air drills r pretty safe and good for close range pressure. actually dont they give frame advantage on block? also Sharon mid tier? idk
Kairi - Demons are only good for punishes, The beam doesnât cause the stance change like in ex 3 still hurts, dive kicks are about as unsafe as pullumâs since he cancel them into another jump theyâre a little bit better. His fireball barely works as the recovery to it is too slow.
Hokuto - Why are you using this character when there is Nanase? Only thing she has is mixing up her rekka with highâs and lows. Donât forget her main combo requires 2 bars. Other she has her lvl 3 which only should be used as an AA.
Darun - Has the Gamble and ⌠yeah I should have him lower.
Pullumâs - drills are unsafe on block.
Sharon has ton of combos she is pretty much herself as she was in regular sfex2.
Pullums drills can be safe on block if done from the right distance. Similar to Bisons slide. Infact if you did her ground drill meaty enough you could link a crouching strong afterwards. In EX3 you can also tag cancel her ground drill eliminating all recovery. You can also kick momentary into the air drill from her tenâel kick creating a nice little loop of block damage and rush down.
Ace has 2 infinites. a jab 3 star dragon punch executed correctly sends your opponent into a juggle state. Each one does about 8% damage so it scales pretty well and you could kill the opponent in about 12-13 of them. He also has chunliâs lightning kick infinite. So if youâre able to reliably perform those then youâd be pretty broken. Also the fact since heâs editable your opponent can never really learn the match up. The one flaw is that he doesnât have punch or kick momentaries. It was also theorized though never fully tested that his moves may do more damage if you level them up. Opposed to just certain moves gaining special properties (like the fireball being able to be performed in the air, same with the fairy gift).
That last list was from someone named friction who loved bison. But the list was based only on who he played as and the computer. So as a result he never saw the full scope for all the characters hence why some characters are lower than others in similar lists. Infact he doesnât even list all the characters.
Is this game ONLY available to play through a legit PS1/PS2 copy, as I canât find any of them in the PSN storeâŚ
instant air drills r amazing can blow people up in footsies and give you easy links into combos.
sharon is upper mid at worst imo. looks of good close range tools and combo damage
Pullum is too floaty and that drill isnât safe upclose. Priority it has is pretty laughable as well not mention reversals would just beat it.
Bringing up combos lol. The thing is most characters have a 100% combo in the game if they canât youâll probably die after few more hits. Hell there is a mode dedicated to it in the game.
ummmm you were the one that brought up combos originally not me. my post about sharon was in agreement with yours.
Rusty as all hell but weâre working on it lol. Once I get my PS2 so thereâs multiple units, weâll check if if itâs viable to do weekly/monthly sessions.
Play EX3, is the best game of the series. EX2+ would be better (IMO), if didnt had excels.
Mixah : Yeah, thats the only way. You can also dl the isos, and run them through an emu, couple peeps still play EX2 on Kaillera.
Spoiler
This is my list about the game, almost the same as Shinji.
Everyone already knows about the god tier, top tier are the next best characters with some minor stuff in their way (Sim and Area not doing dat excessive damage, Ryu being the most well rounded character in the game, Garuda having the CP OV DEATH).
I included a top mid part, those are good characters with even a couple more hindrances (Shadow and Chun depending too much on meter, Guile and Bison being solid good, but a tad predictable / linear when you know how to play against them, Dark having lotsa setups and excelent zoning but not enough damage, Hokuto just being her asshole self as always), but DEADLY characters in good hands / team order / situations (like Shadow with 3+bars, Chun getting hit tagged in with 2 bars, BISON getting hit tagged in with just one bar, Guile and Dark opening / without meter, and Hokuto with full 6 bars).
Middle is simple: Good characters with their bad and good matches. MIDDLE TIER IS ONE OF THE BEST MIDDLE TIERS EVER due to the tag nature of the game, THOSE ARE DEADLY CHARACTER WHEN WELL PAIRED (Blanka + Garuda, Bison + Sagat, Pullum + Rosso, Nanase + Sim are some nasty combinations i´ve seen).
Vega and Sak just dont have enough oooomph in the game. Everything they do, other characters do it faaaaar better. They´re not useless, but no real reason to pick them when the game has sooo much fun and dynamic characters.
The order between tiers is equal, btw. Maybe i´ll do a separate battery and user tier list later. All of this is IMO, of course.
Weâll still be playing this. But Iâm sure once the other guy finds his copy of PS2 EX3, it will join the rotation too.
Anyone know where I can find EX2+ cheap?
whee else can you get out of print games? ebay of course just watch out for people that artificially inflate the price because its âoldâ.
Yeah, I checked eBay before my post but the asking prices are ridiculous. I thought someone here might know a good place or site.
well there were a few between 8 and 10 dollars. Otherwise you could DL an ISO and play it on an emu on your PC. Or just keep on watching ebay and see if anyone lists for $5 dollars. Either way itâd be way cheaper than the EX2P arcade board that I imported from japan for almost 300.
yeah, looks like someone has one now for 5.95.
you could already dled an iso, made the trials, played a couple matches in Kaillera, get angry at the stupidness of excel, and deleted the iso at this point, @King9999
@Mr.PaVy-RD are you Dominican?
yeah why?
Also i didnt know capcom made in arranged soundtrack for this game,Sounds really good
EX3 has arranged versions of all playable character themes, too. They sound really good. Especially Heat Wind, Rising Dragoon, Under Tube, Colan RossoStrange SunsetâŚbasically all of them.
