Two more new ultras to discuss: Abel's Breathless and Sagat's Tiger Cannon.
Abel's Breathless (called that because he winds you with a knee to the gut) is a grab where he dashes forward and grabs you, as that would imply. The time he takes before he dashes forward can be changed by holding down the buttons, and apparantly it can be cancelled, but they didn't try it in the video. Being a grab, it won't be comboable, and does fairly bad damage for a grab, but I guess the 'charge' ability of it makes up for that with pressure and mindgames capabilities.
Tiger Cannon is fairly basic, really. Its Metsu Hadouken, but follows the path of a high Tiger Shot, and thus doesn't hit crouchers (it does look fairly big, though, so it may hit crouching Zangief or some such). Tiger Uppercut FADC Tiger Cannon is possible, as shown in the video, but does fairly bad damage as well. Whether that's because comboable/easily setup ultras are toned down or because damage scaling is alot harsher now is unknown as of yet.
