More about Ultra Street Fighter® IV

Critics scored it 82. Players sit 9 points higher at 91 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 654 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 15 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 670 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 1,146 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic, unlock); the score docks it lightly for that.

The main story runs 2.5 hours. Doing everything runs 134, 54 times as long.

What players say

It is the Renaissance of (Capcom) fighting games yet still deranged and unhinged (affectionate). I love 1f links and I don't plink.

At this point you can grab the game, or the upgrade, kinda funny with the 4 dollars for SF 4 USD theme on sale going on, but more so, there's a MOD out now that gives it the rollback code that makes 2 frames delay feel like near nil. If you ever liked the game at all, and wanted some of that best console version 360 feels on PC, this plus that MOD is hands down an experience. Take a step back into the age where...
