Gameplay

TheStreet Fighter EXfighting system uses fighting systems from theStreet Fighter IIandStreet Fighter Alphaseries, but also has some original ones. In many ways,EXstill plays like a 2D fighting game, but the linear plane in which characters fight often changes along a 3D arena. The game uses special moves and super combos familiar or similar to previous games in the series. Unlike in theStreet Fighter Alphatitles orDarkstalkers,the EX series features a super meter with three separate sections, not levels, which is unique to this spinoff game series.

Aside from throwing the opponent or wearing away their health by using special moves, a way to fight blocking is the "Guard Break". The Guard Break is a move that, if it connects with the blocking opponent, breaks the block and makes the opponent dizzy. The Guard Break can be used at any time with one level of the Super Combo gauge.[6]This is also a SF mechanic but in Alpha, the guard break simply results in an opening, while EX guard break is more like a stun.

A special move can be done after a regular move or another special move; this is called "Canceling". In the process of doing a Super Combo, another Super Combo can be performed. This is called "Super Canceling" and can be done with Super Combos. This allows a player to string multiple super combos together for monumental damage.

Versions and characters

edit

The originalStreet Fighter EXfeatures 17 characters, growing to 23 for the home release. With a total of 18 new characters in the three games of theStreet Fighter EXseries, this represents the largest original set of characters introduced in a singleStreet Fighterseries. Several of these characters would appear in other games produced by Arika, such asFighting EX Layer.

Holger was the sole survivor of his unit, but suffered tremendous physical and mental scars. He seeks revenge against Guile, feeling that he did not train him sufficiently.

Introduced inStreet Fighter EX Plus

edit

A few months after the original version ofStreet Fighter EXwas released, an upgraded version titledStreet Fighter EX Pluswas released in arcades on March 31, 1997. In this version, all of the hidden time-released characters are available by default. This version also adds four new hidden characters, increasing the total number of characters to 21: Evil Ryu fromStreet Fighter Alpha 2,an alternate version of Hokuto named Bloody Hokuto, and two cyborgs named Cycloid-β and Cycloid-γ.

  • Cycloid-β(サイクロイド-β,Saikuroido Bēta)andCycloid-γ(サイクロイド-γ,Saikuroido Ganma),both appear as secret characters inStreet Fighter EX PlusandEX Plus α,are a pair of cyborgs that use the special techniques of other characters. Beta primarily uses command-based special moves, while Gamma specializes in charge-based moves. Both characters were based on test models used for motion capture during the development of the game. Beta is an untextured blue polygonal model resembling a male human, and Gamma is a greenwireframedmodel.[20]In the Japanese version ofStreet Fighter EX Plus αfor the PlayStation, Gamma is given an additional back-story, a weapon secretly developed by Pullum's father Balba to annihilate a huge criminal organization.[21]InStreet Fighter EX2 Plus,an unidentified Cycloid model appears in one of the bonus rounds.

Introduced inStreet Fighter EX Plus α

edit

ThePlayStationversion of the game, titledStreet Fighter EX Plus Alphaand promoted asStreet Fighter EX Plus α,was released on July 17, 1997. All of the characters from the arcade version ofEX Plusare included, along with two characters exclusive to this version, increasing the total number of characters to 23. Alongside new final boss Garuda, several returningStreet Fightercharacters were also added to the roster:Dhalsim,Sakura,Akuma,andM. Bison.[22]In addition, there is a hiddenbonus stagewhere the player has to smash barrels, similar to one of the three bonus stages fromStreet Fighter II.[23]

The PlayStation version also includes several game modes in addition to the Arcade mode: a dedicated two-player Versus mode, Practice mode, Team Battle mode,Survival mode,Time Attackmode, and Watch mode where the player witnesses a match between two computer-controlled characters. The PlayStation version also includes an arranged soundtrack and CG animated endings for all of the characters.

  • Garuda(ガルダ)first appears as a non-playable boss character in the originalStreet Fighter EX,but becomes a playable character in subsequent installments. Built around the concept of "a badass with a sword hidden on his back".[24]According to his back-story in the originalStreet Fighter EX,he was created by the souls of dead men who were consumed by theSatsui no Hadō,although his revised back-story inStreet Fighter EX2suggests that he has an accumulation of negative feelings such as anger, hatred, envy, treachery, and despair. Garuda's form is said to change depending on his opponent: he takes a strong form against warriors seeking strength and feeds on the hatred of warriors who are seeking vengeance.[25]Garuda returns as the antagonist ofFighting EX Layer,revived by absorbing Kairi's negative energy.

Development

edit

Development of the game was headed byAkira Nishitani,best known for his work onStreet Fighter II.[26]Though the gaming media had widely perceived Capcom's first in-house polygonal fighting game,Star Gladiator,as a warm-up for their first polygonalStreet Fightergame, Arika did not consult with theStar Gladiatorteam in makingStreet Fighter EX.Arika vice president Ichiro Mihara explained, "In specific terms, it's a different development line. In addition, technically, it's completely different. The know-how we're using for this 2D/3D fighting game has no relation toStar Gladiator.Fundamentally, Arika is not a subsidiary company of Capcom.... Some people may be under the impression that as we came from Capcom, there's some sort of link between us but in reality it's a different team making a different game. The concept is new and the know-how is new. "[26]

ANintendo 64port was also announced for release in 1997,[27]but later cancelled.

Soundtrack

edit

The music was written by formerNamcocomposers, Takayuki Aihara,Shinji Hosoe,and Ayako Saso. The themes are predominantlyjazz fusion,withrockandelectronic dance musicelements. EntitledStreet Fighter EX－SCITRON 1500 SERIES,the complete 20-track CD album was released on February 21, 1997 byPony Canyon,complete with a 19-track voice collection.[28]The 13-track live band CDStreet Fighter EX Arrange Sound Traxwas released on March 5, 1997,[29]with a drama CD released on March 21 of the same year, all by Pony Canyon.[30]

Reception

edit

Critical reaction

edit

A reviewer forNext Generationcommended Capcom for bringing theStreet Fighterseries into 3D, but judgedStreet Fighter EXto be an ultimately failed attempt. He remarked that while the characters are evenly balanced and have a handful of innovative moves, "The game plays more like a distant cousin to theStreet Fighterseries "and is simply not as fun. He also found the animations and backgrounds to not be up toStreet Fighterstandards.[36]

The expanded PlayStation version was much more positively received.Next Generationexplained that it had far exceeded the arcade version by adding new characters and new gameplay modes, as well as correcting the feel, and called it "an outstanding title even non-SF devotees will enjoy."[37]BothNext GenerationandGameSpotassured readers that the look of the old characters had been faithfully translated to polygonal form,[34][37]and critics generally approved of the series' transition to polygonal graphics.[33][35][37][40]Dan Hsu ofElectronic Gaming Monthlysaid it was "What should've been called Street Fighter III" rather than the sprite-based game released under that name, and co-reviewer Howard Grossman said it "has the attraction of 3-D looks, 2-D playability and great options!"[33]GameSpotdescribed it as "a fun game with great gameplay, better than average aesthetics, and a large number of characters" and "a 3D Street Fighter game worthy of its heritage."[34]TheOfficial UK PlayStation Magazinesaid that the "gameplay is as recognisable as the Taj Mahal", and that it was "the most fun we've ever had with Streetfighting sinceTurbo",rating the lifespan as 10/10. They concluded" this is like a second honeymoon. The true master of martial arts games remains unrivalled. "[citation needed]IGN's Jason Boor stated "this is one of the best Street Fighters I've ever played, and I think it's a good switch. It's still a 2D fighter, but it looks a whole lot better."[35]GameProsimilarly said that it "adds a cool polygonal 3D look to the classic game while keeping the fun, basic gameplay that's made the series one of the fighting genre's all-time best."[40]

Critics also overwhelmingly liked the new characters the game introduced,[32][33][35][37][40]withNext Generationdescribing them as "very playable and distinct"[37]and Ed Lomas writing inComputer and Video Gamesthat they "start to grow on you before long - especially Skullo."[32]The most common reservation critics had was that the game did not do quite enough to change up the technique from previousStreet Fightergames. Hsu said that while there were enough changes in the moves and timing to challengeStreet Fighterveterans, he was disappointed that the new characters all used the traditional fireball and dragon punch joypad motions,[33]andGameProlikewise opined that it made them feel like "Ken and Ryu clones."[40]

The PlayStation version was a runner-up for "Fighting Game of the Year" (behindStreet Fighter Collection) atElectronic Gaming Monthly's 1997 Editors' Choice Awards.[41]In 1998PlayStation: The Official Magazinelisted it as number 9 on their "best PlayStation games of all time".[42]The PlayStation version also received a nomination for "Console Fighting Game of the Year"during theAIAS'inaugural Interactive Achievement Awards.[43]

Commercial

edit

In Japan,Game MachinelistedStreet Fighter EXon their February 15, 1997 issue as being the second most-successful arcade game of the month.[44]Game Machinealso listedStreet Fighter EX Pluson their May 15, 1997 issue as being the sixth most-successful arcade game of the month.[45]In North America, the arcade version saw limited distribution.[46]

The PlayStation version sold over 400,000 total copies worldwide after its first year on sale, qualifying for thePlatinum Range.[citation needed]

Sequels

edit

A sequel toStreet Fighter EX,Street Fighter EX2,was released on May 26, 1998. It was also followed by an upgraded version titledStreet Fighter EX2 Plus,which was released in arcades and ported to the PlayStation in 1999. The third game in the series,Street Fighter EX3,was released exclusively for thePlayStation 2on March 4, 2000. TheStreet Fighter EXgames all run at avertical resolutionof 480 lines, which made them the onlyStreet Fightergames to run at a definition above 256 lines until the release ofStreet Fighter IV(which also has 3D graphics) in 2008.

Both Allen Snider and Blair Dane appear in Arika's arcade exclusive fighting game,Fighting Layer,released in Japan by Namco in 1998.

In early 2017, Arika announced that a new fighting game was in development with the working title "Arika EX". On April 1, 2017, a teaser for a new title featuring theStreet Fighter EXcharacters was released, which was initially believed to be anApril Fool'sjoke.[47]It was later revealed that the game was indeed in development and that more information would be revealed duringEVO 2017.The game was released in June 2018 under the nameFighting EX Layer.
