Omega Street Fighter IV

Omega Mode info

System Changes

• Input Bufer -
• Input Leniency - (623) motions are much more strict, with the crouching DP input shortcut removes
  • (236) inputs now take priority over (623) inputs, making it even harder
• Hard Knockdowns - most have been removed
  • Supers, Ultras, and a few EX moves still cause HKD
• Throws - 4f extra whiff recovery (20f > 24f), and slightly shorter range
  • The range difference is barely noticeable, but may occasionally affect tick throws

• Movement changes
  • Forward dashes are generally faster, and some travel farther/shorter distances
    • Exceptions: Gen (Crane), Hakan (Oiled), Poison, and Zangief; Hugo's dash was slowed down
  • Some backdashes were normalized (for example - Rose slower, Chun/Decapre/Ibuki shorter distance)
  • Some walkspeed changes (Gen, Guy, Ibuki, Ken, Seth, T. Hawk)
    • A few of these are just reverting walkspeed buffs that were given in Ultra
  • Some jump speed/distance changes (Adon, Cody, Elena, Gen, Guy, Hugo, Ibuki, Yang, Zangief)

• No Red Focus or Delayed Wakeup (mechanics introduced in USF4)
  • Omega characters can still delay wakeup against an Ultra character, since this mechanic is tied to the move that knocks down rather than the character waking up
