Curiously doing a quick search I dont see anyone else has posted this, and its not listed on any wiki that im seeing either off hand at least.. I dont recall people knowing about this either when I talked about it when I was younger too so I guess its pretty obscure so since the games are in here it is again.. Normally you would think that vega just when he loses the mask takes more damage maybe from a more modern lets say SF perspective.. but in cvs1, if vega had lost the mask he doenst get any disadvantages that I can think of off hand, however, IF you do a throw super, a sorta seemingly arbitray 15-20% life is added to it no matter what. It doesnt seem to effect any other move than the super throw too, so his level 3 only super etc are not effected.
