CapCom Unity has details on plans for a version 1.04 patch coming next month
to
Ultra Street Fighter IV, their reissued brawling sequel. Here's
an Omega Mode video to
show this off, and here's word on the new mode and more on what the patch will
bring to the Windows edition:
And lastly, for our PC players, we’ve heard
the concerns you have voiced and have some fixes coming your way that should
definitely improve your online experiences. For example, we noticed that when
players were in the middle of matches, they were still getting pinged by those
outside of the match, thereby creating slowdown. We’ve fixed it so that this
will be no longer the case. Additionally, a few other connection fixes are going
in as well, all of which should reduce the connectivity issues experienced by
players.
We’re not stopping there however! In our ongoing effort to make sure that Ultra
SFIV is the greatest version of SFIV yet, we bring you a completely new,
completely free and most importantly completely fun version of your favorite 44
characters in Omega Mode!
For those wondering, Omega mode is a completely new mode in which every
character has been modified and outfitted with new normal and special attacks,
resulting in a refreshing take on the characters you’ve come to know and love
over the last six years. As the primary goal for this mode was fun, we placed
more emphasis on making the characters feel new, than on their balance. This
means that strong, fan favorite attacks such as Ken’s Shinppu Jinrai Kyaku and
Sagat’s Tiger Raid make their return while other characters such as Zangief gain
new abilities, like being able to combo into his command throws.
