« CES: SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4 LAS VEGAS FIGHT CLUB WRAP UP »

So, most of you probably caught the live stream of the Las Vegas Fight Club hosted by CAPCOM and saw many of the new features in Super Street Fighter 4. Although obviously not everything was revealed, I wanted to create a list of what we were able to pick out as being new and/or changed from the original version of the game. If I happen to miss anything here please let me know in the comments!

Recorded video of the event showcasing some of the new Ultras.

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.

Juri's "teleport" move you noted here is probably just her counters. They were mentioned a while ago. One button puts her in front of the enemy, one puts her behind them, and one puts her in the air above them.

Surprised Sagat info isn't present.

January 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterWrenn

I watched all the Sagat play and didnt really notice anything. I could say his damage was nerfed but not 100% sure.

January 7, 2010 | Registered Commenterhaunts

dirty bull is a 360 not 720

January 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLucien

Yeah, not much real concrete that showed up with Sagat

couple more things to add:
Chun's new ultra is quarter circle inputs, no charge needed
Bison's ultra 2 looks like a grab?
Honda's ultra 2 - grab, orochi into buttslam animation
Rufus' new ultra doesn't seem to have much that can combo into it. Most if not all his current ultra setups didn't work
Vega's ultra 2 is a slide, followed by a backflip kick and then a nasty slash at the opponent as they fall

January 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKamano

Honda's new ultra is a Giant Oichi throw. That has to be way more useful than his current one.

January 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBigApple3AM

Oh and Cammy's new ultra is a counter, as is Juri's ultra that we'd been seeing before apparently

January 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKamano

I was also taking notes during the stream. I've posted what I saw at shoryuken: http://www.shoryuken.com/entry.php?b=139

January 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMrValdez

Lucien,

It's 720.

January 7, 2010 | Registered Commenterhaunts

Mr Valdez,

Thats awesome! I added a link to it in our article - thanks for the heads up.

January 7, 2010 | Registered Commenterhaunts

@haunts, thanks for linking. :)

January 7, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMrValdez

I was laughing because my friend wanted to see Guile's really bad but it got stuffed... TWICE. =P

@Haunts It was hard to tell but I think Bison's started with a scissor kick before the grab? Is Fei Long's counter as well?

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBleh

@Haunts N/M about Fei's. WHOOOPS!!!

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBleh

@Haunts A character that was missed was Blanka's "Shout of Earth" I believe. Didn't get to see what it does because the Rufus player wasn't letting him do it. >=(

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBleh

N/M again you guys are on top of it this week =).

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBleh

Thanks Bleh, I forgot about Blanka. I didnt see it either but I hear it's similar to his CVS2 super?

January 8, 2010 | Registered Commenterhaunts

no infos about Ken's gameplay? =(

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMe

I didnt see anyone play Ken all night honestly.

January 8, 2010 | Registered Commenterhaunts

Cross posting from another site, some of my thoughts:

1) Cant see any Boxer player using Dirty Bull. I personally think it looks cool but why would you use it when you have the old faithful off the headbutt? Seems like a waste for him.

2) On the other hand, cant see Chun Li players using the original Ultra anymore. With the new one being QCF motions, anti air and able to combo anywhere on the screen from EX Legs, why would you go for a charge Ultra?

3) Didnt see Tiger Cannon, but a Fireball Ultra for Sagat is going to make him even worse than he is now. For fights agains characters like Dhalsim, I can see something like that coming in real handy. I guess start up and where it hits is a big issue of course.

4) Apparently Gouken has the Denjin hadouken - wtf? If its a TRUE 5 hit Denjin how the hell can anyone get away from it outside of teleport characters? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

5) Guy looks poorly animated/unfinished in my eyes. Dosent seem to have a lot of flash and or flavor so I dont know.

6) Cody on the other hand looks great. I think I will seriously end up learning him because he will be a super sleeper character, esp for online noobs who will probably think he is worthless.

7) I can see Juri with her Custom Combos being almost gamebreaking in the right hands. Sure, Yun took damage like a bitch too in 3s, but it didnt matter when he activated. She also appears to have a lot of tricky overheads/cross ups/dive kicks or whatever else you want to call it. I think one throw (untechable) activate CC and it's GG in the hands of a skilled player.

8) COUNTER ULTRAS ARE RETARDED! I dont know what Capcom is thinking. Why give counter Ultras to character who have shitty regular Ultras to begin with? They never work out, huge risk/reqrd where you blow all your meter in the hopes that your opponent throws out a move. Sure, counters are fine for specials but not for ultras/supers! Having to bait out moves is NOT A SOLID GAMEPLAN! Lets hope their regular Ultras are beefed up a little bit to make up for this.

January 8, 2010 | Registered Commenterhaunts

Shitty noob players which spam SRK destroyd the glory of Ken and everybody hates him -.-

BTW Can't wait to see the Denjin

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMe

some good points

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterprofessorlester

Why no Sakura ultra videos?

Why can't I back the right horse, ever? :3

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMcBradders

in one of the videos out there, it showed gouken's denjin fireball being blocked. maybe the denjin is just for a quick dizzy or something like ryu's denjin in 3s.

and i think balrog finishes the combo with an elbow, not a punch. so his ultra is all the illegal moves in boxing excluding a low blow (that would be funny to see).

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered Commentersoevil

so let me get this straight, a counter ultra doesnt work UNLESS they are going to hit you, so if they are just standing there not blocking it doesnt do anything? that isnt good for us fei users seeing as his first ultra is hard enough to pull off.

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDawkness23

Just thought I'd fill some of your list there, links to support.

Gouken: Denjin Hadouken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyyAkgsBYS4 (visible at 1:14 )
Rose: Soul Satellite (Can't find a link at the moment, was at one point on the stream though we barely saw it actually move as it happened at the end of the match.

Hope this is helpful to you Haunts! Keep up your highly pimpin' work.

January 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChrIsis

@Haunts

No love for the Vega ultra? Man I loved that. Hopefully its a charge B>f>b>f kicks. That would be great to FADC and land into it like chuns. Hope it can go through fireballs or take at least 1 hit. Also Haunts and everyone on the net, it seemed to me that the ultra took about 50% damage. That's BEAST for Vega!
