The problems with Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers 

I have this game, but I was disappointed when I found out there were no bonus rounds. What's the point of fighting E Honda if you can't fight A Honda afterwards?

1 year after this review and everything you said came true.

I don't think it was any challenge to adapt the hitboxes since they didn't change the characters' art, only redrew it upscaled. The big problem is that they had to keep the choppy animation and it's is VERY noticeable with that level of detail. A proper upgrade would require new animation frames but that would demand new hitboxes.

no idea why there's so many dislikes all your points were very valid, I agree with you tbh.

When this video opened with “Irreconcilably” I knew it was gonna be great What a badass track

Here's one HUGE HUGE flaw all these years after release. No old mode characters, no old ST like mode. No turbo feature at all. Both "new" characters were just reskins. Also no bonus stage was just a shame I'd rather take a Hyper Fighting port.

I remember that even on that Neo-Geo Pocket Color SNK vs. Capcom fighting game, they gave Evil Ryu a different stance from Ryu. Every character pretty much only had one color in their design outside of black and white, but they still managed to make Evil Ryu not just be a palette swap. Yet, in this game, they apparently can't do that.

I think they should have put Evil Ryu, Violent Ken, and Akuma into their own separate playmode separate from the main cast. Basically a broken character mode for fun, and put in a few broken versions of other characters as well. Like Shin Bison for instance, and perhaps versions of Chun, Guile, and Gief that reference Shadow Lady, Shadow and Mech Zangief. That would have added something actually new to the game without flooding online play with broken characters.

Why does this have no many dislikes he makes good points

6:56 exclusivity kills, they literally have a chance to make money off this beast of a game and they blow it on making it a switch exclusive, which at this time of writing, is very hard to come across

Bison's EX theme FTW! ;-)

look like he was right c: I don't see this shit anywhere

I'm from the future. You nailed it.

This is worse than a TvC situation, because TvC was a really fun and unique new exclusive title, while USF2 is a slight update to an old game featuring gameplay changes (like throw breaks) that nobody in the ST player base was asking for.

Wow these salty dislikes. Literally EVERYTHING he said is true. Its actually bizarre how fair and honest this video actually is. I guess the truth hurts.

Also accessing the older characters of the game meant you got to play their buffed variant, But without a super bar since the older version didn't have a super bar in that game. Was good for balance.

As an old Street Fighter 2 fan who grew playing this back in the arcades when I was little I love the new look and changes plus you can play as the old look as well.

I loved HD remix to me the update was a nice touch. The music remix was good too. I'm surprised people didn't like it. This version is good for Nintendo people who can't get SF5 and missed out on HD remix. They should had just kept the music from that game because the remix from this one is pretty bad.

long time Street fighter fan here. I felt the same way when I played the HD Remix on XBox360. I couldn't pin point it at the time but I could tell a couple of things on the new sprites was off. it's definitely the hit boxes. I also don't like the HD versions. Chun-li eyes seem to have an awful eyeliner makeup job and Ryu looks like he has cat whiskers for some reason. also (atleast for the XB360) switching to the classic sprites didn't work too well either. the stages stayed HD and the charters looked stretched and extremely pixelized.

mano eu tô jogando sfv e eu comprei a roupa alternativa do ken, e eu vi q tem como mudar ela com um código, vc sabe como faz?

how can I download this game for my pc? which emulator or apk?

It's weird that all the wonderful artists working at Capcom couldn't add some sprites to ERyu and VKen, and couldn't be bothered to fix some of the more terrible Udon sprite frames. Look at the amazing uprezzed character select/VS art, an artist(s) did that. They couldn't touch up the sprites? Dropping the O. characters is terrible as well. They could have and should have made this the ultimate SSF2 game, but it looks like dumpware cashing in on old people nostalgia

I knew I would be disappointed with this. They should've put energy into another revamp of Street Fighter 3. Or Darkstalkers 4. Or Power Stone 3. Or Capcom vs SNK 3. Or Star Gladiator 2. Or Tech Romancer 2. Or Rival Schools 3. Instead....we have the zillionth Street Fighter 2 that really offers nothing for what will likely be a ridiculous price. If I want Evil Ryu I'll play Alpha 2 or IV. If I want Violent Ken.....I'll stick to SVC Chaos.

This HD remix was made in Flash? It´s seem with flash games. I prefer old japanese style.

so v.ken e.ryu akuma are broken do u played snk bosses??

When this game was announced I was already pissed off because we didn't need another version and on top of that, two reskins of existing characters. What really put the cherry on top is the way Capcom and Nintendo acted like it's a totally new game and amazing game.

Agreed. Violent Ken seems like a lame addition to the roster, as if there weren't enough shoto clones.

I respect your opinion, but I want balance changes. I want Violent Ken, Ryu, and Akuma as well. Looks like a pretty good game better than the first to me.

anyone want to link me the image shown at 8:15? I love it.

I think I saw it on PS store for PS3, is that possible?

1. Darkstalkers 4 2. Capcom vs SNK 3 3. Tatsunoko VS Capcom 2 4. SF Alpha 4 5. Final Fight 4 6. Dungeons and Dragon 3 7. ?

When many of us were first introduced to Ultra Street Fighter II, we were under the initial anticipation that this would basically be Hyper with many elements from HD Remix brought to the forefront, and it's an honest shame that we were wrong to think that: At its core, Ultra is a restructuring of Super Turbo, and the presumed reason for it being a Switch Exclusive was primarily to promote the console's Motion Control capabilities in the form of its Way of the Hado minigame; this is what I believe is the sole reason for why it never saw a release elsewhere (though PlayStation VR and Oculus setups of the time would've benefited from this had Capcom even considered them at the time), WotH needed to have been its own game and I wholly feel that this is what hurt its overall quality over time. Now, I have stated on a few occasions that we may very well see Capcom make up for this at some point, wishfully for a future Anniversary entry: The tier after Ultra is Ultimate, and I truly do believe that there will come a time where we will get Ultimate Street Fighter II, allowing for us to have the true Definitive Experience while also being able to play as every iteration of every character, have every rebalancing effort in one place, and also get to view unique cutscenes and listen to every soundtrack from every build of every version (this would mean every console/handheld port, especially since certain mixes on certain sound chips truly sound pleasant, though this may be up to PC mods to take on if Capcom feels such a concept is too complex); although Hyper was recently (finally!) re~released as part of Capcom's most recent Fighter Compilation (at the time of typing), there is no contest that many fans will probably want an Ultimate update to serve as a proper sendoff to many decades of reworking Street Fighter II for the ever~evolving community, it's the final missing piece of the puzzle and it truly would recreate the impact that Hyper successfully gave us all the way back in 2003 in a new light.

I agree! To try to release a 20+ year old game enhanced with assets from 10 years prior, and then selling it at almost full price and passing off palette swaps as brand new characters is demonstrates greediness in CAPCOM. This game was not made of love like the SF games of yesteryear. Capcom killed Rockman. Capcom killed Breath of Fire. Might as well as go ahead and put Street Fighter out of its misery. RIP Street Fighter.

o que aconteceu com a legenda em portugues?

Any good Street Fighter gamer will definitely question the Switch joycons viability as you pointed out in this video. I can't imagine many old school gamers forking out for a switch and pro controller plus game just for a trip down memory lane when so many other versions and even emulators exist. The original game still looks beautiful after all these years, a true classic of its time! Capcom should consider some HD treatment on SF3 Third Strike and SF Alpha in addition to this.

If you're on PC and play 2D fighters, look into Reshade. Can't recommend it enough. The CRT filter is excellent. With some tweaking (changing res to at least 2, messing with brightness, etc.) you can have low-res 2D looking fanastic on modern displays. I personally combine the CRT filter with the Colourfulness filter. Gives me good results.

three words "Easy Cash Grab"

this HD version seems have some frame skip which makes it seems not smooth enough

Can you use Evil Ryu and Violent Ken in the old pixel art version

Oh wow!! The HD graphics are unstable~ I can see the scan-lines with every moment of movement. So sad....

I was surprise to hear that there was a Ultra Street Fighter 2 while interesting it would not get me to get a switch for a a fighting and plus do we need another update to Street Fighter 2 again? I kind of think it's a waste of time IMO.

That M Bison theme from the first SF EX is sick. The whole soundtrack is awesome.

In Soviet Russia, game plays you!

Do the older graphics support scanlines? : D

He has a good point, it's gonna be HD remix all over again.

Hey, what's wrong wih the image. Weird interlacing stripes there...

You can play old school Street Fighter: Champion Edition on some sites online like Silvergames for free instead playing 40$ for this.

Game missing frames of animation particularly the continue screen and would been nice to switch to the original endings of the player wants or the arranged music from the 3do port

The XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3 already had their own versions of the game though. This is just an extremely late release of HD Remix for Nintendo with a few slight alterations.

great video. Why so many downvotes? he made excellent points

I totally agree with you! Great video!!! SF2, I prefer to play it on my Saturn!

I'm looking forward to ultra street fighter 2 violent ken and evil ryu i think that it's going to be memorable game

Excelent analysis!!! Totally agree with you dude

Capcom just keep milking the same old cow.

You forgot Shin-Akuma. Will you make an updated video on this?

All this is a test to see if capcom will support the switch in the future

Those Portuguese subtitles are perfect. Thx!

great video, couldn't agree more :)

getting this hands down!!!

The continue screens aren't animated. That's a big flaw for me

This was 4 years ago I feel so old wtf

I know this is a couple months old and none of us had used one yet, but the Joycon works just fine for fighting games. I play KOF98 on mine.

Great video. Thanks for all the info!

Who did the subtitles in Portuguese?

I agree there hardly seems a future for this old game coming out on switch when they have done it before with not much success No real use having that sort of Remix on that perticular format,just grab the old one and play it if you want a better experience,i wish they made a Real remake of that game or something entirely new

why not animate the backgrounds and characters to the level that sf3 was? hate th hd stuff

Ultra Street Fighter 2 vou um jogo lindo.

Thanks. Nice review!

One thing, they only made a trailer for the game for nintendo switch right now, the game will most likely be on more platforms... Its like how Sonic Mania wasnt on the switch at first, but then got a trailer for the system. Other words, it will most likely be on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and more.

The character ken doesn't have the same moves of Street fighter 2 turbo. The turn side kick is featured as a mid turn kick

i think you should give your 2 cents after anyone actually played the review or retail copy. it's now a month away and there are many looking forward for this. wonder which updated version Capcom will release next. Alpha series would be nice.

The last reason basically sums up what I think about this game. It's been a year now and no one ever spoke a word about this game anymore. At least where I'm from, anyway. I'm pretty sure this ones heading to bargain bins early. It really is just like TvC where it creates small buzz for (in this case) a year and it fizzles out after. Capcom should really stop doing stuff like this if they expect us to like their product. While I do think the Switch is a great console-hybrid, I really dont see it suitable for fighting games. Also I'm not 100% sure about this but I heard Nintendo or some 3rd party company made arcade sticks for the Switch now but its too little too late at this point :(

My girlfriend plans on getting a Switch, this might be one of the games I get for myself to play on it. Especially if there's an Udon art setting, I love those dudes.

Good video. I share your concerns. The animation of the characters in HD is quite disapointing also. Let's wait and see...

wiimote 2: electric switchaloo

They still need to fix the floor shadows in HD mode for Ultra..

I forget which company said this, but one of the big name fightstick companies already said they were making a stick for the switch

I just want a huge online community.

I for one find the graphics in HD really nice and beautiful and less staff and more fluid

Capcom should've given us *Street Fighter Alpha 3 Triple Upper* featuring all characters from SFIII, SFIV and SFV.

This game is *really official* ?? 😕😕😕

I know this video is a bit old, but I'm still getting this game for fun. Despite its flaws it's still pretty fun to play if you are big Street Fighter fan. And it is pretty funny to see how cheap the DLC characters are. When I saw players first using them, I laughed at the way you can defeat your opponent just from 6 hits damn hits lol. And that's speaking for Shin Akuma, Evil Ryu, and Violent Ken. Although I will admit I wish it wasn't a switch exclusive as well I wish you could have gone this on Playstation and Xbox like SF HD Remix originally was. Though I am getting a switch on Christmas so I hope to have fun with it.

Muito bom cara!

Na minha opinião, até um M.U.G.E.N aleatório que você acha na Internet tem mais Conteúdo que esse "jogo", a CAPCOM nem quis ter o trabalho de colocar novas animações para os "novos Personagens" (ou Pallete Swaps com um ou outro efeito novo ali), esse jogo será esquecido rapidinho.

yea i bought a game pad for the wii just so i could play tatsunoko and then traded it in a month later after i felt i had all the fun i was going have with it

good points. i want to get excited. but the price and the lack of arcade stick support turns me off. and the hd graphics are just awful imo. if i get it. i will use original mode for sure.

completely agree with you! How come we got SF IV in 3DS but you get AGAIN SF II in Switch...what!?

40 euros pour ceci? J'ai de l'argent... pas de souci, mais c'est beaucoup plus que ce que j'ai téléchargé sur PS3 qui en gros, est exactement le même jeu.

Palette swaps give an OG flavor, which is appropriate for this nostalgia product. Thanks for the review.

dont forget that the gameplay speed is slower than ST now tbh it seems like it was mostly just made to appeal to casuals who possibly remember playing street fighter on SNES, but it seems to be mostly a downgrade from ST, though i suppose throw teching could improve the experience

Só uma pergunta amigo, vc é BR e grava os vídeos em inglês ? se for seu inglês é muito fluente amigo, parabéns e +1 inscrito

This is just another Street Fighter II for Nintendo HD handheld home system, nothing new here.

First of all T VS C is always recommended to play with a GC or pro Wii controller. As for the USF game I have to agree with you it's not going to be big. This evil Ryu, violent Ken, & Akuma idea should've all been in the HD turbo remix. Remaking the same game over and over again is going to get tiring to look at. This idea all seems to be cheap and lazy. This is the first I'm ever hearing of violent ken and it could have been really big if he was a DLC for the latest SF game.

Also capcom plans to release it on other consoles as well

Love my switch

Notice how Way of the Hado mode *_wasn't mentioned even once..._*

I preordered it. For me capcom just make a cheap port for testing the switch market (and there almost no competition).

You sound like Tommy Wiseau (in no way is that meant to be an insult) i would wait until street fighter collection switch comes out personally unless people are die hard street fighter fans.The switch is a great system with tons of potential and is a good platform for rehashed games.Great video

i want this on pc, or at least just super turbo hd

If i see it for tenner i might buy it
