Street Fighter 3 and EX were both capable of running on the N64 but... this was during the time Capcom and Nintendo were at odds with the Street Fighter franchise because Nintendo blamed Capcom for the poor performance of Street Fighter Alpha 2 on the SNES by not coding the game to use the Phase 3 clocks of the WDC 65c816 processor (3.58 MHz) but instead used Phase 2 Clocks (2.86 MHz). Nintendo also claimed that Capcom could of easily placed a Nintendo SA-1 chip on the cartridge to also accelerate the game's performance. Because of all of this, Capcom refused to port anymore Street Fighter games to the Nintendo consoles.

I was disappointed when the Street Fighter Anniversary game was released because they didn't include these. I enjoyed the EX games and think that at least the final version should have been on there.

The soundtrack, the camera angle, super cancel, the characters available, the unlimited hit counter, the rats running around the arena, the collapsing Akuma necklace, and the birds flying through the Chun-li stage make this the SF most special and exciting for me. ♥

People thought EX looked and played bad? I think thats more a case of people with the loudest voice stating that, it was well liked at the time and on various forums I have been on people tend to prefer it to 4 and 5 specifically because it plays different rather than be SF2 all over again.

Have you even played this game? The controls are terrible. Which is weird and makes you think how could they possibly fuck it up that bad. You would imagine it would play some what like tekken and street fighter but no the movements suck horribly. There's a delay when fighting and moving. The game just sucks. Which honestly sucks for the simple fact that it had great potential. If it weren't for the delays when pressing buttons and moving around this game could've been one of the best in general it just needed more work. I couldn't speak on EX 2 or EX3 because I haven't tried them but this game sucks. It's funny because watching the game you wouldn't imagine that it has the kind of lag it has until you actually play it.

It's like when you press the buttons it waits like a second and a half until the game reacts. And that's just not fun at all. Not to mention you really have to time things right and not only do you have to time things right but you have to understand the range. It's not like you don't have to do that with other games but the lag along with everything else really makes this game very unlikable. Like I said it's sad because it really did have a lot of potential even arikas game characters are interesting.

I still play ex plus alpha. Might be my favorite street fighter game of all. I actually really dig its stylized visuals too, not an ugly game.

If I had a Sony PS1, Street Fighter EX1 and Street Fighter EX2 would be my favorite Capcom games to play. It makes sense because the Sony PS1 was a 3D powerhouse and not a 2D powerhouse.

I assume half the 'critics' never bothered to play the game. As someone who played all the titles from the original onwards, it's quite underappreciated, and anyone who has played the game can tell you that while it wasn't quite as polished as some of the other titles, it was still a lot of fun, and I spent countless hours on EX+a and EX2. Also one of the best soundtracks of any Street Fighter (or for that matter, any) game ever.

As I said on Twitter, I played this to death back in the day and still play it. It's definitely the PlayStation game that I put the most hours into. Even hearing the music in this video made me happy. I fucking love this game!!!

This game took hours away in 95 with me and my big bro.

I loved Street Fighter Ex Plus Alpha. It was brilliant. It didn't drop the ball at all. They went all in from the fighting itself, to the soundtrack, to even the way Ken and Ryu's heel move back and forth when they are bouncing in their stance.

i dont think it has been forgotten, the akira characters were very memorable and fans are always asking to bring them back. They were so popular it motivated them to make the ex layer fighting game

The EX series is my favorite of all the street fighters

i love EX we still play it all the time

Top notch sir,,, 👌👌 Much obliged, for the nostalgia flash backs. I loved this game in arcade to the end of the 90' specially Kairi, Evil Ryu & Akuma. Strangely it never picked up, after a while everbody just stopped playing it, and from that day onwards never touched a street fighter game, or any fighting game, got busy with life, now with a bit of time in my hand, gina get me a stick, and see where it goes from, but many things changed along the years i feel there will be a hell of a learning curve, but you learn from discomfort.

There were quite a few years between the releases of SF3 Third Strike and SF4, and also between MvC2 and MvC3. People thought the fighting game genre was dying during the years before it was basically revived by SF4 and esports (evo).

One of my favorite beat em ups. Near school we had a local games shop that had it on arcade so we had regular tournaments, fun memories of this one.

I never got into the original street fighter games. The arcade series passed me by and by the time I got a PS1, I was a Tekken man almost all the way. Except for this game. Ex Plus Alpha was beyond awesome. One of my fondest memories is playing against my nephew with one of us as Akuma and the other as dark Ryu. That was insane. For some reason, the music they made for games back then had more character and dare I say "heart" that a lot of stuff that comes out today.

No one plays it?! Me and a bunch of friends used to play this religiously weekly after work, we'd go to whoever's turn it was to host the night, 4 set ups, 10-20 friends and very very late nights. So many good times.

This was a great game had lots of fun playing against my mate it really was easy to play if you were familiar with the street fighters before it

The music is a real jam - I'll always have fond memories of this game for sure! Not least the bastard hard training mode with that grid!!

I only seen two people Play any Street Fighter EX Games, me and a cool friend of mine on The PS2. I enjoyed The SF EX Series along with Traditional 2D SF Series. I remember going to arcades during the early 2000s and me being the only person who ever played them. Lol Still to this day I love The SF EX Series.

Thanks for the video. I liked this ex series. It was different for sure. You could chain combos well and linked them. The music was decent too.

The one that was jaw dropping to me was being able to link a super move with a second super move, I did that bay accident and I was blown away. This was in an arcade in Canada before America ever got them. Discovered Power Stone too.

Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha was the one I played when I was a kid and it remains my favorite, especially the soundtrack. I can't believe that the songs from the soundtrack haven't shown up later in the series.

I remember renting this when it first came out thinking it would be the form of the future. Wasn't impressed. Actually forgot it even existed until this video. Great video as always though. 🎩

Played it regularly at Yellow Brick Road, arcades owned by Capcom in San Diego back in the day. Then picked it up for my PSX, & actually have been playing this game once a week for the last 3 months. Along with playing SF alpha anthology, Samurai anthology, & other fighting classics. Reliving the good old days. 👍

the moment I heard the Sakura EX3 music, I thought Maximillian Dood was going to come in and interrupt your video.

I actually love this series

That background plus a music takes me back

Street Fighter Ex PLUS Alpha was my very first playstation game and i love it til this day!!

The music of the EX series is the best of all the street fighter games. EX3 was really fun too

I beg to differ. Ex series and Rival schools was very popular in Asia. We even had arcade battles back in the day.. it was Streefighter ex, Tekken, Bloody Roar, DOA and Soul Calibur.

I remember being all over this game when it was out! I loved that Street Fighter was in 3D, and being able to play and beat it with different characters and subsequently unlock hidden ones was a fun carry-over from Tekken. EX2 was where everyone jumped in & the formula got even better! I still miss that one and am so glad these characters are back in Fighting EX Layer.

Ex plus alpha was a lot of fun. It was different in terms of physics and "feel" but it opened things up for new strategies. It's hard to explain, but there's a certain "springiness" to the hits that makes some of the combos work in a unique way.

During the summer of 1997 I would go to my friends house to have a Street Fight EX Plus tournaments. There would always be at least 6 of us playing. I ended up buying my own copy so I could practice at home. I remember the combo trials were ridiculously hard. I still own my copy, and its still one of my favorite SF games.

Goodness. Since I'm old, and was heavily into fighting games since 1991, I can actually remember these developments and the impact they had. I'll try to limit this commentary. Street Fighter was not intentionally saturating the fighting game market in 1996. They were trying to break out of their dependence on Super Turbo and many beat 'em ups. They were testing several waters. Testing involves experiments, many experiments. They went polygon with EX, Star Gladiator and Rival Schools, they went super fluid 2D with SF3, they went anime with Alpha and JoJo, they went mainstream with Marvel, they went goth with Darkstalkers, and they went ridiculous with Super Puzzle Fighter. The purely unintentional saturation occurred because no one could have predicted that each one of these games would develop a cult following; Is it Capcom's fault their games were mostly really good? The whole section on the Capcom's stance concerning the development of a 3D fighting game is based on your assumption that Arika somehow did what Capcom couldn't do: make a 3D fighting game. This is a false assumption because EX is NOT a 3D fighting game (neither are Star Gladiator nor Rival Schools). It's obviously 2D with fancier animations for certain events. So Capcom was correct in their assessment that they did not have the techniques to make a proper 3D fighting game at the time. Later in time, in 1999, apparently they finished acquiring those techniques. The result was Power Stone. And, just so everyone is clear, SF4 and 5 are still 2D. The decision to use simple, tried and true game mechanics is what makes this game worthy of being called a Street Fighter game even more so than Street Fighter 5. In this case, it's a timeless cliché that simply works. Your mention of the "odd departure, stylistically" of the character select portraits is unnecessary. How should they have looked, then? Like the polygons in the win poses? That would have been trash because the facial animations were not very good. Anyone who was a fan of Street Fighter at the time simply played this game and enjoyed it. You compare Street Fighter to other 2D fighters, NOT to Tekken and Soul Edge. Gamespot was wrong. Period. Certain attack & damage animations were not as smooth as Tekken, but much smoother than Soul Edge. SE masked much of its flaws with a dynamic camera. Also, animation aside, moves came out WAY more accurately in EX than either Tekken or SE. EX plus Alpha came out in 1996, Tekken 3 came out in 1997, and you stated otherwise. EX arcade had decent music, but it was all keyboard. It surpasses Tekken but is surpassed by Soul Edge. But SFEX plus Alpha for PSX, with much better sampled instruments (or real instruments, couldn't tell), blew them all away (especially those subpar remixes for SoulBlade on PSX). The backgrounds are not as good as SE, SFA2, or SF3, but they are not bad. The comments you quoted concerning turtling, Street purists, etc., are totally wrong. The UK mag and ign got the actual sentiment most players at the time were experiencing. WHY would you ask anything on twitter? The reason this game doesn't get talked about is because Capcom focuses on a few things at a time. They are pragmatic to a fault. They had action games to worry about, like Mega Man X4, Devil May Cry, Onimusha and Viewtiful Joe. Nevermind their attention to Resident Evil and Dino Crisis. For EX we got a good sequel and a decent sequel for a newer console, SFEX3, and more releases in Japan, so the series left its mark. But what was really hot at the time was Marvel, so we got a few of those. Then Vs. SNK. This game also doesn't get mentioned much because was overshadowed by other games, but also because it hasn't been ported multiple times like other SF titles. I believe Capcom does NOT want to share any credit or profit with ARIKA. Still, I hope they get around to releasing an EX anthology with online versus. Then you will see this game being talked about. "Why NO ONE PLAYS IT!?" Maybe you don't play it, but I still do. Oh, lastly, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie was released in January of 1996. Go watch it for those highly useful moments when the name Ryu is spoken. Who the hell still pronounces his name Rye-you? Does he come from a bayou?????

Thumbs up because you mentioned my favorite fighting game as a kid. Soulblade

I will never forget the day that I finally get SF Ex Plus Alpha, after playing it in a obscure arcade for months, the local game shop brought one copy of this gem, I was so anxious to play, that the 20 minute bus journey seemed like hours. This game blew my mind, it was the arcade at home but better. This game single handled helped me improve in Street Fighter with its amazing training/challenge mode, trying to unlock the bosses made me a better player, and the soundtrack, ah the soundtrack is perfection!!

It plays a lot like Rival Schools. I love it!

Made by the same devs

THGM you made me buy EX3. I love it thanks for talking about it

The game was actually very hard to find in Australia. I had to hire this from the local video store to play it. One of my mates had connections with a video game shop and was able to get EX2 in and I played this game for hours. It was great and it is so under rated. We used to play the 5 v 5 and play 4 randoms and your main, so we had to get used to playing all the characters. The blisters I used to get on my thumb after a session.

Now i am very curious about ex3, since i own it but never really played. But i guess that is a testament on the retrospective and review thst this video covers

I liked Street Fighter EX. But then again, I like 3D fighters over 2D ones (though two-dimensional SNK fighting games are good too). P.S. Oh, and PlayStation had Guilty Gear, series which remained the best looking 2D fighting game for most of history. Anyway, EX had some cool designs, Pullum Purna is great, so are Blair and her replacement Sharon in EX2.

You clearly haven't heard of 2 Old 2 Furious. We've been playing EX2 still till this day.

Thank you so much for dialing back the creepiness of the intro videos. No longer have to mash the K button at the start of new videos from you. Yay.

The sound track was king in that game. My favourite one is Kairi character.

This was my first Street fighter jump since the Genesis. And I was blown away... My fave street fighter cuase theres nothing like it. Some call it sluggish but I see it as a more realistic take that's why I love it up untill this day.

This is hands down my absolute favourite street fighter game in all of the series, everything about it is beautiful, and it's very underrated.

Just bought sf ex plus alpha a couple months ago. Along with rival schools one and 2. Love those games.

I regret street fighter EX games wasn't included into the Street Fighter 30th anniversary collection

The night my bro bought this! It had JUST COME OUT! We traded lots if stuff in and needed a 2nd controller. Only PS controller they had was the now RARE! "Dual Analog Controller" Was the 1st to have the 2 sticks. Years before the dual shock could be rolled out (because of Nintendos control of copyright and vibration function) it had a green and red setting on the button to turn the sticks on. What a life time ago
