14 DAY TRIAL // Capcom has decided to reveal a temporary changelog for the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter 4 expansion that will bring plenty of new things to the fighting game.
Street Fighter 4 came out quite a few years ago and, since then, Capcom has released several different expansions that included major gameplay updates as well as new characters or mechanics.
The next big patch is Ultra Street Fighter 4, as the add-on will appear later this year and includes a few new characters, some major new gameplay mechanics, and a huge amount of tweaks in regards to balance.
Now, Capcom has decided to share a list of all the changes that are included in Ultra Street Fighter 4 as of right now.
We posted below a list of the major system changes, but you can check out the big official changelog on CapcomUnity, which includes all the different character tweaks.
System Delay standing - Can only be performed against hard knockdown attacks - Can be performed by pressing any two buttons as the character hits the ground - The word “Technical” will be displayed if performed properly - Characters remain on the ground for 11 frames longer than normal
Red Focus
- Performed by pressing light punch + middle punch + middle kick - Takes up two meters - Can absorb an infinite number of attacks - Damage absorbed builds the Ultra meter at 2x normal speed - Does 1.5x damage of a character’s normal focus attack - Level 1 and 2 are the same as normal focus and armor effect fades when you release the buttons - Level 3 has armor effect until the attack is active
EX Red Focus
- Performed by pressing light punch + middle punch + middle kick - Takes three meters to perform - Does 1.5x damage of a character’s normal focus attack
Ultra Combo Double
- Allows characters the ability to use both Ultra simultaneously - Characters either do 75% damage or 60% damage of their normal Ultra damage - Character classified under the 60% damage are: Zangief, Cammy, Fei Long, T.Hawk, Makoto, Hakan, Dhalsim, Rose, Akuma, E.Honda, and Hugo - Characters classified under the 75% damage are: All remaining characters
These tweaks aren't final, as some might change based on internal and external testing until the release of Ultra Street Fighter 4 later this year.
