Make Vega a charge-based character again


Make Vega a charge-based character again
The Issue
Dear Capcom,
As you can see from this Eventhubs article, most Vega (Claw) players are mainers in SF4. http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/dec/31/when-mains-not-factor-vega-drops-14-spots-popularity-most-common-alt-characters-super-street-fighter-4-arcade-edition-v2012/
He has one of the biggest character loyalist crowd. His deep personality, sophisticated design, complex background story, his original design and his sneaky gameplay are why people have been in love with the character.
And being a charge character has a great part in Vega's identity. He is loved by many because of his poking, sneaky playstyle, where he charges on like a matador when he finds the opportunity. Being a motion-based character damages this considerably. It changes all his gameplan. We do not see being a charge character a handicap and it is one of the aspects that make Vega who he is in our eyes.
At this point, charging is fundemental to Vega as a fighter. The change is too drastic for such a trademark character. Since the announcement of SF5, we had been waiting for a Vega reveal. We were extremely excited when we saw him. But with this change, the hype died away.
You may be earning the character new players who just want to try him out, but you will be leaving the fans that have followed the character throughout all these years, who have his figurines in their homes. We will feel punished by Capcom for being loyal to our character.
Please, reverse this change. We're aware, much like M.Bison (Dictator), he has to have some motion commands, like his CA or command grab, but his other specials must remain charge-based.
Thank you.
Vega fans.
