Capcom: "Let me hide SF EX under the rug and release another version of Street Fighter 2"
This game is so good, it takes a bit to get used to, but it's definitely worth a try, it even has side tournaments at EVO
Another fantastic entry in the criminally underrated SF EX series
Vulcano Rosso was a damn good addition to EX2 Plus. Some crazy combos with that dude
You're finally part of the Raid™ Shadow© Legends® TH-cam sponsorship party!
This is also engagement.
Always mad the whole ex series was underrated and never talked about. It's my favorite street fighter series
I loved playing this as a kid! My best friend had me get it and we played it so much. Being able to do an actual Tatsu with Ken was so cool, and a lot of the characters were really fun. Still remember the cheat code to unlock everyone on PS1.
It is ALWAYS in my ROMs to emulate PS1, my favorite fighting game of all time!
Well, I play it, and it one of my fav fighters. Definitely over looked. Hopefully by this giving the series more exposure, people will find the greatness that is ARIKA's fighters.
Damn that was one long Raid ad.
I still play this on the regular great game, only downer was there was no Akuma. The addition of the excel mode was awesome making for so crazy custom combos
Akuma was in EX + @ before this one however ( I still own them both)
@@Excel86j I know I own all 3 of ex games.
I'm sure he is in the game on ps 1 you have to unlock him. great game
@@xxphillips Akuma was only on the first ex game, he wasnt in the later games namely 2 and 3. This is why I said its the only downer of EX 2, he was missing from the game.
Aftekhar Khan yes you are right I always thought I played the second one with him but it was about 25 years ago. Take care
Now that you are reaching the late 90s could you talk about the xmen academy series
Loved the guest character.... Spider-Man!
I played a lot of SF II and all of its iterations, SF Alpha 1, 2 and 3, SFIV and SFV. But the game I had the most fun ever, playing against the AI, someone else, was definitely SFEX2 plus. I really loved the way you could supercancel combos, do the meteor combo, and especially the challenges, which were hard to the right point. More over I absolutely love the soundtrack and some stages were awesome. I really wish some of the chars come back to SF, which now is impossible I think. Volcano Rosso, Skullo, Shadow Geist and Area.
The biggest down side is the history, there is no history at all, something that is not understandable given the SFEX1 had endings for all characters. Also, the 3d models are bit clunky.
But yeah, most fun SF ever for me, much better than SFEX3
Marvel v. Capcom 2: Ruby Heart, Jill Valentine, Sakura
That is all.
Funny enough this is one of the SF games I've spent the most hours on. Spent countless hours trying to beat Bison 2 as a kid. And I didn't even know the requirements to meet the secret fights. Kept trying via trial and error. Still loved this game though. I'd love to see an actual 3D designed street fighter.
Man! I love these videos! And actually, EX2+ on the PSX is one of my all time favorites!
This game along with tekken 3 and darkstalkers 3 it was makes me a fan of fighting games and a gamer back in 1998,my uncle god rest his soul and his wife,gave me his ps1 and 20 games. It changed my life forever and became a gamer.
Thank you uncle Nasser.🙏🏼R.I.P.
I don't ever remember the frame rate being so bad.
Me neither. I played it at arcades and it was smooth. It's his emulation play.
It's his Emulator. EX2 & EX2+ from my experience was never this bad, even my emulator plays it better. Not knocking him though.
If he is using mame it makes sense that its so slow.
He has new videos of the original EX2 up that eliminated the lag.
(The source of those videos, that is.)
Daamn Richard, Got that game sponsor $$..yeeeeeaaaahhhh!!!!!
Ur the Man, Top Hat Gaming Man!! Im also Richard from Los Angeles...Yeeeaaaaaahhhhh!!!
"Street fighter 4 was the first 3D street fighter developed by Capcom themselves." < *WRONG!* That's Not how you say Capcom Subcontracted it out to Eighting/ Rizing. *Capcom did not and CAN NOT develop a fighting game in-house anymore.* Capcom lacks the trained staff for that and have for YEARS.
It's funded, overseen and published by Capcom, but not *Made* by Capcom.
As for the EX Series being "swept under the rug"...
Funny, because Arika developed their own fighting game with the original characters they made for the EX series called Fighting EX Layer... You might want to give that a look as it's been selling pretty well on Steam and consoles.
Hardly "swept under the rug" especially since they have paid SNK for Terry Bogard of SNK's Fatal Fury/ Garou to be a selectable character.
Fatal Fury being designed by the original creator of Stree FIghter, Takashi Nishiyama.
if you want a game that was truly swept under the rug, check out Capcom Fighting All-Stars
Fighting EX layer was underfunded. There was even rumor that the game is fan funded.
I still play it. The EX trilogy is great! :D
This was one of my favorite street fighter game's THG
I play it. A lot actually. Plus, I think the graphics are pretty good and has great lighting and effects.
I played and loved this game a lot at that time! So happy to see the characters back again in Ex fighting layers!
I remember playing the EX games (except EX3) in the arcades at the time, I played them once, came away unimpressed with the game play, and thought it looked ugly, Went back to playing Capcoms 2D games.
Hey Top Hat Gamer, I love that you're covering this great series. Of all the video game series, this is an excellent choice. That's how I found your channel. Speaking of which, overall I love your content.
Keep up the good work! Can't wait for the next SF installment :)
Has one of the best fighting game soundtracks ever ex+alpha
Fun fact: in the Street Fighter EX series, when you make Guile perform a Sonic Boom, he will say "SHIT KABOOM!".
Looking forward to that Fighting EX Layer video! 🦄🦄🦄
This game got a lot of hate when it was fresh. I really enjoyed it, primarily I think because I always looked at the SFEX games as their own thing, separate from the 2d SF games. This one has some fun mechanics and imo is one of the better 3d fighters from this period in gaming.
No actually, EX2 was always considered the best version of the EX series while EX3 was most hated
EX2 actually does still get competitive play but you have to live in NY or Japan. lol
Brotha Top Hat! Great video as always. FYI the PS1 port of the original arcade game released here in the U.S. which I own goes by “Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha” as announced after the movie intro in the game 😀.
The title is actually Fighting EX Layer. The Original Fighting Layer is also made by Arika, but its an old arcade title that was made sometime between EX2 & EX3 (some say it was before EX2 some say after, but its an obscure arcade title that pretty good honestly.)
This game was sooper dope!
Forgot to mention that, this is the 1ST SF Game to ever include Combo trials.... which is a very good feature to learn the game and the character of your choice. Not only that, it is very likely he Guard Crush attack inspired the Focus Attack in SF4....
Another thing to note... although this series has made a very good job covering the capcom fighters, no video has actually touched the Fighting Game Community subject matter, and In my opinion..... should be touched on
I wish Arika & Capcom Released Street Fighter EX Collection with Fighting Layer as a Bonus & it includes both Arcade & Console Versions:
Arcade = EX, EX Plus, EX2, EX2 Plus, Fighting Layer
Console = EX Plus Alpha, SX2 Plus, EX3
These run & look great when played on a PSP. I haven't tested them on Vita/Adrenaline.
I loved playing Street Fighter EX2 Plus in arcades! It was a fun game! It was a 3D Street Fighter game before Street Fighter 4
Omg can't wait!" Till u you do a video about fighting layer and street fighter EX3 omg!"
The super combos and challenges in EX 2 PLUS Alpha were epic. way more creative version of street fighter
Wait, Street Fighter 4 was made by Dimps not Capcom.
I remember playing this in the arcade and while I'm playing it, my thought was I'd rather play Virtual Fighter 2.
Ex 4 is coming. 👌
EX Layer is basically this
@@SeelkadoomandJokic00 but without meteor finish 😭
Perhaps no one plays it anymore because it came out decades ago and we're all busy playing the plethora of new games we got since?
I been playing this alot on my playstation classic through autobleem. Love your vids..
Since The EX Games are using the Playstation Engine, The EX Collection should be Published by Sony like SF5.
I see EX2 get played all the time though. Like, they're constantly doing tournaments of this game to this day.
ARIKA has released a new game this year.If i remember right.
Fighting Layer EX was released Dec 2017 or thats what it says online. I dont remember seeing it til 2018. Other than the small-ish roster its a fun fighter.
tetris 99 right?
This game was a staple in the rotation back in high school.
The statement "Why no one plays it?" is absolutely not true. This game was and still is played allot in Asia and Europe.
i still play it! lol ive got it for ps1. its a great game and it has the best m bison ive ever played, hes my favorite character on that game
Start out within the first 1-2 minutes of the video with a 2-3 minute talking point about the ad.
Say that you found this fun, exciting app that you just can't get enough of.
Tell them 3-5 different features of the app that you specifically love.
Tell an emotional and engaging story about how the app has influenced your life.
Show at least one full minute of gameplay.
I’ll refer you to my previous comment on ex ....
Still, interesting video from the historical viewpoint.
Do a video on Capcom fighting All-Stars Capcom Never released fighting game from 2002 end 2003
A few years ago, I saw some footage of Capcom "Fighting All-Stars" on some site, and it looked absolutely fantastic. I think it was replaced with the "Capcom Fighting Jam" game. Not 100% sure.
@@19zach75 no Capcom fighting Jam is the same as u.s capcom fighting evolution same names in different regions that's the only difference--- Capcom fighting all stars was a 3D fighting game supposed to be released 2002 of winter-- later got canned 2003 testors didn't like the game because it was 3D but? If you look back at the game from 2002 it look like Tekken, if 2005 lol No bs,-- the game was ahead, known fact!" From sfex1,sfex2,sfex3 --the man we know today miharasan is responsible for [Capcom fighting All-Stars] but Capcom canlled it. Which? Started the feud for 18 years today we have fighting ex layer is still growing-- which they are going to add characters from the original fighting layer from 98 on the brand new fighting ex layer..
@TrueSinister exactly Capcom came in and change the whole entire game using cheap-ass Sprites characters from the original game like? Street Fighter 3rd Strike Street Fighter Alpha darkstalkers red Earth and to a 2-D game that didn't make any sense just to cover up Capcom fighting all stars so they call that Capcom fighting evolution overseas it's called Capcom fighting jam
The only character that made it out of Capcom fighting all stars was Ingrid her first appearance was in Capcom fighting all stars---
@TrueSinister ...then it had to have been a "test-footage" video that I had seen. It looked really good to me but, I guess the majority didn't think so.
I keep playing former Street Fighter EX2 Street Fighter Street Fighter EX3
they should make a remaster for this game with online mode . even if its $60 I'll buy this game for sure
EX2 Plus is actually great in the opions of many SF pros like JWong.
Character select screen could have been better
The only TH-camr in the gaming community that could probably kick my ass 😂. Great content as usual.
For me, going from beautifully animated 2D sprites with loads of character to flat, clunky polygons and a game with a choppy frame rate was a huge step backwards. I played it briefly to see what it was about and never returned.
Not to nit pick but its not "Ex Plus A" the "A" is actually the latin symbol for Alpha so its "Ex Plus Alpha"
It does make differentiating it from the actual Alpha series more difficult but...well that's capcom for you lol.
You can hear the Announce say "Alpha".
the main issue is accessibility: in the competitive scene people dislike the playstation 1 version for framerate problems and loading times; setting up a supergun with the original arcade game can be very tough, especially if one plans to stream it.
thankfully we have Fighting EX Layer nowadays, and its loads better to play than street fighter 5.
as for actual modern footage, you should check out the acho and mikado arcade channels, those people play a lot of ex2+.
same goes for some of the american folks that love the game and are still at it.
I used to love it!
Quick suggestion: add the publication or author below the quotes!
I really do like how you execute these history of Street Fighter videos. What I like is the collection of information you collect and some of it i didn't even know. I think it would be better if you did a video on both the original Fighting Layer and Street Fighter EX3 since here isn't too much info to disguss about Fighting Layer at least, or do that when you get to Fighting EX Layer. Probably makes more sense that way.
This game have beautiful music 🇹🇹
Say what?!?!?! Sponsored episodes now, the Top Hat Gaming Man has made some changes.
Indeed, thank you for your on going viewership! Without it, sponsors would never have approached me.
You have been a great teacher for me and expanding my view of gaming. Thank you for your hard work.
New subscriber 😀
The only thing i didn't like is the hurricane kick movement in your game but it was still fun
I loved both SFEX 1 and 2; never got the chance to play EX 3
But you have to admit Street Fighter ex2 have won the best original soundtracks ever
Final Bison is such a nightmare. I think of myself okay at the EX series but I'm lucky if I can get a single hit on him.
This review was really nostalgic bro great job👍
Graphically it didn't age well, mechanically it still holds up
Capcom: "whoa that mortal kombat game is super popular and stealing our business what do we do?" *Realeses Stree Fighter: The Movie - The game*
Capcom: "whoa that tekken game is super popular and stealing our business what do we do?" *releases Sf ex*
Digital Ignition is the best theme in this game.
They are all amazing !
@@axelstone1383 Aw yeah!
SFEX is basically the DBGT of SF Franchise
That is so spot on
wow amazing video huge fan of street fighter
Meteor Combo was in the original for Akuma. The Raging Demon was a Meteor Combo.
my friends and I played this game for hours... good game
His plug in / ad ends @2:24.... ur welcome.
Japanese version had blood here and there.
Dude are you crazy ex2 plus was the best game play, the ability to cancel supers and the metro. No other street fighter game inspired you to come up with ways to beat your opponent in the second round with a string of combo's and super cancellations. Ex2plus was the street fighter version of rival schools
All these videos are fire Mr. Top Hat. Word. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great video! I liked this analysis.
I have to add something: years ago I played an arcade version very different where the final Boss was Garuda and if you don't lose any round and super finish some matches (I don't remember how much) you fight against Kairi. Another detail is that Shadow Geist is a mid boss similar to PS2 version.
Also in this game is between matches you can se an screen with the Street Fighter Ex universe map (very different to the world map we know).
Do you know something about this version?
Will you ever do a video on street fighter 2010?
Raid, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one :D Brilliant
Best TH-cam intro ever
Best street fighter game. This game deservs a remake or remastered.
Love how these titles are so absolute....."Why NO ONE PLAYS IT"...........
Thinks about the fact i still play it for fun & its combos..............checks comments.....hmmmmm?
NO ONE? Except a tonne of commenters ;)
Love your vids by the way...gave it a like definitely.....just a personal gripe on a lot of video descriptions all round on youtube lately lol.
"10 things YOU'VE never heard of "...."4 things YOU missed in the last trailer for bla bla" ..etc etc :)
i grew up playing this version of game ....
It was pretty popular in arcades at the time and was popular on the playstation
Great cast of characters I wish would come back, Darun Mister was my favourite
My childhood memories, Street Fighter EX2 Plus on the Playstation! :)
Are you emulating this? I don’t remember this having such a terrible stuttering frame rate.
Clearly the EX series is successful being there is 3 games and multiple updates of it so the games was slightly like but I disagree on the nobody talk about this game this game still talked about and brought up when it comes to Street Fighter games a lot of fans want a EX4 to be made.
Best Fuckin name ever. Hello. Im the Top Hat Gaming Man!
So wheres the why no one plays it part?
I'd play this over the sf3 or mvc games anyday
SF3's weird roster was why I avoided those games.
Loving all these street fighter videos
I had the first and I thought it was really nice.. Oddly I remember running to the mall to check out this one when it was brand new before running to a Cure concert!
I suppose it would take a lot of thought to narrow down which versions of SF are my top 5 or top 3..
skullomania has to make a comeback
