@Fighting_Game_Loser It's not very odd why neither had much of a competitive scene - HD Remix never released in Japan + Street Fighter 4 had been out in arcades for months, then Ultra was exclusive on the console people don't play fighting games on + delay based online player (Which is ironic because HD Remix has rollback). HD Remix didn't see too much of a shift in the power balance, Zangief was still considered the worst in the game, but didn't stop a Zangief from winning an Evo. Then there's Ultra, which adds two more (overpowered) shotos to the game, but otherwise, most of the changes like in HD Remix only adjust the balance of power due to characters losing things, making some characters less of a threat to others. Also the tech throwing essentially destroyed characters that thrived off mashable throws.
