Depends on your definition of the maneuver. In general, it's defined as from pure horizontal to pure vertical (with plane still moving horizontally), and then back to horizontal.
By that definition, it would be Su-27, and F/A-18. MiG-29 can do it from 30-degree nose-up attitude. And any modern fighter with thrust vectoring and/or canards can do it as well (F-22, Su-30/37 and related family).
The main problem with this maneuver is air intake design. Most intakes aren't designed to pull in air at that angle of attack.

The "X-35" has "Vectored Thrust", did you see that thing yet ? Everything has been re-written, this thing is amazing !
