Ultra Street Fighter 4 is Broken

good video lil bro

I remember back in vanilla SF4 Dan had no way to FADC into his ultras so they used his legendary taunt into ultra.

Great editing and presentation. Can't help but to feel extremely nostalgic watching this.

Man...the sound design of sfiv was really freaking good.

El Fuerte just appearing is godlike

The power of Elena's cuteness made her unbeatable lol If I worked for Capcom though, I'd go back and give this one last patch, turning her Spinning Beat into an Ultra, and turn Healing into her super. She'd still be top tier but healing would now be a gamble that requires sacrificing EX moves instead of a free back pocket option she has twice per round No wonder she was able to befriend Akuma, demons recognize demons

"It can get through fireballs with the greatest of ease" You did not just slide that in man

The existence of a 3 frame HP made me let an entire clip loose into the sky.

"The very act of neutral jumping instills fear in anyone that Yun faces." I love how absurd this line is out of context.

20:24 Biglightning: "Good riddance." Elena: "And I took that personally."

Hello, old Balrog (Boxer) main here. I would like to quickly point out that 8:06 is wrong. You CAN do Dash Straight into Red Focus but ONLY with the Medium version. Medium Dash Straight had a weird change in USF4 where if it hits, you stay EXTREMELY close to your opponent, making it possible to use red focus and also allows for an extremely situational combo extension on Blanka. Now, the only other way I found to use it was with close HP and Dash Overhead (as shown in the balance patch video 9 years ago) and that's it. Otherwise, it's true. balrog's (Red) Focus is absolutely useless and super situational and that clip of PR_Balrog using it still makes me excited like a fanboy. I remember watching it live and went apeshit over it. Good video :).

The fact that DJ's standing fierce forces stand while whiffing on crouching opponents comedy incarnate.

This video screams love for the game. It sure shows how much you used to love this at its peak. I really hope El Fuerte comes back. Great video!

I’m starting to understand why almost every fights at competitive level is fought in the training room. Because it resembles the padded walls of an insane asylum 💀

We are not ready for Elena in SF6

Pointing this out because more knowledgeable people have already said it: Yun’s dominance of every version after AE did so much more to kill the game than Elena or Decapre did.

24:07 Unnecessary and irrelevant fact: Elena was doing Ryu's idle pose at the start of Seth's spinning pilediver animation

Brodi, there's not enough time in the world for the amount of compliments and praises I have for this video. Really reminds me of UMVC is Broken by TheBrunoZone in the best way possible. They way you talked about the good, the bad, the ugly, and the broken/jank in such a insightful and hilarious manner is absolutely astounding! There were so many quotes in this video I felt on a spiritual level, especially 21:07! Street Fighter in general has been a game that's made me who I am, especially SF4. It's amazing to see such dedication and love to this day, it brings absolute joy to my heart. You my wondrous brodi have gotten a subscription from me! Can't wait for your next video! Take care! ✨👍

The transition from Ken's stupid kara throw into Ultra's really got me. Simple, clever gags like that are what I appreciate, not throwing in memes at every opportunity. I may have picked it up when it first came out and never really played after, because I didn't have internet and I just didn't understand how fighting games worked back then, but finding videos and watching others like Mike Ross play the game AFTER it was already dead, got me into SFV, and eventually other fighting games. It got me waiting for Makoto to show up in SF6... the eternal pain...

Love how the last character the intro shows isn't Ken or Ryu. It's not Seth or Bison, or even Akuma. It's Elena. Because of course it is. Even the devs knew who the REAL main villain they had created was.
