Street Fighter 4 glitch leads to 276-hit combo

I love me a good combo video. There's nothing like seeing a guy rock a game system hard and eek out strings of nasty hits. This vid from Youtube user biffotasty uses a very particular glitch to be able to go beyond the normal hit-counter and get 276 hits. How did he do this? Well, here's what biffotasty said in the video's description:

In steps the 'stun glitch', which is a weird quirk of the SFIV system that allows the opponent to block at a certain point during stun but does not end the combo. In fact all combo factors are still in effect. So, meter build and damage scaling are both at 10% (this even applies to chip damage). If you interrupt the opponent during this block stun the combo will continue.

Using some of Chun-Li's nasty combo-looping properties, he then took advantage of that particular glitch to slam poor Abel in the face dozens of times.

I can't wait for more of these types of videos post-Ultra Street Fighter IV. While this particular bug probably won't make the cut, there's bound to be other little tricks to exploit and show off. I'm crossing my fingers for some sick Elena combos!
