Recent Ultra Street Fighter IV Patch Expands Decapre’s Horizons

If you’re a Decapre player like me, then you’re probably pretty excited about most of her changes in Ultra Street Fighter IV’s ver.1.04 update. We’ve already seen how the changed input priority on her Ultra 2 motions gives her more combo possibilities, and now William Ho has shared a video showing what else she can do thanks to the recent adjustments.

Aside from new avenues into one of her most powerful attacks, the changes also allow her to combo into her EX slide out of crouching strong. This, and the other combos shown in the short video, could end up being important tools for her in the long run.
