Ultra Street Ultra Fighter Ultra IV Ultra!

Ultra O.K. K.O. System: Ultra Street Fighter IV is to take the classic and well-loved K.O.s from the original game, and gives them a significant boost. Now players can store up O.K. points during the fight, sacrificing power during the main combat to deliver a more spectacular finishing move, with the potential to unlock a new moustache.

Online Bathing: Favourite characters can now be taken online in an all-new multiplayer ablutions system. One of SFIV’s most popular additions to the series was the addition of character sweating, allowing B.O. attacks. In this update, that sweat can lead to fungal infections, so you have to weigh up the advantages against that, and choose whether to take them to the online baths. Those who play as Rufus are especially advised to take advantage of this.

New special moves: Joining Crimson Viper’s Ultra Combo Death Drill Practice Drill Of Death is The Sit Down. Meanwhile Seth will get a new spin, and Chun-Li adds hammers to her arsenal.

Groins: Ever more groins.

Um... okay.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Totally threadworthy

 

[ghst]

RPS is the humour equivalent of being friend zoned.

 

[geomon]

RPS, leave the jokes to someone else.

 

[Silky]

Obviously salty because PC ppl have to wait on Ultra

Thread of the year

 

[Ferrio]

Okay... did my 13 year old self write this?

 

[Rickenslacker]

Someone thought this was a good idea.

 

[Avallon]

Totally threadworthy

 

[explodet]

Okay... did my 13 year old self write this?

My current self wants to give RPS an atomic wedgie.

 

[Glass Rebel]

That's how I feel about most fighting games.

Doesn't stop me from buying them though.

 

[AAK]

I don't get it.

 

[Whompa]

slow news day

 

[The Grim Heaper]

That's trying way too hard to be funny and completely failing at it.

 

[F0rneus]

That's a horrifyingly shitty article on what is usually a great source.

 

[proccor]

Groins: Ever more groins.

Well then...

 

[Avallon]

slow news day

Slow news month.

 

[GeoGonzo]

I dislike being a hater and I mostly enjoy reading RPS but... yeah. This "article" was either too weird or simply not my kind of humour.

 

[Whompa]

Slow news month.

touche...sigh...

 

[Manbig]

The point is that it's not funny (or fun) at all.

Really odd choice from RPS, which is usually a pretty solid site.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Is this supposed to be funny? :/

 

[kick51]

maybe those kinds of antics play out in the sticks, but this is Capitol City!

 

[stuminus3]

Worth it for football in the groin gif.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

THE OP IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD

 

[Brazil]

I feel embarassed for the guy who wrote this.

 

[Het_Nkik]

Not like this, John Walker. Not like this.

 

[ghst]

I dislike being a hater and I mostly enjoy reading RPS but... yeah. This "article" was either too weird or simply not my kind of humour.

i'm guessing it's the writer poking a bit of irreverent fun at another new SFIV release which introduces a new, even more obtuse layer of mechanical complexity.

sadly, the writer has a chronic case of the unfunnies due to making a career on insipid british TF2 server humour, and the evolving systems of what is an extremely mechanically complex game is something that a PC gaming blog should show maybe show a little more interest in exploring.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Try hards...

 

[Bony Manifesto]

This sort of video game writer humour may give personality to a dry article when used sparingly, but when you read a whole block of it like that, it's really awkward and embarrassing.

 

[erpg]

 

[Off-Kilter]

Boo.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Is this supposed to be funny?

 

[Laconic]

That article is very nearly as funny as the "Summer 2014" release date.

 

[Harlock]

A subspace emissary mode would be amazing.

 

[Zia]

This is one of those things you write, and then sit at the computer all day refreshing the comments section, cringing each time you do. I know John is not very good at games and thus really isn't interested in things like this, but that's some embarrassing shit.

 

[Miker]

RPS usually (almost always) tries too hard to be funny when it comes to genres they have no interest in or know little about (read: console-oriented genres). This is just another example. Too bad, really, because it makes them look silly, while the rest of their PC-focused material is great.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

RPS stinks and I don't like it.

 

[AstroZombie]

I want my 15 seconds back

 

[lubbyluvdown]

I cannot even tell a lie. I would totally eat those bowls of clam dip. Mmm mmm mmm lickalick~

 

[Takamura-San]

was expecting next gen news...

Nothing to see here.

I cannot even tell a lie. I would totally eat those bowls of clam dip. Mmm mmm mmm lickalick~

Well, now this thread has payed back in dividends...

wtf...

 

[Huw_Dawson]

And yet they'll commission a writer specifically to get offended at Skullgirls in their review.

I'm still annoyed at that one.

 

[ReiGun]

I take it this was supposed to be a joke but...where's the funny?

 

[El Sloth]

I cannot even tell a lie. I would totally eat those bowls of clam dip. Mmm mmm mmm lickalick~

wut

This thread has me all confused

 

[bishoptl]

I cannot even tell a lie. I would totally eat those bowls of clam dip. Mmm mmm mmm lickalick~

Dude!

 

[TheThunder]

I cannot even tell a lie. I would totally eat those bowls of clam dip. Mmm mmm mmm lickalick~

The RPS article should've opened with this.

Didn't you know man? Killer Instinct is totally racist.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Geez...

 

[El Sloth]

The thirst is too real.

 

[Dachande]

I like you, RPS. But this is rubbish.
