In Ayano's latest blog, the Capcom representative confirmed some of the rumored gameplay mechanic additions set to be added to Ultra Street Fighter 4. Both the Red Focus and a player's ability to select both Ultras in a match at the cost of reduced damage are indeed being added to the update.


Below is the translation.

You can choose Ultra Combo Double, which allows you to use both Ultra Combo 1 and Ultra Combo 2! The damage becomes a little lower, but it gives you a lot more variety in your offensive and defensive options!"

"Multiple hit-absorption focus attack becomes possible!

A "Red Focus Attack" which allows you to absorb multiple hits has been added! It costs super gauge to use, but the damage and ultra gauge gain become higher than from a normal focus attack! Of course, you can dash cancel it as well."

ComboFiend over at Capcom Unity also posted a video in which he explains the Ultra Combo Double and Red Focus systems. He also states that the Capcom team has successfully removed unblockables from the game, and that we will indeed see location tests for USF4.
