Talk:Vega (Street Fighter)

message: Shouldn't the characters' -real- names be used for the most part, and the alternate "let's not get sued by Mike Tyson" names be the ones listed as an aside?  This guy is Balrog.  The guy in red is Vega. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.106.93.177 (talk • contribs) 
*No.  This is an English Wikipedia, and English names are used.  The English name of the matador is Vega, period. Danny Lilithborne 21:44, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I meant in this section. Make a new section if you want to discuss this. And since I was the one who reverted that edit, I'll ask again: Got a source? Also, saying that a name is more threatening is an opinion, and Wikipedia is not a place for opinions. The Stick Man (talk) 17:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

message: * His Japanese name "Balrog" is meant to be ironic, seeing as the Balrog is a mythical hideous creature, contrary to Vega's immaculate beauty. "Vega" is the name of a star in the Lyra constellation. Vega is also a Spanish word, meaning "small valley"; it's also a common Spanish last name, which helped fit Vega's Spanish ancestry and matador background in the storyline, and an uncommon female first name. 
* When Vega performs a custom combo, the shadows that trail him are not masked.
* It is hinted that Vega may engage in hematophagy; he had a strong fascination with his victims' blood whether or not he actually partakes of it.
* Vega appeared as an unplayable boss character in the Capcom/Psikyo shooter Cannon Spike in 2000, as part of an elite group of terrorists in the future. Here he is known as Fallen Balrog (even in the North American release), has two claws, no mask, and a sickly palor, resembling the undead monsters present in that stage of the game.
* In Capcom vs. SNK 2, during Vega's fight intro he will throw a rose to characters he respects (M. Bison) or finds attractive (all the female fighters). He will turn away and shake his head at characters he finds unattractive (Blanka, Yamazaki).
* Vega was given the surname  in the anime series Street Fighter II V, but it's not officially canonized by Capcom.
* In his original Street Fighter II appearance, the CPU-controlled Vega had a special attack where he could jump onto the cage wall in the background of his stage, climb it for a few seconds, and then leap, dropping down onto the player from the top of the screen. This gave Vega a rather unique advantage as he was the only opponent that could directly interact with the background of his stage. Because he was not a playable character in the original incarnations of Street Fighter II until Champion Edition, this technique could not be replicated by the player unless the battle occurred in his stage. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, when on Vega's stage, Vega has a Super Combo that recreates this ability for a short time (even though the player cannot control him until he leaps off to attack).
* In Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, the flag of Spain is the francoist one, with the black eagle symbol on it. On Champion Edition, appears the constitutional one, with the royal label. On further editions, it appears without any symbol, only the red and yellow flag. --David Pro 22:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: True, but the guide that talks against trivia sections also says that they shouldn't just be erased, just try to be implemented into the rest of the article. -Krendall (talk) 15:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:SSFVega.jpg

message: Due to Vega's appearance and several sources, Vega has to be gay because it was once written hat he has a sexual feeling for Zangief. 83.64.76.55 (talk) 22:29, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Um...yeah he's not confirmed to be gay. If anything you could compare him to Benimaru of KOF. He's a narcissistic pretty-boy type found very commonly in Japanese material. Unless they suddenly come out and state "he's gay", he isn't. Also there's nothing saying Zangief is gay either: that was the result of people reading into something badly.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 17:25, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
