Street Ultra Fighter IV Announced - Super Aggrivated Emo

[Captain of Fun]

If you see me online hit me up. Very rusty, and I've barely touched the 4 new characters, but I'm down.

Though it depends entirely what I'm doing at the time in skyrim. Slowly catching the addiction that Funky has for bethesda games.

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay. I have a 'beacon' up.

[RoXer]

Your beacon can suck my dick, I just started getting back into umvc3 so if we're playing anything it's that.

[Kalyx triaD]

Back and forth, back and forth. Make up your damn mind.

[Funky Fly]

If you see me online hit me up. Very rusty, and I've barely touched the 4 new characters, but I'm down.

Though it depends entirely what I'm doing at the time in skyrim. Slowly catching the addiction that Funky has for bethesda games.

Yeah, son. I've learned to play Skyrim one-handed so I can jerk off while I play.

[Captain of Fun]

aaaaaand my disk is fucked. Dunno how it even happened. Likely dumbass roomates. Oh well. Still got it on ps3.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's nice for you and your friends on PS3.

[Funky Fly]

Fuck. Also, I lent my copy out after laying the smackdown at a buddy's gaming night last week. Been resorting to MK for my fight game jones.

[Kalyx triaD]

Had a session with Drakul. Still has a beastly Gief. First match was played with default controls, pretty much embarrassed myself. Later on, he perfected my Vega pretty bad.

[Drakul]

I've still got a little rust to shake off with Zangief. Playing as anyone else, I'm very rusty as you could probably tell. I couldn't even remember how to do Seths Ultra or how to oil up as Hakan.

[Boomer]

Kinda hoping MS might discount the price for AE like PS3 did this week, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. After watching 2012 matches for the past few days, I can definitely tell its worth my purchase. The balance seems much better, and I like some of the character changes a lot.

[Kalyx triaD]

Voice Actors Playing Their Characters:

Sakura and Ibuki's VAs

Sakura's VA is HOT. Ibuki's VA is cute, kinda bizarre her voice is pretty much Ibuki all the time.

Cody and Guy's VA

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QfUbSGYl950" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nice touch by Cody's VA with the shirt.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh yeah, Capcom confirmed at PAX that there will be another update for SF4. PRETTY SENSUAL.

[Kalyx triaD]

AE 2013. Good for the people still on it.

SFxT pretty much replaced SSF4 in every which way for me.

[Blitz]

Depending on the content of 2013, I may go back to 4. Especially if there's actual new stuff, rather than a balance patch, though I doubt that.

[Drakul]

Is it a "Now this move does 1% more damage" update or a "Now you can play as Birdie" update?

I'm guessing it's the first one.

[Kalyx triaD]

Balance update only. Square with that now and at best you get a nice surprise of some new characters coming in. And even then accept here and now they will be the SFxT Capcom characters.

[Drakul]

R. Mika & Sodom, please :(

[Drakul]

From EVO 2013 comes news that Street Fighter IV's next update will deliver four new characters—and a fifth never before seen in the series.
Rolento, Elena, Hugo and Poison will join the roster, plus an unnanounced fifth fighter. The characters, plus six stages and the usual complement of adjustments and balances, will come to PS3, Xbox 360 and PC for $15. This package will not release until early next year.
Rod Breslau of GameSpot first reported the new characters via Twitter, adding that Capcom will announce the name of the update and show a new trailer before the EVO finals tomorrow. (The update will not be called Street Fighter Arcade Edition V. 2013

Hugo? Poison? In a one-on-one SF game? Great!
New character? Great...providing it's not shoto #33762 A.K.A "I know it looks like another Ryu clone but this guy has a axe kick!"

[Drakul]

Actually...maybe King Cobra will finally show up?

[Drakul]

General info in video form:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hMBmje89Yw0?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Drakul]

So, the 6 new stages are from Street Fighter X Tekken. I'm a little disappointed at that. I'm hoping the new character is actually a new character and not just someone from something else. No Bad Box Art Megaman or Haggar, please. Someone totally new.

[Fignuts]

Kobra would be awesome.

[Drakul]

He would be if he's not another Ryu. That's my only concern. I don't care if the new character is similar to T.Hawk, Makoto or Vega and I never use him/her. I just don't want another Ryu to clutter up the game.

[Blitz]

Elena. So down.

[Blitz]

Hope the new character is The Scorpion from Saturday Night Slammasters.

[thecc]

alex please

[Drakul]

It wont be Alex because they said it was someone who has never been in a Street Fighter game before. They also confirm it's not Bad Box Art Megaman or Asura.

[Kalyx triaD]

What I'm hearing just might bring me back to this game, at least for a little while.

[Drakul]

People are thinking it'll be Haggar because the rest of the FF cast are in minus Sodom.

I'd actually rather it wasn't. I really really want a 100% new character, as long as it's not another Ryu. You know the spiel.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'd think you'd want another grappler.

[Blitz]

Drak I just wanna say you have a really stringent spoiler policy.

Request: Change thread title to "Ultra Street Fighter 4". Thanks.

[Blitz]

SF4 finals hype so far.

[Drakul]

I'd think you'd want another grappler.

I'd be happy to see another grappler but, he's a little too close to Zangief. After all my talk about Ryu being in the game in multiple flavours, it would be a bit hypocritical of me to say "Yeah, another Zangief. Awesome!". I now have Zangief, Hugo and Hakan. All grapplers but pretty different.

You know what would be cool? A female grappler. Maybe a big beermaid from Germany called Hilda or even an American Gladiator style woman.

If they wanted another grappler and it had to be a guy, for some reason, I'd like a Scottish wrestler.

His "thing" can be he has to grab someone and physically grapple them. Then he has multiple choices from that grapple. He can sweep them down, throw them overhead, etc. If they can make sumo, a sport about pushing, into a Street Fighter character, they can do it with Scottish wrestling.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/0gN5nS67kuM?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This video gives you a rough idea. Multiple types of slams. Imagine the move at 1:49 with a Street Fighter twist to it. The video has a woman screaming in it so you might want to turn the volume down.


Drak I just wanna say you have a really stringent spoiler policy.

It's the internet so theres always the chance someone wont have wanted to know whatever info I just posted and I know how annoying it can be when someone just says something that might ruin something for you.
A new TV station over here called Ginx (read as jinx) is really bad for that. It's a 24 hour gaming channel and, I swear, they can't talk about anything without telling you the twists and ending. That's if you're lucky. Sometimes they'll actually show you the ending and tell you it's the ending. Even in reviews.

[Kalyx triaD]

Get Tekken Tag 2 and pick King.

[Drakul]

I tried King in SFxT. Couldn't really grasp him.

Ha! Grasp! get it!?

[Kalyx triaD]

Well I did say Tekken Tag 2.

[Kalyx triaD]

And I wouldn't call him a grappler in xTekken anymore than Abel is. They're close-range strikers who just so happen to have a few special throws.

[Drakul]

I think I only have Tekken 1.

[Drakul]

I've heard that the new character will be shown at Whatever the next event his. Comicon or some PAX thing. Anyone know if that's true/false?

[Kalyx triaD]

I haven't heard anything.

[Fignuts]

Oh god, rolento can suck a fat cock. Especially Khuntrys Rolento.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well get a condom because we may very well return to SF4.

[Kalyx triaD]

And I've been dropping Khuntry's Rolento lately.

[Drakul]

I haven't heard anything.

I've read Kotaku say it'll be the end of the year, so that's probably more likely.

[Drakul]

Hi res images of the preorder costumes artwork:

http://media.eventhubs.com/images/2013/07/15_usf4artwork04.jpg

I'm liking all the costumes. I can't find it to preorder in any UK shop right now.

[Drakul]

The 6 new stages are all from SFxT. They are:
Half Pipe
Cosmic Elevator
Mad Gear Hideout
Jurassic Era Research Facility
Blast Furnace
Pitstop 109

This really does seem like it's turning out to be pure copy/paste.

[Blitz]

I'm excited for this update, don't get me wrong. But it'd be nice if they could do something other than just port over SFXT elements.

[Drakul]

Yeah. I really hope the 5th character is a totally new character.

I get the feeling the new modes might be from SFxT too. Colour editor? Gems? Pandora?

[Kalyx triaD]

Don't be ridiculous.

The characters coming from xTekken will play differently to fit in SF4's specific core engine. There will not be Gems or Pandora - Pandora the power-up dependent on a team set-up. And no, I doubt tag will make it in.

Just... don't be that kind of guy that jumps the gun with wild speculation.

[Drakul]

I didn't really think Pandora would be in. Colour editor, though. I could see it. With the disc including all the outfits, they may as well let us change colours. It would be an improvement if we had a colour wheel rather than preset colours, No Mercy style.

Then again, everyone will either dress everyone in black anyway or make all the girls nude.

[Kalyx triaD]

I just remembered I should be mad that Karin is yet again snuffed.

[Blitz]

Don't be ridiculous.

The characters coming from xTekken will play differently to fit in SF4's specific core engine. There will not be Gems or Pandora - Pandora the power-up dependent on a team set-up. And no, I doubt tag will make it in.

Just... don't be that kind of guy that jumps the gun with wild speculation.
Where have I wildly speculated anything. Obviously they will play to IVs engine. But they're still importing assets over. Art/animation, what have you. Not to mention the stages.

[Kalyx triaD]

You didn't think I was talking to Drak then? I'll use quotes from now on.

And in any case this isn't the first time Capcom reused or slightly altered assets between games. The Alpha series sprites were used everywhere. This is not a bad thing.

[alvarado52]

Been thinking about dusting off the ol' Street Fighter and re-gearing my game for whenever the next big TPWW tourney comes around...guess i'll do it now.

Was happy with my progress in the last tourney considering it was the first time i've ever really delved into competitive fighting and actually learning mechanics and move sets.

[Drakul]

Oh yeah, we're going o have to get another one in motion for when Ultra has been out for a month or so.t

I'm not getting gold for my 360 until GTA V comes out so any SF activity before then would have to be minus me.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well USF4 will be out well after GTAV so that shouldn't be an issue. We didn't have an Arcade Edition tourny as many of us moved on, so it would be cool to have one for this game.

[Drakul]

I'm thinking a February/March release for USFIV.

That's actually the good thing about skipping AE. When I buy Ultra, I'll be getting the update from both Ultra and AE at the same time, so I'll have 9 new characters instead of Ultras 5. I'll also be getting all the DLC outfits and whatever else I skipped on AE and whatever is added to Ultra. So it's a bargain, for me.

[RoXer]

Thoughts on changing the title of this thread to "Street Fighter MINUS Tekken"?

[Kalyx triaD]

ha

[alvarado52]

Was considering asking Roxer if he wanted to throw down, even though he consistently kicks my ass...but we tend to piss each other off playing this game.

Me playing against Roxer in Street Fighter is like Roxer playing NBA2K against me.

[Kalyx triaD]

I imagine ass-kickings ensue.

[Drakul]

Narrowing down the range of who he 5th character could be in Ultra Street Fighter 4, Capcom's David "Dawgtanian" Hinds left a note on his Twitter account stating that the unannounced character is very much related to Street Fighter.

A community member was worried that this new fighter would be in a vein similar to Cole (Street Fighter X Tekken), Mega Man or Asura. Hinds had this to say.

Thujal: Terrified the 5th character is going to be another Cole / Mega Man / Asura and not related to Street Fighter. And Dinosaur stage? In Street Fighter? Really?!?

David Hinds: It's very much related to Street Fighter, so you won't need to worry.

Earlier today it was discovered that the 5th unannounced character in Ultra Street Fighter 4 had never been in a fighting game before, which means people like Mike Haggar and others who'd been in the Vs. series were out of the running — as this individual would be making their fighting game debut.

Based on this new information, who do you think the 5th character will be?

Now, this has got me thinking. Someone who is "very much" conected with SF yet has never been in a fighting game. Anyone from the SF manga, animes pr spinoffs that may be possble?

[Drakul]

Oh, I got it! Go Hibiki!

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Rwda_u3Y0QQ?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Fignuts]

Chun Li's father
Gouken and Akuma's master
Ono himself.

[alvarado52]

I thought he stated that the 5th was never in a "Street Fighter" game

[Fignuts]

Could be a swerve. Final Fight and Slam masters are considered to be in the same universe as street fighter.

[Drakul]

They were never in a fighting game so that rules out Haggar. Other FF guys are possible.

[Fignuts]

Says specifically a big part of street fighter tho, so I think my previous guesses are more likely, along with Go Hibiki.

If I had to bet money on one, I'd say Goutetsu.

[alvarado52]

Evil Ken.

[Fignuts]

He was in one of the capcom vs snk games I believe. Can't be him.

[Drakul]

I honestly will be happy as long as it's not another type of shoto. Diabetic Akuma and Hammer Toes Ken are characters we can do without.

[Drakul]

Japanese trailer. I'll switch it for an English one, if one is put up.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ultra on PC is ditching GFWL and going with Steamworks. Should also come out at the same time as consoles and if there's any patches, they'll be free and not have to be certified, so should finally get them in a timely manner too.

[The Rogerer]

I suppose I might as well fnnnn buy this again then

[The Rogerer]

I am always upset about how bad I have been at Street Fighter. A lack of human opponents over the years probably accounts for that. If I collect myself, get this new edition and apply myself methodically like I did to improve in CoD and saw dramatic results, I can do it.

[Drakul]

Play as Ryu or Ken, it works for everybody else ;).

[The Rogerer]

I got pretty comfortable with Chun Li, but I would lose my head too easily and not have a good enough strategy if they started pushing back.

[Drakul]

I'd think playing Ryu or Ken would actually be a good starting point if you wanted to get into the rhythm of the basics of it. From there, you can branch of into whoever you feel suits you.

[Drakul]

I'm by no means "pro" so I could be completely wrong.

[The Rogerer]

I got Street Fighter II for the SNES in 1993 so I don't have an excuse. It is my mind game that is completely non existent. I have realised that you need to find the game within the game.

[Drakul]

I used to be like that with SFIV. I'd play someone online and, if things weren't going my way, I'd panic and just screw myself over.

[The Rogerer]

I was glad that Poison is coming over. I am at the point where I have been thinking about getting better at fighting games and I have wanted to most of my life but never had the killer instinct. I got better at FPSes with the right mentality and I know I can do the same now. I would rather be a SF champion than a rockstar in my fantasies.

[Drakul]

I'm glad Poison is going to be playable as well. Curious what music she'll have.
She's one of the very few non-grapplers I play as.

I don't get the craze for modern FPS games. Played CoD local multiplayer once with my sister when she brought it over and it was the most generic guff I have seen in a very very long time.

[Kalyx triaD]

Halo 4 and Battlefield 3 is great.

[The Rogerer]

Call of Duty is a very good modern interpretation of Quake for me. Very finely tuned.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's actually a very good comparison.

[Drakul]

Played SSFIV for the first time since before AE released. True, it was just arcade mode but it was set to Hardest and I plowed through it like I had never stopped. I thought I'd be a lot rustier.

I have noticed I was jabbing more and forgot about focus attacks. Probably because of SFxT.

Wish they'd show the USFIV character already. I hate it when a company announces a game and then has this big period of silence. Telling us "We're experimenting with this guys hitboxes" doesn't count.

[Drakul]

Could be coincidence or it could be a "clue" as to the fifth character. Each first letter of the new characters spells HYPER. We just need a Y.

H=Hugo
Y = ?
P=Poison
E=Elena
R=Rolento.

[Fignuts]

Someone important to the history of street fighter who's never been playable before.

Street Fighter documentery by Capcom:

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2gZBITO5GwI?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Kalyx triaD]

Eh.

[Drakul]

Rumours. First one said comes from multiple "reliable sources". The others are based off something from NeoGaf.


• "Red Focus" being added
- Said to absorb two hits (anything that isn't armor breaking), costs 2 bars of meter, and level 2 is unblockable.
- Some sources are reporting that the damage may go unscaled after Red Focus.

• Players can choose both Ultras. - Not specified if this means you can use both with one meter, or have the choice between both (like Gen). - Supposedly, if a player opts to select both Ultras, the damage will be considerably less.

• A delayed wake up mechanic may be getting implemented as well. Reports suggest that the input will be MP+HP.

[Kalyx triaD]

Interesting.

[Fignuts]

Prolly gonna jump back into this soon.

[Drakul]

Mechanics.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KrUcZyQUl6Y?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Kalyx triaD]

Cute.

[Drakul]

That's two of the three rumoured changes confirmed. If they didn't mention the 3rd then it's probably not in because it's not exactly big enough news to get an individual reveal.

I'm interested in seeing what I can do with Red Focus.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's multi-layed hyper-armor essentially. You can expand the parry-like application of regular FA to defend against combos and multihit specials (and supers it seems). I don't agree that something like this should be added without majorly restructuring Armor Break attacks, which seemed kinda arbitrary in how they handled it to begin with.

Having two Ultras at the cost of damage is a cop-out - just make it default to have two Ultras with no damage penalty. I have no clue why they went halfway with this, I imagine most players would choose adaptability over limitation since many Ultras are hard to land.

I appreciate changes of this magnitude in a five year old game but it's seriously starting to 'choke on its own system', similar to recent Call of Duty games. You can only alter the game so much before you need to rework the very foundation for actually new shit to work. Otherwise you're making new pictures with the same puzzle pieces, it won't make sense after a few attempts.

Would like to see the new character now.

[Fignuts]

I think it's good that having 2 ultras scales back the damage. Ultras are hard to hit because they do so much damage and because they're not really earned like supers.

Giving a player 2 without scaling the damage would have given credence to reveants opinion a while back that the game rewards you for losing.

This way it all stays balanced.

[Kalyx triaD]

Having two at once doesn't suddenly make them easier to hit.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, but it gives your opponent less options. For instance, if you're fighting ryu, you have to adjust your play style to account for not only his anti air ultra, but also his projectile ultra. Some characters, depending on the situation of their ultras, are going to benefit enough from this where they'd be unbalanced if ultra damage stayed the same.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm saying that case makes for a more interesting game if it was default, rather than choosing one to be really powerful.

[Fignuts]

Agree to disagree

[Kalyx triaD]

Pussy.

Get Battlefield 4 next Tuesday.

[Fignuts]

Well I was saying that above all balance should be most important. I don't care how interesting a mechanic is, if it tips the favor to certain characters, then it's flawed.

Also, not buying battlefield til I have an Xbox one or ps4. That won't happen til summer at the earliest.

[Fignuts]

Can't help but feel like the two ultra thing will prompt people to play even more cautious when the ultra gauge of their opponent fills, leading to really slow boring matches.

[The Rogerer]

Having the choice of Chun-Li's two ultras would be pretty sweet

[Drakul]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/lIxFeq_OvkE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Please don't tell me SF is going PS4 exclusive.

[Kalyx triaD]

I have no clue what that ad is getting at, but Sony and Capcom have been chummy before.

[Drakul]

Either SF collection, Ultra is exclusive or the whole SF series is exclusive for X years.

[Jonster]

I kind of feel that red focus has been put in almost purely because of Rolento - the amount of multi-hit moves he had in the trailer was ridiculous.

Anyway agree that having both Ultras will become the default selection as it gives more options to the players. It really depends on the damage scaling if it does result in the other player becoming super cautious though.


Even with this change it'll still be less complex than any Arc System Works fighter :lol:

[Kalyx triaD]

Red Focus was added to facilitate dual Ultras and force people to respect their 'Glass Break' moves more. Now you can build Ultra much faster but with more grey life on you, one jab could be very dangerous. Also makes the game a tad more aggressive which seems to be the theme of the update in general.

Rolento's still gonna be a bitch, though. Even without his jab pressure from SFxT he'll still be very tricky. He's basically a harder hitting Ibuki without the complex controls, and he'll at least be a better Rekka character than Yun.

[Drakul]

I don't really pay attention to technical stuff like what makes a game more agressive or more methodical but if USF4 is going to be more agressive, I'm looking forward to it.

Another PS4 teaser video is up. Ryu drives a taxi around a city full of PS4 characters. You don't realise just how friggin' dull modern "A-List" characters are until you show them all togethor in a city. The most colourful thing in the video is probably Ryus headband.

[Kalyx triaD]

What the hell is Sony and Capcom getting at with these?

[Drakul]

It seems like a generic "Buy the PS4" video but, given the previous video focused entirely on Ryu and had SF references everywhere, it probably means something else.

I've read it could be a Sony exclusive character for USF4.

[Kalyx triaD]

That would be a strange way of teasing that.

[Drakul]

With the original video, i thought it could be something but, after the second video, it might be nothing.

Ryu in the next Sony Smash Bros? Exclusive SF game? Capcom had said they can't afford to make a next gen SF game. Maybe Sony is funding one on condition it's exclusive. I'm just shooting out ideas I've read elsewhere. See if anything clicks.

[Jonster]

I've read on another forum that someone on Twitter has confirmed delayed wake ups and that having both ultras mean they do 60% damage.

60% is higher than I was thinking, given that it's going to be easier to build ultra meter.


Delayed wake up destroys the vortex game and should stop some unblockables but also ruins Gief and T Hawk.

[Kalyx triaD]

Them having a harder time is well worth a game wide adjustment of that magnitude. They need personal buffs from there.

[Drakul]

Yeah, delayed wakeup is confirmed.

I'm not technically minded, I just show up and SPD people but if it's something that's going to put me at a big and immediate disadvantage, that sucks. As long as the shotos work like a dream, who cares, right? :roll:

Then again, if someone delays standing up, I could get closer.

[Kalyx triaD]

You gotta let go of this idea that shotos are treated special. It's not the case. I don't know how else to explain it to you.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

DETAILS CONFIRMED

Next up is the release date information for Ultra Street Fighter IV. Right now, we are hard at work to bring the game to all of our fans as soon as possible, and want to ensure there is enough time that players can practice to compete at Evolution 2014. As such, the digital upgrade will be available in early June for $14.99 (€14.99) on PS3 and Xbox 360. Following shortly after in August, is the digital upgrade for PC at $14.99 (€14.99), as well as the PS3 and Xbox360 full digital bundle and retail versions, which include all previously-released costumes for $39.99 (€39.99). Since our PC fans have to wait longer for the content, we have a special deal where they can get the full digital bundle including all of the previously-released costumes for only $29.99 (€29.99), also in August. Apologies to our PC fans, as we did want to release simultaneously, but this was the only way that we could ensure that Ultra Street Fighter IV would be included in the largest fighting game tournament in the world.

So in the meantime, make it out to one of the location tests or Capcom Cup to try out Ultra Street Fighter IV and be sure to check back here to Unity for the latest updates on the new exciting content coming to Ultra Street Fighter IV.

[Emperor Smeat]

New trailer by Capcom reveals all the changes and new stuff Ultra will contain.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JN9wsnPER8g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


Capcom also debunked the rumors of Retsu from the original Street Fighter being the final character and instead said it will be a female character.

As he took to the stage before the nights final tournament, Ono began by dismissing many of the speculated additions to the Street Fighter IV roster. Hagar of Final Fight and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 fame; Street Fighter Alpha 3's R. Mika; and the rumored Street Fighter adversary, Retsu, were all eliminated from contention.

And while Ono was not able to reveal the final character for Ultra Street Fighter IV, what he was able to share was that the last character will be female -- which heavily leads towards fan favorite Karin joining the cast.
http://www.destructoid.com/final-ultra-street-fighter-iv-character-will-be-female-267524.phtml

[Kalyx triaD]

A lot of rumors leading back to the new chick being one of Bison's Killer Dolls, particularly the black one.

[Fignuts]

Did the Dolls in the alpha games play like cammy?

Would really prefer someone with a new, unique style as opposed to just Cammy with a tweaked move set.

[Kalyx triaD]

Juli and Juni did have Cammy's moves as a base, but that was more a limitation of the medium back then. I think doing a Doll nowadays would result in somebody who plays more unique than simply being a Cammy clone. At best she'd have the alpha Doll attire but that's it.

[Fignuts]

Fucking hell kalyx.

Saw this bumped and thought they announced the new character. Instead, I get some shitty machinima video that will probably be god awful like everything else on that site.

[Kalyx triaD]

This isn't a Machinima production, it's just hosted there like the fucking awesome Mortal Kombat Legacy series.

And like MKL, these guys give a fuck. This will be the best SF live action thing ever. All the behind the scenes stuff looks great. Check it out.

[Emperor Smeat]

Decapre was revealed to be the 5th and final mystery character for Ultra.

She's Russian, looks and moves a bit like Cammy, and serves in M. Bison's squad of teen girl bodyguards.

So who is Decapre? She's one of M. Bison's dolls, and as such, she is a clone of Cammy (which explains the similarity in her appearance). While she's been featured in other Street Fighter media, she's never been a playable until now.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dC-Hl33Xqpk?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Kalyx triaD]

She's a bitch.

[Fignuts]

First impression, looks too much like cammy. Saw a Cannon spike and dive kick in there.

I realize there will be differences, but like I said, I was hoping for someone totally unique.

[Kalyx triaD]

"She plays nothing like Cammy."

- Kalyx triaD, Cammy player.

While I'm also unimpressed, USF4 is generally unimpressive to me. This chick, while lazily modeled, is brand new. Had she had the same moveset under a different body people would be hype and all that.

[Ermaximus]

Decapre is a legit clone of Cammy. So now instead of having a shit ton of Ryu clones (Ken, Dan, Akuma), we get a Cammy clone!

This kind of shit is why I stopped playing and supporting SF. Capcom, fix your shit.

[Kalyx triaD]

Explain her being a 'legit clone'. Teach me something. How is this like the shoto triplets?

[Fignuts]

Neither of you knows for sure.

I just commented on her similar moves and movement.

Too early to say anything definitive.

[Kalyx triaD]

I do know for sure. A fairly complete walkthrough video was put up on IGN the same hour as the reveal. Her entire movelist is out there. There's no fog of war here.

She's not a Cammy clone.

[Ermaximus]

She just feels too similar Kalyx. We'll see how it pans out.

[Kalyx triaD]

No, we don't need to see how it pans out. Her walkthrough is out. The only functional carry overs from Cammy are most of her normals and some special animations. Her normals, like the disparity between Ryu and Evil Ryu's normals, will probably not work the same (in terms of frame data and priority). And the Canon Drill and Dive Kick animations are used WAY differently. They even took away her ground Canon Drill; the one thing that behaved like Cammy's special.

She's as far from Cammy as Oni is from Akuma (two totally different characters). But I'm reading all over the net how people liken Decapre and Cammy as Ryu/Evil Ryu, and most disappointingly right here, when the case was closed the same night as her reveal.

Tell me you watched the walkthrough if we're gonna have this discussion.

[Kalyx triaD]

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/GfWzsqyP37E?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Yeah, Cammy would totally do all of that nonsense.

[Ermaximus]

Eh, I'll give her a fair go before judging further but you pretty much already know C. Viper, Cody, and Cammy are the only 3 I really give a shit about right now.

[Kalyx triaD]

Wait... when the hell you picked up Cody?

[Ermaximus]

Maybe 8 months ago? Kind of on a whim. No rhyme or reason to it what so ever.

Tempted to do the same thing with Rolento now too, if he makes the cut into Ultra.

[Kalyx triaD]

He'll likely be way more dangerous in Ultra than SFxT. And I hate him in SFxT.

[Fignuts]

Gonna keep at Makoto.

Gonna get good with her if it kills me.

[Kalyx triaD]

Slightly off-topic; Rekindled my relationship with Chun-Li and picked up Marshal Law in SFxT.

[Blitz]

Decapre was revealed to be the 5th and final mystery character for Ultra.

The R. Mika/Retsu stuff at the beginning of the trailer is some fine, fine trolling.

I'll probably pick this Decapre broad up because I dig my Cammy, but still. This is some lazy shit, Capcom.

[Ermaximus]

He'll likely be way more dangerous in Ultra than SFxT. And I hate him in SFxT.

Rolento or Cody?

[Kalyx triaD]

Rolento.

[Fignuts]

Feel like Elena is going to be much better here than in sfxt. Might give her another shot in this.

[Blitz]

Picked this up in again in the last few days. The results have been disastrous enough to make me consider foregoing Ultra entirely.

[Kalyx triaD]

Rusty?

[Fignuts]

I imagine the only people still online, are the people who never stopped.

There may be an influx of newbies when Ultra hits, so I wouldn't count out getting it yet.

[Emperor Smeat]

Decapre's alternative costume:

Good thing they put a lock on those chains.

[Kalyx triaD]

She looks much better in-game, I guess.

Girl loves locks like Liefield loves pouches.

[Kalyx triaD]

Had a set with my brother (some may remember a Wicked Bison) for the first time in a million years. It's funny, he hates SFxT and I sweep him up in it. Then we go to SSF4 and while I'm not too crazy about it, he's just riding on my rust really. Really weird adjusting to this game, but one thing that comes to mind most is how much safer it seems to jump in or rush somebody down.

Focus Attacks was really tricky putting back into service.

When Ultra drops my stable may include:

Cammy
Sakura
Ken
E.Ryu
Oni
Decapre

Chun Li may make the return since I've been rediscovering her in SFxT. May drop Vega all together. Looking at Makoto.

[Fignuts]

Makoto is a fucking whore to get good with, but if you can even get just decent with her, you can body people, as they aren't typically used to fighting her.

[Emperor Smeat]

Capcom states PSN will get Ultra first on June 3rd, followed by XBLA on June 4th, disc versions on August 5th, and Steam on August 8th.

Capcom announces Ultra will not be having an updated Trials mode at launch nor will it arrive until after the launch of the digital upgrade version.

Ultra Street Fighter IV won’t launch with an updated Trials mode, according to Capcom.

The addition of Trials for Arcade Edition’s Yun, Yang, Oni and Evil Ryu along with Ultra’s Hugo, Elena, Rolento, Poison and Decapre is expected to come later.

“There will be no new trials available at the time of the Ultra Street Fighter IV digital upgrade launch,” a Capcom representative said. “But stay tuned, as we'll have more news to share on this topic shortly after the digital upgrade version is released.”

[Fignuts]

God damn it, I have to wait til the 16th, when Super goes gold to play this, since my disc got lost in my recent move.

Why the fuck is Super the Game with Gold release for the 16th instead of the 1st? Wouldn't releasing it now prompt more people to buy Ultra on Tuesday?

[Kalyx triaD]

lol

[Kalyx triaD]

SSF4 AE is now free for Gold members. I'm downloading it and Ultra right now. Once more into the fray.

[Fignuts]

I'll have it thursday.

[Kalyx triaD]

If anybody wants to get some feel good wins against me do it soon. I am totally free and probably will be until I shake off SFxT habits and timing.

[Fignuts]

I'd say I'm down, but I'm probably going to be trying boost combos and special cancels just as much.

You should do what I'm doing. I'm gonna play mostly Makoto, Gouken, and other characters that aren't in SFxT. Then once I'm back in the SF4 groove, I'll go back to the others. Easier to break sfxt habits when you're playing as someone you've never applied them to.

[Fignuts]

Fuck though, 6 gig download and then ultra on my shitty mountain internet.

Maybe I won't have it by thursday.

Just in case it decides to speed the fuck up, can I play you guys if I only have Super or do I have to have Ultra? Seem to recall with the last update you could play A.E. people without having it yourself.

[Kalyx triaD]

I've been rocking E. Ryu and just getting the more 'commit heavy' gameplay down. I should be less embarrassing by the time you jump in, and of course once Khuntry and the guys get some sessions in.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fuck though, 6 gig download and then ultra on my shitty mountain internet.

Maybe I won't have it by thursday.

Just in case it decides to speed the fuck up, can I play you guys if I only have Super or do I have to have Ultra? Seem to recall with the last update you could play A.E. people without having it yourself.

I don't know. I'll just make a room later and see if I have that option to set the last version.

[Fignuts]

Cool. Even with my internet it should be done before Thursday. I'll hit you up when I've got it.

[Drakul]

I wont have Ultra until the game gets its physical release. I'll probably go DL AE.

[Kalyx triaD]

Also get your YouTube channel in gear. Online and offline battles are saved for optional upload to your YouTube. While I do have a capture device anyway, I will be testing it to see quality and such. In any case you may not have to wait on me to upload some matches.

[Kalyx triaD]

I wont have Ultra until the game gets its physical release. I'll probably go DL AE.

If you can download AE can't you get Ultra digitally as well?

[Drakul]

Yeah but, if I get the physical disc, I'll get all the costumes and those weird new ones for Hugo etc. I'd also rather have a disc over a download whenever possible.

[Fignuts]

I'm the opposite. A disc can break or get lost, but you can always just redownload a digital game if it gets deleted.

[Drakul]

I keep my games on a shelf so I don't have to worry about that. Though Scribblenauts Unlimited vanished in January and my nephew and I spent the entire day looking for it. Still have no idea where it's gone.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm pretty much going digital unless there's no digital version. All X1 games launch digital same day so I'm only going to stores for controllers now.

[Drakul]

You both clearly have a greater trust in the technology than I do. I let friends/family borrow games too, so that's another advantage.

Saying all that, I download a lot. I currently have 80+ games downloaded to my Wii U alone. That's not counting Wii downloads.

[Kalyx triaD]

Thing is, sharing digital games was gonna be at launch before Microsoft cock blocked in saltiness from their big 180. It will come back, and it will be cool.

[Drakul]

Played AE. Glad I didn't pay for it.

[Drakul]

Has anyone had really bad wear and tear on the analogue stick through playing fighting games? Mine is wrecked.

[Kalyx triaD]

No, but you play grapplers with lots of 360 motions. Zangief killed your controller!

[Drakul]

Damn my skills!

[Kalyx triaD]

The most wear and tear I seen a controller go through was those damn DBZ games. Every sub-mechanic was designed to destroy your controller. 360s (that you had to 'race' against another player), mashing, stick tilting, constant trigger pulls, everything.

[Drakul]

I guess it's better than Mario Party that would destroy your palms.

[Kalyx triaD]

At the very least Nintendo controllers have a decent lifespan.

[Drakul]

I've had every Nintendo console and only two controllers have broken. One was a Snes pad that my sisters friend mutilated by pulling out the start button and the other was a GC controller that just seem to jam. The stick is always going up-right.

Other than that, the pads are nearly indestructible.

[Kalyx triaD]

We have GCN controllers used mostly for Smash, like three of them. From two gaming generations ago. As a point of comparison, I must have went through six 360 controllers by now.

[Fignuts]

Oh my god, so fucked in this game SFxT has ruined me. Fucking loose timing and combo off everything shit.

[Fignuts]

Well I have Ultra now.

Lost to a Hugo player that I would have bodied a couple years ago. I'm with you, Kalyx. I'm with you.

I like that Makoto's EX DP hits standing opponents now. Opens up a lot of possibilities.

Might give Decapre a try. Dunno. Seems like a complex character.

[Kalyx triaD]

She's alright. Some sick stuff will come after you reconcile her speed with her charge nature.

[thecc]

I really enjoyed playing as decapre. Might use her as my main charge character.

[Fignuts]

On the bright side, it's way easier to connect Juri's ultra from the EX wall kick now.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah my Sakura's more dangerous here than she ever was in SFxT.

[Fignuts]

Well I mean after the Ultra update. I mentioned after downloading super that I couldn't do it anymore. Tried like 20 times. Not once did I connect.

Downloaded Ultra and I can hit it at will. Might be a damage reduction though.

[Kalyx triaD]

Getting back in the groove, but also reminded why I left this link heavy frustration test. Ultra is the most aggressive version, but you would have to know intimate knowledge of the game to notice. The execution required is just tiring.

Anyway me and Khuntry been at it. I should be online for battles throughout the week.

[Fignuts]

I heavily prefer SFIV over everything else. It seems like all other fighting games these days are about memorizing long combos that take off a third of the lifebar, and managing meter to hit said combos.

SFIV is more about strategy and execution. Playing mind games so you can hit smaller but more precise combos. It just suits my play style a whole lot better.

[Kalyx triaD]

SFxT is WAY more strategic than SF4.

[Fignuts]

Can you not upload saved fights? Only your battle log?

That's gay.

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh for fuck sake, Capcom, why didn't you import SFxT's netcode. God.

[Kalyx triaD]

Focus Attacks kept lagging me and Figgy's matches, which also explains why we both kept getting timing wrong after successful FA hits.

[Fignuts]

Sorry Kalyx. That was on my end. Gonna have to talk to the landlord about a range extender for the wifi, so it may be a few weeks before I'm on again. Hopefully once I am the issue will be resolved.

My Makoto is better than when I last picked the game up. Wouldn't have even tried to play Kalyx with her in AE. STill not using all the tricks I'm capable of with her, and I'm getting hit with a lot of shit that I shouldn't be, but overall there's progress.

Maybe by the time I get my interwebs fixed I'll have her and Decapre developed better.

[Kalyx triaD]

Still a bummer. Online training mode is a nice touch, though. Get some risk-free practice in before embarrassing ourselves. Will be doing that often.

Aside from E.Ryu, my stable now includes:

Akuma
Ken
Sakura
Cammy
Yun
Yang
And I'm also messing with Decapre.

Chun Li and Vega may not return from the old days.

[Fignuts]

Thought about putting more time into Yun too. Messed around with him a bit in AE, but never really buckled down and practiced hard with him.

Hugo looks like a lot of fun too.

[Kalyx triaD]

Thanks to you I'm a tad more confident with E.Ryu at least.

[Fignuts]

lol I dunno, my Makoto may have improved, but she's still garbage.

[Kalyx triaD]

I meant as far as getting more aggressive with him. I don't consider any wins or losses from this session legit. The lag was real.

[Fignuts]

God yeah it was. Maybe half of my dashes came out. Which is really essential to her game.

[Kalyx triaD]

Testing out the YouTube upload feature with a match I just had with a Balrog player. See if it's decent enough that I won't need my capture device. Like DOA5 and Mario Kart 8, I may not like the process time anyway.

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay I'll stick with my capture device this process is crazy.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, I've heard if you're lucky and it doesn't time out, it takes an hour or two to upload.

[Fignuts]

Wish this was on XBONE so you could just say "xbox, record that" and be done with it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Doesn't it only record the last 30secs?

[Fignuts]

Is that all? Thought it was at least a minute.

That sucks.

[Kalyx triaD]

That that feature more for collecting cool moments on the fly. You can record longer than that but takes some gymnastics with the DVR app, that's how I got a whole match in my Xbox One clips on my 'page'. Even still the quality was less than my own recorder.

[Fignuts]

Well, that was ugly.

Can't even really blame lag that time. It was there but it only messed up my inputs a few times. The rest was my sloppiness. Almost tempted to get a stick again, as I feel like my execution was better.

Hit Makoto's EX DP a bunch of times, and could have capitalized for big damage, but NOPE. Butterfingerrrrrrrrrrrs. Same with her command throw.

[Kalyx triaD]

I just want the lag to be gone.

[Fignuts]

How come you don't use E.Ryu's dive kick at all?

[Kalyx triaD]

No real payoff. I don't really use Akuma's either.

[Jura]

[Taft]

Yeah, I've heard if you're lucky and it doesn't time out, it takes an hour or two to upload.

The process is pretty rough. It'll take about 20 minutes or so for an average match to upload. I set it to high quality video and it took almost an hour to "render" or whatever the term is and then at 87% uploading it tells me the YouTube service is down.

[Drakul]

I'll have Ultra in a month, if anyone still plays.

I have had a Zangief t-shirt for a few years now and I'm planning on buying a similar one with Hugo. I can't, for the life of me, find an official one for Poison. They have one for every other character that's been playable since SF4 and SFxT. Infact, they use SFxT artwork.
All I find are the unofficial "hilarious" "trapcom" designs.

[Fignuts]

Make your own using cafepress or something.

I'll still be playing this by next month.

[Kalyx triaD]

Her not having a t-shirt is kinda shocking. She really moves merch.

[Drakul]

The only publicly available Poison merchandise I've seen has been a figurine of her with blonde hair.

[Kalyx triaD]

I've seen hundreds of Poison statues and posters and when she got a playable role in SFxT she sky-rocketed from there. I don't know where you're looking for her merchandise but it is very much out there.

[Drakul]

Amazon and few uk places. I've googled it a few times too.

[Kalyx triaD]

I checked and there is still not a single official t-shirt, though. Gotta make one.

[Drakul]

Yeah, they need to fix that.

Hugo looks cool.

Isn't Guiles Summer vacation alt that Dark guy from SF EX?

There are rumours an animal costume DLC pack could be on the way, based on Steam files.

If it's anthropomorphic, I have an idea for a few of the characters.

Cammy = Cat
Zangief = Bear
Adon = Jaguar
Sagat = Tiger
Balrog = Buffalo/Bull
Dudley = British Bulldog
Guile = American Eagle
Ryu/Ken/Gouken/Akuma = Dragons

[Fignuts]

I hate the dlc costume packs. Just offer them piece by piece like they did witj SFxT.

It wouldn't even be so bad if the costumes were cool. Sometimes I'll even pick up a new character if I like an alt enough.

But christ, most of these summer ones are god awful.

[Sepholio]

I've always found costume packs retarded. If it doesn't add to game play then I'm not paying for it. I don't give a flying fuck what Ryu looks like as long as ↓→punch=fireball

For those interested, retail version of Ultra arrives this week while the Steam version arrives tomorrow.

The retail price is the same as the base package for the digital release -- $39.99. You could also upgrade digitally for $14.99. If you're itching to grab it on Steam, on August 8 you can grab the "full digital bundle" for $29.99.
