This game series has such a godly soundtrack that never gets the attention it deserves, which is to say NO attention at all. Big recommend.
Sakura's theme is Max's outro theme
Guile Theme - Strange Sunset.
I walk through the sunset after rain, blasting out my ears with that
The Garuda theme.......
Nuff said. :)
I can't remember what this is called but there is a game on steam and has all the non sf chars this series has and teary from king of fighters for some reason
EDIT: The game is called Fighting EX Layer
If you recommend a game for his soundtrack... That means is not worth playing.
Being able to play a ridiculous pit battle during the credits was a brilliant move that I wish more games would take inspiration from.
Sakura had a raging demon input that causes her to taunt then eyepoke someone for like 90% hp
Never forget Max’s reaction to this game
Waaait a minute-
WAAAAAYT A MINUTE
I still go back and watch it from time to time. It was puré gold!
And thus, slowly but surely, he started to believe as well.
"Mr. T is canon." Why didn't they make him playable?!
EX series was the pinnacle for me. I grew up with SF2 and its iterations, SF3 was outstanding but EX 2 and Ex 3 were just perfection. And surely the precursor to modern SF now.
I kind of wish we got a new SF EX from Arika though.
same for me. EX3 was one of my favorite fighting games of all time. it was one of my go to fighting games for a very long time. these youtube videos all seem to barely scratch the surface of it.
Check out Fighting EX Layer it's by Arika and features their original characters
@@Phomzito thanks already have, it's decent but they still need that crossover with the SF franchise to make it great imo.
I have fond memories of playing this in my teens. I knew it was an absolutely budget mess of a fighting game, but I enjoyed it anyway. This game in particular made me a fan of Arika's particular brand of jankiness.
The legends play Skullomania
If you tag team Hokuto and Ken it should unlock Kenshiro. Just saying.
Who would have thought that this game's Original mode would inspire Street Fighter 6's World Tour
Damn, you dropped this video the same day as my birthday. You're amazing, Matt
@@genuinelymoist73 Yeah? I'm playing Mortal Kombat Deception with my brother
That thumbnail really tricked me. Ken's outfit looked like an extension of Skullomania's scarf. So it sort of looks like Ken's unmasking himself as Skullomania.
Other than Super SF2 on SNES when I was like 5, I had the weirdest intro to Street Fighter between this, Puzzle Fighter and MVC2. I grew to love the Arika characters as much as the Capcom ones, the music ruled, I didn't know how to do supers but when I saw them they were rad. I probably bought this game like 8 times over my life, it holds a special place in my heart
The announcer in this is Ayame's voice actor from the first Tenchu game.
"Street Fighter EX3... you won't need that where you're going!"
Ken always has the stankiest face in these games lol
This game was my childhood first ps2 game and game in general fell in love with street fighter since
It was one of my first ones too and I genuinely enjoyed it, though some characters from Arika were really weird.
@@filippomarzaduri565 Yes I agree so was the skull guy and the other one who was his partner and the other guy who was like a insane version of Ryu and Ken
Ken Masters, who is super rich "I can pay you in exposure..."
This game was a launch title for the ps2. And back into the ps1 last days it impressed me.
People who shit talk this game never played it for long. Just like they shit talked 3rd strike before evo moment 37. One of the selling points was having more than 2 characters on the screen at the same time, something the ps1 era 3d fighting games could not handle
Quality over quantity, am i right?
Yes, you're totally right. The game's graphics are damn good, too. I don't know why people shit on Street Fighter EX 3
@@drstephenstrange897 Eh, I don't think Tekken 3 is a masterpiece. Besides, it's a PS1 game. You can't compare these titles in a fair way lol
@@drstephenstrange897 You talking too much shit, bruh. Back in 99 both this and tekken tag had the tag 3d mechanic as a selling point.
And people ONLY started talking shit when evo moment 37 happened and everyone started playing 3rd strike and marvel.
At the time (99/00) this game and cvs had all the hype.
Aside from the tekken fans, nobody really gave 2 shits about tag tournament.
@@drstephenstrange897 nobody gave two shits about tekken 3 in 2000. The hype was around mvc2, cvs and in japan, the dreamcast version soul calibur and virtua fighter.
I've always thought this game had some really cool music.
Edit: Wait, I may have mistaken this for EX2 Plus...
"Exprosive!"-
“My brain pulling a Scott Pilgrim brainfart”
This looks more like a 3D Martial Champion game than Street Fighter. That or I’m waiting for Matt to talk about Konami’s weird fighting game attempts like Martial Champion and Battle Tryst.
Its nice they give you a choice between Democrat Ace and Republican Ace.
It's always a good day when Matt releases a new video.
Then it's practically always a good day
true
@@simopen exactly.
This is gonna sound weird, but as a kid I was deathly afraid of the Buddha statue showing up.
lol
I wish this series continued but we don’t deserve such awesomeness in this world😢
We would have been get ex4 if it wasn't for sf4
Ken + Sharon = Karon. Super manager call ex. This game was rad back in the day. Those backgrounds are weird though haha
Commissioned SFM for SF EX 3 on Rule 34 is now underway.
It has Nanase tho?
Blair is only on the first SFEX game, but you can also find her in Fighting Layer.
Never got into the Street Fighter series too much but I did own this one back in the day. Loved this game
More a fan of the first two EX games, despite that I can't exactly complain about having a third, it tries to do something new with the tag system and custom character Ace. Compared to the fighters at the time it could be seen as a lesser title though, still it's good for what it is. Apparently, it was rushed for the PS2 launch, so I wonder how it would be if it got more polish.
For some reason EX Plus Alpha is actually my favorite SF now, I'd owe that to the Arika characters, OST, gameplay, and mostly nostalgia.
2:20 Sakura in this series and her theme debuted in Street Fighter EX Plus α, the PS1 port of the first game.
20:38 This picture is Mr.T easter egg and cameo characters.
Yep
I remember the day I went to the store and copped this game... we had just gotten new ps2's and I was over my dad's house one day thinking man there's gotta be a street fighter game for this thing. My stepmom was always very nice to me (because she was replacing my mom lol) so down to the store we went at my request, on a pure hunch that there's gotta be a street fighter game down there at toys'r'us. They used to have a big wall with all the covers inbedded into it. We looked for a while and my older brother looked too, and the guy that worked there went to the back to look. Nothing. I guess my pupil got really small like a neuromancer implant and before they dragged me out of the store, i locked my little eyeballs on it and was able to take home my ps2 street fighter game, it had a blue cd disk and for a few months my ps2 wouldn't even boot it anymore lol. For a while tbh I forgot this game existed, but picking it up reminds me that it's one of my favorite games. Just that song 'move' makes the game for me.
These backgrounds look amazing and then the camera moves and it's vomit inducing.
I never tried this game back in the day because everyone was saying it was barebones and boring, I should have picked it up I loved ex 1 and 2 and this looks like alot of fun
I love the EX series they are just a fun time.
Garuda! Skullomania! Duran Meister! Sharon! Ace! Hokuto! Nanase!
This was one of the first 7 games I got with my PS2. Still really fun, if not a tad easy.
This was already one of my favorite games because its so wild.
Baby Jesus, Saint Mary, and Mr. T are cannon in the Street Fighter Universe.
YES.
My buddies and I played this after having played the classics Street Fighters before it. Some of the shit in this game had us laughing so hard. Dhalsims super when he grabs his legs and floats at you while blowing fire ha. And Zangiefs super when he spinning pile drives you from orbit had us in tears.
My auto subtitles just introduced you as batman muscles. That's a new one. 😂
Thumbnail gif for this video is the cleanest I've seen in a while
Ah this is cool it kinda seems to play like fexl at least with the overhead and supercancels
You should definitely continue this.
Oh Em Gee this brought back some serious memories
This is the only game I'm aware of that got the opposite fate of CASTLEVANIA 2: SIMON'S QUEST where a viral internet video completely changed the discussion around a game to the positive. I had this game very early in the PS2 life span and NO ONE cared about it but I was a SF partisan and loved it. Over the years I wore out a couple copies and replaced them at GameStop for less than ten bucks a shot. Now it's a hidden gem.
7:12 I sincerely believe fighting games need more stuff like this.
Ok that end bit I'd like to see as a rogue like.
I loved this game so much, played this back in highschool
Because max will never do it matt should do a rate the super for SFEX3
The little portrait of mr T absolutely killed me
i 100% vote to keep going! This was my favorite Street Fighter (Kairi, all the way), and NOBODY seemed to talk about it!
@@drstephenstrange897 I get that "enjoyment level" doesn't always equate to "good" (i.e. Big Rigs), but in general if I gained much enjoyment from a game and it kept me wanting to play more, I would call it good. And this did/was. Tastes differ, as always.
still own my copy since the game came out tbh... this probably my most favorite one out of all the games... 4 comes second. lol keep playing to unlock and use all the special chararcters!
The game is primed for fun videos.
More, plz.
Skullomania!
this world needs a street fighter beat em up D:
THIS IS GREAT. MORE PLEASE.
I have owned this game for nearly 20 years...and I have NEVER noticed that picture of Mr. T in the background of Bison's stage.
I remember my first 4th Wall experience in gaming was with Vega's grab attack, where he slams you against the screen. I couldn't get enough of it as a kid. Spammed that shit.
If you time button presses to the hits of Sagat's Tiger Storm, the fireball he fires at the end gets bigger.
Nanase’s theme is iconic
Skullomania is the greatest fighting game character of all time and I will hear no objections to this.
hell yeah. He was my favourite back in the day haha
Facts
Objection Dan is better 😤
Sagat is waaaay too over, he was the champ at one point. The girl with the future rollerblades is available, she can break the glass ceiling of boydom.
I believe the Madonna and Child was a famous stolen painting that was never recovered. It was also referenced in the Hellfish episode of the Simpsons, if i'm seeing it clearly. The promo picture of Mr. T is of course a masterpiece as well.
Can't believe it took me 10 whole seconds before the Hokuto no Ken joke landed in my head
Sadly I couldn't afford a PS2 at launch and SFEX3 passed me by but man, SFEXPa - so, so many good times. Skullomania is a character that *should* suck on paper but in game was an absolute beast. The OST too - mmmm!
SFEXP2 was great as well, although I didnt play it quite as much. I think Crackerjack KICKING YOU AGAINST THE MOON though was one of the most incredible things I'd ever seen in gaming up to that point.
Heck, it still is incredible- who am I kidding?
I can't believe Mr. T is canon to Street Fighter!
That's the guard break, i might play this when i get home
Great use of Maximilian having a 2001 a space odyssey moment
Sounds like it
You should try street fighter EX plus alpha, it was sick lol
Dude you laugh like Morden from Metal Slug. Good times!
I love the secret characters evil ryu,shin bison and narrator sakura
Clunky? Yes. Charming? Kinda. Music? FUCKING BANGING!
I actually unironically liked this game lol... I think the graphics were pretty good for early ps2 3d, also the color palette is actually Street Fighter Like. Aaaaanyway I remember buying it in 2012 something out of nostalgia and frustration because I haven't been able to play it back in the day, just stuck looking at screenshots in magazines 😂😔
Somehow these games are a meme now but Ex2 plus trigger a shitload of nostalgia in me, specially the cover art🤔 I still remember seeing the cover artworks in magazines and catalogues and I was so triggered I didnt have a ps1 😂 aaaanyway bought this one too.
Isn'it weird Capcom literally just released a Garuda skin for Sf5 like just now?
Why after 20 fucking years they finally acknowledged Arika? 🤔 we coulda have an Ex4 or crossover characters in all these years. Capcom even ignored these 3 Ex games in the 30th Anniversary collection Timeline of Sf, as if they never existed 🤔 sad!
Could this possibly be the end of some insanely long useless battle between these two ? 🤔
Do you think we will see Rival Schools 3 before 2030 and CvsSnk3 before 2040? A new Darkstalkers?
Onimusha? LOST PLANET??¿¿ Viewtiful Joe? MEGAMAN?? 🤔
Do you think the big heads in Capcom will finally stop looking at numbers and stick their fingers out of their asses and maybe I dont know 🤔 chillout on Resident Evil and do something not retarded with these others Ips 🤔
It's been 15 years maybe 20 Im thinking Capcom is incredibly out of touch with their own public 🤔 like not connected to it 🤔 everything is very old fashioned in their way of doing anything related to these Ip I mentionned. They did good with MH though, I wont deny it, and even though Im not a RE fan It seems they're doing well too (not without fails remember RE6? Lol).
I meaaaan I wish I knew in 2009 Dmc5 would take a decade to release 😅 It would have helped to just stop "expecting" from Capcom.
They used to be a brand of quality, like 20 years ago you hear "Capcom" you have this magic feeling of wonders 😃 they made you dream.
Now you hear Capcom, first you have ptsd of unwanted buttsex then you're scared how they gonna try to rob you this time 🤔
Anyway. Oh no I wrote a pavé again ...😢
Not gonna lie, Doctrine Dark is a money name lol
Sounds like a character from Paradise Killer
Don't know why but I love this game.
One arena fighter you should play is Dissidia Final Fantasy now that was fun!
That sound effect of menu selection is the same as DOOM 64's item acquisition?
The best Street Fighter EVER
Whooosh
They really put the ex in relax
Why am I getting Bloody Roar 1 or 2 vibes, watching Mr. McMuscles play this? 0_o
Doctrine Dark is US/German I believe.
That max video is hilarious.
What a strange Street Fighter game, very interesting to watch.
Speaking of Jump Force it's deluxe edition is like 76% off on PSN...i was tempted to see how bad it is.
Garuda is amazing
Honestly, as an ignorant kid who hadn't played a fighting game that was well balanced with good mechanics, I thought this game was hella fun and allowed for ridiculous custom combos and flashy finishes.
I absolutely love this game!!!!!!!
completely unrelated but what happened to soul reaver?
Is Garuda supposed to be a super saiyan?
Game was awesome. Loved it.
is it me or does it sound like Sagat saying Tigercow and Tigershark at times...lol
remember the motion controller they made for this game?
No
@@MattMcMuscles yeah, it wasn't made by Capcom obviously, but there was brand-X controller that was basically gloves with motion sensors and a DDR pad (I think it was called Ultimate Kickboxing) that, if I remember correctly boasted its compatibility with this game on the back of the box. My local game store from back then had them right next to each other to try to get someone to buy it.
id love to see play some bushido blade
What if your name is Austin Steven Smith? Or Franklin Allen Gallagher?
Gotta unlock my dude Garuda!
Oh yea Matt you right. Jump Force was a shoddy game made in the back of a ramen takeout place and they're just milking it for the cast. It was never meant to be "good" lol
The best game
Keep playing
The worst Street Fighter EX game I remember playing this and just baffled at how short this game was.Not only that but it lacked most of what ex and ex 2 had and overall I just didn't enjoy it at all.I hate this game and that's no sarcasm that my friends is the truth.
Can't tell if he's joking about the game or is being serious about it being good. I used to love this game.
Its one of these internet things where people hate something by osmosis and it becames like the default thing. Ah, a hate mob.
@@drstephenstrange897 I played this game back when it was released and since sf 4 came out everyone shits on it without realizing it was very influential to the 4 series.
