Here is some new info for the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter IV including a new mechanic to the existing formula!
The next edition of Street Fighter IV will be first released through Japanese arcades on the NESiCAxLive digital download platform. Months following, but before EVO 2014, players in North America and Europe will be able to download Ultra on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
In an interview with Famitsu, producer Koichi Sugiyama and assistant producer Tomoaki Ayano talk about the new mechanics as well as announcing delayed wakeup. Sugiyama mentioned that delayed wakeup would serve as "a counter-strategy to difficult-to-guard wake-up offense." Ayano expressed that they want to see feedback from the tests to know what needs to be considered.
For those in Japan from Nov. 22 to 24, you can also test out Ultra in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sendai and Sapporo. For more information behind the location test areas as well as the interview with both Sugiyama and Ayano, please check out the translated piece here!
