Over on my wrestling channel tonight we look at the story of how The Kat Lost her job in the WWF. GO SUBSCRIBE! kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5zJaYRteZyYhMU

[@devingiles6597]

Hey. Top Hat Gaming Man. Can you please do a video on Guilty Gear X?

[@azuresonic69]

Funny story with my memories of the EX serie's in arcades: there was a guy at my local arcade in Brooklyn, NY who would stand on the side of the cabinet. Making Blanka's noises and screams while you played. Non-stop. He wasn't well mentally and I suppose that was his way of expressing enthusiasm about street fighter. But, man, he would scare families out of the arcade. Not me, though. Had to get my SF fix.

[@303Smilezzz]

a very new york story lol. Hopefully that guy is doing alright these days.

[@Basaraassassin]

The problem with the people back in the day , is that they did not understand that this was an ARIKA game with SF characters as guests. not a new street fighter or the sucessor of the street fighter Saga, this was just a move from ARIKA to net money on their game. the game is amazing and unique in mechanics, the new characters are really colorful and fun , specially the likes of GARUDA,SKULLOMANIA, etc..

[@BruceLeeroyX]

It was really Street Fighter x Fighting Layer.

[@HypnoSwag]

The music, brah... The music. Easily some of the best in the entire series.

[@fightinggames4ever976]

I like to see a Street Fighter EX4 or have EX characters become playable in a Street Fighter game or have Street Fighter vs. Fighting EX Layer.

[@FIXTREME]

I think by now, it would be more appropriate to have Capcom send over their characters as DLC, rather than vice versa

[@zarostheemptylord5893]

I need garuda back in a streetfighter game

[@KenMasters.]

Instead of all those, we got Fighting EX Layer.

[@gogreengameon2146]

This was such an underrated game. I'm not sure the reviewers at the time really understood SF very well. Personally, I'd much rather play this online than SF4 or SF5.

[@ProtoSnake]

There's some interviews of Street Fighter EX from *shmuplations* that needs translating. If someone is interested in voting for them. Just so you guys know, I'm willing to vote for it, if I have more voters backing me up.

The soundtrack is dope! Shinji Hosoe for the win: Rising Dragon or Spinning Bird

The best deja vu ever! Keep up the good work fella and stay safe. Hope LD and the sprogs are well.

[@brichan1851]

I just spent tonight playing Street Fighter EX + alpha 2 and that made me look this video up. Kudos to giving recognition to one of the best of the forgotten series out there. I loved these games and feel they deserve their place in Street Fighter history. As always, you rock!

[@SotNist]

I always thought this game was unnecessarily hated on at the time, though it was a tad too focused on floaty air juggles and log combos, but that's ok. It made the combo challenges in the EX master mode extremely fun imo.

[@100mesmerized9]

The EX series is underrated it should be remastered but Arika might be the ones to do that instead of Capcom.

[@Basaraassassin]

there is fighting ex layer . a modern game to keep up the arika company.

[@hunchoquon60]

Ex 3 was the perfect game for street fighter fans at the time. Tag matches. 2 on 2 at the same time on one screen. The end credits where you fight ppl and one guy keeps growing as he’s knocked down. Everyone I knew loved it. And you had to beat the game with ryu 8 times I think it was to get evil ryu when you hold select

[@Omgits7ito]

Hokuto and Pullum Purna where my all time favs

[@jorgediegoolivieri]

Awesome! This is the only series of videos i haven't watched separately. Thanks 👌

I cant think of a game that wouldn't be improved by some jiggly

[@585totodamgood]

Absolutely loved Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha... me and my friends spent hours playing that game.

[@robertsanders3503]

I love this series.. I was always hoping for a EX4. I even got EX Fighting Layer

[@ll_spud]

This games was great. It was very popular at the arcades & ps2 home console in Australia. Maybe a reason why the home console version didn't sell so well was due to the mod chips being available at the time for the ps2. I remember playing this heaps with my friends back in the days. It plays different to the 2d versions but once u get the hang of it, its really rewarding.

[@VIP-Princess]

Funny now that I'm busy playing street fighter X tekken🤣👏🏼

[@VIP-Princess]

sameeeeeeeone one day we might

[@christoferprestipino7433]

The EX Series contains the following highlights for the series: Best original characters/designs Best post SF2 themes of classic characters (great music overall, but Third Strike IS king) Best gameplay mechanics - guard breaks, Excels (far superior to A2 CC and A3 V-ISM) special/super cancels, momentary cancels, FANTASTIC tag mechanic, tag supers. Also, almost none of the criticisms raised in this video hold any weight (SF EX having T1 graphics, clunky controls, fuck off)

[@zarostheemptylord5893]

Ex3 was one of my first ps2 games..I wish garuda would be brought in to the new games

[@nathanfrancomarques8168]

Fighting Ex Layer: Another Dash is a very fun fighter with a free demo on Switch. If you like SFEX, try it out!

[@Omega1bloodlimit]

Street fighter ex 2 plus alpha is amazing to me. Alpha 3 (the original port to ps1) is the best street fighter game for fun play. But ex 2 plus alpha was top 3 for me in terms of fun

[@Mr.Wormsworth]

spent many nights passing the controllers around playing EX2 with my roommates so freaking long ago. great games. great video Mr Top Hat Gaming man

[@hugejackedman3447]

I know it's a year late but the real reason these games didn't do so well comes down to obscurity and no real reason to play. At that time I was a hardcore FG gamer and I had no clue that there was a 3D SF game. I found out by sheer accident talking to someone at school who themselves barely even knew the name! lol He just said it was Street Fighter in 3D with Ken and Ryu doing their Hurricane kick differently. So one day at the video store I just happen to see a game with the Street Fighter title that I had never seen before and figured that must have been it. The game wasn't even being sold at any of the retailers in the area, Gamestop included. Even though I had a lot of fun playing "a Street Fighter game in a somewhat different way", there was just no reason for anyone to play it except the few differences from the mainline series. The 2nd one was actually quite boring! 😂 But at least it was less obscure than the first. And EX3 was definitely the best of them but by that time who cared? We had DOA2 which was damaging enough, let alone Soul Calibur. But Tekken Tag Tournament absolutely devoured Street Fighter EX3. It didn't look or feel like traditional Street FIghter, but it wasn't different enough to compare with the main 3D FGs at the time. By trying to combine the best of two worlds we already had anyway, why would we have a reason to play it?

[@AcornElectron]

Ooooo coming up on my 6 month sub icon.

[@TheSuckoShow]

I really liked this series, and it was fun having this offshoot roster of obscure Street Fighter characters. The second half of the 90s were an exciting time to be into video games because developers were still figuring out what to do with 3D.

[@juggernautheadcrush4161]

Despite playing a lot of SF2 in the arcades and on Snes, and even more Alpha 2 on Psx, EX really broke open the floodgates of love for Street Fighter with me. I imported EX2 on release and printed out a translation for the missions so I could unlock the hidden characters. So good.

[@sportfuryman]

The only arcade that had this game was the Santa Monica pier some 27 miles from me. I drove there in a 60s muscle car which got ten miles to gallon about 4 times a week so yeah I really loved this game lol. I used the wierd skeleton dude

[@stanettiels7367]

28:14 “Looking at this game with 2019 eyes......” Me: 👀”Have I had a time slip?”

[@jacksmith4460]

I loved EX+Alpha, I rank fighting games like this CvS2> SF3 Third Strike> Alpha 3 > EX+Alpha > Alpha2/SF3 2nd Impact> SuperTurbo > all others I Have probably play most on CvS2.> EX +Alpha> SF30th anni > SF2Champion(SEGA 16bit) > World Warrior SNES > MK Deadly Alliance > all others Never really liked MK, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, KI, SNK games, Marvel vs Capcom,Xmen etc) I always felt EX+ Alpha was good if you took it at face value, a fighter that played like an SF title, but looked like Tekken, and I felt te controls were pretty fluid for a PS1 fighting game. I also loved the 3 stage super gauge and the guard breaks

[@nicholassullivan1239]

I bought that game (ex Alpha) when it was released and loved it.

[@thaddcorbett2148]

It was really hard for me to get into 3D fighters, because the graphics for 2D fighters looked so much better.

[@brandonlee9791]

Theses street fighter🐲 ex plus alpha. & street fighter ex 2 plus, was around the same time that I had all tekkens games Tekken 1 Tekken 2 & Tekken 3... And I still do have them all except I can't play Street Fighter EX + Alpha for U guys because it's a Japanese version. Both games are Japanese and are both Region 🇯🇵 Locked, if I had Japanese version PS1 it might work 🤔, games which I used to own the original versions Aussie UK & Europe version of the titles. But later after sold it. Because I bought them pre-owned when EBgames was Selling out all of 👍Psone👌 title's🔒 which I think was crazy, because PS1 games are pretty expensive, especially on eBay almost as expensive as the Sega Master System Shinobi console UK and Europe version. I yet along played a lot of fighting games with my Cousins, they used to say piss off Shin Garuda to me. I couldn't of asked for a better childhood. I mean half of the time they got angry even with Super smash Brothers on & N-64 considering that came out in 1999 and then soon after. they invented the gamecube which had Super smash Brothers melee & dragon ball z Budokai,which I still remember everything even clay fighter 63 1/3, most of these games had a pretty good combo system they weren't very impossible to 🌎recognise🌎, and my cousins absolutely hated that because they didn't like the throwing system and whenever it came to Super smash Brothers on the N64 there's always want to make the teams unfair by making three of them against me, I remember how much arguing there was it was quite 😂 silly🤷‍♂️. Seeing that being by myself. Which I didn't mind I liked a good challenge sometimes, I think I'll say remember another one called bloody Roar and killer instinct gold✌️...

[@CyrusCageSCWS]

This game feels so similar to street fighter 4. To me it's the prototype.

[@zpe1200]

My Bro had a modded ps1 and managed to get a copied disc of ex alpha which I really liked as I could juggle and chain combos that I couldn't on the normal games.

[@EmmettLBrown2015]

Street Fighter EX seems to finally be getting it's due credit. Thanks to Top'll Fix It for this video 👍👍

[@xGunbladeKnightx]

I thought you were only going to talk about SFEX but I am glad that you included the story of Fighting Layer, personally I enjoyed SFEX1 and 2 a lot, 3 was cool because of the changes but I expected something more and the truth is I would have preferred this saga to continue instead of SFIV coming out because I liked the EX-type gameplay better and its not-so-exaggerated 3D character design.

[@BIGGIEDEVIL]

I remember playing EX years after it came out since my friends and I had absolutely no clue it was released let alone in the arcade for years, this game was up against the vs series of games witch was extremely popular in Ontario Canada why this game was over looked then and even now it just doesn't have enough to distinguish itself from other 3D Fighters

[@OneUponADime]

I didnt even know Ex 3 existed

[@realamericannegro977]

Ex never deserved the hate it got. I still have EX 3 and need to get the 2nd. In my opinion EX 2 looks better than 3 aesthetically.

[@TheBengalDragon]

When I bought streetfighter EX3, the first thing I thought is that oh my god this game is trying desperately to be like taken but they don’t know how to be like tekken Even down to the controller customization screen they copied that from Tekken As I mentioned previously, the reason why Tekken is the greatest 3-D fighter of all time is because Tekken was so good that it essentially bullied each and every other fighting game in the 3-D genre into submission and obsoletion. Dead or Alive put up a fight but lost in the end Virtual fighter was never in the discussion. And I don’t know why people keep talking about depth in virtual fighter. I played two of the virtual fighter games and I found that they have less depth than Dead or Alive a game that has less depth than Tekken

Never understood why this series was never released on N64, it's not sprite based, so not a problem to the cache texture of the N64. Maybe Capcom/Arika were too busy kissing Sony a** that gen.

SF EX PLUIS WAS A GREAT GAME.

[@youcantkilltwice5596]

Here listen from true fighting game abouth Street Fighter Ex 2 plus. I played this game life time even half of them single player. This game not get a lot aclaim because of 3 big reasons : 1 DIFFICULTY, 2 STORY, 3 Graphics 1 Difficulty Yes, Sfex2+ was difficult game. Exel mech one of the greatest both offensive and defensife mechanicsever ever. Good players used it very well. They connected 3 exel bars and made death combos. Bad players hated from this. Did not figure out how they are doing this. Desbite being key of this game, Game doesnt have tutorial and explanations people stuck with their poor play. Again EXEL mech is everything for this game not just a tool. In close combat exel instantly broke oppenent pressure and letting player aply combo. 2 Story Game doesnt tell or represant good story 3Graphics Actually game's graphics not bad but its rival games graphics are way more appealing

[@taym510Oak]

They’re fun games to me at least for a few months at the time ex series wasn’t nothing compared to the main sf games but the ex games wasn’t that bad they were different let’s just say capcom was experimenting at the time 🤷🏿‍♂️😂

[@TanookiMike]

That's not how you pronounce "Ryu"

[@jamespasquini-aquaro4600]

Sounds a bit generic but maybe they should've called it Street Fighter 3D... i had no idea what this was when I was young, and assumed it was just another Street Fighter. Hell my first introduction to Street Fighter was a cheap bootleg of Alpha 3, hoping it would be like my beloved Tekken. Obviously being bootleg it had no back of box or manual so I just found it confusing with Alpha 3 being as complex as it was. Glad I had alpha 3 over this obviously but to someone born in 94 the titles of Street Fighter games were hella confusing, and it took me a long time to become a fan

[@mercster]

Complain about Street Fighter EX controls?!? Come on, these guys must be MK players lmao SF EX had the most easier commands to execute ever in the series, we could do some crazy combos that we couldn't do in any other SF games, even in the MVC series. Zangief always had the most difficult commands in the SF games but in EX series it was so easy that anyone could do it, plus it had that ↓→↓→ + kick move, the best super move Zangief ever had.
