@Litchie: From what I gather with the footage given those red effects are Yakumos UTs unique to that character.
Which in prior games was Ryu's hold down strong attack and do a charge ultimate, with a better one if you do a full circle command and hold strong attack (you can pull this off mid jump as well)
They're not very long and some people just never use UTs anyway as they look cool, doing tons of damage, and give i-frames but leave you open to attacks because you can't block and RW during this. On higher difficulties it's all about timing as those attacks will get you killed very quickly, personally I'm a Izuna Drop, jump grab command, combo heavy, & Flying Swallow kind of player_

UTs can be useful but I would state overly relying on them would never carry a player past Normal difficulty.
