldn't implement claw if they chose to.

[Gutter Trash]

all was theoretical conversation, nothing confirmed and no one confirmed anything.

but the animations in SFIV are mirrored onto the opposing limbs when they are on the other side to preserve the visuals of moves.
The 3D character models always remains intact, but the animations are mirrored

simplest example is Ryu vs Ryu in SFIV. His idle stance is always with the front facing the camera, never his back.

SFIV is not an EX game

[Kataklysmic]

sounds like that gay issue of Motaro not being a horse in Mortal Kombat 7...

BTW, Street Fighter VS Mortal Kombat versus game FTW!!! Just combine the fighting system from Mortal Kombat 7 and or 8 with Street Fighter 4 and release it for the arcades...that should revive the arcade scene. I'd pay $1.00 per game for that....maybe even $1.50 per game for that...

[Mechanica]

:confused: If you paid any attention to anything you'd know that the names have always had consistency. Depends on whether it's Japanese or US.

They were worried about the legal persecutions that might've followed from having a boxer character named "M. Bison" as a Mike Tyson spoof, so boxer changed to Balrog for US, and they had to switch the other two around to fit it.

Hence, Claw, Dictator, Boxer.

[DevilJin 01]

I'm pretty sure he's already aware of that. He just wishes both regions would stick with something. Kinda hard to do now since I'm sure either region would find it weird that their names have suddenly changed. Not even regarding the possible lawsuit behind it. Which I'm sure had more merit many years ago. Now it's just a matter of tradition.

[SNK Fan]

Simple yet dumb solution:

Give Vega a claw for each arm.

I almost expect neg rep for this.

[Bass X0]

just make him so he is the only fighter who doesn't switch arms when he's facing the other direction.

[Captain Ryu]

Put a retractable claw on each arm and just have it pop out for the proper side?

Also his claw always came off in other games so maybe he can have a quick hand switch animation when he turns around.

[Henaki]

You could say that about the majority of the SF2 cast, more important is his play style, that'd be the actual loss.

when you put it that way it still wouldnt be a loss


also im pretty sure it wouldnt be hard to make a copy of an animation and mirror it horizontally, its done in fps' all the time (left handed/right handed swap)

[Vzamm]

when you put it that way it still wouldnt be a loss

(also you can just mirror animations......)

thats up for debate

[Captain Ryu]

Is it impossible to have his claw towards the background on one side of the screen and keep the properties exactly the same as when its facing the screen?

Yeah well I don't live in either Japan or the U.S so when I'm having a conversation with my mates about these characters we have to (as is done on the internet) use these stupid cues like "Boxer" "Claw" or "Dictator." (sometimes known as "Cape")

[Hatred Edge]

Cape?:rofl:

[crazydiamond]

Also the solution to the problem is easy. When he is facing left his stance will still be 3/4 facing the players (as it is facing right) but when he performs attacks the animation is treated as though he is facing 3/4 away from the players.

Eg. When facing left his moves will look different but have the same properties but his stance will look the same.

[crazydiamond]

Cape?:rofl:

Only the most refined players choose to address him in this way.

No big loss imo, he's the one character I can do without.

His "style" doesn't add anything to the game since he basically breaks all the rules the other characters have to adhere to. They'd have to really think hard before putting him in because as it stands he's probably the single dumbest character in sf.

No, that would be Twelve, the giant wad of Shang Tsung's cum.

Claw is not that bad in terms of fitting in. Psychotic, narcissistic Spanish nobleman/hit man who is kills for Bison as he likes to kill things. He wears a Jason mask, a Wolverine-like claw, and has a giant Yakuza-like snake tattoo. He works well as a sub-boss, much more so than say Sagat.

[Duck Strong]

FYI I fall squarely into the camp of people who don't give two shits about the story and have nothing but contempt for the retards who might in some way want to sway Ino's design direction because some incidental/arbitrary/otherwise unimportant/stupid/random story element wouldn't be "canon."

Everyone say it with me:

"The street fighter storyline is fucking stupid and should in no way be taken into consideration in the making of this game"

I meant in terms of gameplay:

-stupid fast jump that enables him to react to any fireballs thereby negating a huge part of some characters' game. Who needs anticipation skills?
-wall dive shenannigans (nuff said)
-ridiculous sprite that's almost impossible to crossup with most characters.
-boring, simplistic, poke-centric game play
-can punish anything up to a half screen away with the press of a single button
-ridiculous walk speed + throw range (though this probably wouldn't be an issue in SFIV)
-and now that you mention it, his character design is pretty gay too.

[KING]

^^ LMAO.

rep'ed. :D

[hubcapsignstop]

twelve woudl add much

get ttha storyline bullsit thte fuck out of ehre

[Sagatryu]

I rather have Ibuki or Dudely, then Twelve , only because I don't like his design or his gameplay. as for storyline, those always a way to fit any character in when comes to that, so i don't know why some people say that characters like twelve can't fit in because of the storyline. I think any character can have fit in with both the gameplay and the storyline.

[shin_ryu]

Have you even looked at any video of the game? The character's stance ALWAYS faces the camera. The model does not flip, only the skelletal does.

that's not true. For example in Tekken Tag, Tekken 3, 4 and 5 Hwoarang sometimes didn't face the camera...you could play him as an orthodox or southpaw fighter...stop assuming stuff just because you've seen something to be similar in most games

[Capn Spanky]

Some time has passed since SF2. Canonically speaking, it will be very possible that Vega has received his second claw from Ebay. (OMFG!!!) Therefore, no matter which side he is on, he can stab with either hand.

No need to pay me for this story idea Ino. THe first idea is on me Capcom.

Of course if you can think of the problem you can think of a solution, but it doesn't really matter what the solution is. The bottom line is they would still have to do some extra work just to put Claw in, so statistically that kind of reduces his chances of appearing. But it only reduces, not eliminates.

EDIT: It's kind of ironic when I think about it... if they have to redesign the guy to have two claws it might just be that spark of "new design" that people have been craving, even if it's more just a necessity to the engine.

[El Maniatico]

Vega is as manly as it gets, excluding him from the game would be a goddamn travesty.

[Keits]

Just because that is the case with the existing cast does not mean they couldn't implement claw if they chose to.

Simple solution is to 'evolve' the character and put a claw on both hands. :)

[ssjtin]

I assume you're joking.

Anyway, I don't know much about 3d game designs, but since it's a 3D model it shouldn't be too hard to rotate Vega so that his claw is in the background side right? Even if the claw looks smaller, the hitboxes and everything would be the same because the claw is the same size...just a little further away.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

[blufang]

Yeah I don't think the claw mirroring thing, is so big a deal Vega would need to be excluded. Vega is one of the original 12 and is iconic himself...not to mention he played differently than the other eleven. Dictator can't be in, since he's dead I guess. However Vega, yeah it would be a shame if he was left out.

[recon_zero]

Merge with Wishlist thread please :confused:

[Bass X0]

Dictator can't be in, since he's dead I guess.

Why can't he be a bonus character outside the storyline? He would still be dead in the storyline, he's not a zombie or resurrected. He's a playable bonus character with no impact whatsoever on the storyline and does not have a storyline himself.

[Keits]

ALSO: Jumping off 'the wall' will look even more ridiculous in 3d.

[gridman]

Vega has to be included, he's so pimp. Fuck the people who hatin on vega. Not only is he iconic, hes a badass. MUST BE IN.

[Hatred Edge]

:confused:He cries if his face gets touched. You tell me that's badass?

[Capn Spanky]

He could re-enter the SF tourney in order to get revenge for the face beating he received. Canonically speaking, I am a genius.

Bison... he could be part robot powered by psycho energy. His new super would be "Psycho Eye Laser" In this super, he bores a hole straight through his opponent using a pure beam of concentrated Psycho energy.

That's two more ideas Capcom. Pay up. $$$

[Vzamm]

ALSO: Jumping off 'the wall' will look even more ridiculous in 3d.

Chun-Li does it just fine

on another note:

I didn't ask for anyones particular opinion on the character. I personally think hes badass,

its been cleared up and answered as just some random post. Thanks for the help.

He takes pride in how he looks. I dont think he cries either, I thought he just got pissed and stabbed you.

[blufang]

Capn Spanky those are seriously good ideas! Dictator returns, like a half robot, so he is like old Dictator but very different too. Vega comes back....his pride and joy, his looks....have been beaten out of him. Under his mask now is a grotesque scarred face, so the mask is not to protect his face anymore but to hide his shame. His moves can seem more enraged and less controlled than before.

Troof !

I figured, since they have to make a brand new render anyway, might as well just make him symmetrical. But you're right-it still is more work.

If the game was truly 3D, this problem wouldn't exist.

[SNK Fan]

ALSO: Jumping off 'the wall' will look even more ridiculous in 3d.

Hee hee. Dramatic camera angle of Vega climbing on a wall that DOES NOT EXIST in the render.

Y' know, Vega is starting to logistically sound like a pain. As good of a character he is, he doesn't translate well in 3D.

[Roshihikari]

Perhaps he can have his own special stage, where there are walls available for him to climb, or that he can only climb walls on his stage, similar to SFA3.
When he comes down from the wall, he can place a deadly strike from his claw into the enemy for a One-Hit head placed strike that could kill the opponent.

Perhaps this can be his ultimate, which is the only move where he climbs the 'wall'.

[Demon Dash]

Think of it this way, it was a flaw in old SF, not this one. If the claw is indeed suppoesed to be on one arm, then something has to be changed. The easy way out would be two claws, but I'd rather see them give him both frontside and backside stances, which in an essence is how he should be anyway.

[Demon Dash]

Why not have both stances frontside but have one moveset backside?
Because the whole point in Claw is his reach, without that he's useless. You can't design a character who's stronger on one side than they are on the other. If he used both arms, on one side it would be like he had lost the claw, even though he still has it. That wouldn't work at all, the only real solution I see is to keep him fixed in the stance he's in.

[Cronopio]

Vega is awesome and he needs to be in.

I don't think this is a big issue, just give him two claws like SNK Fan said or a different stance with the same reach for each side.

[Lonewolf_Fenrir]

I don't see why the game being in 3D would be a problem.
He can have his arm on the "background" side and still attack with it, what's wrong with that ?

[ssjtin]

[clue2025]

It seems like there'd be a problem with Claw flying around the screen everywhere in 3D. But I guess if they can do Blanka's then they can pull of Claw's. Why not give it a shot?

[Nokato]

ALSO: Jumping off 'the wall' will look even more ridiculous in 3d.

Exactly. The implication of the wall/tv corner is gone with 3-D. I'm sure they're going to try to put him in the game but I don't think he'll make it. Wall Dive is pretty signature to Vega (yodelai-ho-lei-who).

[CaliLifeStyle]

They could completly change him. They could have a story that Cammy or Chun-Li beat the crap out of him in SF2. His claw was destroyed and his mask damaged leaving his face disfigured. Maybe he no longer fights with a claw but with a sword this time.

[ProfessorS]

Just put a claw on each hand!

If this is true, then Sagat's eye patch won't switch sides, and that'll be sad indeed. I remember having a conversation with a friend about it. It went something like this:

"So, notice how the eye patch switches sides?"
"Yup."
"Why?"
"Well, clearly, he's blind in BOTH eyes."
"Then why does he only wear one eye patch?"
"So he can see, of course!"

[F.Y.C.N.]
