Street Fighter EX3 (ストリートファイターEX3?) is a 2D head-to-head fighting game with 3D graphics, developed by Arika and published by Capcom. It is the third and last console installment in the Street Fighter EX series. The game was released in 2000 for the PlayStation 2 as a launch title in Japan and North America, and subsequently released in Europe in 2001.
Street Fighter EX3 features a similar gameplay system to its predecessor Street Fighter EX2 Plus with characters being able to pull off similar moves like Super Combos and Meteor Combos. However, a difference here is that the "Guard Break" system from the previous installments has been removed and replaced with a similar system called the "Surprise Blow" ("Hard Attack" in Japan), which does not use up energy stored in "super bars," although the attack can be blocked (only when standing).
Other additions are the "Critical Parade" (calling out a tag-partner to simultaneously battle your opponent for a limited time) and "Momentary Combo" (following a special attack with another). Some characters received new moves, such as Skullomania having a vertical projectile.
The core gameplay is essentially the same as previous installments, however EX3 features tag battles, similar to Tekken Tag Tournament, allowing players to switch between characters and offering greater combination possibilities.
In the single-player mode, the player can assemble a team of up to four characters, and can choose the next opponent, as is possible in Street Fighter III. The bonus stage is a simplified version of the beat 'em up genre. In this mode, there are also missions, which the player can complete in order to gain platinum, gold, silver, and bronze trophies, which in turn unlock various features.
