    It's odd- but in the SFV story mode, Vega is humanized a lot more, and he's shown to be smarter than the other Shadowloo henchmen.

    My favorite thing about the 'killed his stepfather' story is how it gives Vega this sort of heads-I-win, tails-you-lose way of justifying his own hypocrisy; you think a kid who grew up in that situation would react really badly to the idea of women being hurt, but Vega has no such qualms. (His winquotes in SFV have really taken a step up in terms of violence, to the point where he's talking about bathing in Chun-Li's blood!) If you tried to make him see the light by saying he's no better than his stepfather in that respect, he'd probably just be offended that you compared him to such an ugly person. After all, they're nothing alike! He's BEAUTIFUL, duh.
    It's basically an extra filter added on to how he sees good and evil. Is said person beautiful, or ugly? If the former, can do no wrong; if the latter, wipe them off the face of the Earth. Reminds me of this story about some Greek or Roman lady who, when accused of a crime (don't recall her name or if even the crime was a violent one), got acquitted because of how beautiful she was - the idea was that someone so gorgeous had clearly been blessed by the gods, so killing her would just bring down their wrath.
    Another interesting thing about his character that's come out in SFV is that Vega seems to believe beauty only 'matters' if it comes with a degree of suffering. He expresses distaste at the Dolls because they've been wiped of all emotions, and keeps putting off fights with Chun-Li until she's learned the truth about her father's death. Of course, in earlier games there were also hints of this, since he remarks to characters like Sakura that he doesn't want to kill them until they've become more mature. So, if his family history is canon, he might see that as the contributing factor to his beauty...and why he revels in his bloodlust, since it brings out the beauty in other people.
    (Can you tell Vega's pretty much my favorite villain, too?)

    • @XofHope
      @XofHope 7 років тому +20

      Very good character analysis, I mostly agree with you. The irony is that, since to him beauty equals goodness, his narcissism and constant strife for physical perfection is his way of striving to be a good person. His backstory made him a really interesting character, far beyond his original simply amusing narcissism.

    • @carlbloke8797

    I find it funny how M.Bison, Vega and Balrog's names are swapped. In the true canon in Japan, the black boxer, M.Bison, (Called "Balrog" outside of Japan) his name is short for "Mike Bison", which is a play on real-life boxer Mike Tyson, Vega is the leader of Shadaloo (Called "M.Bison" outside of Japan) and Balrog is the masked Spanish fighter who wields a claw (Called "Vega" outside of Japan). It reminds me of the Blinky and Clyde name error in the Pac-Man series. In most Pac-Man games, Blinky (The red ghost) is Clyde and Clyde (The orange ghost) is Blinky. For example: Blinky chases, Pinky ambushes, Inky scares easily and Clyde isn't very smart. In reverse: Clyde (Blinky) chases, Pinky ambushes, Inky scares easily and Blinky (Clyde) isn't very smart. Isn't that weird?

However, my question is - do you plan on doing character reviews from other fighting games - such as Guilty Gear or Blazblue? Anyway, keep up the good work - nowadays it's hard to find something worthwhile on YT - and your Who Dat is just a cure for that:) Cheers!

    Finally! I am glad that all that info has been collected up and discussed in a single video. Though i do agree that is hard to tell the canon from non canon, but there is potential in that story arch that it seems to be leading to.

    Fact
    When street fighter release in japan their name is reverse originally named
    Vega is the dictator
    M. Bison is the boxer
    And balrog is this ninja with the mask
    Capcom change their name because they are afraid that mike tyson will sue them if they use the m bison on the boxer with is mike bison and not mike tyson.

  • @Tailikku1
    @Tailikku1 8 років тому +1

    A little missed opportunity to use KMFDM's Ultra, which was Vega's theme in the English dub of the Street Figher II Animated Movie. That song essentially transformed what was essentially a scene taken from a slasher film (where he was known as Balrog in the Japanese release) into one of the most hardcore fight scenes in the movie.
    To give an idea, the music in the Japanese version is standard Capcom composition, almost similar to their PS1 titles (with the music that plays while Ryu and Ken fight Dictator later being used in Street Fighter Alpha). During Claw's fight with Chun-li, you'd half expect Albert Wesker or Sigma to appear and wreck you. Then there's the US version which opts for a more grunge-oriented soundtrack which makes the movie seem more like a standard action movie, including bands such as Black-Note, Tricky, KoЯn, Alice in Chains, and KMFDM. The best example of this musical change is in the opening scene where Ryu and Sagat fight in the Outback. In the Japanese version, the music sounds a bit like the FFVII opening, while Americans and Europeans got an atmospheric track interlaced with heavy metal and the sounds of a coming storm.

    • @DiGiValentine
      @DiGiValentine  9 років тому +1

      Incubus Lord Thanks, man! :) And honestly, i was VERY surprised to see Vega make it in, haha! XD I think he has great potential as a character but i didn't expect Capcom to choose him when there's so many other characters that they could pick from. I love what they're doing with Vega now though, his new moves are awesome! I'm curious to see how his story is going to play out. Things could get very interesting for him.

    • @heavynorse7746
      @heavynorse7746 9 років тому +1

      It does seem like Capcom is changing up some things with SFV, so maybe that means some more story potential - one of the things I love Mortal Kombat has evolved. So we'll see if there's more to Vega than psychotic ninja bullfighter. :P

    • @DiGiValentine
      @DiGiValentine  9 років тому +1

      Incubus Lord Yeah! Mortal Kombat has done really well with story telling. I loved what they did in the last two games, it was great! Honestly, that is what i wish Street Fighter would attempt to do because Street Fighter really does have some great concepts going on in there, it just needs to be explored properly. When you have characters as rich in detail as this it's a shame not to explore their journey's in greater depth.

    Wish u cldve also coverd his name was balrog.
    bison was vega
    balrog was bison
    the name m. bison was a play on mike tyson.
    bt then i think capcom either feared legal issues or just didnt wanna take chances n made the changes in non japanese releases

      Lynne Triplett What if there was a theory about Vega being dead all along and the only reason Chun-Li can see him is because Chun-Li see's dead people? ....think i just ripped off a film or something there.

  • @mrmadmight266
    @mrmadmight266 6 років тому +1

    Hi DiGi, would you mind if i did something like uploading this video on my channel but with spanish subtitles? cause i would definitely give you credit for it. I've been thinking in making a game with Vega as the main character, i never played an Assasin's Creed game but i would add some aspects of that game series as best as i can do it.

  • @Shanks612
    @Shanks612 3 роки тому +3

    I love Vega to death, he got me into fighting games just from his look alone. Just a shame that a character with such a great story and look is regulated to always be mid tier at best. I guess Capcom still hates how he broke the old SF2 tournament scene with his endless Izuna Drop set ups.

    Vega's hair explained: Vega is indeed a blonde. People with blonde hair change shades throughout the seasons. During summer months, their hair gets lighter; during autumn and winter, they're more of a dirty blonde.

  • @TannerOfTheNorth
    @TannerOfTheNorth 9 років тому

    Didn't expect another Street Fighter Who Dat so soon! I'm not complaining, I love the characters in SF more than the gameplay itself (more of a VS guy).
    I didn't know that Vega was that deep. I always just thought of him as a Balrog tier flat character but man, you showed me wrong. I'm wondering though, is that maybe-canon stuff from the UDON SF comic? Because if so, I think it is - Capcom and Udon work close together (they did all the SF4 cutscenes and art) so I wouldn't see why not.

    • @DiGiValentine
      @DiGiValentine  9 років тому

      ***** Haha, thanks man! Yeah, Balrog is pretty flat. I've tried to look at that character a number of ways and there's just nothing going on with him at all ...can't wait to do an episode on him! :D lol. As for the reason i done another Street Fighter character, i'm building to a schedule i've drafted for myself at the moment so there might be a little bouncing back and forth while the show starts up. Once it finally gets rolling though i'll be exploring other games and mediums like comics and cartoons too. It's just going to take a little bit of time to get there since making an episode takes a lot of work at the moment, lol. Slow start but hopefully this will build in to something huuuge!
      In regards to Vega and his backstory. Vega's nobility and upbringing within a wealthy family household has been mentioned a few times, but the reasons as to why he becomes such a psycho is never explored so fans kinda pieced things together. They know he studied bull-fighting and ninjutsu, that much is certain.. but how he ended up at that point and becoming a cage fighter/assassin is never explained. I read the Udon comics and there's not much in there aside from him being 'wealthy' and 'crazy'. There was a short film made a while ago called Matador which loosely explores this backstory too, but aside from that there's been nothing from Capcom directly to say just how Vega ended up the way he did.
