I get they wanted to add something else to the mix but the voice and they way it is announced is quite bad in comparison to the normal ‘ultra combo’ and ‘ultraaàaaaa’.
It’s over too quick, doesn’t pack a punch line and sounds way too different from the normal announcer.
However! The second part to the stage ultras. Stating ’ Bannished’ and ‘Buried’ etc is great.
Please please please redo the “stage ultra” announcements to be more in your face… more along the lines of “Staaaaaage Ulllltraaàaaaaa”
I also miss “ULTRAAAAAAA!!” at the very end of a double ultra or a single with a final hit. I do feel it makes the hype die down a bit and doesn’t feel as if it should be said that way >.<
Ive seen a lot of people syaing they dont hear “ULTRAAAAAAAAAA!!” but I do every time. dont know whats up, maybe just a bug? I agree with OP i would like it if they redid the stage ultra announcement. Great idea, poor execution

I really don’t think Stage Ultras should be announced any differently than standard Ultras. Inside the fictional story-space of the game, there are no stages. The term “stage” is behind-the-scenes video game jargon for an interactive environment. Hearing the announcer gurgle “Stage Ultra” makes him sound like the nerd sitting next to you, not the disembodied source of malevolent intellect he’s supposed to be.
Also, it’s information we don’t need. It’s obvious that a Stage Ultra just occurred. We don’t need a sit-rep, but we want an emotionally resonant sound effect – which is why everyone is crying, “Where’s my ULTRAAAAA?”
