Capcom has confirmed the Spanish ninja Vega for Street Fighter V (PC/PS4). He will be playable at Gamescom this week.
Capcom has offered a brief description of Vega over on Capcom-Unity:
"Vega returns to Street Fighter V with a brand new look and new tricks up his frilly sleeves. Possessing his trademark speed and quickness, Vega now has access to two distinct fighting modes: with claw and without claw.
That's right, he now has the ability to sheathe his claw during battle in exchange for new moves, such as a command grab, as well as new attack properties, greatly changing the way he approaches each fight. Knowing when to toggle between the two styles will be the key to success, and it also allows for new combo possibilities. Conversely, Vega will no longer be able to pick up his claw once it's knocked off, so knowing how to fight without the claw is a must! Players who enjoy tricky movement and the technical challenge of switching between claw/no-claw fighting styles will definitely find the beauty in Vega's play style."
The piece also details Vega's V-Skill: Matador Turn and his V-Trigger: Bloody Kiss.
