    The mechanics are great, the characters are great too but the netcode on the PC version is pathetic so far. Since the transaction from GFWL to steamworks we had this problem but when the game updated to USFIV it intensified.

    The final iteration (allegedly) of Street Fighter 4 is here! Ultra has certain issues with online play, but that will undoubtedly be addressed by Capcom in no-time. Other than that, everything that makes this franchise great is here plus the new chars & stages (although copy-pasted from SFxT), new mechanics and new tweaks.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I gotta say. Every characters all are epically awesome. Its great that they even added some more of the classic characters to this IV ultra. I truly enjoyed playing this ultra edition of the game. I will still give this a fairly high rating even though it has some bugs. Expand

    By far the best iteration of Street Fighter 4, Ultra comes with several extra characters that add a new dynamic to the game, as well as a few extra features. If you're undecided of which version to pick, this is the one!

    Whilst not as good as Super Street Fighter IV, Ultra is not a bad game at all. Could have done without the street fighter x tekken characters being shoehorned in.. feels like a forced afterthought.. like a 13 year old got hold of a hex editor and hacked in the 4 characters from sfxt. Other than that, its light years ahead of Smash Fighter V and almost 10 years older. Recommended.

    Although Ultra Street Fighter IV offers nothing significantly new or revolutionary to the series, or even the original title, it does not have any flaws either. An imperfect perfection.

    Ultra SF4 offers a good cast, all the necessary features, adequate servers, and pretty good art design.
    I understand some people hate the focus system, personally I don't mind it.

    If you need a fighting game to get your fix, this one deserves a look.

    Contentwise this is one of the best Street Fighter version ever. Has Arcade Mode, Bonus Stage, Trials and so on. Online modes are varied too and that's good to see.

    The fighting game that cemented by love of the genre and that taught me the fundamental of fighting games. Many hours into this game.

    6 new stages and 5 new characters – sounds great until you realize that ‘new’ means ‘borrowed from Street Fighter X Tekken’ (with the exception of Decapre, which is a Cammy clone with an interesting move set). [Nov 2014, p.61]

    The two-player training mode and 3v3 team battles function exactly as advertised. [Issue#253, p.75]

    Ultra Street Fighter IV is a great experience and should not be missed from the collection of any fan of fighting games.
