How do you play when your opponent has an Ultra?  You are undeniably limited in what you can do.  Do you want to limit that even more?  In every case, I can see smart players just turtling, what other option do you have?

Uh, the same options you have against every other attack in the game?

If all you can do when your opponents ultra meter is full is turtle, you're not very good.

Is your response to fireball spam also to sit there and block till you get chipped to death?

I know this is probably quite unlikely but would it be possible for Ultra 2 to be some kindof a custom combo? Like those in the Alpha series? I know absolutely nothing has even come close to suggesting that but just a thought. :)

It damn well better not be.  That was the single most broken system ever introduced into SF.

Unless your option is 100% safe, it is a gamble.  It is not worth utilizing these gambles when someone has their Ultra in Street Fighter IV, you can easily get punished.  Both of their Ultras are going to be different, meaing they are going to cover a different area.  It only limits what you can do.

Again, this isn't damage from a Shinkuu Hadouken from MvC2.  This stuff does half your health, and generally decides the match more than not.

Some characters current Ultras arent as useful as others like Fei Long, Honda, Vega, Akuma so having another Ultra to chose from wouldnt be a bad idea to me.

In this way, yes, you would want them to have two since their other is bad.

In actuality, their Ultras should be rebalanced to be good instead of giving everyone two at once.  Thats what I think.

Got this from SRK--not saying this is the real deal, but it looks like in the first shot of this pic, Ryu pulling off the Shin-Shoryuken.

Shin-Shoryuken.

Thanks to SmegHead.

However, from what the videos have been showing, it shows on screen during gameplay what you're using. Ultra I or Ultra II. So if they give Ryu an Shin Shoryuken Ultra, we already know ppl are now going to try and keep their distance and probably just spam like crazy with projectiles.

Having 2 ultra's means anything at anytime. You never know what the heck is gonna come out in Marvel vs Capcom 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter vs X-Men and ect... And that make's it FUN. It also makes gamers want to think and strategize smarter.

You should know what Ultra your opponent has.

When you bring up games like Alpha, VS. series, etc, those are Supers.  An Ultra can easily take off half your health in this game.  Look at how much damage they do and tell me you want each character to have several options for an Ultra each round.

Again, your real only defense would be to turtle and wait.

 

Not all Ultras can easily take half your health (I play Gen). When my opponent has an ultra I continue to play my game. Most of the time if you can't make it happen against me you're not going to get it. Anyways, I already have 2 supers and two ultras available to me. So many options. Everyone else is predictable. Less predicability makes for a more exciting *FIGHT*. That's the problem with most players *IMO*. Too scared to fight. Learn your character!
