Garuda vs Akuma definitely needs to happen

 

[yurinka]

I hate Area. Please forget her.

I want Allen, Doctrine Dark and C.Jack. Maybe Blair, Shanon and Pullum too.

 

[Crankshaft]

Gimme Sharon!

Man I'm shocked that Capcom is OK with this. I think at first glance people would think this is a Street Fighter game. Capcom should publish it as Ex4.

Now time for me to dig out ex2.

Edit: Maybe Capcom should turn this into season pass 3 for sfv

 

[SMK]

I need Blair and Allen back.

 

[Veedot]

Day 1 purchase, Give me Pullum and day -25

 

[nded]

Garuda's slow motion spike boner is hilarious.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Edit: Maybe Capcom should turn this into season pass 3 for sfv

....lol?

 

[klee123]

Hmm, noticed that they actually got new VA's for the characters.

It's easily noticeable with Kairi since it's not the late Kaneto Shiozawa's voice.

 

[Crankshaft]

....lol?

I know crazy talk right? But how many copies is this no name game really going to sell.

 

[Fright Zone]

This looks amazing!

This truly is the second golden age of fighting games.

 

[Turbanator]

I know crazy talk right? But how many copies is this no name game really going to sell.

That's my biggest worry about this project. We're all hype here, but the truth is that if Arika didn't manage to land a deal with Capcom and make this SFEX4, odds are this game won't break half a mil.

It...probably doesn't need to break half a mil at all to break even?

That being said, this thing feels like them flying by the seat of their pants here based on the April Fools' reaction. I'd be surprised if it's 2018

The Japanese official Akira Twitter is less than 2k. I honestly think most people think this is SFEX and not FEL.

 

[DrFunk]

Hearing the remixed music was so good

 

[sixteen-bit]

Hearing the remixed music was so good

I wonder if Hosoe is doing the soundtrack again

 

[sakuori]

music so good

NO AREA PLEASE

God no, she's hands down the worst fighting game character ever made.

I hate Area. Please forget her.

I want Allen, Doctrine Dark and C.Jack. Maybe Blair, Shanon and Pullum too.

You haters. :c


Gib D.Dark and Vulcano Rosso and I'm in Day 1.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

Wonder if they will bring back the create a character mode from EX3 that was fun.

 

[Eternal Flame]

I'm excited this has become a real game that will be released. Now bring back Blair, then Show me Pullum, Doctrine Dark, Cracker Jack, Shadowgiest, and Hayate.

 

[miller.skippins]

"FIREBALL!"

"RISING DRAGON!!"

Allen Snider impending?

 

[manakel]

I will cry real tears if Pullum is in this.

 

[kidnemo]

Nice!

Bring on the crazy tutorial/combo challenge mode please.

 

[onQ123]

interesting that capcom is letting arika do this. EX definately has some really great original characters like doctorine dark and skullomania..

D Dark was my favorite from the EX games I hope he is in this game

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

The audio really brought back SFEX+A memories. That was such a good game.
Skullo looks great. Darrun looks great. Cant wait to see Blair.

 

[IbukiLordSA]

This is such amazing news, I had a smile on my face during that whole trailer the music and Skullomania made my month, just fantastic.

I also hope Kairi has his massive beam super.

 

[miller.skippins]

I know crazy talk right? But how many copies is this no name game really going to sell.

honestly though..i doubt anyone from Arika expect it to sell millions of copy...i think they will be happy if it can hit the arcades and also a ps4 port that do about 2/3 of the SNK titles and they will be happy....

not every game have to do Mortal Kombat/Tekken numbers (even Street Fighter can't do that).

 

[miller.skippins]

This is such amazing news, I had a smile on my face during that whole trailer the music and Skullomania made my month, just fantastic.

I also hope Kairi has his massive beam super.

that took away 90% of his health?

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Told ya this wasn't a joke!

Fuck yeah! Fighting game era is coming back!

 

[ArtHands]

Skullomania
Pullen
Kairi (my favorite character)
Garuda

Yessss

 

[snow in jamaica]

I really hope Ayako Saso, Shinji Hosoe, and the rest are recruited again for new music.

 

[Speedwagon]

This game looks clean as hell. I played a little bit of EX3, so I'm somewhat interested in this

Also needs D.Dark

 

[IbukiLordSA]

that took away 90% of his health?

That's the one although I think it was only like 40% I don't remember it ever being 90% of his health.

 

[Marvel]

This is just amazing.

 

[Piccoro]

I hate Area. Please forget her.

I want Allen, Doctrine Dark and C.Jack. Maybe Blair, Shanon and Pullum too.

I'm hoping that the entire cast of EX1 makes it.

 

[SkylineRKR]

This game has nothing to do with Fighting Layer, it has SF EX characters, SF EX infinite stages, SF font and SF music (which means they do have rights to use SF stuff). But I somewhat hope this will still be Fighting Layer. Though all characters so far are 100% SF EX. And SF is more recognizable. But I'm kinda tired of SF characters.

 

[Fright Zone]

So why has Hokuto's name changed?

That castle background looks SO good.

The models look very similar to SF5, like you could just import them straight in and they wouldn't look out of place 🤔

 

[StayDead]

I've never played EX before, but damn that trailer was cool.

 

[Acquiescence]

I'm still in shock this is happening. It's 2017 and EX characters are making a comeback. It's beautiful.

 

[sixteen-bit]

So why has Hokuto's name changed?

From the SF Wiki:

Hokuto appears as one of the playable characters in Fighting EX Layer, the spiritual sequel to the Street Fighter EX games. Now freed from the Mizugami clan's brainwashing, she goes by her real name Shirase. Her final act as "Hokuto" was to seal off her younger sister Nanase's memories of the Mizugami and their conflict so that she could live as an ordinary girl.

So I guess no Nanase for Fighting EX Layer...

 

[Panajev2001a]

This is really... so so cool !

I don't like what I'm seeing here. Gems/Items? why.jpg

 

[Scotia]

From the SF Wiki:



So I guess no Nanase for Fighting EX Layer...

Yeah, I thought that as well. Shame, but there's other characters I'd prefer anyway.

 

[consoul]

Fighting Layer never got the love it deserved. This should be Fighting Layer EX, if only so it can go by the acronym FLEX.

Bring it back Arika. Bring all the Fighting Layer goodness back. Punching animals included.

 

[Shizuka]

Area next, please.

 

[Kresnik258]

Area next, please.

Shiz you legend <3

 

[Sesha]

Clemens better be playable at some point.

From the SF Wiki:



So I guess no Nanase for Fighting EX Layer...

lol fightan game story

I'm sure she'll be DLC.

 

[specdot]

I still hold to the opinion that the EX+a games have the best soundtracks in all of fighting games. Hearing some of those tracks got me hyped.
Guile's Strange Sunset is better than Guile's SFII theme in my opinion.

 

[Belker]

I remember buying EX when it came out. I think it ran like treacle because we were on 50hz here in the UK.

This brought back memories.

 

[MattXIII]

I hate Area. Please forget her.

I want Allen, Doctrine Dark and C.Jack. Maybe Blair, Shanon and Pullum too.

Pretty such they'll all be in.

Area can just die

 

[Via Purifico]

Can we kill off Area but keep her theme?.

 

[PullumPurna]

I am just so happy that this game is back!! Very, very excited!
And I just need Pullum... I just can't believe she'll make a comeback!
Please bring Sharon, Blair and Area back too, Arika <3
