Street Fighter EX2 Plus is the second entry in Arika's 3D Street Fighter experiment. Expanded roster, original new characters and spectacular Meteor Combo system. 2D gameplay in 3D space more masterful than the first. A solid entry in this experimental Street Fighter branch on PS1.

Street Fighter EX2 Plus (PS1) price, value & rarity
A sequel to Arika's 3D Street Fighter, enriching the roster and the polygonal combat system while keeping the series' briskness. Still fairly widespread in the West, its interest lies in this extension of a singular 3D branch rather than scarcity, the Japanese version being rarer. A piece valued by fans wanting to track the evolution of Capcom versus in 3D.
Better with friends
A sequel to the polygonal fighter, richer in characters and tiered strings that push technical expression even further. The competition blends creativity and precision, building your devastating series at the right moment becoming a true mind game between duelists. Distinctive and deep, it offers lively face-offs and feeds rivalries where everyone tries to push the combo to the limit.
Is Street Fighter EX2 Plus still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 1999 on PS1, Arika's project under Capcom licence extends the Street Fighter EX experience with a widened cast, an Excel Combo system that opens combo strings and an even more detailed Practice mode. The 3D modelling gains finesse and the strike readability stays limpid. The perspective and some hitboxes have aged. Recommended today for Street Fighter EX devotees, for Arika fans curious about the studio's peak on Sony's hardware and for PS1 collectors fond of atypical 3D versus titles that never received broad Western re releases on modern platforms.
