So we've heard the rumors that Super SFIV might have two Ultras. Like everyone, else, my mind's been thinking and dreaming of new Ultras for our favorites.

Btw:

There are some great ideas in this thread here: www.capcom-unity.com/street_fighter/go/t... Only thing that lacks in the thread is some kind of art to get a better visual idea. (Who knows if Capcom does read what we say. Maybe a few of us will get our wish and the Ultra we think of might be used in the game. )

I've drawn a billion ideas for new Ryu Ultras/Supers, since even before even Street Fighter 4 was announced two years ago. But this idea is probably the most tame and is definitely do-able. All it is, basically, is Ryu's Focus Attack, taken to the next level. It's his Focus Attack with a large amount of energy on his fist, bursting onto the opponents face.

^ This is Ryu's finishing move done in the Street Fighter III: Ryu Final manga. Credit goes to Nakahira Masahiko for formally inventing and drawing the move. You could also say it was  unintentionally drawn in the SFII Manga, but I doubt it's the same.

I truly believe Capcom liked Masahiko's idea so much that they put it in as Ryu's SF4 Focus Attack. A few other ideas from Masahiko's Ryu Final were incoporated into the actual canon SFIII storyline. Here's another Ryu Final to SFIV reference. (Picture)

Capcom liked it so much they put it in Capcom Fighting All Stars as Ryu's "Dramatic Finish" move. Only thing was the game got scrapped and was only tested for a small period of time..

A member from shoryuken.com who I think got to play the game said: "CFAS - Ryu has a "Fatality" MK style finishing technique. I don't think he could actually use it in gameplay at all. Ryu gets in the horse stance, charges up his ki and then unleashes a massive straight punch at his opponent. A gigantic fireball/ki blast explodes off the punch and obliterates the beaten fighter."

This video also seems to back up what he's saying: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5IZEHLEf9A

So essentially Capcom has done a version of this move with 3-D graphics, but it was unreleased. I'd love for Ryu to have this close range Ultra. Hey if I could have my way, I'd have him grab the opponent in before doing this.

So this is the idea I had for Ryu's new Ultra. What Ultras did you imagine for your favorite character? Please tell me. Definitely let me know and post up any artwork if you want, to help explain your idea.

Kaze no Kobushi!
