Ultra Street Fighter 4 to Include Online Training and Team Battle Modes [Video]

Ultra Street Fighter 4 is one of the most anticipated titles from Capcom in 2014. The game, which is due to hit consoles during June 2014, adds five new characters to the established rooster, thereby raising the total number of playable characters to 44.

What's new?

Capcom has announced that the game will receive two new game modes when it makes its debut later next year. They will be Team Battle mode and Online training mode. Check out both the modes in the new trailer below.

Team Battle Mode

In this, players will have to engage in 3 vs 3 online matches. The gamer will have to team up with two other players and take on a team of three. Each character will be allowed a single life bar across multiple rounds, meaning that the gamer is going to have to move from round to round without a life bar refresh.

Online Training Mode

Easily the most exciting feature in the new game, Online training mode works just like the regular training mode. However, there is one simple difference. The gamer can incite a friend to come online and train with him or her. This should definitely make things more exciting than the previous format, which involves the gamer training with the CPU. There is nothing more fun than getting tips, advice and feedback from friends after a solid round of training.

Overview of the game

Ultra Street Fighter 4 refurbishes the existing characters and brings in 6 new arenas for players to fight in. The new characters added are Poison, Hugo, Elena and Rolento.
