ENTER SKULLOMANIA - Street Fighter EX+: SF Legacy 2016 (Part 13)

[@dougexists]

Skullomania hated his job as a car salesman, and did what anyone would do.... Get a job at an amusement park, dressed as a super hero, and then fight crime under the alter ego of said super hero. Genius.

[@Deman_Dema]

Skullomania story change between EX1 and EX2 EX1 = businessman dress up as Skullomania EX2 = Real Skullomania, brother of Shadowgeist.

[@ArcadeStriker]

SFV page = Retcons the story back to EX1.

[@OsidiustheEmphatic]

Considering all the shoryus on wakeup, I'm betting that Ken was actually being played by Lupe Fiasco.

[@SatisfactoryBro]

LMAO

[@Sonchance]

+OsidiustheEmphatic LMFAO

[@lysergthiago]

You nailed it LOL

[@dagripper77]

Lol fixed ass fight...

[@IntroSpecktive]

My god i thought these graphics were revolutionary back when this game came out. Now it hurts my eyes. haha classic game

[@marccaselle8108]

N64 mayonnaise graphics and virtual boy graphics will hurt your eyes, these graphics are just fine 🙂

[@gabbahitta903]

16:05 I lost it beyond this point. "You are now player 3" My sides. Help.

[@ReimuHakureiShrine]

ARIKA celebrated their 20th anniversary by making a picture on their homepage showing all of their characters (Including the EX characters).

[@BComet]

Link?

[@Dre_aka_sleepysandman]

This game do have good music. Guile theme was so laid back. I remember me and my boys playing this for a hot min back in the day.

[@TheeChrisAdams]

"I got flipped turned around and the camera says you're now player 3" just one of the many reasons I love watching your videos max priceless

[@Carionoso7416]

Skullo for SFV? MAKE IT HAPPEN, CAPCOM!

[@romeb.1060]

Only if Arika gives Capcom the rights to use the EX characters.

[@RotaAbyssian]

+Rame Bare Even then I would want Skullomania for Tekken X Street Fighter.

[@kingcoheed1208]

+Rame Bare ... or Capcom buys out Arika

[@ZaWarubro]

+Kid Coheed with what money? Keks

[@kingcoheed1208]

+Za Warubro all the Micro Transaction cash they took from their players

[@SkyeArrow222]

Plus alpha was my jam when I was a kid. And it has an amazing soundtrack.

[@DanGatoPreto]

Am I the only one who hears Guile say "Peekaboo" sometimes in this game? xD

[@izaacgoncalvesgamer7428]

+DanGatoPreto Now i can't unhear it... Thanks bro

[@torquemonster290]

“Soniko buruum!!” ...shyt, I think you can hear “peakaboo!” In that! Lol

[@MagoDSnowman]

I want Skullomania to return SO BAD and ir's never going to happen

[@BComet]

Maybe in 2020...

[@anthonyruizz7824]

+Bruno A. Casais (B. Casais) or 2016....

[@timmer919hep]

EX characters will never make another appearance. ARIKA is demanding millions of dollars from Capcom for those characters.

[@BJGvideos]

He makes a brief appearance later on in the SF canon...albeit for a single panel in the Udon manga. But it at least shows that they CAN use him!

[@leviponce7730]

el fuerte kinda got a costume of him but that seems the closest we will get

[@kingcoheed1208]

I love the Fact that Guile gives you a Dragon Suplex as his throw

[@44elkiko]

6:10 ...is that mao in the background ?

[@CiccioImberlicchio]

To be fair This game doesn't look that aged, the first rivals school looks way more aged than this

[@JoeDarque]

One of my favorite memories about EX+A is when you go to fight Bison, he floats down, laughs, and says something that sounds like "Its on, you know it."

[@deathtrap2672]

Street Fighter Ex Plua Alpha was my childhood & it was my first contact with the SF franchise & since that day it became my favorite fighting franchise of all time maybe even my favorite franchise ever

[@razbloodalpha4982]

Used to play the crap out of EX+a back in the day! Love all the Arika characters, even Allen. Wish Capcom could make a deal with them and bring some of these guys to SFV.

[@marccaselle8108]

Allen in street fighter ex + is the Dan hibiki of SFEX.

[@NegoClau]

"HEY! IT'S THE ORIGINAL HAKAN!" My first reaction to HAKAN is something similar: "HEY! IT'S THE FIRST DARUN'S DISCIPLE!"

[@TrojanSalesmen1]

EX + Alpha was like the first street fighter i really got into.. I know it wasnt the best but.. it made me love the game. And Garuda was a badass. I miss him!

[@chillazar]

The animations, sound design and OST of the EX series are fantastic.

[@robertdukarm2578]

This is my favorite SF sound track out of the whole bunch.

[@Ananchel27]

Skullomania, BEST CHARACTER I'VE EVER PLAYED AS :)

[@bumblebee9736]

I'm literally playing this on my MAME, while having this video in the background. What a nice timing ! :) Always loved me some SFEX, though, admittedly, the gameplay formula didn't change drastically throughout the series at all. And that's why i prefer EX+ and + α.

[@buckyjr710]

Still have this game from back in the day. Loved Skullomania!!

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

The arcade version of this was actaully the very first Street Fighter game I've ever played. Seeing Bison with this rainbow colore fists has really brought back some memories!

[@0LukasYagami]

Don't know why everybody hates this series so much, I've played EX 2 when I was a kid and lose my shit having fun... There's so much characters that could be used in other SF series. Garuda is SICK AF! Nanase, Skullomania, Sharon, C. Jack.... Oh Capcom, bring them back! Love your channel Max, greetings from Brazil.

[@skurinski]

Pullum & Kairi

[@AstonWave007]

I love how Pullum just completely flips end over end when she's throwing you. LMAO.

[@hersh23]

I've always loved the Character Select Artwork for SF EX and EX2. Hopefully Max will do EX2 next because I think that was the best EX

[@NatsaryahTX]

Yeah, the artwork was really good. So was Rival Schools.

[@wdcain1]

+hersh23 EX2 is probably the best looking polygonal game on the ps1. The textures on Hayate's jacket are amazing. The game almost looks like a Dreamcast one.

[@Kenpachi88]

Street Fighter EX+ series. Home of the best Street Fighter soundtrack.

[@BJGvideos]

Nah, the best SF soundtrack was the guys they hired from Overclocked Remix. Though this is pretty jammin'.

[@SkylinePoint5oh]

Hey Max! Great vid! Skullo was one of my favs in the day, but my go to fighter was Hokuto. Was wondering if you'd consider playing Bloody Roar?

[@negrofam1]

the ex series was one of the best street fighter games. played it in the arcade loads of times

[@Sergevantes]

I haven't played a lot of this one back in the day, but I remember my brother got really into it. I always liked Pullum and also this was the only SF where the Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku was a command entry like Fei Long's Rekka Ken. It sure look a lot like the animation of Ryu's Tatsumaki in the SF The Animation Movie. Even if the new cast on this one may be trademark of Arika, I wonder if we'll see some of them in the new SF games. As Max said, Pullum sure is popular among fans.

[@0melleteDuFromage]

Had fun with this game when I was a kid playing as Kairi. First time I ever felt so pro in a fighting game after memorising his Raging Demon. Square-Square-forward-X-R1 on their low-polygonal asses.

[@justaninsane]

D.Dark must return....

[@BComet]

His backstory can fit perfectly with the canon series.

[@DarthErmac503]

+Bruno A. Casais (B. Casais) what is it ???

[@Pyroniusburn]

+TheFightingGamer He was in a unit in led by Guile who got into a fight with an opposing force, and was the only one left alive from either side, but was horribly wounded in the process and now needs a breathing apparatus. He blames Guile's obsessing over Bison for why they never received sufficient training, and escapes his hospital, seeking revenge on guile. Charlie and Rolento tie in there somewhere, just don't remember it perfectly.

[@BJGvideos]

+Pyroniusburn He looks about 18 though, gotta say. Either he lied about his age to get in, or someone needs to learn how to draw adults.

[@DarthErmac503]

Pyroniusburn Damn, thanks for the info. Btw is Rolento a bad guy or a good guy ? In sfiv he looks like an enemy.

[@JoelOman1980]

I remember playing Street Fighter EX3 on the PS2 also. But on the PSX, I was more into Rival Schools! ;) Though I must say, the BGM in the EX-series is really good! Kudos Arika!

[@SingerOfW]

18:40 On that day, Street Fighter has received a grim reminder...

[@dougexists]

They've genuinely teased a Skullomania return. Awesome. Just Awesome!

[@rasamatazz9823]

YEAH SKULLOMANIA loved this guy so much as a kid

[@quintintabura919]

This is a great game, I played this game for years and it never lost it's luster for me.

[@5TailFox]

The meteor actually means something. However many meteors you see at the end of your super tells you how many supers you managed to chain together before you finished the opponent. Finish with 1 super, you get one meteor. Chain 2 together, you get 2. Chain 3, and you get an asteroid field. The meteors can also signify the _level_ of super you finished with. For example, do the Super Skullo Crusher with just one button, and finish them, you get 1 meteor. Do it with all 3 punch buttons pressed, and you get an asteroid field.

[@TheBlazingkidtes]

Was this the one where Blair dame was on she was also in akira's fighting layers?

[@CovildoLeon]

"You mother pfeifer" Best PG13 cursing ever, Max.

[@triumph3428]

Max could you also do a series like this for bloody roar?

[@EmblemLord]

Guard breaks are awesome. I liked this mechanic. caused stun which you could combo off of but cost a resource and you got meter FAST in this game. you could zone or rush down and the frame traps were REAL. Game was damn solid.

[@xavierlynch1088]

can we talk about how Q is in the back ground at 0:03 ?

[@SlyBeast]

The EX series was way better than it had any right to be. I'd love to see some of these characters in V - Skullomania and Doctrine Dark in particular!

[@tigertony7724]

I remember playing this game come with all characters. No DLC or nothing . This game is a classic

[@ScionOfTheSeventhDawn]

Wait, I never thought of that, but where does the EX series fit in the SF canon? ....Does it fit at all?

[@blacktopsamurai9811]

No. Akira wanted to have their own characters to fight street fighter. Its not canon, nor does it have a story.

[@Zakk1010]

It's like a Arika vs Street Fighter.

[@BanditRev0lver]

EX series is not canon, as it was not developed by Capcom, but Arika.

[@NSFSponsor]

+Kenneth Waterman It has a story. It's just not canon. D. Dark actually use to work a unit under Guile's command in this games timeline.

[@justrev6755]

I was a bit surprised when I saw one of Guile's alt costumes in USF4 is DDark's main costume.

[@BakaTheStruggler]

"Wherever, you're now player 3!" I DIED. 😂

[@jamesdwhite873]

I remember being so hyped for EX3 when PS2 came out. It's a lot of fun. love the combo attacks.

[@ScullyLoveless]

so many memories

[@orlanzo2621]

the ps1 version of this game is one of my favorite street fighter games ever. i played it so much i got blisters.

[@xuvial1391]

This game had the best music out of the entire SF franchise. Arika composers were godlike.

[@xxnike0629xx]

Capcom should get an HD Collection of the EX games on the PS4.

[@NA-ju4vq]

Been on your channel for a while now (i think 2- 3 years?) I noticed you've used SFEX soundtracks (the arranged albums are some of the best OSts I've ever heard because of the j-fusion used) and now you're playing the games. Thank you for helping me re-live happy memories...going through some shit right now and haven't had a legit unforced smile in a while. If you ever do X-men vs Street fighter again, hit some double supers for me lol Why is Skullomania saying "Kevin Slayter" and why does SFEX3 have soooooo many characters.... Oh and can we get some EX3?!!

[@hoganmann]

I'm like you Max I loved this game! Karia was so bad ass to me. This in my opinion is the most underrated SF game period.

[@KoubuPilot]

Skullomania vs Pullum. You no longer have to totally fantasize if Jack Skellington fought Princess Jasmine at Disneyland. The 2D character portraits in this series always looked great.

[@slammedc2003]

The stage that he fought banana Ken on was the best looking one of the entire video.

[@Pathseacher]

Skullomania and Q for Street Fighter 5 DLC, Capcom please.

[@BComet]

Ono said in a interview, putting Skullomania in SFV is not going to happen, at least, not soon.

[@MrRedGreenBlue1]

Capcom can't use skullomania or any of the EX newcomers simply because they don't own them.

[@SilentJMillz327]

+MrRedGreenBlue1 They also said that they will try to work something out with whoever owns the EX characters which is Arika. They said it's not likely, but they will try.

[@Jose-se9pu]

+My Boy Sans Capcom doesnt own Skullmania

[@Pathseacher]

That stinks, but how come Mortal Kombat got the rights to add Jason, Leather Face, Alien, and etc? I'm sure capcom has enough money to buy them out since they gave ryu to super smash brothers.

[@portalsofmadnes]

I like the overall art style and presentation ,as well as the characters and faster gameplay of this game over SF4 and 5 anyday.

[@jignjorf9076]

2:30 Did Capcom take Ryu's Street Fighter V pose from freaking Skullomania?

[@DanKojak]

When playing EX in the arcade, I always heard Guile's sonic boom in this as "CHICK-aBOOO!"

[@Gustavozxd13]

guile's voice in this game is awesome

[@Ninten428cillman]

man I love the EX games aesthetic so much

[@BongerZ013]

Guile is freaking out at the fighting skeleton. "Sonic Bggrrroouuugh!"

[@kornsin]

Just thought of This... is Skullomania related in anyway to Akira from Rival Schools?

[@eliottheowl1384]

I started SF in the SNES version of II Turbo. When I played the EX series in the PS1 of my friend it was odd, so odd that I thought it was crap. But Skullomania saved the day, and I played the shit out of it in the 3 days that my friend left his ps1 with me, but I never defeated Bison in the end.

[@omegaweapon116]

I used to jam out to the music in this game. love it

[@OmniVirusHS]

Audio is fixed. Thank god!

[@jazzygeofferz]

I'm sure they had an EX machine in the arcade where I first played/finished Alpha 2. I played as Sharon who had a gun, didn't she? It was also the only Street Fighter game we owned when I was in Uni.

[@Iqzzy-KO]

Max can you play with Garuda, Kairi or Shadowgeist in EX3 since you played with Skullomania (my 3rd EX main), in this vid?

[@DomTheElegy]

Pullum looks almost identical to Rouge from Power Stone. Wonder if some guys from the EX team worked on that game as well.

[@millgiass]

I love EX+A. One of my favorite Street Fighter games. I wish Capcom would acquire the original characters.

[@BaconLordBear]

Street Fighter Ex Plus Alpha has always been one of my absolute favorite games. Even if it has the craziest audio files [but the most badass music] RIKKU BOOM.

[@Magitek1112]

Skullomania remains my favourite character from the EX series. How can you go wrong with a literal superhero character?

[@KindredDoomBot]

Yo my boy D. Dark in Ex 3 is too hype. He totally is my favorite street fighter character hands down.

[@raphaelcalado4335]

I love SF EX Plus Alpha! And the ost is so great!

[@branj18]

one of my favorite SF games

[@illsologamer]

Imma need you to play some X-Men mutant academy.

[@obitouchiha7067]

Holy fuck, this takes me back to middle school tournaments I ran for this.

[@hoboayoyo]

whats with that percent meter near the character select that changes when max reselects it?

[@kornsin]

Still have this one and EX2. it was and oddly highly technical game. I remember spending hours to get some of Alan's more extreme combos.

[@LORDGAGA_]

The Alpha version of this game is my childhood along with Tekken3😍

[@introducinggod8572]

Pullum has got those original attacks.. Like flash kick... And spiral arrow...

[@SilverNightbane]

The SF EX series is one of my guilty pleasures... Dunno why but it just appeals to me XD

[@SeijoVangelta]

I loved the art. Seriously, the character artwork looks cool. Too bad some of these characters were never seen again

[@jerzi88]

ex plus alpha was 1 of my favs...the combo system is what i loved about it! and the fact it was 3d

[@MrAmetaur]

There's a lot of very round icons that look familiar like S, V, and SS, but then you got an APPLE. Genius.

[@marccaselle8108]

Hey max, are you playing this on mame or a console collection?

[@AdeptRougeOfHorus]

Much better. Thanks Max.

[@wdcain1]

Has anyone noticed that Capcom is making characters akin to the EX crew in SFV? Charlie is now a cold brutal killer ala Doctrine Dark. Rashid's bodyguard Azam is a giant Arab wrestler just like Darun Mister. Laura Matsuda is a dance battler like Pullum Purna. And Necalli is a hunter of Dark Hadou just like Garuda. Maybe as future dlc, Ed will become a sentai hero and Helen will become an aristocratic fighter like Blair Dame.

[@rockmon1470]

Ex series is the best Street Fighter needs a game with a mega roster all characters ever

[@TheRedGoon]

Oh my god I remember playing EX Alpha as a kid. This shit was the only thing I played for a while on my friend's playstation.

[@ABK1505]

Damn this was actually the first fighting game I played, my father had it and when I was 6 he allowed me to use his playstation. He mostly had racing games, so I looked for something else and found this

[@FrozenCore84]

A divekick with his face. This character is awesome. Skullomania just faceplanting his way to victory.

[@mariov91mv]

Skullomania has its own game on the iPhone. Pretty fun game too

[@comichound1114]

So many memories! I love these characters ! Such a shame capcom can't do anything with them

[@SquidJoe]

Skullo, Pullum, Hokuto, Nanase and Shanon where my favorites in the EX series. Also Chun Li plays like a boss
