===== 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.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====
---- 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.
