Backslash

The Backslash is Vega's V-Reversal in Street Fighter V.

Description
By blocking an attack, the front command is done by pressing the equivalent button for the three punches. Vega performs a handspring back flip to further distance himself from his opponent. Vega also is equipped with a second V-Reversal called the Short Backslash. By blocking an attack, the front command is done by pressing the equivalent button for the three kicks. This time, Vega will only perform a quick backflip, also seperating the distance between himself and the opponent.

Tactics
Like most V-Reversals, the purpose is to stop opponent's pressure or to get out of tough situations. Because Vega is not strong when he's under pressure, the Backslash should be used to create as much space as possible between himself and the opponent. However, if Vega is stuck in the corner, he can use the Short Backslash to keep the distance from his opponent managable, giving Vega an opportunity to bring the pressure right back.
