I've not seen this anywhere, so here's a comprehensive list of Supers and
Ultra Combos, together with their hits and dmg. You probably know the deal:
Ultra Combos are like supers but use up your revenge meter. Your revenge meter
increases when you get hit or successfully use a focus attack. Once you've lost
about 450 damage points, your meter will be half way up, and once you've lost
900 damage points, it will be full. This means that you always get to do one
max ultra in a round.
Below are the values for minimally (ie half way up the rage gauge) and fully
charged ultras, which are around 50% higher. Others do a proportionate amount
in between.
As you may have noticed, Supers and Ultras do not do any stun to the opponent.
However, at least they do not allow the opponent to recover back to zero during
their long animations: they just keep them level like a block string would, so
afterwards you can try to continue where you left off.
New in USFIV is the ability to choose both ultras at once. The penalty for this
is that they do 75% of their original damage (60% if you're using a grappling
character).
================
=Character data=
================
These were all performed on the European version in Training Mode against Ryu.
Note that each opponent has different vitality, so, for example, Ryu has 1000
energy points, while Seth has 750 and Hawk has 1150.
Note that unlike games such as Alpha, or SFEX, there are not many modifications
to the ultras, so mashing the buttons or timing anything or will not increase
the number of hits. However, some do have alternative animations if missed or
blocked.

A special move worth noting is Balrog's Turn Punch. It does 130 damage for the
first 1 second of charge, and then an extra few points for every second you
hold it after that, up to a match-changing maximum of 560 damage at 56 secs.
Seconds | 1 2 4 8 16 24 32 40 48 56
Level | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 F
Damage | 130 150 180 210 250 280 410 460 510 560
As can be seen with Hakan (based on the character Darun), and Makoto, some
moves are passive, and serve only to alter the properties of other moves.
Every time Rose absorbs an opponent's fireball with a jab reflect, she gains
5% extra damage for her next fireball or super (as well as the first orb on
her U2). This can continue for a maximum of 7 absorbs (35% extra damage)
When used in combination with other moves, the game's damage scaling comes into
effect. This is more severe than in most other games, favoring shorter combos.
From the 3rd hit, moves lose 20% of their damage, from the 5th hit, they lose
30%, and from the 7th hit, they lose 40%, and so on. It's something close to
D = 0.9^((H-2)/2), up until the 9th hit.
In addition, damage is scaled down depending on how much health the opponent
has. When they have 30-50% health left, you do 5% less damage. 15-30% health
left: 10% less. And in the last 15%, 25% less.
Another detail to note is the scaling with super and ultra combos. If you
include an ultra inside a combo, then the damage will be reduced as if there
was one extra hit beforehand. It's therefore best doing them as the starter
if you can.
Blocking a special/super takes off 25% of the regular damage.
=========
=Battery=
=========
Here is how much meter is charged for connecting with the following moves
(or rather, how many of the moves you need to do for one level)
| Attacker | Recipient
| Light Middle Heavy | Light Middle Heavy
Clean hit | 13 7 5 | 25 13 9
Blocked | 25 13 9 | 50 25 17
Most whiffed specials take between 6 and 13 repetitions to do the same, with
a couple taking 25 reps.
==========
=Strategy=
==========
As you have no doubt seen, you can cancel a normal or special move into a
super, but not directly into an ultra. This obviously makes sense, taking into
account the damage scaling. Besides, if it was that easy to do, it would break
the game.
However, you can use the FA dash cancel to get one in - so if you land a
jump-in or low forward, performing the EX Focus Attack on confirm will use up
2 levels on your gauge (ie half a super), but then allow you to make the next
move. As a fully charged ultra typically does over 50% more than a super, it
is sometimes worth it to use up everything on a mega combo if its near the end
of the round and you are behind on the life bar.
Coming in a future version of this document will be treatment of Juri's FSE,
which can be used for CCs of around 400 pts (think V-ism).
