Ultra Street Fighter IV's free Omega Edition update will be bringing with it a whole host of new bits and bobs to Capcom's ever-evolving fighting game, with Omega Edition versions of all 44 characters, which includes the return of Street Fighter III: Third Strike's parry system.

Omega Edition will include a new Hanagashi move for Ryu, enabling him to parry moves in an SF III stylee, following up with another move by expending a cell of his EX meter. Chun-Li gets her Houyuku-Sen move from SF III too, using up two bars of EX meter for a multi-hit move. She also gets the Hakkei move to nullify projectiles.

Ken's Shippu Jinraikyaku and Reppu Hadoken will also be new to the game, alongside new moves for E. Honda, Guile, Zangief, Blanka and Dhalsim. You can get more specifics over at Capcom-Unity. Ultra Street Fighter IV's Omega Edition update will be available for free in the near future, bringing the number of selectable character editions to six.

  • i dont see the appeal of paying for an updated game
  • @1..... Quote: FREE Omega Edition update
  • @ everyone ive failed i know :(
  • i dont see the parrying being a hit with online gameplay as i remember back in the day on original xbox with 3rd strike the online gampeplay made it almost impossible to use
  • I understood some of these words.
  • Good god have all the developers at this place forgotten how to count to 5, oh well atleast they can count higher then valve.
  • YES!!!! I LOVED 3rd strikes parry system, miles better than the focus one, way more fun too!
  • @6 why make SF5 when SF4 is still making tons of money and is being played all over the world.
  • @4 That's lovely because I believe this mode is offline only. Edition select is an offline only feature, anyway.
  • This mode is online and offline, not in ranked though. I believe the parry is exclusive to Ryu. All characters are getting updated as well.
  • Luvved SF IV but ffs just make a new game eh?!
  • Great idea. Make Ryu even stronger. When I read the title I thought parries would be made available to everyone like TS. SF5 better feature full cast parrying or I'm just going to go back to TS I guess.
  • How about fixing the retarded 4v4 team battle achievement from Ultra that is basically unobtainable legit because nobody plays the damn mode
  • @12 bye
  • Did I just upset a Ryu user? :D
  • so you need to download ultra edition to get the update? or do you just need the base game of super street fighter 4? i think this is even more of a reason to get ultra now (besides wanting to play as rolento and poison)to get the fighters new moves. the online features do not matter much to me because i dont play fighting games online much at all. i like em but i just suck at most of them.
