Street fighter EX thread(EX, EX+, Ex+@, EX2, EX2+, EX3)

ShinjiGohan: Lost in the abyss of time! lol
Seriously I would like to have something to contribute to your site cause EX is cool. It wont be as interesting to see NY vs NY, but someone pushed me to propose a meet with some of your players in Jersey for EX3. Since none of us have ever played eachother if they are interested they came come to NY Anarcade one Friday or Saturday sometime in Jaurary or Februrary and we can get some casuals in, poosibly throw a tournament and he proposed a 4 on4 or 5 on 5 NY vs Jersey for money since most of the players are from Jersey? Am I right?
I dunno if you want like I said my friend came up with the idea and if they are willing to come to NY we can all set something up.We can record it and get it to you. Once again if theyre up for it!

Oh btw to ADarkSilhouette. Regarding Sharon, After knockdown, meaty back+fierce…low foward…double twist punch, Sharon Conclusion (qcbx2+p) is good for both good damage and meaty.

Well presently the only 2 people that should be in jersey ATM is jester and sensei. Nekki is supposively coming back but I have no idea on when that would be. And gen is pretty much lost (no idea of where he is and where he’s going).

So that’d be 2 on 4-5. But I’ll pass the idea to them (assuming they don’t check this thread out… which isn’t too likely).

Well there are probably other people from their group that drifted away (Doc, Binfdisk, rbdracula and whomever else that I might have seen once or twice at neoavalon when that site was still up). But chances aren’t likely of them getting more people beyond jester and sensei. so roundrobin probably won’t work, so likely just casuals or a regular tournament would have to do.

Though for that sharon combo, that should link regularly and the meaty isn’t required, but will probably make it easier.

Does anyone think that SFEX3 would have gotten better sales if it wasn’t a launch title for the ps2?

To be honest, it sold somewhat well. Better than most capcom fighting game sales for the PS2, and even the DC, at least last I checked. But would it have done a bit better if it didn’t come out before TTT and DoA2? Probably.

It also didn’t help that most magazines reviewed the Japanese version which is plagued with horrendous slow down making tags combos and traps nearly impossible. Most articles bombed it in scoring due to this and it was assumed that the polished US version was the same.

dang looks like there was an EX3 tournament in NYC a couple weeks ago…

no chance that any of that was recorded was there jeron?

Well not much of an update but I experiemented with guile a bit today.

If an opponent is landing from an attack or a jumpin against guile try the following.

cb.lp,f+lk,db,uf+k

So basicly you’re going to combo a crouching light punch into a knee bazooka, into his double somersault kick.

this does work against all size characters (only tried it on sakura and zangief, but should work for everyone inbetween lol).

or if you have bar try instead a crouching hard punch, tag, then knee bazooka into the double somersault. Which would be something to consider if you do any throw tag combos, or some other type of tag combo that allows you to juggle the opponent with guile.

So one idea (while opponent is crouching)
ryu: j.hp, s.lp, tag, c.mp, c.hk
guile: c.lp, knee bazooka, double somersault.

No Shinji none of that was recorded but they plan on recording some stuff at the next event there and if EX gets drafted again I’ll see what I can do about getting it for you!

Yea, if possible that’d be great.

Also have you played Alex Valle in EX? He supposively has a mean Doctrine Dark and Chun Li.

It seemed Capcom and Arika purposly did a half ass job on SFEX3. I love playing it with other people but alone I have no reason to play it. I got all the secret characters and prizes in like 3 hours. They could have made the game more challanging and added more extras.

Well what do you expect for a launch title that only had 3 months separating the PSX release of EX2+ and the PS2 release of EX3.

EX3 has one of the WORST AIs ever created. You need at least 2 players to even begin to scratch the surface of this game, 4 is even better though.

Shinji, gonna be cleaning the rust out soon, got Nekki coming back in a month, and possibly Gen too. Hopefully I’ll break out of my 3S obssession but I’m still trying to refine my Alex. :tup:

not sure if I should be happy or scared. lol

Ah don’t sweat it, you saw how rusty I was at ACEN, and that was from only a 3 month lay off. I think a full weekend playing Nekki though will get me back into the EX3 groove, sometimes a break from a particular game is exactly what you need to get back into it full strength again.

how is ex plus alpha? thinking of picking up both that and ex3

IMO

EX3>EX1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>EX2

heh, reason i want to pickup 1 is just to play as blair

well on top of the first EX, you could also play her in fighting layer if you could get your hands on that somehow.

what system is that on?

Japanese Arcade. So yea thats why I said “if”. Though it is emulated if you wanted to go that route.
