a rant

I must say I hate ultras more than I enjoy them. Simply for the fact that I lose to someone hitting a random ultra when I have a huge lead. I'm not gonna be a hipocrite and say I don't win by ultras but, the ridicullous turn arounds are pretty ridiculous, esepcially when certain characters are better than others with normals and specials, but with easier connecting ultras ontop of that ( ex rufus, ryu, not gonna go into detail) just makes it blaaah. Still, love ssf4, and I could do without the ultras. Would be interesting to have an ultra-free online mode, never gonna happen. (kinda like when you could have meter-less ex grooves in CvS2 ;D)

I enjoy the Ultras alot, if the game didn't have them it wouldn't be this much of a success. Take a look at SF3. Not many people played that game, just the hardcore crowd. Capcom made the right decision to have these things that bring casuals into the world of SF. It's Huge Now!

Thanks for posting.

Sorry to say that if you're losing to "Random" Ultras you kind of deserve it. It's all about reading your opponent and baiting them into doing what you want.

I'm not saying I don't get hit by random ultra's, but I always know why I did when it happens and grudgingly learn how to avoid it the next time.

Having ultra's in this game helps you learn to play more cautiously when you're winning and probably doesn't allow you to use same strategy.

part of the game just wished the animations weren't short movies and overly ridiculous and stupid like Akuma's roflcopter.

@Walrus-People get hit by random ultras all the time because they are "random" how do you "read" something that's random?


@infestedoreo- all the other sf didnt have ultra o.o

@sethTKP- my same response to walrus.

thanks for replying guys :D

it's not random when you know it's coming lol.

no one is going to play meterless grooves in CVS2 though but then again no one really plays the game anymore anyway.

just think of it like the near death super moves in KOF 94-96 because capcom used that idea as the foundation for ultras. always expect them and have a plan to shut it down, bait it, or avoid it.
