Street Fighter IV

[Krandor]

Ken's new ultra is kind of dull, but then again his original ultra was probably the most visually entertaining in SF4

[Nitsuki]

What do you mean? It will be the exact same it has been in other Capcom Street fighter incarnations of the past..

Ryu has always had his forward fierce kick that knocks them off of the wall as a bounce back into ultra. (other than 2 and 4)

Edit - This video has some examples from his 3rd strike version

now i see what you mean, my bad my street fighter knowledge actually has a limit compared to my guilty gear knowledge. lol thanks for summarizing it.

edit: also holy shit at viper's new ultra and cammy's too, i feel like maining cammy again, i gotta start practicing.

[Baha]

i just hope to see more of anyone that doesn't have a shoryuken, akuma excluded really because he's not that big of a whore for me to fight anymore since i learned how to properly space.

i would just like some variation, more fei long/rose/abel/gen(he's hard as balls, i get why most people don't like him)/sim

just something new would be nice.

but fuckyeah juri+cammy+viper+chunners...and dictator, probably rose and gen and abel too >_> and maybe adon, god i hate trying to pick one character to play =(

This. Well, will be Cammy/Chunners/Juri/Ibuki probably for me. I don't think I'll ever be able to do Viper justice.
The friend I usually play against plays an awesome Gen and Rose, but he really wants to main Claw. I'm scared.

cammy try to remember the basics of CQC!

[octopus]

Haha, Rufus' new ultra is pretty cool. Looks like it's great at anti-air?

[jimbo]

nice update for chun :O

[Trigun]

I gotta wait till some dude from gametrailers gets back from Las Vegas to LA. F--- that we rocks the bootlegs...

Wong and his buddy wasn't fast enough in showing other Ultras they shut down the party as soon as mini-tourney was done. Wanted to see some Abel.

[Deejay]

Damnit I wanted to see some Abel too. He's the best character that no one plays.

[Xno Kappa]

Fuck yeah! I need to start practicing my Cammy/Bison back up.

Maybe they'll ungimp Fei Long a little bit, if not, sup Guy.

[Ramor]

friend mains claw, aside from a few tricks there's not much he has right now because pulling off the jab combos consistently is like fucking impossible, even viper's easier to play on the highest level if you ask me, but we'll see with the update

i forgot about ibuki entirely, if she's awesome i'll pick her up too :D

[Deejay]

I found a vid of Abels new grab ultra called breathless and Sagat's Tiger Cannon. breathless looks like a grab that can be charged and cancelled, as well as travel through fireballs. Seth killian also stated that it can be used as an AA which seemes kinda cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XzWkGGHHyM

the damage on Sagats new ultra sucks balls, and I'm hearing that his overall damage output has been noticeably weaker.

[richardd]

im sticking with my green beast. i like standing out. EVERYONE is gonna be playing guy/juri and im gonna maul over them with my hairy green beast while they are trying to be awesome with new stuff that everyone is gonna be doing.

i thought blanka was going to get nerfed, but his blocked balls have the same chip dmg and apparently (and the videos prove it) he is fucking FAST. a lot faster than he was in IV with the same hop distance etc, but what i like is, his new ultra will always trade in your favor from fullscreen even with shotos which makes sagat easier to deal with.

also, i like that his blanka balls are lower and have a further and faster recovery than it did in IV making it harder to punish from people like sim. im sure rog will still be one of my worst matchups still, but im glad he's getting a lot of upgrades rather than nerfs like sagat. his tiger uppercut is still crazy strong, but no where as bad as it was in IV. not that im complaining or anything, but its still cool.

[Scunsion]

heard u cant do anything out of cower crouch anymore, making the move pretty much useless, dont quote me on it tho

also i originally heard dhalsim was getting better but apparently range on his FP has been nerfed slightly so dunno what dats about

im confident my boy sagat will remain top tier, eheheh

yeah i know what you mean

despite the other tools people are getting and the nerfs sagat got with gief's lariat, he also got a buff in which he touches his scar and something happens that no one knows about haha. he's still gonna be #1 and the biggest asshole in Super. its all good baby bebeh.


i DO hope this gets an arcade release though ;(

[shidobu]

^ hated ur gdamn blanka. Iv think iv gotten alot better since the last time we played. Hit me up this weekend.

[octopus]

Shidobu have I played you before? I don't remember ;o Viper vs Viper would be hot!

also, i like that his blanka balls are lower and have a further and faster recovery than it did in IV making it harder to punish from people like sim.

It already required reversal timing to punish Blanka ball for Viper, so I guess it would now make it safe (or only punishable by EX seismo now). Blanka fights are annoying as it is, boo!

Copied from SRK:

iplaywinner's summary of info.
http://iplaywinner.com/news/2010/1/7...b-wrap-up.html
JURI

* The biggest reveal is that Juri has a Custom Combo type Ultra, where she activates and is able to chain together attacks for a set period of time.

* It's not clear if you can juggle with these attacks or how much damage they do within combos.

* Has some sort of EX Teleport move? Not sure what it was exactly, but seemed to pass through attacks to the other side of the screen. (One of our readers points out this is a counter move which allows her to appear in various positions around her opponent. Combine this with her CC Ultra and she will be a real pain to deal with up close.)

* Very fast but takes a lot of damage.

* As previous reports mentioned, seems to have some dive kick/overhead attack. Was hard to tell what was going on the stream though.

GUILE

* Guile receives Sonic Hurricane as his new Ultra which should help his ground game immensely.

RUFUS

* New Ultra, although not very flashy like his original Ultra, seems to work very well as an anti-air.

* New Ultra doesnt seem to connect off of orignal Ultra set ups.

* EX Snake Strike damage NERFED HEAVILY. Saw jump RH into EX Snake Strike do a fraction of the damage that it used to.

DHALSIM

* New Ultra appears to be an air grab with a lot of start up.

* Not sure of Ultras proper application but most likely useful again projectile throwing opponents.

BOXER

* Dirty Bull is a 720 Grab Ultra where he lands a head butt, steps on their foot and then knocks them out with a punch. Very similar to one of Steve Fox's move in Tekken 6.

CHUN LI

* New Ultra is Kikousho fireball, much like her super from Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike.

* New Ultra can be comboed from EX Legs from ANYWHERE on the screen.

* "Chun's new ultra is quarter circle inputs, no charge needed" - Kamano

* Apparently a solid anti air Ultra.

CODY

* Can combo into his Ultra from what appears to be an EX Tornado or FADC Tornado. Hard to tell from the stream.

* Knife seems to have incredible range -- not sure of practical applications though since he has to pick it up to use it.

DEEJAY

* New Ultra juggles his opponents with sambas.

FEI LONG

* New "1 Inch Punch" is a counter Ultra.

RYU

* Fierce shoryuken is now two hits.

HONDA

* Ultra now has way less recovery.

* 2nd Ultra is a beefy Ochio.

ZANGEIF

* Lariat seems to have nerfed damage.

GUY

* Has his chain combos from the alpha series.

* His second ultra is a very flashy Gen-type move. Think "Raging Demon with the lights on".

* Appeared to have an air grab but cant remember 100%.

DAN

* New Ultra is a "SNK Style Gadouken"

M. BISON

* New Ultra allows him to grab his opponent and blasts them with Psycho Power. Works like El Fuertes original Ultra or Alex's "Stun Gun Headbutt" from Third Strike.

VEGA

* "Vega's ultra 2 is a slide, followed by a backflip kick and then a nasty slash at the opponent as they fall" - Kamano

SAGAT

* Second Ultra is Tiger Cannon.

* Damage seems to be nerfed but hard to tell.

* Most all of his dirty set ups still seem to work (F+RH x2 etc)

ADON

* Seems very fast, but many of his moves lost to T. Hawks specials.

* Seems to have a great set of high priority normal moves.

T. HAWK

* Seemed like a real tank type character. Most of his normals did massive damage.

* A couple command grabs/super and/or Ultra and it was good night for most opponents.

* Seems to be a good character for people with poor execution but good zoning and mind games.

BLANKA

* New Ultra is "Shout of Earth" -- although it wasn't shown, it's supposedly a spin off of his Super in CVS2.

Triple posting ;o 20 new ultras
