This is a play-through using "Old" Vega (the previous SSFII version of him) in the Arcade version of Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge. Read on below for more information...

Old/SSFII Vega (claw) is a another version of the regular Vega. He is a hidden playable character.

NOTE: 2 continues used in this playthrough. One is cut out to save time and to reduce video file size.

===== HOW TO SELECT OLD/SSFII VEGA =====

On the character select screen, select Vega with any button, and immediately input Left, Right, Right, Left and then press LP or LP + LK.

If you've done it correctly you'll hear Vega's voice and his portrait colours will change into his original ones.

===== OLD/SSFII VEGA DIFFERENCES =====

As this is the old SSFII version of him, it means that he does not the Super Combo gauge, which of course means that he does not have the Super Barcelona Attack. He also does not have the Scarlet Terror special move.

Regarding other differences, one of the these is that it is quite difficult to execute his Barcelona Attack special move due to abnormally strict input windows for it, which was indeed also the case back in the prequel SSFII:TNC.

===== ABOUT VEGA =====

Probably the most famous fighting game narcissist... his design is most certainly unique - a combination of a matador and a ninja. In comparison to his WW, CE and HF appearances, he gained a whole load of new normals and a new special move for SSFII which really developed him into a far more rounded-out and flexible character, to the point that he was almost like an entirely new character. For SSFIIX/SSFIIT, he gains a further special move and also a new super combo.

===== OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====

--- Old Vega has two colour palettes. The first is the original World Warrior colours; and the second are unique colours that is specially made for Old Vega.

---- The second unique colour palette is made specially for SSFIIX/SSF2T.

---- There is no instance in the game where the CPU is in control of Old Vega.

---- Being the 2nd boss, he'll always appear as the 10th opponent when the player plays through Arcade Mode.

---- Being a set boss character in Arcade Mode, you get to have a mirror match against him if you select him as your character to play as.

---- The bosses and E.Honda are the only characters in the game who do not have a unique 'backwards' walking animation in the SF2 series.

---- He is known as Balrog in Japan.

---- To determine him, fighting game players refer to him as "claw".

---- If he blocks enough times, his claw will be detached. In SSFIIX, you can pick the claw back up.

---- In SSF2 and SSF2T, even when he is on his own background (Spain), he does not climb the fence when performing his Barcelona Attack. This also means that a CPU-controlled Vega has to use the side wall Barcelona Attack as well.

---- In gameplay, his claw switches to his other arm when he switches sides. This is due to the functionality of 2D sprite management (unless another complete set of unique sprites are created with his claw on his other arm for facing one way).

---- Regarding his ending sequence, the image of him holding the mask (the first picture) was not in the SNES port. Also in the SNES port, the second picture of his face and the leaping Vega wasn't a whole picture - they were separate items where it first shows Vega's face, then the leaping Vega would scroll in.
