It's really great to see these characters come back in a new game, given I always thought the Street Fighter EX characters were some of the coolest in the series.

The art direction is decent, though I do feel a lot of the reimagined character designs feel a bit overdesigned and don't have quite the same charm the originals had. The outfits and designs in the Bengus-illustrated portraits from the original EX games are pretty much the perfect looks for those characters, IMO. It also feels a bit bare-bones in terms of features, but Arika isn't exactly a massive developer and it's clear this was a passion project for them.

Overall, it's fun and I'm glad it exists.
