Ultra Street Fighter 4 Ultra Combo

The Ultra Combo (ウルトラコンボ , Urutora Konbo ^? ) is a type of move introduced in the Street Fighter Four series. It is an advanced form of Super Combo that is designed to human action every bit a "finishing move" of sorts, more so than the Super Combos.

Description [ ]

To perform an Ultra Combo, a role player must take a Revenge Approximate that is filled at least halfway, past receiving and blocking attacks. Once sufficiently filled, the motion is activated with a combination that is usually a modified Super Combo combination that involves pressing all iii punch or kick buttons at one time.

For most characters, their Ultra Combos (usually the commencement one) are stronger or advanced versions of their respective Super Combos (e.g. Akuma's Wrath of the Raging Demon); in some cases, the moves are besides reprised from earlier appearances in the serial (e.g. Cody'southward Final Devastation). In other cases, they may exist moves that the user may have but discovered (often their 2d Ultra).

Many Ultra Combos have different behaviors depending on whether or not the move connects. Generally, when a graphic symbol performs an Ultra Combo, their opponent'southward expression becomes surprised and near fearful. The cinematic animation played if an Ultra Combo connects cleanly is highly telegraphed, with appropriate camera angles to accentuate the animation. These cinematic animations are fabricated possible because of the game's transition to 3D character models. If an Ultra Combo is blocked, hits at a farther range than normally required, whiffs, or otherwise misses, it may go into a secondary beliefs which is much less telegraphed. For instance, Ryu's Metsu Shoryuken and Gouken's Shin Shoryuken become the Forbidden Shoryuken if they do not hit at point-blank range.

Tactics [ ]

Ultra Combos cannot generally be canceled into from normal or special moves, with some exceptions (e.g. Akuma's Demon Armageddon from his Ashura Senku). Ultra Combos too take more fourth dimension to startup than Super Combos, though the general startup invincibility compensates for this. As a effect, Ultra Combos are used as counter moves or in very specific juggles.

Nigh characters have the choice between a more combo-friendly Ultra Combo and a specific countering Ultra Combo designed for certain matchups, oft a projectile punish. For example, Makoto's Seichusen Godanzuki is an exceptionally powerful option that works best when Makoto is in shut range on the offensive, while Abare Tosanami's longer startup is meliorate used when Makoto is away from the opponent, where they are trying to keep her out with projectiles.

The about popular way to land Ultra Combos is canceling a continued special attack with a Focus Attack, or else simply connecting with said Focus Assail; either style, the actor can and so dash cancel and perform the Ultra Combo. However, the increased scaling from both the Focus Attack and the Ultra Philharmonic profoundly reduces the damage of these combos, encouraging shorter combos, or even risky reads for maximum impairment.

Damage [ ]

The damage of the Ultra Philharmonic is directly linked to how much of the Revenge Guess has filled up. Upon taking around 45% damage, the Revenge Gauge is one-half filled and an Ultra Combo becomes available. If left untouched, the approximate keeps increasing until the player loses 90% of his wellness, at which point the gauge becomes completely filled. Note that conditional damage still counts towards the Revenge Approximate, regardless of how much of the health was recovered, potentially assuasive for more than than i or two uses (though this is very unlikely in advanced play).

A fully charged Ultra Combo does roughly ane.5 times the damage of a one-half charged-one. For example, at 50%, Akuma's Wrath of the Raging Demon does around 340 impairment; with a full Revenge Gauge, the damage goes up to 510 HP. The damage is too affected past the overall health and the remaining health of an opponent. Ultra Combo Double lowers the base damage of both of it's user'due south attacks, which is scaled downwards from at that place depending on the same factors regular ultras are subject field besides.
