}} Vega, known in Japan as , also known as Claw, is a fictional character from the ''Street Fighter'' fighting game series by Capcom. Vega is a mask-wearing, claw-wielding fighter from Spain who uses a personal fighting style combining Japanese ninjutsu, French savate, American Zipota and Spanish bullfighting, earning him the nickname of "Spanish Ninja". Vega first appears in the original ''Street Fighter II'' in 1991 as the second of four boss opponents the player faces at the end of the single-player mode, a group known as the Four Devas or Grand Masters. From ''Street Fighter II: Champion Edition'' (the second version of the game) onwards, Vega and the other three boss characters, became playable. He reappears as a playable character in ''Street Fighter Alpha 3'', ''Street Fighter EX2'' and ''EX3'', the ''Capcom vs. SNK'' series, SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos, ''Street Fighter IV'', ''Super Street Fighter IV'', ''Street Fighter X Tekken'' and the upcoming ''Street Fighter V''. ==Conception and creation== Vega was designed by Akira Yasuda with the premise of ''Street Fighter 1s Geki character in mind, and was initially conceived as a brief sketch of a masked man in a ripped shirt with long, frizzy hair.〔 As development progressed the design evolved into a large, unarmed man, retaining the mask and dressed as a matador. The design was changed again, revolving around the concept of a foreign soldier with a cross on his vest and armed with a broadsword, while still retaining the mask. This design was eventually replaced in turn with another concept, a masked ninja in a bodysuit armed with a long metal claw on his right hand. Ultimately the character's finalized appearance was a culmination of all of these, incorporating various aspects of each into the finished design. When the original ''Street Fighter II'' was being localized for the English language market, Capcom's North American marketing staff felt that the name of the game's final boss, Vega, sounded non-threatening to North American audiences, and was much more suitable for the bullfighter, as Vega is by itself a Spanish surname and word. Plus, afraid of a lawsuit from American boxer Mike Tyson (whose name and appearance was very similar to the game's first boss), they felt inclined to change the name of this character as well. As a result, Claw's name was changed from Balrog to Vega for English-language appearances, while original Vega (Dictator) became M.Bison and original M.Bison (the boxer) became Balrog. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vega (Street Fighter)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
