ULTRA STREET FIGHTER IV (PS3) Damage FAQ v1.0 By DarkDoctrine. October 2014. mmmm | <- Use a monospace font such as Courier, so that iiii | <- the two lines match up with each other ======= =Intro= ======= I've not seen this anywhere, so here's a comprehensive list of Supers and Ultra Combos, together with their hits and dmg. You probably know the deal: Ultra Combos are like supers but use up your revenge meter. Your revenge meter increases when you get hit or successfully use a focus attack. Once you've lost about 450 damage points, your meter will be half way up, and once you've lost 900 damage points, it will be full. This means that you always get to do one max ultra in a round. Below are the values for minimally (ie half way up the rage gauge) and fully charged ultras, which are around 50% higher. Others do a proportionate amount in between. As you may have noticed, Supers and Ultras do not do any stun to the opponent. However, at least they do not allow the opponent to recover back to zero during their long animations: they just keep them level like a block string would, so afterwards you can try to continue where you left off. New in USFIV is the ability to choose both ultras at once. The penalty for this is that they do 75% of their original damage (60% if you're using a grappling character). ================ =Character data= ================ These were all performed on the European version in Training Mode against Ryu. Note that each opponent has different vitality, so, for example, Ryu has 1000 energy points, while Seth has 750 and Hawk has 1150. Note that unlike games such as Alpha, or SFEX, there are not many modifications to the ultras, so mashing the buttons or timing anything or will not increase the number of hits. However, some do have alternative animations if missed or blocked.

It does 130 damage for the first 1 second of charge, and then an extra few points for every second you hold it after that, up to a match-changing maximum of 560 damage at 56 secs. Seconds | 1 2 4 8 16 24 32 40 48 56 Level | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F Damage | 130 150 180 210 250 280 410 460 510 560 As can be seen with Hakan (based on the character Darun), and Makoto, some moves are passive, and serve only to alter the properties of other moves. Every time Rose absorbs an opponent's fireball with a jab reflect, she gains 5% extra damage for her next fireball or super (as well as the first orb on her U2). This can continue for a maximum of 7 absorbs (35% extra damage) When used in combination with other moves, the game's damage scaling comes into effect. This is more severe than in most other games, favoring shorter combos. From the 3rd hit, moves lose 20% of their damage, from the 5th hit, they lose 30%, and from the 7th hit, they lose 40%, and so on. It's something close to D = 0.9^((H-2)/2), up until the 9th hit. In addition, damage is scaled down depending on how much health the opponent has. When they have 30-50% health left, you do 5% less damage. 15-30% health left: 10% less. And in the last 15%, 25% less. Another detail to note is the scaling with super and ultra combos. If you include an ultra inside a combo, then the damage will be reduced as if there was one extra hit beforehand. It's therefore best doing them as the starter if you can. Blocking a special/super takes off 25% of the regular damage. ========= =Battery= ========= Here is how much meter is charged for connecting with the following moves (or rather, how many of the moves you need to do for one level) | Attacker | Recipient | Light Middle Heavy | Light Middle Heavy Clean hit | 13 7 5 | 25 13 9 Blocked | 25 13 9 | 50 25 17 Most whiffed specials take between 6 and 13 repetitions to do the same, with a couple taking 25 reps. ========== =Strategy= ========== As you have no doubt seen, you can cancel a normal or special move into a super, but not directly into an ultra. This obviously makes sense, taking into account the damage scaling. Besides, if it was that easy to do, it would break the game. However, you can use the FA dash cancel to get one in - so if you land a jump-in or low forward, performing the EX Focus Attack on confirm will use up 2 levels on your gauge (ie half a super), but then allow you to make the next move. As a fully charged ultra typically does over 50% more than a super, it is sometimes worth it to use up everything on a mega combo if its near the end of the round and you are behind on the life bar. Coming in a future version of this document will be treatment of Juri's FSE, which can be used for CCs of around 400 pts (think V-ism). ========= =Options= ========= All the above assumes standard settings. The PlayStation 3 version is the one used at the annual Evo Championship and Tougeki SBO tournaments. ======= =Legal= ======= Contact me via the email address on: http://thesuper.angelfire.com/ To be hosted intact on gamefaqs.com This guide is for personal use only, and cannot be reproduced.
