      I agree . 3 was peak! I loved this waaaaaaay more than traditional street fighter even as a kid. Especially the characters. Would love it if we could have these characters be permanent main stays even if they are in the ex layer games that I think are a bit janky if I’m being honest

    The biggest reason why SFEX3 wasn't popular:
    • It's as lacking in content, cutscenes, single-player modes, and features as the vanilla version of SFV.
    • What made it worse is that only two newcomers made it into the roster, which was both Ace and Evil Ryu, but all they were is just replacements to Cycloid and Gouki.
    • All Capcom & ARIKA needed to do to fix the game, was to make a *Street Fighter EX3 Plus.*

    Man I used to play this game all day and night on my PlayStation 2. I think "Street Fighter EX3" was a decent polygon fighting game. It's a shame Akira Nishiyama cut ties with ARIKA.. otherwise we could have gotten a new STREET FIGHTER EX for the new generation of consoles 👍

    As someone who loves SF EX1 & 2, EX3 just felt mid to me. The graphics were better, but they were trying to do too much in some places, while doing too little in other places. The tag element felt tacked on, and the mechanics just felt like one big practice mode. It’s strange that the first two EX games felt smoother than EX3, even thought they were running on older hardware. And tbh, EX3 didn’t curb my appetite for Street Fighter; my friends and I were proud owners of the Anniversary Collection with 3rd Strike and the SFII movie, as well as the Alpha Anthology. So even though we didn’t rock with SF EX3, we were still playing every other SF game, and we jumped at the chance to play SFIV when it dropped.

      Capcom Fighting Evolution was explicitly the game whose failure drove Capcom to sit down and genuinely reevaluate what they were doing in the genre.
      A pity that said reevaluation brought with it an apparent crippling fear of their fighting games cannibalizing each other.

    Man the good ol times of street fighter EX. I remember the arcade days with street fighter ex plus alpha. The voice of the announcer, the tone of sound the character makes, the music oh man the freaking music, all of them were fire. Character selection was pretty awesome too. I eventually got EX1 on the PS1. It sucks that EX3 didn't do so well. I myself enjoyed the heck out of it.

    It played like tekken, except everyone had common moves like Mortal Kombat and each character had a very limited number of special moves. This was horribly inferior to Tekken itself.

    @JakeGrey-o5y 2 месяца назад +1

    Also Ace should’ve had his own moves and story as a new character
    and we should’ve got Blair and Allen to come back along with Boxer Rose Guy and Gen
    Blair and Allen should’ve been in EX2 but that’s a whole other issue
    Despite the flaws, these games are better than street fighter 3 and all of the characters are better than rufus hakan aki and fang and marisa..

    This game was great and underrated. If it was not for the fact that it was on the PS2 where network play was not as easy to set up as it was on the PS3, and the emulation for it only just caught up, it would have received more attention.
    Upload it to Steam or the PS Network today and see what happens. If they can do that to SvC Chaos, they can do it with this and make a bit of a coin!

  • @PandemoniumPirateRadio
    @PandemoniumPirateRadio 2 месяца назад

    I remember seeing Tekken Tag showcased before the release of the PS2 and it just looked WAY better than EX3.
    I never even considered playing EX 3 because it looked so lackluster vs the much more impressive competition.
    Tekken Tag 1 had SUCH a good game design and graphics it honestly beat the graphics of several Tekken sequels with its style and design 😵‍💫
    If you compare the games in 4K on emulator. Tekken tag still looks better in almost all ways.
    So I’d assume the regular consumer saw it the same way. The visual impression of some games just left all competitors in the dirt completely

    On a personal level, I just didn't have a big interest in 3D SF even though I liked EX1 and 2. I'd play them but it just wasn't as fun as the 2D stuff. Multiplayer was very fun with friends though.
    Have to say though that EX's character illustrations are still excellent. Used to decorate my school books with magazine cutouts!

    I just never cared too much for 3D Fighting games. It's not like there aren't good 3D fighters like Tekken, Soul Cabalur. Virtua Fighter, Rival Schools. The major issue I have is 3D tends to age quicker than 2D and half 3D.

    A lot of people preferred Tekken Tag Tournament which came out around the same time. These 2 games were both launch titles for the PS2. Also being on CD format was a bad move, should’ve been a DVD. Over time the PS2 wouldn’t be able to read CDs.

    I like SFEX one and two for the PSOne, it had a lot going for it, with its lore, new characters and gameplay mechanics. And I'll admit SFEX 3 was my least favorite I still liked it, like a guilty pleasure. But my unpopular opinion it wasn't bad enough to kill the franchise. what almost killed the franchise was crossed over games. people wanted more capcom crossovers than the original SF. if any game was to blame for street fighters demised its Street fighter X Tekken.
