Description[]
Executed by pressing forward and all three punches after blocking an attack, 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. Executed by pressing forward and all three kicks after blocking an attack, Vega performs a quick backflip, also separating 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 manageable, giving Vega an opportunity to bring the pressure right back.
