14 DAY TRIAL // Ultra Street Fighter 4 update 1.04 includes quite a lot of interesting features, including the online Omega mode, not to mention fresh trials for the training mode that can be used to improve your skills.
Ultra Street Fighter 4 is the latest entry in Capcom's long-running series of new and improved editions of Street Fighter 4, adding even more elements on top of those from the original game, not to mention from other versions like Super, Arcade Edition, and so on.
The entry rolled out across PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 earlier this year, and since then, Capcom proved that it wasn't done with the upgrade process, releasing multiple patches that improved existing mechanics, while adding new elements.
Omega mode is coming with the update
The upcoming patch 1.04 is no exception, as it brings quite a few new things, starting with the Omega mode that adds new special moves and modified attacks to all the characters in the title, in order to completely revamp the whole experience.
"Are you ready to experience your favorite SFIV characters re-imagined in the all new Omega Mode? Every character has been given new specials, as well as adjustments on their normal attacks to make them that much more fun and hype. Once you get a feel for them, take them for a spin online and see what others have cooked up with their favorite characters," Capcom explains on its Unity website.
Bear in mind that Omega mode isn't actually its own mode. Instead, it's an edition of characters that's located in the Edition select menu. Seeing as how most attacks and specials are heavily modified, Capcom warns that players shouldn't expect balanced fights. As such, Omega mode is only available for unranked multiplayer matches.
Trials for the training mode are also included
Besides the overhauled experience outlined above, patch 1.04 for Ultra Street Fighter 4 also includes several trials for specific fighters in the training mode. These include the new characters that appeared with this edition of the game, like Poison or Rolento, but also some that saw overhauls in recent updates.
"Take your game to the next level as you try to complete all the fun and challenging trials for Yun, Yang, Oni, Evil Ryu, Hugo, Elena, Decapre, Poison and Rolento! In addition to trials for these characters, you’ll also find updates for characters whose USFIV battle balance changes made a few of their previous trials no longer possible. Once you master these trials, take your newfound skills online and style on the competition," Capcom says.
As of yet, there's no release date available for Ultra Street Fighter 4 patch 1.04, so expect to hear more really soon.
