14 DAY TRIAL // Capcom has just confirmed that two new mechanics will be added to Ultra Street Fighter 4, in the form of the Ultra Combo Double and the Red Focus Attack, which will both augment the fighting game experience.
Street Fighter 4 impressed lots of franchise fans many years ago when it came out for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Since then, Capcom has continuously updated the game, with re-releases like Super Street Fighter 4.
Now, the next big revamp is coming in the form of Ultra Street Fighter 4, which promises even more characters, as well as plenty of new mechanics.
Two of the new fighting systems from the next experience have just been detailed by Capcom on its Unity blog, in the form of the Ultra Combo Double and the Red Focus Attack, so check out their descriptions below.
Ultra Combo Double
Before the match starts you’re able to choose between your Ultra I and Ultra II combos. In Ultra we’ve added a third option, “Ultra Combo Double.” As the name suggests, once you’ve built up your revenge gauge you’ll be able to use either Ultra combo! The downside to this is that the Ultra will do less damage than it normally does. Having both Ultras available will give you new ways to press your opponent, limit their options, and expand your fighting strategies.
Red Focus Attack
This is a feature that strengthens the Focus Attack system. It uses up Super meter, but can absorb multiple attacks. Since it uses meter you’ll have to put some careful thought into how you use it. As the name implies you can distinguish it by its red glow. Just like the regular Focus Attack, the Red Focus Attack can also be dash canceled.
According to Capcom, the Ultra Combo Double will help players diversify their attack strategies, while the Red Focus Attack will help them defend in a better way against their foes.
Ultra Street Fighter 4 is set to debut this winter for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
