Omega Mode Coming to Ultra Street Fighter IV

New normal and special attacks for each of the 44 characters coming later this year.

In a blog post, Capcom has announced the new Omega Mode for its pupular 2D fighting game Ultra Street Fighter IV. The mode modifies every character's normal and special attack.

"As the primary goal for this mode was fun, we placed more emphasis on making the characters feel new, than on their balance," Capcom said in the blog post. "This means that strong, fan favorite attacks such as Ken’s Shinppu Jinrai Kyaku and Sagat’s Tiger Raid make their return while other characters such as Zangief gain new abilities, like being able to combo into his command throws."

The changes made to Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Guile and Ken are revealed by Capcom community manager Peter "Combofiend" Rosas who posted a video.

Omega Mode will be playable online, but not in ranked matches, it will also be playable in official Capcom tournaments and the Capcom Pro Tour as they will continue to use the standard Ultra balance settings.

The Omega Mode is not included in the October 1.04 update but it is expected to arrive sometime this year.
