Introduction
Developed by ARIKA and released in 1996, Street Fighter EX is a "3D" fighting game in an alternate SF universe.
Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha, or simply EXA, is a Playstation port of the game with additional characters and modes. EXA is largely overlooked compared to its sequels, but it's an exciting detour from arguably the most iconic era of Capcom Fighters.
Arika's EX Series is lauded for its crazy tech, exciting system, and over a dozen exclusive characters. Thanks to advances in netplay and the beta release of DuckstationGGPO, nearly the entire Arika back catalog is seeing a revival online-- And while the majority of competition will flock to Street Fighter EX2 Plus, EXA still has a lot to offer.
