User blog comment:General Awesomo/The Problem with Guard Crush/@comment-3343682-20141211023806/@comment-3343682-20141215230853

Well, I figure there's a reason Vega is generally singled out as one of the most well known weapon users in the series, because the claw is just that - a weapon Vega /chooses/ to wear. It'd be less of a necessity than, say, Balrog's gloves; those are generally a necessity for any boxer looking to not break their hand. The problem with THIS, however, is we're talking about logical consistency in a fighting game - the guy can floor an elephant without breaking his arm, so...

And yeah, I've heard people guessed wrong with the whole Guard Crush thing. Idk about auras, though; I've still gotta look at the demo from the Capcom Cup.
