« Ask Capcom: Blind Select Ultras in Super Street Fighter 4 »

Capcom Unity has a forum, appropriately called Ask Capcom, where readers ask questions and sometimes Capcom staffers answer them. IPW will post the more interesting q&as for your convenience.

Question:

I was wondering Seth how the blind select ultras will work. I'm a little bit skeptical of it, because I don't think it's necessarry. The purpose of these new ultras are for players to adapt to a play style of their liking, making them blind sort of disputes that. Will that apply to player matches as well? I think that only the character select should be blind and you get to select your ultra after you see what character your opponent picked.

Seth Killian's Reply:

I hear where you're coming from, but blind-select means just that--you choose your stuff and go into the match blind.  No forewarning about who you're up against, or what Ultra they're using.

If blind-select is not your cup of tea, try player matches, or head to the "Endless Battle" mode with some friends (aka "lobbies").
