Capcom has announced that it intends to distribute a free DLC later this year, titled Omega Mode, introducing a number of network fixes and a fun new game mode.
Omega Mode introduces a substantial change into the way the extensive roster of characters measure up to each other, changing both standard and special moves in a way that's meant to offer gamers a fresh experience.
The mode will be introduced in a future patch, and is meant to focus on fun rather than balance, and as such will only be available online for unranked games.
Omega Mode will be much more exciting, but less balanced
Official tournaments will continue to use the default fighter tuning, as that offers gamers the most balanced and skill-intensive experience.
'For those wondering, Omega mode is a completely new mode in which every character has been modified and outfitted with new normal and special attacks, resulting in a refreshing take on the characters you've come to know and love over the last six years.'
'As the primary goal for this mode was fun, we placed more emphasis on making the characters feel new, than on their balance. This means that strong, fan favorite attacks such as Ken's Shinppu Jinrai Kyaku and Sagat's Tiger Raid make their return while other characters such as Zangief gain new abilities, like being able to combo into his command throws,' Peter 'ComboFiend' Rosas writes on the Capcom Unity blog.
In case you're wondering how exactly the characters will be tweaked, you can check out the video below, showing Rosas taking the Omega Mode for a spin.
Patch 1.04 will improve the online experience
Furthermore, in addition to the patch delivering Omega Mode, Capcom also intends to address some of the issues reported by the fighting game's fanbase, such as adding the delayed wake up option to the training mode dummy, in order to enable gamers to hone their skills, as well as addressing some online issues experienced by PC users.
Some additional fixes will include the changes introduced to Decapre and Rolento in the Ver B. patch reverted, and Cody's Light Ruffian Kick causing a hard knockdown against airborne opponents once again.
PC users reported that they could be pinged by people outside of ongoing matches, creating slowdown, and Capcom has made it so it won't be possible, in addition to some other connection fixes which should reduce online lag and other issues experienced by players.
Ultra Street Fighter 4 update 1.04 includes quite a lot of interesting features, including the online Omega mode, not to mention fresh trials for the training mode that can be used to improve your skills.
Ultra Street Fighter 4 Omega Patch Notes
Ultra Street Fighter 4 is the latest entry in Capcom's long-running series of new and improved editions of Street Fighter 4, adding even more elements on top of those from the original game, not to mention from other versions like Super, Arcade Edition, and so on.
The entry rolled out across PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 earlier this year, and since then, Capcom proved that it wasn't done with the upgrade process, releasing multiple patches that improved existing mechanics, while adding new elements.
Omega mode is coming with the update
The upcoming patch 1.04 is no exception, as it brings quite a few new things, starting with the Omega mode that adds new special moves and modified attacks to all the characters in the title, in order to completely revamp the whole experience.
'Are you ready to experience your favorite SFIV characters re-imagined in the all new Omega Mode? Every character has been given new specials, as well as adjustments on their normal attacks to make them that much more fun and hype. Once you get a feel for them, take them for a spin online and see what others have cooked up with their favorite characters,' Capcom explains on its Unity website.

Bear in mind that Omega mode isn't actually its own mode. Instead, it's an edition of characters that's located in the Edition select menu. Seeing as how most attacks and specials are heavily modified, Capcom warns that players shouldn't expect balanced fights. As such, Omega mode is only available for unranked multiplayer matches.
Trials for the training mode are also included
Besides the overhauled experience outlined above, patch 1.04 for Ultra Street Fighter 4 also includes several trials for specific fighters in the training mode. These include the new characters that appeared with this edition of the game, like Poison or Rolento, but also some that saw overhauls in recent updates.

'Take your game to the next level as you try to complete all the fun and challenging trials for Yun, Yang, Oni, Evil Ryu, Hugo, Elena, Decapre, Poison and Rolento! In addition to trials for these characters, you’ll also find updates for characters whose USFIV battle balance changes made a few of their previous trials no longer possible. Once you master these trials, take your newfound skills online and style on the competition,' Capcom says.
