This reduces his attack range (and sometimes power) significantly, and prevents him from using certain <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Super%20Combos%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Super%20Combos%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BSuper%20Combos%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="4492-18642740595f7175d88d341" href="/wiki/Super_Combos" title="Super Combos" class="mw-redirect">Super Combos</a>. Since <i>Super Street Fighter II Turbo</i>, Vega is able to retrieve the claw; in <i>Street Fighter Alpha 3</i>, he can lose his mask as well, though the effect is only cosmetic there. In <i>SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos</i>, Vega cannot lose his claw. In the <i>Street Fighter EX</i> series, Vega may reinforce or recover his claw with a Super Combo. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">In the <i>Street Fighter IV</i> series, Vega can <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22throw%20his%20claw%20off%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Remove%20Claw%5C%2FMask%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRemove%20Claw%5C%2FMask%7Cthrow%20his%20claw%20off%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="4492-18642740595f7175d88d341" href="/wiki/Remove_Claw/Mask" title="Remove Claw/Mask">throw his claw off</a> as a special taunt.

If Vega wins a fight without his mask on, it is revealed that he sticks his tongue out to either lick his claw or taunt his fallen opponent. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">In <i>Street Fighter V</i>, Vega has access to two distinct fighting styles; clawed or barehanded, and he can choose to sheathe or unsheathe his claw at any point during battle. Barehanded, Vega gains access to a command grab, and vastly different attack properties. In a drastic change from previous recent appearances, once Vega's claw is knocked off, it cannot be picked back up.<span data-rte-instance="4492-18642740595f7175d88d341" data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cref%3Ehttp%3A%5C%2F%5C%2Fwww.capcom-unity.com%5C%2Fcombofiend%5C%2Fblog%5C%2F2015%5C%2F08%5C%2F03%5C%2Fthe-spanish-ninja-claws-his-way-into-street-fighter-v%3C%5C%2Fref%3E%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22extName%22%3A%22ref%22%7D" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" contenteditable="false"><sup data-rte-washtml="1" id="cite_ref-0" class="reference" data-rte-attribs=" id=cite_ref-0 class=reference"><a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22%3Cspan%20data-rte-instance%3D%5C%224492-18642740595f7175d88d341%5C%22%20data-rte-meta%3D%5C%22%257B%2522type%2522%253A%2522ext%2522%252C%2522wikitext%2522%253A%2522%253Cnowiki%253E%255B%253C%255C%252Fnowiki%253E%2522%252C%2522lineStart%2522%253A%2522%2522%252C%2522placeholder%2522%253A1%252C%2522extName%2522%253A%2522nowiki%2522%257D%5C%22%20class%3D%5C%22placeholder%20placeholder-ext%5C%22%20contenteditable%3D%5C%22false%5C%22%3E%7F%27%5C%22%60UNIQ55f614a971ed7413-nowiki-00000001-QINU%60%5C%22%27%7F%26%23x0200B%3B%3C%5C%2Fspan%3E1%3Cspan%20data-rte-instance%3D%5C%224492-18642740595f7175d88d341%5C%22%20data-rte-meta%3D%5C%22%257B%2522type%2522%253A%2522ext%2522%252C%2522wikitext%2522%253A%2522%253Cnowiki%253E%255D%253C%255C%252Fnowiki%253E%2522%252C%2522lineStart%2522%253A%2522%2522%252C%2522placeholder%2522%253A1%252C%2522extName%2522%253A%2522nowiki%2522%257D%5C%22%20class%3D%5C%22placeholder%20placeholder-ext%5C%22%20contenteditable%3D%5C%22false%5C%22%3E%7F%27%5C%22%60UNIQ55f614a971ed7413-nowiki-00000002-QINU%60%5C%22%27%7F%26%23x0200B%3B%3C%5C%2Fspan%3E%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22%23cite_note-0%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5B%23cite_note-0%7C%3Cext%20_rte_wikitextidx%3D%5C%224%5C%22%3E%3Cname%3Enowiki%3C%5C%2Fname%3E%3Cattr%3E%3C%5C%2Fattr%3E%3Cinner%3E%5B%3C%5C%2Finner%3E%3Cclose%3E%3C%5C%2Fnowiki%3E%3C%5C%2Fclose%3E%3C%5C%2Fext%3E1%3Cext%20_rte_wikitextidx%3D%5C%225%5C%22%3E%3Cname%3Enowiki%3C%5C%2Fname%3E%3Cattr%3E%3C%5C%2Fattr%3E%3Cinner%3E%5D%3C%5C%2Finner%3E%3Cclose%3E%3C%5C%2Fnowiki%3E%3C%5C%2Fclose%3E%3C%5C%2Fext%3E%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="4492-18642740595f7175d88d341" href="#cite_note-0"><span data-rte-instance="4492-18642740595f7175d88d341" data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cnowiki%3E%5B%3C%5C%2Fnowiki%3E%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22extName%22%3A%22nowiki%22%7D" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" contenteditable="false">[​</span>1<span data-rte-instance="4492-18642740595f7175d88d341" data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cnowiki%3E%5D%3C%5C%2Fnowiki%3E%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22extName%22%3A%22nowiki%22%7D" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" contenteditable="false">]​</span></a></sup>​</span> Depending on the chosen fighting style, possible combos are different. Overall, sheathing the claw is trading range for more combo potential. In <i>Street Fighter V</i>, the claw does not seem to increase damage Vega deals and therefore only provides him extra range for most of his attacks. However, a few of his moves attacks have increased damage with claw on to make up for loss of combo potential (FBA for example, which knocks the opponent down with claw on, denying any combo option). </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">In <i>Street Fighter V, </i>Vega loses his mask after losing around 80 - 85 % of his health bar. He has a slight increase in damage after losing the mask, but does not seem to have a defense penalty like in previous games. </p> <br /><strong data-rte-washtml="1" class="error" data-rte-attribs=" class=error">Cite error: <code data-rte-washtml="1"><ref></code> tags exist, but no <code data-rte-washtml="1"><references/></code> tag was found</strong><p /> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key streetfighter:rte-parser-cache:2029 --> Loading editor Insert: – — … ° ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥ ± − × ÷ ← → · § Sign your username: ~~~ Sign your signature: ~~~~ Sign the current time: ~~~~~ Wiki markup: {{}} | [] [[]] [[Category:]] Wikipedia: #REDIRECT [[]] {{DEFAULTSORT:}} <br /> <br clear="all" /> <s></s> <sup></sup> <sub></sub> <pre></pre> <code></code> <ref></ref> {{Reflist}} <references/> <includeonly></includeonly> <noinclude></noinclude> <nowiki></nowiki> <gallery></gallery> <small></small> <big></big> <center></center> <!-- --> View this template This field is a spam trap.
