The
"first-person mode" that was teased in the original Ultra
Street Fighter 2 trailer has now been confirmed by Capcom. In Ultra
Street Fighter 2's "The Way of Hado" Mode, players equip the
Nintendo Switch Joycons and use motion controls to have Ryu throw
Hadoukens, Shoryukens and Hurricane Kicks at incoming Shadaloo soldiers.
While it might look mildly entertaining as an extra mode, it seems to be
mostly a "novelty" aimed to attract casual players. (No actual
combos or tech of any kind seem to be involved. Hmph.)
The Way of Hado gameplay begins at around 2:57:10 in the video
below.
[UPDATE #1]
The Way of Hado features 3
difficulty paths: Beginner, Standard, and Extra. It appears players will
"aim" Hadokens at enemies onscreen with the Joycons, while
uppercuts and hurricane kicks will hit enemies up-close, naturally.
There's also a super meter that, once full, will let you unleash a Shinku
Hadoken hitting multiple enemies at once. Seems easy enough. (EVO '16 side
tournaments anyone?
Jk.) There will also be an experience / level up system for Ryu in the
mode.
[UPDATE #2] Below
are some new
screenshots of The Way of Hado Mode.
In related news, Color
Edit & Gallery modes were also confirmed for Ultra Street
Fighter 2. Stay tuned on FightersGeneration.com for
