Street Fighter EX2 [Arcade] - play as Shadow Geist
This is a playthrough using Shadow Geist in the Arcade game Street Fighter EX2. Read on below for more information...
Shadow Geist is a hidden character in the game, and this version of him is an unlockable playable character.
===== HOW TO UNLOCK SHADOW =====
There are two ways to do this, as follows:
----- 1ST METHOD -----
Ensure that all the characters on the Score Ranking table have at least 500,000 points each.
----- 2ND METHOD -----
You can use an input command to unlock Shadow Geist immediately. Here's how:
1) Go into the game's Test Menu screen, and go into the Color option (option 4).
2) Now using the Player 1 side, input the following:
HP, LP, LK, HK, MP, LP, LK, MK, LK, MK, MP, LP, HK, MK, MP, HP
If you're done it correctly, the message "Here Comes A New Challenger" will appear at the bottom. Shadow Geist and Kairi will now be available on the character select screen.
===== ABOUT SFEX2 SHADOW =====
This is the player version of him, specially designed to be controlled by a human player. In the game's data, he is a completely different and separate character to CPU Shadow, who instead is used as the hidden opponent in single-player mode.
There are some differences between him and CPU Shadow, as follows:
1) Player Shadow does not have the pre-fight intro (usually seen when you get to fight him in single-player mode).
2) Player Shadow's Air Diving Kick special move comes out slightly slower, travels slower, and he recovers slightly slower when he lands from it.
There are possibly other differences such as his damage infliction values, but I cannot confirm this because I haven't checked.
===== SHADOW GEIST'S STORY =====
He was once a normal man living under a harsh dictatorship. His wife was taken away by the government and his daughter subsequently went missing. Fueled by anger as a result, he enhanced his body with cybernetic parts and became a violent vigilante. He fights against the dictatorship of his country in order to protect the people and prevent them from suffering the same fate as his family did.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
---- Despite being a separate character in the game's data, he is programmed in a way where if Player Shadow is already selected by a player, and his opponent is CPU Shadow, it will register CPU Shadow with the alternative colour palette. This is required because a human player can choose Player Shadow and possibly meet CPU Shadow in single-player mode.
---- As CPU Shadow is always used as the end boss, it means that Player Shadow never appears as a CPU opponent.
---- The only instances where a CPU-controlled Player Shadow appears is in the game's intro and in the demo fights.
===== ABOUT SFEX2 =====
The game improves on it's prequel (SFEX+) by offering much better visuals and aesthetics, as well as introducing two new gameplay features in the form of the Excel Combo and Cancel Break. The Excel Combo works similarly to SFA3's V-ISM custom combos, and is the primary new feature of the game.
