KMC Forums - The Spanish Ninja, Vega

Every fighting game has a resident psycho/sociopath in its ranks. Tekken has Bryan Fury, SNK has Freeman and Yamazaki, and Capcom has Vega.

Vega is by far, a classic. He was ridiculously cheap as hell in the original SF2, until you got down his fighting pattern, then once he became playable, he was abused like hell. Oh well.

Bio: Vega was born to a privileged Catalonian family in Spain. For reasons undisclosed, their status dwindled, causing Vega's mother to remarry for financial security. As he matured, Vega studied bullfighting, a cultural tradition. Afterward, he went to Japan and learned ninjutsu, a style he believed meshed well with his natural grace and agility. Combining bullfighting with ninjutsu, Vega went into an underground cage fighting circuit, and quickly became one of the best. His stepfather murdered his mother because he felt she did not respect him, and Vega killed him in return. The incident warped his mind, and he developed a dual personality: honorable nobleman by day, sadistic murderer by night.

Due to Vega's superb fighting ability and remorseless nature, the criminal leader known as M. Bison instated Vega as one of his three personal grand master bodyguards in the Shadoloo organization. Vega oversaw assassination operations for Shadoloo as well, and was associated with Cammy and the Shadoloo assassins known as The Dolls. Despite his savage and brutal fighting ability, Vega failed to protect Bison's secret Psycho Drive project.

It is unknown what Vega has been doing since the fall of Shadoloo, although it's assumed he still continues his murderous rampages.
