Arika is expecting to lose $$ on this project, but they still want to make it. That’s definitely a passion project.
Looking forward to the beta this fall. Hope it gets great support.
I’m going to predict they’ll be pleasantly surprised. 
This game looks really cool. I never played the orginal EX series. So is it a fully 3D game?
it was for the first reveal but later it’s back in 2d
Well, it’s still 3D, but they seemingly removed sidestep and normalized the size of stages. You can still get pushed around. I wonder if they’re just experimenting with gameplay to see where they want to go with it.
I wouldn’t count on any newer characters, since they’re expensive to make (going by Arika’s words).
I’m guessing the characters that they’re working with, are going to mostly consist of characters from the three EX games plus characters from the first Fighting Layer game.
1.) Ace
2.) Allen Snider
3.) Area
4.) Blair Dame
5.) Cappricio
6.) Clemence Keliber
7.) Crackerjack
8.) Cycloid Beta
9.) Cycloid Gama
10.) Darun Mister
11.) Doctrine Dark
12.) Exodus
13.) Garuda
14.) George Jensent
15.) Hayate
16.) Hokuto (Shirase)
17.) Hong Gillson
18.) Janis Luciani
19.) Jig Jid Bartol
20.) Joe Fendi
21.) Kairi
22.) Lan Yinghua
23.) Nanase
24.) Preston Ajax
25.) Pullum Purna
26.) Sessyu Tsukikage
27.) Shadowgeist
28.) Shang Fenghuang
29.) Sharon
30.) Skullomania
31.) Tetsuo Kato
32.) Vulcano Rosso
33.) Vold Ignitio
How many of them will actually make the cut, is up in the air.

There better be a bonus stage where you fight a shark.
The shark, tiger, eagle and the knight was amazing.
I hope something like SFex3 ending credits would return in such form were you beat a horde of various opponents with the other one that grows bigger.
Seeing SFex3 beat em up bonus return and redesigned with a timer and lifebar converted into a survival mini game named like a survive the horde which you encounter a couple of horde for a limited time that you need to avoid KO’ed before the time hits a number to win the match that would be awesome.
oh man I forgot about that. It was sayisfying to do a super and watch a bunch of badguys fly in the air dynasty warriors style.
I hope they make Super K.O. images as rediculous as they have been in priar games. Flying solar systems or buddha statues etc.
Yeah having that like a mini survival from a horde for an amount of time seems good idea to turn into a bonus game.
Arika is on daigothebeastv tonight. They’re talking a bit more about the game and also doing Q&A. Starts at 10pm eastern.
Cast starting to look solid with a lot of time until release. One reveal a month perhaps?
There will be 10 characters at launch and maybe 19 down the road.
The main focus will be on EX characters only, Fighting Layer characters may come later.
Beta in December
They have almost no money at all and can’t do that much.
PS4 only at the moment

Wow. Poor Arika…
10 is pretty low. I knew they wouldn’t be able to put a lot of characters, but I expected 12.
Well that only means there are going to be four more reveals before release. A bit bummed they didn’t consider atleast one Fighting Layer character, oh well I suppose Allen was in both.
Also, if money is a concern is there a good chance there won’t be a physical release?
Well, they can only work with what they have.
They should crowd fund stuff since its a playable game alreadyt
