Street Fighter EX3 (ストリートファイターEX3, Sutorīto Faitā EX Surī) is a 2Dhead-to-head fighting game with 3D graphics, developed by Arika and published by Capcom. It is the third and final console installment in the Street Fighter EX series. The game was first released on March 4, 2000 in Japan and on October 26, 2000 in North America as a launch title for the PlayStation 2, making it the first game in the Street Fighter series to be released on said console. It was subsequently released in Europe on March 2, 2001.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

Mechanics[edit]

Street Fighter EX3 features a similar gameplay system to its predecessor Street Fighter EX2 Plus with characters being able to pull off similar moves like Super Combos and Meteor Combos. However, a difference here is that the 'Guard Break' system from the previous installments has been removed and replaced with a similar system called the 'Surprise Blow' ('Hard Attack' in Japan), which does not use up energy stored in 'super bars,' although the attack can be blocked (only when standing).

Other additions are the 'Critical Parade' (calling out a tag-partner to simultaneously battle your opponent for a limited time) and 'Momentary Combo' (following a special attack with another). Some characters received new moves, such as Skullomania having a vertical projectile.

The core gameplay is essentially the same as previous installments. However, Street Fighter EX3 features Tag Battles, similar to Tekken Tag Tournament, allowing players to switch between characters and offering greater combination possibilities.

Modes[edit]

In Original Mode, the player can recruit a team of up to four characters that were the last to be defeated by the end of the level,[2] and can choose the next opponent(s), as is possible in Street Fighter III. The bonus stage is a simplified version of the beat 'em up genre. In this mode, there are also missions, which the player can complete in order to gain Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze trophies, which in turn unlock various features.

In Arena Mode, Dramatic Battles are possible, with 2-VS-2, 1-VS-3 (similarly to Battle 1 in Original Mode), or even 2-VS-1 (similarly to Battle 3 in Original Mode, if with a partner) with flexibility via a multitap over each character being controlled by human or computer. Original mode uses new music based on the background stage, while the VS and Team Battle modes reuse themes from earlier games, which are based on the chosen characters.

In Character Edit Mode, the player can complete a series of challenges with the new character, Ace, and earn experience points, which can then be used to obtain new Special Moves and Super Combos for Ace, which can then be applied to him to create a custom move list. A configuration example would be the Shoryuken, Sonic Boom, and Spinning Piledriver, as used by Seth in Street Fighter IV. Ace is also playable in the other available game modes.

Characters[edit]

Multiple costumes are available for each character, depending on the button used on the character in the Character Select screen.

Default characters

  • Vega (Balrog in Japan)
  • Hokuto / Bloody Hokuto (Chi no Fūin Tokareta Hokuto in Japan)

Unlockable characters

  • M. Bison (Vega in Japan)

Hidden characters

  • Evil Ryu (Satsui no Hadō ni Mezameta Ryū in Japan)
  • Bison II (Vega II in Japan)

CPU-controlled

  • Shin-Bison (True Vega in Japan, only playable through the use of a cheat device)

Reception[edit]

Famitsu32/40[3]

Next Generation[5]

Street Fighter EX3 received generally positive reviews from gaming critics. Gamecritics gave the game 7.5/10, stating that it had 'a group of pleasantly complex battlers that are very distinct in both visual and play design. Adding variety and flavor to the mix, the variances in philosophy and conceptualization are extremely refreshing', adding that the 'interestingly offbeat touches are far superior to the dull and ugly side of the spectrum found in Street Fighter III.'[6]

Jeff Gerstmann of GameSpot complained that the character animation is unimproved from Street Fighter EX2 and found the frequent sound changes jarring, but liked the sound effects and the bonus touches to the gameplay such as the stage which plays during the credits. He commented, 'The tag-team fighting adds a nice new element that the previous game totally lacked. EX3 may feel a bit rushed in some spots, but overall it's a fun and great-looking fighting game that won't disappoint longtime EX fans.'[4]

Chester Barber reviewed the game for Next Generation, rating it one star out of five, and stated that 'The EX series has always fallen short of the quality of many of the 2D Street Fighter games. However, if you're a fan, you probably won't be able to stop yourself from checking it out.'[5]

Spong said it was 'a game of skill, practice and timing', and that it had nice features and fantastic special effects. They summarised it as 'one game that deserves taking a look at whether you are a fan of the series or not'.[7]

In its week of release, the game made the top 10 in the Japanese sales charts, with 207,000 copies.[8]

While it may seem like a new trend in the automotive enthusiast community, widebody conversions, overfenders, and extensive body changes have been around for quite a while. Widebody conversions stem from the motorsports arena, where bigger tires, a need for passive aerodynamic improvements, and, of course, aggressive looks were paramount. What the widebody cars of famous series' like DTM and Group B inspired was a subset of automotive enthusiasts who customized their cars' exteriors extensively with aftermarket bumper covers, fenders, quarter panels, side skirts, rear wings, and totally transformed their ride into a one-of-a-kind version of an otherwise ‘normal' car. In recent years, the widebody trend has once again come back in vogue. SEMA is full of widened cars sporting either exposed hardware or molded wide bodies that attract tons of attention with their unique and intimidating look. There are almost countless producers now, some higher quality than others, but StreetFighter LA sticks out to us as one of the most aggressive, motorsport-inspired, and well-designed manufacturers of overfenders and widebody kits.

Street Fighter Ex 3 Cheats

One of our Summer Drift Series stars, Kevin Ferraro, recently had the pleasure of fitting the StreetFighter LA E36 Coupe kit on his supercharged 328is. Often, kits like this are used predominately for shows. Kevin, however, needed it to cover the extra track width from his angle kit and beefy tires. Some folks may argue there is nothing functional about a wide body kit, but on this E36, they'd be completely wrong.

While SFLA isn't the only one to produce kits in the style featured here on the E36, we certainly think they put their spin on the panels. The fitment, despite Kevin's wall-tapped rear quarter panel under the new overfenders, is incredible. Clearly, the guys behind SFLA are detail-oriented and enthusiasts themselves with penchants for E36 and E46 generation BMWs. It would come as no surprise, then, that those cars were where the small company got their start designing kits.

Street Fighter Ex3

Now, kits and more are available from SFLA with a broader range that extends beyond the Euro community. The aggressive style, extreme track width extension, and impeccable fitment make these kits attractive to anyone looking to stand out. Of course, you can find all the StreetFighter LA body kits right here at ECS Tuning. While you're there, be sure to check out our Summer Drift Series and follow us along as five of our employees drive and spark some friendly internal competition on the local drift courses as we round out the Summer.
