Street Fighter EX2 Plus (PS1) Playthrough - NintendoComplete
382A playthrough of Capcom's 2000 3D versus-fighting game for the Sony PlayStation, Street Fighter EX2 Plus.
Played through at Sagat at the default difficulty level. I fight the secret last boss (super glowy M. Bison) and get the best ending.
As good as Arika's Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha was, this port of its sequel is an even better game. There are quite a few more characters this time, and the game also introduces a custom combo system in this version (called Excel Combos) that really allow you to lay the smackdown on your opponents. There are also bonus games this time that will, if you are successful, give you advantages in the fights following them.
The graphics are a huge improvement, with way more detail in the models, though it still runs just as smooth as the first game, and the sound design feels a bit more coherent and SF2-eque this time. The controls are also better - not that there was anything wrong with Street Fighter EX Plus α, but these feel a bit more grounded. Characters aren't as floaty and have a better sense of weight, and the attacks feel a bit more like they have an impact. The ending sucks, unfortunately - whereas the first had unique CG movies for each character, in this installment, you get a picture. That's it.
Otherwise, it's Street Fighter, through and through. If you liked EX+A, you'll love this one. If not, this probably isn't different enough to meaningfully change your opinion.
It does, however, lay the groundwork for the final, phenomenal entry in the EX series.
