If we include Rival Schools, then it had the first fighting game custom character in the Street Fighter continuity. It even had some Street Fighter moves you can use.
1:54 Actually, that's Sakura's Nekketsu Hadouken. The difference from Ryu's Shinkuu Hadouken is that Nekketsu Hadouken is one hit and knocks the enemy down in one hit.
All of Ace's non command normals are the same as most of the Arika characters if I'm not mistaken. There weren't any "styles" but the Capcom characters had pretty much all the same normals aside from exceptions like Guile's Sweep or Ryu's jMP
this is actually my biggest takeaway from the video lol. which is interesting b/c I love kimberly and had fun playing her, but I don't care for sf6 that much tbh, respectfully~
I see SF EX3 I click immediately! ARIKA with the stellar ACE theme music as usual. My favorite SF game and wish it would get a re-release on modern consoles. Great vid man
Desk, tus videos siempre me recuerda que Capcom repite la formula y le sirve, jaja un poco de maquillaje por aca una mecanica nueva por alla y voilá un nuevo street fighter. Pero sigue siendo lo mismo, igual mucho de lo que hoy se ve en los SF se lo deben a los viejos y poco valorados SF Ex. Saludos!
People talk a lot about the customization, but can we talk about how, even with more flourish to them, the frames of each attack barely changed over the years? Every essential part and move remains roughly equal in execution, barring some differences like the "floatiness" of air movement in the older game...and what differs is largely fluff and cinematics. That takes dedication!
it's b/c street fighter is... resistant to change, mostly. like, that's its ***thing***, for better or worse lol. the biggest exception probably being the alpha series (and the ex series tbh), which is my favorite, but also the least like "mainline" street fighter games, imo. everyone has their favorite versions of these games though, so it's cool. the only *true* street fighter is what we see in front of our fist~
“Mom, can I make a custom character?” “You don’t need that, there’s already a custom character for you at Grandpa’s house.” The custom character at Grandpa’s house:
Ace has selection of specials and supers the roster doesn't even have, so you can technically make him as a completely original character, roster wise whereas Avatar wins in terms of cosmetic customization and the ability to pick their base normals, not just specials and supers
Avatars are so fun and underrated. Hopefully in the future they go further with the idea. Maybe even at some point having multiple avatar slots to allow for offline avatar battles. I doubt it'll happen in SF6 but maybe the next game, fingers crossed🤞
I remember spending a summer playing the character edit mode. I wanted to unlock all the moves and beat all the challenges. Ace though very obscure had a cool look. And his player 2 color was similar to Batsu and I always playes that color for that reason.
Funniest thing about Ace is how he’s a direct ripoff of a cancelled fighting game character called Haiji (but I believe they had the same character artists)
Are you referring to Daraku Tenshi? That one didn't get cancelled but was released unfinished. Exa Arcadia basically saved and killed the finished release by giving it an arcade exclusive release.
I remember when SFEX3 was a big deal because it was one of the launch titles for PS2. Lots of people bought that game. Thinking that was 24 years ago...wow. Ace's Lv3 The Galaxy had the best damage scaling of any of the meteor combos.
I loved Ace in SFEX3, even if he felt a bit limiting, but having most of those limits remived all these years later feels so damn good. I just hope Capcom gets more creative with Avatars in a big update, perhaps even add some of those mystery moves Ace got from other games (lookin at you "Giga Gladiator")
I do wonder if Ace from EX3 was specifically an inspiration to the dev team. A custom character is def something they could come to independently of that, but the Avatar seems like such a great expansion of the concept (Outside of not having moves from, non SF characters. I really hope they add something like that later down the line)
Also, that Shoryuken he was doing was the perfect input, aka EWGF. It launches them straight up for free juggles. Ace needs a 2nd video to showcase all of his stolen moves from other fighting game characters, namely SNK ones. The Akuma double punch thing is actually a reference to Hehachi's Demon Breath.
yeah ace if you count sfex to be canon(sadly it isn't) has the most powerful dragon punch ever since he can get a TOD from jsut a single uppercut as a just frame DP will launch the opponent continously until the char is dead assuming the player has dem EWGF skills
Man I would like to know why Guy player one can perform combos which can't be possible in player two ? Why guy in playstation 01 , on player 1 , has combos with qcf klink HK ➠ HP works , but I tried in some arcade versions then don't work ? Do has another version different than psone which this combo works ?
My biggest disappointment with SF6 is I can't play my avatar in just standard arcade mode. Like why? So what if I'm overpowered. Doesn't equal automatic wins ESPECIALLY on the hardest difficulty.
@@capemron6330 LOL God no. Arika's run on SF ain't bad but compared to Dimps and others, they weren't that good. EX1 was alright but kinda clunky, EX2 was better but doesn't hold a candle to SF4 and SF6 and EX3 is kind of a step down overall compared to the quality and presentation of EX2.
@@dnmstarsi SF4-6 are garbage games dude. Look at how fast the communities dried up when the new games release. 4 died the second 5 came out cause it was crap(SRK FADC and invincible backdashes are goofy) 5 died the second 6 came out, and when 7 comes out 6 will die a quick death. The games are so bad, the communities literally can't wait to move onto the next thing. 5 and 6 aren't even designed to be fun, they're designed to be competitive fighters and they suffer as games for it. FEXL is better than 4-6 too.
@@capemron6330 Sounds like your opinion is garbage especially when you think EX has a bigger community than SF4. You do know that SF4 is still pretty solid to this day while EX is at the best the middle child. 5 is another story but 6? That game is going strong compared to EX which never really had a community as big as SF4. I like EX but you're kinda nuts if you actually think these games were better than 4. Opinions are one thing, facts are another which is what I'm seeing from your opinion.
@@dnmstarsi 4 is an awful game. Nothing wrong with different opinions. FADC SRK and invincible backdashes made them game goofy. EX3 came out over 20 years ago, over 25 years ago for the PS1 games and they have better gameplay and more charm than SF4-6. Gaming in general was much smaller back then. Ofc they don't have the same sized communities or even had a chance to develop huge ones. The games are older than you. Back then we didn't get 1 SF every 8 years, EX series competed with Alpha and SF3 which is hilarious. They all released around the same time, all the Mahvel games too. If you want to put into perspective how little people care for and like SF4 and 5, Tekken 7 right now has more people playing it than SF4 and 5 combined on Steamcharts. Why? Because once there's no money involved no one cared anymore. It'll be the same when 7 comes out, 6 will die a quick death. People don't actually like the games, they like the tourney money. Go watch some SF6 content creators, 1/2 of them are absolutely miserable and angry playing the game. Go watch idom, DeadAce, SonicSol and many others and tell me they're having a good time. They aren't.
Oh yeah, Turd Strike has 800+ people playing it any given time on Fightcade. While I'm not a fan of it personally(parries lol) people genuinely like the game, which is why it's at Evo this year. USFIV and SFV have 200 people playing at any given time, that's it. 6 will be the same, I'd bet money on it. Remember this post when 7 comes out and check on Steamcharts for SF6 like a month after 7's out, it will have SFV and USFIV numbers cause again - it's a crap game and people will be eager to jump ship to SF7/Alpha 4/whatever.
To be fair, all videos in the RU-vid space are pointless, but nothing needs a point to be here, it's like the video version of "nobody asked for your opinion"
I suppose you could class the cyborg from the SF2 Anime game as a proto custom fighter aswell. I remember you would acquire moves from who you defeated.
