Remove Claw/Mask



Remove Claw/Mask is one of Vega's special moves in the Street Fighter IV series. Executed by pressing forward, down, down-forward and punch, Vega will remove his claw and throw it to the ground. If light punch is pressed,the claw falls behind Vega, but if medium punch or heavy punch are pressed, it falls in front of him. The move has no known usefulness aside from mocking the opponent by implying that the person playing Vega does not need the claw to win.

The EX Special version is different; instead of throwing his claw away, Vega throws his mask. This has the effect of increasing the damage inflicted by Vega's attacks but lowering his defensive stats. Unlike most EX specials, throwing the mask away requires two sections of the Super Gauge instead of just one.
