Vega was really strong when the computer controlled him. I always found him harder to beat than Sagat or M Bison.
Anyone remember that if E Honda stood there doing the slap-attack thing that Balrog could never reach him?
Yup even on level 7 Balrog couldn't outjump it!
I've just read that on the ORIGINAL SFII Ken didn't have the santing dragon punch - it only came in after Super SFII.
Meaning Ken and Ryu were identical (except for one throw) in the original game.
