I think it’s a counter ultra,not a grab,I could be wrong but that’s what I heard
That bit of news was false. You can check Capcom’s latest vid showcasing the new supers/ultras. Ryu just stands in front of her, oblivious to the event that will prevent him from ever becoming a family man. Better not lose to Guile from now on, could get awkward.
Is it a grab? cuz that can be very…interesting…rekka rekka ultra 2…uhm
Or Ryu’s slow but painful Metsu Shoryuken effect.
I always loved how Akuma looks like he is telling Ryu “Y’know what? No. I’m not even going to give you the satisfaction of me looking hurt.” and just takes it on the chin like a champ
Spoiler
And Cody just looked annoyed like it doesn’t even hurt just pisses him off he has to go through the rest of the cinematic to get back to the fight.
Spoiler
Akuma always looks like his incontinence is going to get the better of him any moment.
No Ultra for EVO2014 :sad: :sad: what a shame but oh well.
I’m sure it will at least be there as a beta for people to play it.
^When was that announced?
Django is awesome particularly some of the solo improvisations, nice avatar.
I was at the Osaka test.
It was pretty glitchy, but that’s normal for the first round of location testing.
Playing against Hugo actually causes the game to stutter and lag a bit. That guy is just too damn big.
Elena’s MK spinny leg kick thing LOSES meter on whiff. Also make sure you’ve got one bar of ex saved if you are a turtling charge character, I had one guy try to heal twice from across the screen in one round while running the clock down. I really think she should only be able to use healing ultra once a round.
How does the healing ultra work exactly? Does it start to heal instantly or is there a delay? How quick is the healing once it gets started? Is she vulnerable for a brief period of time once the healing is complete or does she recover instantly?
There is a delay, it feels quite long and she is very hittable during the animation. I saw a guy heal just over a third when using heal as a single ultra.
Startup is slow, but once it starts she gains health pretty quick.
Did anyone mention if it’s cancelable?
About 6 minutes into this video they talk about USFIV and say the release date is on EVO weekend (July 11-13).

I think our only hope now is if they release the digital version a month before or so, but it seems like we won’t see it on the big stage as of now.
And yeah Django is too godlike.
It would be really shitty if AE 2012 was the version at EVO again next year…
I heard Healing gives back more health the longer you hold down the buttons. So when you start the ultra does it give you x amount back immediately, and then progressively gives you more? Or does it start at 0 and only gives you health according to how long the buttons are held down? If it’s the latter, I can’t imagine it being used outside of low level Elena play. The top ranks of Street Fighter would feast on that for free damage. If it gives you say 200-300 health back from the first healing frame, and only gives you x amount of health p/s, I could see it potentially being used since it could give just enough of an edge if you’re surviving on low health/magic pixel.
I just feel like Healing will turn out to be one of those things that is great on paper but effectively useless in action.
Healing looked pretty darn fast in one of the videos. You could probably SRK xx FADC backwards into full healing, or do it after Super.
Best case scenario to use healing would probably be to do it after her throw since it sends the opponent a good distance away from her and causes a hard knockdown.
I don’t know if her throw leaves them grounded for long enough to heal fully though.
