Despite correcting numerous issues from a previous update, the ver.1.03 patch that was applied to Ultra Street Fighter IV earlier this month has unfortunately created a new issue involving Vega spread across PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Steam.

Capcom’s Peter “Combofiend” Rosas recently brought this bug to light in a new Capcom-Unity blog post, detailing exactly what happens, what can be done to fix it on the fly, and their plans moving forward.

According to Rosas, the glitch works like this: should an opponent trade hits with Vega in the air during the Rolling Izuna Drop follow-up to his Flying Barcelona Special super, they may become frozen in mid-air–some instances may even see Vega become stuck as well. You’ll find a demonstration of the bug below, courtesy of owasoku.

While there are ways around this, either by simply attacking the frozen character, returning your offline console to the home menu, or waiting for an online match’s timer to run out, it’s certainly a frustrating scenario that they are in the process of fixing. Fortunately, they have already found what causes the issue, but working out the kinks will take a bit of time.

Capcom plans to have a correction to this bug released by the end of the year, and will be providing periodic updates between now and its launch.

During the first day of Capcom Pro Tour Asia’s finals event at GameStart 2014, Capcom revealed an early look at a brand new costume pack they have in store for Ultra Street Fighter IV.

While the previous collection focused on summer appropriate outfits for the extensive cast, this time around your favorite characters will be getting a bit more primal with animal-based alternates. You’ll find the preview below, which includes concept sketches for Dudley, Ryu, Gen, Hakan, and Cammy.

Which animals do you think the remaining fighters will represent in this costume pack? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.
