Capcom has revealed that the Ultra Street Fighter IV patch 1.04 will be coming out shortly after the Capcom cup this December 13th, and will bring with it some character balancing, support for the DLC animal costumes, Omega Mode and more.
Of course the biggest change coming in the Ultra Street Fighter IV patch 1.04 is Omega Mode, which completely changes the movesets of all 44 characters in the game and gives them a power boost. If any one character had their Omega stats and moves while the rest of the cast didn’t they would be considered broken but because both players need to be playing Omega Mode, it offers it own sense of balancing.
It should be stressed though that Capcom have stated that Omega Mode is based more around being fun not balances so you’ll only be able to play it online in unranked matches, and official Capcom tournaments will be using Ultra mode.
Here’s the full list of features that Capcom have revealed for the Ultra Street Fighter IV patch 1.04:
- Edition Select Online
“Street Fighter IV Now players will be able to test out their favorite dream matches against all challengers across the globe. For the uninitiated, Edition Select allows players to pick any version of their favorite character from any version of SFIV that they’ve been in, balance and all. We’ve also added icons per version so that players will be able to adjust their strategies that much quicker. Which character is the strongest? Pick your best fighter and go online* to find out. I’m sure an army of Vanilla SFIV Sagats and AE Yuns will be waiting for you.”
- New Training Mode Trials
“Take your game to the next level as you try to complete all the fun and challenging trials for Yun, Yang, Oni, Evil Ryu, Hugo, Elena, Decapre, Poison and Rolento! In addition to trails for these characters, you’ll also find updates for characters whose USFIV battle balance changes made a few of their previous trials no longer possible. Once you master these trials, take your newfound skills online and style on the competition.”
- Omega Mode Online
“Are you ready to experience your favorite SFIV characters re-imagined in the all new Omega Mode*? Every character has been given new specials, as well as adjustments on their normal attacks to make them that much more fun and hype. Once you get a feel for them, take them for a spin online and see what others have cooked up with their favorite characters.”
- Updated Battle Balance
“We’ve heard your requests throughout the year and have made some changes to the cast, with the ultimate goal of making everyone viable *cough DeeJay cough cough*. “
- Bug Fixes
“Both the Vega and Yun bugs will addressed and fixed in this patch.”
- Compatibility files for the Wild costumes
“Compatibility files will also be added allowing players to be able to use the Wild costumes immediately after purchase.”
