- SFIV is very old now but I spent the last week testing tons of stuff and trying to record some combos and situations you may not have seen before. Everything in this video was done in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Thanks for watching.
I miss the EVO top 32s of this game... holy shit it was hype to see so many characters being piloted by crazy mofos grinding secret tech or mastering bad match ups. Maybe the peak of Modern fighting games? i would say highly probable.
Agreed!
Disclaimer: I haven't played SFV for anything resembling a decent amount of time
SFV's animations just look, IDK, "stiffer" compared to SFIV. They seem to "flow together" better and more "expressively".
Also, the fact there are less mechanical options (maybe more system mechanics, but less freeform options) available to mix things up on combo or pressure, this results in everything feeling more "samey" between player to player. Less player expression potential.
@@TechSY730 That's right , in USF4 you could have 3 players using the same character and most of their play style being different. From harder combos like consistent 1 framers to character knowledge and crazy confirms or setups and the 3 were killers.
Although the mission of SFV was exactly that , to close the skill gap and you don't need to train as hard as before. In that regard i think SFV is better than 4 bringing new blood to the fgc.
If SF6 is even a close thing i would like if they recover some freedom and if they want to retain some friendly quality of life things, also to remove the intended input lag. Notice that guilty gear aimed for this same formula with the new one, past guilty gear games were not just beautiful but demanding mechanically and that made i t a thing to consider while buying it.
@@Ralkila Funny thing is that it is possible to have a decently low execution barrier, _and_ a high skill ceiling + player expressiveness
Is it hard to do that? Very. Good game design is very hard.
But you would expect a 5 billion dollar company, one of the OGs of the fighting game genre, to be able to figure it out.
A point about my comment about animations before.
My experience is very tinted by my impressions from early SFV, where many really were just straight up bad.
These days this has apparently been polished _a lot_ , though I contend that while overall SFV animations now look better in isolation, you still get some "stiffness" when linking/canceling them together _sometimes_
If it wasn't for this game. I never would've found this channel while I was scrolling through SFIV combo videos years ago
I would have never got into competitive fighters if it wasnt for this game
This right here
tremendous
If it wasn't for SF4, you wouldn't have found SF4 content creators?
Yeah man, and I wouldn't know any Tekken content creators if Tekken didn't exist 😂😂🤔
@@Guitar-Dog not funny
Damn it feels good to see sf4 again on this channel!
Feels like coming back home
I say this on every HYPE SF4 video I see, but:
I miss SF4...
What a game. Has so much more personality than 5. This stage that I barely remember even, looks so much better than anything in 5 IMO. So much color and movement.
Totally agree
Heartwarming to see you doing SF4 stuff...
Best SF version. Or maybe 2nd best after 3rd Strike.
Back when SF was good..
@@dirtythirtypsn I mean... USFIV is still good and there is plenty of people playing it mate.
I miss this game so much 😭
Thanks for highlighting more of this magnificent game. I put untold hours into this one and it will always be my favorite FG.
i have at least 15,000 hours on here lol. definitely my favorite game ever
@@Sekzay I can't imagine how much I put into it. It was at least four and a half years straight of playing the different versions and characters I eventually reached top 50 Ken and Ryu on PSN. Miss those days.
@@androidsychoshocker you can check player data and it’ll show the time you’ve played
Just when I think I had seen everything SF4 had to offer, you raise the bar yet again.
SF4 may be old 13 years later, but it will never die.
I miss the insane camera work in SF4, not even for a super just look at T Hawk and how the camera knows how to capture that moment perfectly.
didn’t think there was still stuff that hadn’t been discovered in sf4… boy how dumb was i to question desk’s ability to break games
SF4 is the most creative game. Better yhsn than the Braindead Esport 5
@@sethxtekken yea SFV intentionally dumbed down too many things in order to make it more “accessible” for beginners-an entirely profit-driven decision-yet capped the skill ceiling too low that there’s little to set high level players apart from mid level ones. The infamous crush counter makes it way too easy to land high damage combos, and even more ridiculous is CC occurs during recovery frames of DPs, when blocked/whiffed DPs already are highly punishable in the first place and non-EX versions have no 1f invincibility, making the punishment completely disproportionate and overly favoring offense, all because they wanna create more hypes for eSports tournaments since players are forced to go on offense more often-and this only appears more exciting to audiences who have little knowledge of the game, because they don’t know why well strategized defense is just exciting to watch. SFV also removed close/far standing normals because it was “too hard for beginners” 🤦🏻 even though they phrased it as how buttons couldn’t be fully utilized when not in the right distance, which is complete BS, because this should be the fundamentals for any semi skilled player. VT also has long-arse freeze time for reaction and inputs… not to mention all the efforts are put into making more DLC contents all while cutting budgets on cutscene arts and rival openings, etc. literally every decision is purely made to maximize profit and make it more hyped for non-skilled audiences to watch… just garbage
@@eggimage omg man what a garbage fighting game. The thing that even makes me sick more is other games just want to cooy that retarded system of esport i can see some in Guilty Gear Strive and MK11 all of them just want to make it for beginners when they know that low skill gap ceiling is just wont last long in terms of excitement, it literally kill your excitement in 1 month because you feel there are nothing to explore
@@sethxtekken tell that to diago, punk and idom...Who play the game combos are easier in sf5 but playing against a top player I won't get anywhere. The game doesn't let me beat them why??? Because they are good not because the game is easy.
@@Stormtrooper-oc4vn did you just put punk and idom with daigo ? . and with all respect there are alot of dumbasses in the top 100 . and anyone from the top 1000 can come and beat one of these 100 like in all most tournament . cant you see why the most vicious and the best players in both USA KOREA JP just dont give a f*** about the game ? the skill gap is low . and even daigo said that . and punk will not say that beacuse if that game wasnot low skill gap he know that he cant get along with the top players in SF that you say in 4 and 3 . with all respect your comparison is flaud because i can give you alot of example of top players lose to dumb asses in this game becuase the skill gap ceiling is lower than an ant house
just so you dont miss understand me . if you do enjoy the game then play it im not degrading . this is only my personal view because i see the both the community and the top guys saying that . go listen to all top SF players, i mean the real top readers, creative , skillful players not some new kids that pick S tiers and come and only good in SF5 .
This game is a piece of human history
For folks interested in the Rufus parry back throw, it's done by plinking FA into back throw and is AFAIK exclusive to the 360 version of USF4. It's a surprisingly useful glitch and makes Rufus' wakeup even more obnoxious.
0:55
maybe that's why they stopped using de 360 in tournaments when the ultra came out
what does AFAIK mean?
@@JustAnswers359 As far as I know
Isn't it an armour cancel? Everyone can do it, Desk's "PARRY" videos were there to show how it could be used in really creative (if impractical) ways
desk do you ever think about how you might be the first person to ever do these really sick combos? i think that's magical.
I love how you included different versions of characters!
yeeeeeees, sf4 for the win
Is it just me or did sf4 have more content overall? In regards to dlcs? I could be wrong. Just kinda feels like it watching this hahah. Great video Desk! Much love
It was mostly costumes
@@CamMcCoy87 yeah you are right, maybe it just felt like more cause of the 19 different versions of the game lol
Feeling a lot of nostalgia seeing some old tricks and glitches show up again, much appreciated Desk!
If anyone's wondering about the Adon super glitch showed off in this video a couple of times (e.g. 0:36), it's something that was found in Super SF4! Basically, if the third attack in Adon's super lands as a counter hit, instead of triggering the "hitstun" reaction of the opponent, it's coded to trigger the "standing medium kick" script! This means the person getting hit incurs no hitstun and can potentially combo off the standing medium kick, if possible (see the C.Viper example in this video at 1:35). It's pretty cool that you can still access the glitched behaviour from Edition Select in USF4!
Desk did a video on it more than 10 years ago: th-cam.com/video/vc2X2Mtg-cY/w-d-xo.html
Another highlight is AE Yun being able to combo off his sweep (with a helpful jab to bypass recovery) at 2:00! I think they patched that out in 2012... Not sure how exploitable it was in regular gameplay
thanks for the information wowow
I miss this game. Thank you Desk!
"Street Fighter IV" was so ahead of it's Time.
Desk on usf4? Let’s goooo
good stuff, sfiv always had the most crazy combos
best fighting game of all time + best combo creator of all time = excellent content. i bet there will still be more sf4 stuff being figured out in 2030
wish Edition Select (minus Omega) was the Tourney standard for a last year of Ultra. Just like in Super Turbo there's edition select is allowed.
Still a decent scene for SFIV, SFO Ghost holding regular tournaments.
What happened with Rufus at 0:57?
Just because I swear I did something similar with Dan but instead of grab went into Ultra 1 but could never figure out how I did it...
Probably Plinked focus with grab. I'm not exactly sure but I know it can be done with taunt and Gen's stance changes
It's an armour cancel. If you do a special, super, ultra, throw, or taunt on the same frame that you absorb an attack via armour, it instantly cancels into that move. You don't necessarily have to use Focus to do it - Boxer can do it with his EX Dash Upper (I think - whichever one had the armour on it)
It's been 13 years guys. And we still have new stuff.
Street Fighter 5 never lived up to 4 for me. That was such a magical Era in fighting game history
This game is responsible for running my overall college GPA! I take no responsibility Capcom you sold the fgc community is own version of an addictive lethal drug!
Omega SF4 never being fully adopted was a heartbreaker
I usually expect wildness with your videos, but this one made me “wait wait wait” more times than most of your videos.
Desk did you see Justin Wong’s recent video where he was watching some old Magnetron MvC2 tool assisted combos? He said he would pay money to see someone do some of them by hand, and you were the first person to come to mind. Have you done much with MvC2 execution in the past? Would you consider trying to do “tool assisted “only MvC2 combos without tool assistance?
Magnetro*
Man I miss IV
Bringing it back to life!
Ahh I forgot omega mode was a thing. Still wish there were more tournaments for it but it came way too late in SF4 lifespan
not to mention it was pretty broken
imo one of the best fighting games ever made.
HAHA...RARE??? I bet except except Desk no one has EVER thought about these combos and situations!
Enhanced edition or remake game's are all the rage these days. Update Sf 4 graphically and bring it back imo, also great video Desk.
sf4 is such a better game than sf5 -.-
Super crazy stuff here! I love it! "combos for usf4 rollback!" haha
desk I don’t even play fighting games anymore but your content will always have a special place in all of our hearts. One of the few fgc people I still sub to and watch.
Nothing like some good ole' sf4
I wish I could've experienced this game when it came out. It has so much magic, even if it's not as polished as SFV.
I wish i could have experienced marvel 3 when it first dropped but i was so involved in this game that i didnt really grasp how dope marvel was.
Is what it is and time keeps ticking bro. Enjoy it now
It has all the right parts polished. i.e. the gameplay.
Awesome video but how the f did you figure these combos out 🤩
Ah the fucking armour cancel through from Rufus! that shit was so cool but so niche, I remember I could do armour cancel EX falling sky pretty consistently but it serves basically no purpose lol.
"You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance".
Wait what the fuck Bison (Dictator) can be grabbed out of his Ultra?!?
I love SF4, but I have no idea why they decided to put the ultra names (the ones above the super bar when you use them) in black text on top of a black background...
Me: play around 10 years and have seen everything
Desk: naah let me show you
the dictator air target into charge partion forward dash ultra combo got me good. thx desk
I said the same thing. I was like DAMN he dashed his ultra.
I laughed at dictator getting grabbed out of ult after Rufus focus absorbed
For some reason I was expecting half of these to be possible only against Gief.
When the music is so loud you can't even hear the character voices
I need Gen's combos in Omega mode....
How to stun twice with focus attack?
This is straight up ACADEMIC.
What song is being used ??
Have you ever gone pro?
WHAT IS THIS SONG?!?!?!?!
We need Ultra Street Fighter IV to return, someway.
sf should've stopped at 4
golden era
Agree
This is omega bro
Love your videos! At least they're not like Smug's old SF4 combo videos where he'd try combos over and over and over with his friends online then post them like he got them to happen in actual matches lol. Speaking from experience.
makes me miss the gdays with the cru pressing buttons
This is really cool, but also notice how a lot of this clips are interactions with Vega, that character was a genuine joke in SFV
I know for a fact I wouldn't have committed nearly as much to SF4 and fighting games in general if it hadn't been for your content years ago
The video starting with Ibuki is no damn surprise.
Seeing as you like doing weird and funky combos, i think it would be fun to see a video on GG Strive Baiken and what exclusive combos other characters get access to on Baiken when tied to her with her rope mechanic.
DUDE i felt like the guy from pulp fiction : wut? whuuut? whhhhhaaatttt WHHHHHAT WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is Super Better & fast than that lame slow street fighter 5 😌😏
You mean braindead 5
Awesome!
I'm sure the Omega characters still hold many secrets...
So many memories...great vid!
Hindsight I think SF4 is better than 5
Glad to see you’re still working on my favorite street fighter!
2:00
Why is up with poor Hugo? Why is he always a victim of those weird OTG combos? Really weird
SFIV Desk…God the days
This only solidifies vega's low tier placement. Feels bad man.
Ryu just teleporting behind sagat and proceeding to do full combo. No wonder Sagat is salty lol.
SF4 was the best street fighter of all time in my opinion. I have played alpha 2, 3, hyper street fighter 2, 3rd strike, and I think USF4 was the best of them all.
Sure, minor balance fixes would have been great, but all around the games combo system, plinking and 1frame combos were epic to watch on live streams
I think we all miss this game...
No SSF4 Dan's U2 anti-crossup? If opponent tries to jump crossup and Dan uses his U2 opponent will be teleported in front of Dan and will be hit with U2. Idk if it needs to be on Dan's wakeup or not, all times I seen it happened it was on wakeup, and then they removed U2 anitcrossup in AE.
Street fighter 4 and KOF 13 peak fighting games
Rare combos as in... nobody researched omega that much before SF5 was out?
Hmm… this give me an idea or some suggestion that Capcom could do a newer remake of the SFIV series for the 35th Anniversary…
oh, look
an actual rare combos
What is this mystic warriors game that you keep pulling music from?
"SFIV is very old now". Ouch lol
I thought you were doing vanilla for a second…
Man, I miss SF4 Omega ... brought so much more to most of the roster, but downright ruined a few characters
This is like, tas level shit. Crazy stuff man.
Why did the Blanka super do like 40% on its own?
Oh my goodness was that a T Hawk Omega USFIV combo I saw?
I love and adore SF4 but even I will admit that this game is wack af
what is the name of the background music ?
Who else is here for the stupid comments like how sf5 is weak compared to this blah blah blah.
Feels good to see a video of a fighting game I actually understand 😚
shouldn't this be "rare interactions"?
desk is like a ancient wizard from hogwartz
It's been years since I've seen this game.
It looks good still prefer it to V
