Ultra Street Fighter IV To Allow Practice While Waiting In Lobbies And YouTube Replay Uploads
Capcom has released a few more details on some extra features coming to Ultra Street Fighter IV outside of its fighting mechanics.
In a post on the Capcom Unity blog, it is revealed that players will be able to practice their combos, etc. while waiting for new online matches to begin.
Players will also have the option to enable the Offline Battle Log, which will allow Ultra Street Fighter IV players to save replays of their matches even if they are played offline. Capcom is also adding the ability to upload replays to YouTube, so you can broadcast your best work.
Recently, Capcom revealed the final new character for the game, Decapre. You can learn about her here.

Our Take
The ability to practice a game while waiting for an online match to start isn't a particularly new or innovative feature, but it is one I always appreciate when it is included.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
