Like many of you I’m suffering from Kickstarter fatigue. I’m even starting to grow weary of writing about it.

Doopliss and Desk Keep Focus on Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Omega Mode
With news swirling about new titles like Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat X, and Tekken 7, our attention towards Ultra Street Fighter IV’s Omega Mode has drifted a bit since it was first released. But just because we haven’t been posting about content relating to Omega’s unique remixed gameplay doesn’t mean folks haven’t stopped creating it, and we have some great stuff to show off this afternoon.
First up, Doopliss has released a couple of lengthy combo videos over the past few weeks, broken up between original World Warriors and those that first made appearances in Super Turbo. Much like their earlier exhibitions, these feature some crazy stuff only possible in Omega, making full use of the new tools the characters have been granted.
Of course, you can’t have a discussion about combo videos these days without mentioning Desk, and he’s certainly been putting in work since Ultra Street Fighter IV was updated. As of today, the execution master has released a grand total of thirty-five Omega videos. While we’ve featured some of them before, you’ll find the full playlist included below to help you catch up.
What are some of your favorite Omega videos so far? Feel free to let us know in the comments!
