UPDATE – The change list has been updated with additions (including changes to Poison, Rolento, Elena, Hugo from the original arcade release) from the USFIV arcade site listing.

It’s finally here! After a couple of months of arcade competition, Capcom is ready to shake things up a bit with the console release of Ultra Street Fighter IV, which features a set of changes based off the further feedback and research the original arcade release provided them.

Oh hell, you’re probably not even reading this. Go! The changes are below–feel free to dive in and let us know what you think. For your convenience, we’ve bolded items that were not present in the previous arcade change list (Ver.1.00), and struckthrough adjustments that didn’t survive the transition to Ver.1.01.
