The Ultra Combo Double (ウルトラコンボダブル Urutora Konbo Daburu?) is a new mechanic introduced in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

The Ultra Combo Double feature allows players to select both their character's Ultra Combos at the same time - as opposed to choosing between the two. The option can be found on the Ultra Combo Select screen, underneath the character's two Ultra Combos and indicated by a red "W".

For most of the cast, Ultra Combo Double reduces the damage output of each Ultra Combo to 75%. However, certain characters are in the 60% tier:

For much of the cast, having access to both Ultra Combos at the same time is massively advantageous, as it allows for greater flexibility and more mix-ups. Most obvious is the advantage it gives to'"grappler' characters such as Hakan, T. HawkZangief and Hugo, each of whose Ultra Combos consist of a grounded Command Grab and an anti-air grab. Other characters gain Option Selects such as Rufus who can Option Select into Big Bang Typhoon when doing a Space Opera Symphony set up. However, it should be noted that when using Ultra Combo Double, the overall damage output of each Ultra Combo is reduced as a balancing method. In addition, most 'grapplers', along with a few other selected characters, suffer from an even greater damage reduction on their Ultra Combos when using Ultra Combo Double.

Trivia[]

  • The "W" icon is based on the fact that "W" sounds similar to "double", both in English and as Japanese katakana.
