I think Ultra was an experiment as well, given how many more buffs than nerfs were given out in general.
The only downside is characters can get Jeffryed (VF5- he was too strong in R, they nerfed him while buffing most of the rest of the cast up to his old level, leaving him bottom tier)
As for Omega mode, if I felt it was a waste of resources I'd be upset, but I'm assuming it's a side project from folks who didn't have much to do. It's not like those folks would be able to fix the netcode.

Omega mode is probably the result of the developers having fun with the engine, so there's not really anything wrong there.
Most PC players are going to be sore over this, but the PC port studio is not the same team who work on features like this.
Who knows - this might end up being a really fun tournament side game or something.
Also the new Tekken character has Dampierre's trousers.

This is the first I've seen of the Omega presentation, and I only saw/read the Omega thread some hours ago. This is really going to put some life into the game for me at least, still haven't even picked up the game yet.
Don't know if I picked that up correctly, but it sounded like they said that the uppercut move that knocked Sagat up with both hands from Blanka was a SRK-motion move.
EX Blanka Ball either lets you follow up with a regular one off the juggle, or it's all one move. This looks so crazy and fun.

I said in the main thread with the Combofiend demonstration video that I couldn't wait to piss people off even more with Blanka even before seeing this, and my prayers were answered.
A teleporting Blanka. Thank you Capcom, I'm picking up USF4 as soon as this DLC drops. This has to be the most fun thing you done for all of the last and current generation, even better than Edition Select. Now I really, really can not wait to see the rest of the characters.
Screw the haters. The ridiculousness of it would make me want to watch USF4 matches, even without Daigo in them.
omega looks like capcom beat the mod community to a rainbow edition.
we already saw the ken kicks from before.
so we probably already seen onis moveset.
looks fun , like they understand this will could of be a faster paced game.
and extra incentive to get it on pc now.
next level better get on with some pc stations.

Should had anounced omega edition with a ps4/xbone port.
I think its dumb and cool at the same time. Mostly dumb.
But guess we can't call free stuff dumb and and if you dont like something you are a hater
But for reals, ill play it. But am hoping more for a patch to fix the hitboxes and make the pc/ps3 online better.

Omega isn't going to be on console?

I am mostly just worried about Capcom entering the current generation. I wonder if/when it will happen. The company is in a rather sorry state these days, and I am concerned about their future. Another Street Fighter update makes me wonder if they are actually working on a present-gen fighting game.

I have no idea why they haven't announced One/PS4 ports yet. They seem to be wanting to prolong the life of this game, and that's the way to do it.

just realized we saw some of this stuff already when someone mined the data off the Ultra update and found the Chun & Ken supers from Third Strike in there.
I do kinda like the idea that Ken no longer throws fireballs, he kicks them. I mean, the delineation between him and Ryu has already been really apparent for awhile now, but that further solidifies it.

Looks like an internal game jam got into the game actual. Always fun to break a game to make it completely different. (that's how I got my break in development) I wish Sim's drills could combo easily in the game proper but love the air juggle properties and air combos.
Omega also works for the community and might give them insight on their next project.

Osmegma Edition
Third on-stream match for Marvel at GUTS starts now: http://www.twitch.tv/nycfurby
PR lip service gonna PR lip service.
The good thing about this Omega news is that at least Capcom didn't over hype it.

Yeah, it's clear you're over thinking this.

what was even the point of omega sf4? Just so ppl can do some random stuff in street fighter with modding it?
Also what was up with tokido's stick? He just has an extra jab/up button? Is there a pic of it?

it looks like pros are going the hybrid stick/hitbox route. In 10 years everybody gonna be playing on hit boxes with like 30 buttons lol.
I read the 1.04 announcement and at least they're doing bug/balance fixes. Wouldve been dissapointed if all they were doing was omega mode

probably select button plinking?
To give players something fun to mess around with, regardless if you're a competitive player or not.
It's like adding boss versions for characters in other fighting games.
So he can U2 with a plink and not leave standing I think.

looks like bug fixes with some slight balance changes. Said stuff like fixing rolento, cody light ruffian kick, etc.
I thought they were releasing it without doing balancing so I was like what a waste till I read the capcom unity announcement

It looks more fun than Edition Select
So maybe there actually will be side tournaments for this game

Yup. Sf4: omega hyper bullshit rainbow edition should be a ton of fun precisely because it won't be a serious game. Nice to see they're considering minor balance/quality of life changes in addition to bug fixes.
Edition select wasn't serious either and that gained almost no traction.
the only time where S+++,S++,S+,S, S-, S--, S--- are legit ranks in a tier list.

Well, that was essentially DOA once people found out you couldn't take it online though, right?
this goes into endless battle just fine. In fact - doesn't this just essentially mean Edition Select entire is now online enabled?

I REALLY hope these PC fixes mean I can go online with this reliably again.
I mean, I'm going to get my ass wrecked regardless, but it'd be nice for the experience to be somewhat smooth.
Curious as to what Omega Poison plays like.
yeah Zhi says he uses his left thumb to plink up while doing a dp motion to get the FADC U2.

You can not like something just fine.
People saying that this is a waste of time and saying that it takes resources away from patches and balances (which are coming with this anyways) and hating it for whatever reason are silly though. It's free, separate, and clearly meant for the fun of things. It's not a forced change.
The general reception to USF4 was that it was stale and felt rushed - Capcom are fixing the problems AND adding things to bring it to life. You have others that would rather them leave the game die and continue onto SF5. Guess what, they're definitely working on that already regardless.
Different audiences- usf4 was there for competition, e select just added old bs to it. This hits more of a troll/casual/marvel crowd.

Every year
I suspect devs will adjust to this and either hard lock controls, or make motions so easy that it won't matter that much, or both.
Mike Z is ahead of the curve here, he's been designing stuff to foil controls like this.

Why isn't that a regular blanka move, why doesn't he have a move where digs through the ground like an animal. Just make it super unsafe or something .
A port to PS4 would be a cash grab- or maybe they think not enough folks would jump on it to be worth the effort (though they have a PC version so you could port from that).
Another possibility- they're worried their next fighter might not catch the same lightning SF4 did, and are afraid a SF4 port would cannabilize sales. Might hurt if they're trying to build a new franchise.
I wonder if SNK was thinking the same thing with the UM games- a bit afraid that Americans especially would reject XIII on PC if they released the UMs too early. Then again, comparing SNK to Capcom in terms of thinking is like comparing TNA to WWE.
