Ultra Street Fighter® IV

Ultra Street Fighter IV is more than just a content-rich update—it’s the definitive version of one of the most iconic fighting games of all time. Capcom took the near-perfect framework of Street Fighter IV and honed it to a razor's edge, adding enough new features and fighters to reignite excitement for both veterans and newcomers alike. Combat in Ultra is lightning-quick, fluid, and deeply satisfying. The addition of Red Focus Attacks, Delayed Wakeups, and the ability to select both Ultra Combos (thanks to the new Ultra Combo Double system) adds a rich strategic layer that balances risk and reward beautifully. These tweaks may seem subtle on the surface but completely transform matchups at higher levels of play. Each character feels distinct, with unique quirks and playstyles. The game rewards technical skill and timing, but it also gives beginners enough tools to learn the ropes. There's a noticeable emphasis on footsies, spacing, and mind games—a welcome return to form for purists. Ultra introduces five new characters: Elena, Rolento, Poison, Hugo, and the all-new Decapre. While most are returning faces from other Capcom titles, Decapre stands out as a unique spin on the Cammy archetype, bringing a darker tone and mix-up-heavy playstyle. The new characters are well-integrated, although balance purists may raise eyebrows at a few matchups that feel slightly skewed. The new stages are visually striking, though some reuses from Street Fighter X Tekken feel more functional than inspired. Still, the enhanced environments help give the game a bit more personality, especially in chaotic matches. Visually, Ultra retains the bold, ink-brushed style that defined SFIV, which still holds up well today. It might not dazzle compared to newer fighters, but the clean animations and dramatic camera angles during Ultras still deliver hype. The soundtrack remains punchy, with character themes and stage tracks that heighten the intensity of every round. Online functionality is solid, with improved netcode and robust matchmaking options. Endless Battles, Tournaments, and Replay Sharing offer long-term value. Capcom also included an “Edition Select” mode, letting players pick versions of characters from previous SFIV iterations—a nostalgic and fun twist for long-time fans. Ultra Street Fighter IV is both a love letter to traditional fighting games and a masterclass in iterative design. It takes what worked, polishes it further, and adds enough new flavor to keep things fresh. Whether you’re grinding for your next ranked win or just button-mashing with friends, Ultra is a timeless experience that still packs a punch. If you're looking for a fighter with depth, style, and an enduring competitive scene, Ultra Street Fighter IV remains a top-tier contender—even years after its release. Rating: 9/10

This game isn't for everyone. You're basically learning all combo and move set for all characters. You're newbie playing for online match? You're get slaughtered by your opponent in no time. And most of difficult case is using your character finisher or ultimate, that waste your time as your opponent already defeat you in the blink. And why Capcom not discount the price of other DLC costume packs in this game? Years already passed and still not discount that other 3 DLC costume packs? I rather buy other games on steam rather than spending it on DLC Packs that still not discount the price. FFS you can buy lots of game on steam with that money.

i used to play this game on the xbox360 i had a lot of fun with it and its still good

I’ve been a casual street fighter fan for over a decade and a pretty serious fan for about half that. This game has always been my favorite in the series for a number of reasons, the gameplay is responsive and tactile, your moves just feel like they have “weight” behind them, the game is just beautiful artistically, and has an awesome soundtrack to boot. I can really appreciate the low skill floor and high skill ceiling. I’m still pretty bad at the game even after all this time but I am getting steadily better through practice. It can be a bit discouraging to get dunked on at first but once you get the hang of things it feels so dang rewarding to actually pull of a victory against an opponent who stomped you before. That being said it would be unfair to not mention that…well the game can feel a bit unfair at times, but that’s inherent to fighting games in general and especially street fighter. However for every offense there is a defense and most of the time i could quite easily see that my loss was preventable if I had made different choices. But overall this is a solid recommendation from me especially the ultra version which has so much extra content it’s nuts. Your far better off buying this game over sfv. And to anyone entering the genre or wanting something new this is and will likely always be my go to recommendation for them.

best game ever get it it is worth it and you will love it playing vs ur friends and family!

bought the game bc i thought it looked fun, played it, everyone called me a gooner. 10/10.

Okay so this game is lit but because this is 2025 and not 2014 no one plays this anymore counterpoint, the people that are online will kick your fucking ass 10/10

Street Fighter IV on the Xbox 360 started my FGC career, and coming back to it on PC has been nothing but a fun time... even if I'm still bad.

Good game, Ultra characters kinda suck tho

Played this game back in the day on the Xbox 360. I was the only kid who knew how to input specials so I beat everyone. Although SFIV is outdated now, it's still pretty fun and itched that nostalgia for me.

Positive: Street Fighter IV has a stacked roster (biggest character variety in its franchise) and the gameplay is extremely technical (combat in SFIV leans defensive more than offensive) but is still as engaging as it can be for a fighting game. Critical: This game is not that accessible. Do not get this game unless you're ready to play mostly against the computer or have another patient human who is invested enough and willing to play with you. The reason I say its not that accessible is mainly because of the input timing and online mode. It will take a copious amount of time 2025 to find a online player who won't kick you or isn't afk and sometimes you won't even detect any available players when you matchmake. The commands of some moves are very hard to do since the timing between inputs are extremely strict, get ready to input commands and combos seemingly correctly but your character does not register your inputs or end up performing the wrong move. Street Fighter IV is easy to understand and hard to master. Just cause its easy to understand does not mean its fit for a casual. I can only recommend to somebody who is okay with getting sweaty and has lots of time to invest in training mode on a aged game like this. If you can do all that then it CAN be fun.

Only street fighter you need to play, everything else has to play catch up. The characters also look like they're supposed too. Street Fighter 6's realism shit is retarded, the fans would HATE that game if it didn't have a character creator.

very funny game cuz the bastards that have the starting letter "s" are busted

After playing SF5 and SF6 I think it has unique art style that really attach tome

Definitely the best Fighting game to start on!

The hardest of the new ones but, the most satisfying by far

best street fighter game, no doubt

very fun fighting game, highly reccomend 9.5/10

The standard for all PvP fighting games, whether they came before or after this absolute Japanese gem. No retarded out-of-place DLC (it's all cosmetic), no season pass, no hand-holding, yet friendly accommodating and welcoming to those who want in to this pool of discipline, fun, and worldwide engagement. Going on nearly 20 years since release and the community is still strong, still growing and just as supportive and god-awful as they ought to be. This game will outlast SF 5, SF 6, 7, 8,9....112, 113 etc. I bet my life on it. I been complemented, trolled, smashed, absolutely bodied by different players with different dialects from every corner of the globe, and have a very long list of online, world-wide victims I murked myself (while donning Mask and Claw), and wouldn't trade in a second of it. I'm serious doggy, this is it. The crowning jewel of Capcom (and all other) fighting games. Mortal what? Mortal Kombat who? Fucking Leatherface and Batman??? Fuck outta here. Be a real man, or woman, and jump into something real. something serious. Something worthwhile. I'll end with this, which I consider to be the greatest praise of any competitive engagement, virtual or reality: In USF4, when you lose, when you win, when you draw...it's 100% because of that MFer you see in the mirror. Every time. NOOOO EXCEPTIONS. You ready for that responsibility, that level of accountability? That feeling of Godhood? Well...the add to cart button is right there, son. Your move.

THIS GAME RUNS GREAT ON STEAM DECK! ITS SUPPORTED FOR SURE!
