Ultra Street Fighter IV adds five new characters to the mix, bringing the roster up to a whopping 44 brawlers. This, in tandem with the numerous character tweaks regarding frame rate edits, balancing, and other alterations to the core game make it a force to be reckoned with before factoring in the new characters, stages, and other content. Combined with Ultra Combo Double and Red Focus, that’s more than enough to make the game worth repurchasing or upgrading - especially if you ever want to play professionally or already do. Seeing as it’s nearly unpredictable enough to shake up even the most seasoned fighter, it will require even top-ranking players to rewrite their most seaworthy tactics. For example, those who have already hammered out patterns that allow them to get high and low combos to ensure their opponent has no way out will have to rethink their strategies. Its implications are quite serious for those with established play styles. It allows extra time for your character to stay on the ground after knock-downs. Lastly, Delayed Wakeup is one of the craftiest moves I’ve seen in some time. This isn’t exactly a demerit against Ultra Combo Double, but a warning: you’ll want to size up the competition when opting to take two lesser Ultras in rather than the coup de grace that is your normal Ultra Combo. Of course, for the sake of balancing, each solo Ultra has been weakened individually for players who choose to go in with both equipped. Speaking of combos, Ultra Combo Double eliminates the need to choose between two Ultra Combos, allowing players to have their cake and eat it too with both of them enabled in the midst of a brawl. It can be very useful to implement if you find yourself matched with an opponent who spams the same move over and over, or staving off an attack for the moment so you can ready an additional combo.

For this, a sizable amount of knowledge regarding the enemy’s move repertoire is almost required in order to be able to make full use of this new augment. It takes some doing to make Red Focus work for you, however, and new players will find themselves struggling to pull it off since there are plenty of reasons it may not absorb the opponent’s attack. Your fighter will flash red as they charge up a regular Focus attack, and will still be weak to Armor Breaking moves and throws, so think of it as a super-powered Focus that can get you out of a tight spot again and again.
Red Focus acts in a similar manner to that of a standard Focus attack and can be pulled off by pressing the medium kick, medium punch, and light punch buttons simultaneously, where it soaks up the brunt of damage for two EX energy bars.
