Description
Executed by pressing down and all Light, Medium, and Heavy buttons, Vega arrogantly tosses the mask at the opponent; revealing his face for the entirety of the round.
Tactics
Vega's mask can be removed while he is in battle. While doing so decreases his defense, his attack power also increases. However, in order for to lose his mask, he needs to take a certain amount of damage. This is risky for Vega because he has to sacrifice a significant amount of health in order to the mask to come off. While he does get the damage buff to his attacks, the low defense can make it easier for the opponent to finish him off since he has less health to work with.
With the addition of Face Reveal in the latest patch, Vega has a way to freely remove the mask without the risk of losing health. It has a 46-frame startup, leaving him somewhat vulnerable as he tosses the mask at the opponent. Unfortunately, the mask itself is not a projectile since it has no hitbox. The best time for Vega to use this move is either after he stuns the opponent or when they are at a distance.
