Ultra Street Fighter IV: New Stages Revealed to be Ports From SFXT

How lazy can a company be to port over content from one game into another and release that as a new title for 2014.

Ultra Street Fighter IV was revealed during EVO 2013 the past weekend and was said to include five new characters, as well as six new stages. Surprise, four of those new characters are Hugo, Poison, Rolento, Elena; just ports over from Street Fighter x Tekken.

[Snookies12]

Hahaha, oh Capcom... Little rascals. I'll always make sure to buy any of your games used. At least until you start showing that you actually somewhat care about customers, and not treat them like money sacks.

[-Mika-]

This version of street fighter 4 isn't for you. It for the hardcore fighting game fans that play it at evo. Second, they do care about their fans or they would not continue to update street fighter 4.

[XtraTrstrL]

LoL, as long as there is easy money to be made by mainly porting characters/stages, and adding only 1-2 actual NEW characters, they'll put it out there and collect $$$$$$$. Just like they've always done.

Do you really think them making MvC3, then less than 9 months later, releasing UMvC3, that wasn't upgradeable and had to be bought again was actually fan service???

[Godlovesgamers]

So "hardcore fighting fans at evo" like to be treated like "sacks of money" then?

Im curious, do you work for capcom somehow or are you just too ignorant to see how capcom is all about the "cash grab" in lieu of putting its customers first?

[Welcome2Die]

No Mika, this version is for everyone. It has a new balanced cast and Capcom completely ignored the fan character request and instead they are cutting corners again.
This is a copy paste update, do not buy it.

[kagon01]

I will also do the same just like I did with AE edition...

[fsfsxii]

Did the fans ask for this??

[wishingW3L]

nope but many are gonna buy it anyway. That's why Capcom are like that....

[fsfsxii]

And people keep moaning.
Why the disagrees?? As i remember a couple of days ago you guys said that the "FANS ASKED FOR THIS"
I say it again, did you guys ask for rehashed character models and rehashed stages?? A useless update, and people keep defending crapcom and they keep robbing you. Gamers these days.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

As far as the balancing goes, yea they definitely asked for it. Did they really have to add """new"&qu ot;" characters? No, but of course they had to have a way to charge for the update.

[SwiftArsonist]

if u buy the dlc for 15 bucks u get the stages, the characters but not the costumes? or we get everything?

[-Mika-]

No, you only get the costumes if you buy the disc version of ultra SF4 which cost $30 or $40.

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

So in other words...Ultra Street Fighter 4 is just a patch that's not worth paying for that happens to include stages & characters you can already play as from a different Street Fighter game.

Capcom fails.

[GenericNameHere]

"Ultra Street Fighter 4 is just a $15 patch"

FIXED!

[animegamingnerd]

for once i agree with you

[caseh]

Funny how CoD can release map packs over the space of a few months that cost more than the game itself and everyone rejoices 'OMG I can't wait to get teh maps!'

Capcom add characters, stages and a re-balance to a game for the same price of a map pack in CoD and everyone condemns them.

The difference being they don't do this every 2-3 months then release a copy+paste game, add an extra digit after the name and repeat the cycle of map packs.

[XtraTrstrL]

LoL, so they ported the SFxTekken SF characters, and the stages are also ports. Wow, come one Capcom, sup wit dat?

[DarkBlood]

so reused content on another game? no thanks

[wishingW3L]

Stay classy Capcom!

[XXXL]

Friggin crapcom strikes again. Can't say I didnt expect it. Can't believe how far they've fallen

[josephayal]

heaters gonna hate, i cant wait 4 the best fighting game eva, usf4

[Sarobi]

I had no idea that heaters hate

[M-M]

@Sarobi,

It's josephayal.

[fsfsxii]

I wonder if he's a super bot

[Welcome2Die]

Okay who was the idiot that gave josephayal 5 bubbles??

[ForNgoods]

funny how no one mentioned what I consider the most important aspect of the update. forget the characters and extra stages, I want those balance changes. I swear everytime they've done a balance update in the past, all the characters i use get nerfed but according to combofiend things will be different this time. for god sake let guile have regular meter building and rose have zero frame startup on ultra 2.

[grimmweisse]

My problem is not with the update itself. It's the rather that they are using assets from another game, which seems lazy.

[Knushwood Butt]

This.

Plus, nobody likes SFXT anyway, so why recycle stages from a game that even 'teh hardcore EVO' players hate?

Don't tell me: It's all because the fans asked for it!!!

[brother_zero]

My god the endless line of bitches bitching about Capcom raping them of all their money. These updates and additional versions are for FANS. They aren't for your whining ass so don't buy them and shut the fuck up.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Eh, I don't understand people complaining. I don't suppose you buy all the SF versions.

[Disagree]

Cant say im not surprised.

[kingPoS]

Rolling over assets like prepaid minutes.

[Welcome2Die]

What was originally planned was that they were going to rebalance the game, so they asked fans for feedback. Now they are adding the characters from SFxT.
SFxT: They added most characters from SF4 to SFxT.
USF4: They added the rest of the SFxT characters to SF4.
Now SFxT might as well be renamed SF4xT.
Harada from Tekken released a poll on what characters the fans want to see the most, on the Street Fighter side, Alex,Karin and R.Mika were among the top most wanted on the SF side. Later on Capcom released another poll on what SF characters are the fans favorites. Karin,Alex and R.Mika were among the top 5 again!
These are characters that Capcom did not add to SFxT and now they had a chance to add these characters into USF4, instead they decided to cut corners and just copy/paste characters back into an older game and charge 15 dollars for it.
It is a complete disrespect to the fans, Capcom completely ignored and wasted our time.

[Griglager]

Ay yi yi. All the hate. This is nothing new from Capcom. Look at the remakes of Street Fighter II

Street Fighter II
Street Fighter II: Champion Edition
Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting
Super Street Fighter II
Super Street Fighter II Turbo
Hyper Street Fighter II (Home systems)
Super Street Fighter II HD Remix (Home Systems)

Plus considering that SFXT made nowhere near the amount of cash that IV did, it's not surprising they're gonna give us one more version. I'd much rather have Elena kicking someone's head in one-on-one that going on a stupid whispering-wind tag team journey for a box.
