Amidst the flurry of high-adrenaline tournaments during Evo213 was the release of the upcoming update of the Street Fighter franchise. Titled as Ultimate Street Fighter IV, this most recent “update” of the fighting game includes character balance changes, new battlegrounds and more importantly the inclusion of five new players into the roster.
As of release time, the four new players included would be Elena, Hugo, Poison and Rolento. Capcom has kept mum as to who the new fifth character is, but they are hyping it up as a never seen before character. Another thing that I personally am excited about is the balance update of current characters. Based on the post at Capcom-Unity, we currently have the list of changes for Chun-Li, Balrog, Dudley (yey!) and T-hawk.
Further updates will be released before release time (around 2014) and according to Capcom-Unity, you can upgrade your Super Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition to Ultra without losing your data at around 14.99 USD ( around 675 php more or less) while purchasing the game with all the current costumes for all characters released (and possibly future releases as well) at around 39.99 USD (around 1.8k PHP).
On a more personal note however, YEY DUDLEY CHANGES! 😀
