What the fuck, this is a cruel April Fools joke :-(

I'm a huge fan of Street Fighter EX, and would love to see it return in some shape or form.

 

[ScribbleD]

It seems like a lot of effort and, presumably, money went into this considering it is ostensibly a joke. This isn't just a simple web page or a few low quality assets with limited animations. Makes you wonder.

 

[kirblar]

Wait, did they borrow the Tekken 7 engine for this? The camera positioning, centered "winner" text, juggling - it feels real similar and would explain how a side/joke project looks so good.

 

[data]

I honestly don't believe this is genuinely just a joke and nothing will ever come out of it. It looks too polished and a lot of effort went into it obviously.

 

[The Omega Man]

They know what we want, they just won't give it to us.

 

[Lulubop]

Tekken 7 is on Unreal 4....

But yes, this looks like Unreal 4

 

[Raging Spaniard]

That is WAY too much work for a joke. Thats months of work, unless theyre discarded assets from something else.

 

[Plywood]

Echoing sentiments that it should be real, looks fantastic.

 

[joe2187]

Wait...That wasnt Tekken 7 customized characters? this is it's own thing?

 

[kirblar]

Tekken 7 is on Unreal 4....

But yes, this looks like Unreal 4

Yeah, I don't know what the term is for "custom framework you designed for the engine".

 

[Lulubop]

Yeah, I don't know what the term is for "custom framework you designed for the engine".

I get what you mean, yea.

 

[The Bankslammer]

As I understand it, the 3DS fighting game footage was just a demo to show off what they were capable of making on the system, and ended up getting them picked up for working on Tekken 3D Prime.

So this might be a similar sort of thing, I guess.

 

[LukasTaves]

I thought a char for a fighting game cost an outrageous amount of money these days, how they can make them with that quality just for an April fools joke?

 

[RM8]

I'd do anything for this game. This started as a demo on 3DS, it's a shame it didn't go anywhere.

 

[meerak]

Reminded me that Garuda looks cool but has the stupidest animations.

 

[BrunOz]

WHY?

now I want this

 

[L Thammy]

To be honest, I'm more interested in this than Tekken. Not even a fan of Street Fighter EX.

 

[farisr]

I'd do anything for this game. This started as a demo on 3DS, it's a shame it didn't go anywhere.

If this game (with a full roster and the same modes as the PS1 games and what not) ended up being a Switch exclusive, I'd spend $400 (CAD) for that console without a second thought.

 

[Vandole]

I am so sad now...

 

[HardRojo]

Because it looks fun and doesn't take itself too seriously, unlike SFV?

Lol, SFV doesn't take itself seriously at all. There was even a thread a few months back about that exact topic.

 

[mcmmaster]

Oh my Garuda's model looks amazing, hope it doesn't stay as an April fools and they actually run with this.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I'm curious what they used to make this because this looks like this took time and money.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Lol, SFV doesn't take itself seriously at all. There was even a thread a few months back about that exact topic.

SFEX is like the grimdark-lite version of SF Alpha.

 

[Neff]

The April Fools' is that developers can invest this much time and effort into a project and pass it off as a mere April Fools'.

 

[dbztrk]

This is pure evil. The act of Satan!

 

[Tain]

I'm curious what they used to make this because this looks like this took time and money.

I can only assume UE4 and the framework they built on top of it for an unannounced upcoming fighting game lol

 

[MattXIII]

This looks too dam good to simply be a joke.

 

[Wallach]

stay dead

and don't ever play that sad version of garuda's theme again

 

[BitStyle]

Fuck

This looks so damn good. Now I hate that this isn't real

 

[raven777]

God I miss EX

 

[EPaul]

Yo, that looks like so much fun to play

 

[AHappyPanda]

This is not a funny April Fool's Prank

 

[Neff]

I can't stop watching this video >.<

It looks WAY too good and expensive to not be a commercial effort. I'm erecting my team real tent right here.

stay dead

and don't ever play that sad version of garuda's theme again

Arrange Stronger is immeasurably superior but arcade Stronger is still a damn good tune.

 

[farisr]

I really miss super chaining.

 

[sixteen-bit]

This isn't the first time Arika has put fighting game footage out.

I think these are projects they wanted to make, but were unable to sell to any publisher.

Here's a link to the original BTW

[Askherserenity]

This is not funny at all.

:/

 

[Gren]

Ah the old crouch and jump HK animations that were shared by like half the cast. That takes me back.

EX1 Hokuto was the best. Design wasn't particularly original, but her later redesigns made her look even more unremarkable imo.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

it's not fair and this looks better than sfv art wise and visually

 

[BadWolf]

It's not even just the characters but the backgrounds as well, a lot of effort went into this.

 

[ZeoVGM]

What's the music in the trailer from?

 

[Neff]

What's the music in the trailer from?

Original
Arrange

 

[raven777]

What's the music in the trailer from?

It's different version of Garuda's theme

edit: beaten

 

[Rambler]

oh yuck that remix is awful

 

[Tiops]

Square-Enix should do a really great trailer for a Chrono Trigger sequel for april's fool. That would be awesome, wouldn't it? So funny. So, so funny.

 

[sixteen-bit]

it's not fair and this looks better than sfv art wise and visually

probably has a real arcade mode too

 

[RM8]

it's not fair and this looks better than sfv art wise and visually

Honestly yes and I'm a huge SFV fan.

 

[Doctrine Dark]

Please come to fruition.

 

[Nick]

This game looks so damn good. I wish this was real.

 

[D_psipher]

It could have been worse...It could have been Megaman.

 

[Neff]

It could have been worse...It could have been Megaman.

I will greenlight and cancel a hundred Mega Man games for this.
