List of characters in Street Fighter EX

This is a list of video game characters appearing in the "Street Fighter EX" series.

Introduced in "Street Fighter EX"

Hokuto

nihongo|Hokuto|ほくと|Hokuto employs the legendary Mizugami style of fighting. When Hokuto's brother Kairi develops amnesia and then goes missing, she travels the world to find him and the cause of his memory loss. It is revealed that Kairi has been cursed since birth and was sentenced to be killed by their clan. However, with his memory loss, it is decided that he need not be killed.

Kairi's disappearance leads him to face off against the dark fighter Akuma. Hokuto attempts to free her brother, but fails and ends up being awakened by the Chi no Fūin (Seal of Blood) causing her to become nihongo|Bloody Hokuto|血の封印を解かれたほくと|Chi no Fūin o Tokareta Hokuto|"Hokuto unleashed with the Seal of Blood". This alternate version of Hokuto first appears as a hidden character in "EX Plus Alpha" (the PlayStation version of the original "EX").

C. Jack

nihongo|Cracker Jack|クラッカー・ジャック|Kurakkā Jakku is a low-level Shadaloo enforcer of seemingly spanish origin, who also acts as a drill sergeant to cadets. He is sent out by M. Bison on R&R leave, and he decides to have some fun and look for fights. One of the few characters to make use of a weapon, Cracker Jack occasionally pulls out a baseball bat to use against opponents, either to strike them directly, or to reflect projectiles by batting them away. Cracker Jack's fighting style is extremely similar to that of Balrog. C.Jack underwent a costume change from EX to EX 2 and dressed in a more stylish white outfit in the later games.

D. Dark

Born in Germany, nihongo|Doctrine Dark|ドクトリン・ダーク|Dokutorin Dāku, whose real name is Holger, as he was known at the time, once served under the orders of Guile with his own special tactical reconnaissance unit. During his tour of duty, his own unit got into a bit of a scuffle with another rival unit, lead by Rolento. The minor scuffle escalated into a full-on battle, with both sides receiving heavy casualties. Holger was the only member of his unit to escape. However, Holger was severely injured emotionally and physically. Outfitted with a portable breathing apparatus, Holger eventually escaped from the hospital and went into hiding, only to re-emerge as the deranged psychotic killer Doctrine Dark. Dark holds Guile responsible for the massacre of his unit, and seeks to kill Guile as a result.

D.Dark's fighting style involves the use of several weapons, one of which is a wire that shoots from his wrist to grab an opponent, this move has drawn him comparisons to Scorpion of the Mortal Kombat series.

kullomania

nihongo|Skullomania|スカロマニア|Sukaromania was once an average salesman called Saburo Nishikoyama. His superiors were not pleased with his results as a salesman. Down on his luck and constantly under pressure for results, he volunteered to dress up and perform like a superhero at a carnival thrown for a top customer in their department store. He had hoped it would be chance to prove his value as a salesman. When he grabbed the attention of all in attendance, something clicked in him. Tired of his job, Skullomania decided to become a vigilante crime-fighter. Not much else is known of his past. Skullomania closely resembles a Japanese superhero called Kamen Rider, which was based on another character from the same creator called Skull Man.

Skullomania was used in the Arika game "Technictix", released in Japan only.Skullomania also made an appearance in the PlayStation game, Fighter Maker, even with some of his special moves intact. His signature move is the Skullo Dream, an unblockable combo attack which is increasingly comedic in execution as the series progresses.

His costume was based on Kinkotsuman, a kaiju from the anime series Kinnikuman.

Pullum

nihongo|Pullum Purna|プルム・プルナ|Purumu Puruna is the daughter of a wealthy Arabian man. She seeks revenge for her grandfather against Shadaloo after he was found in hypnotic state after reading a book with the word Shadaloo on the cover. She vows revenge, and hires Darun Mister as a bodyguard, teaming with her friend Blair Dame and going travelling. She seems to resemble Rouge from Power Stone. She's a pretty fierce dancer by trade... and she forces her opponent to dance along with her for her strongest super art.

Allen

Long admired as the strongest karate fighter in America, nihongo|Allen Snider|アレン・スナイダー|Aren Sunaidā lost in the first fight of the tournament. The challenger was Ken. After the fight, Ken assured him that he was still a big fish in a little pond - he must battle on. Allen now travels the world with Ken to become even stronger.

Allen fights in a similar manner to other karate characters, such as Ryu and Ken. Where he differs is the incorporation of kickboxing techniques, such as the "Triple Break", and his most powerful move, the "Justice Fist", a punch that can deflect projectiles. Allen differs again in his possession of a command throw, something Ryu and Ken have never used.

Allen Snider, along with Blair Dame, does not appear in any of the "EX" sequels. Instead, they appeared in the Arika-developed "Fighting Layer", which was distributed at the arcades by Namco.

Blair

nihongo|Blair Dame|ブレア・デイム|Burea Deimu grew up in a relatively sheltered European family, Blair enthusiastically chose to travel around the world with a friend, eventually deciding to join the (unnamed) martial arts tournament at the core of "Street Fighter EX". Though her friend felt uneasy with that, Blair convinced her that between a bodyguard (Darun) and Blair's skill in the martial arts, they should be fine. She also joins her friend Pullum who is seeking revenge against Shadaloo for the death of her grandfather.

Like Allen Snider, Blair Dame does not appear in any of the "EX" sequels after "EX Plus Alpha". Instead, she appears in the Arika-developed "Fighting Layer", which was distributed at the arcades by Namco. Her sister Sharon took her place in "EX 2" and "EX 3".

Darun

nihongo|Darun Mister|ダラン・マイスター|Daran Maisutā is a wrestling champion from India. He hears of Zangief's legendary wrestling prowess and, bored with his inferior opponents, seeks out the Russian to prove to himself that he is indeed the world's ultimate fighter. He also acts as a bodyguard for Pullum. His design is based on The Great Gama. Darun's "Indra Bridge" is a rare command throw that launches his foe into the air.

Garuda

nihongo|Garuda|ガルダ|Garuda is a nonhuman entity that is a compilation of all the souls taken by Satsujin no Hado. His age, exact origin, and fighting style are unknown. Like most characters in the EX series, he has no confirmed encounter with any of the other characters. Garuda fights harder against those who utilize Satsui no Hado. Garuda is one of the few characters in EX whose attacks cause the opponent to bleed profusely. This was removed from American ports of the game. In EX 2, Garuda gained a move where he summons green soul flames and launches them at his foe in a spiral pattern.

Kairi

nihongo|Kairi|カイリ|Kairi is a student of the legendary Mizugami style along with his sisters, Hokuto and Nanase, but he is also a user of the style of Muay Thai. He came across a fighter by the name of Akuma and the two had a duel. Kairi was badly scarred, lost his left eye, and was on the verge of death. Akuma was about to finish him off with the "Shun Goku Satsu" until Kairi retaliated with a burst of pure power that was almost impossible for him to control, the positive version of Akuma's "Satsui No Hadou". Since Akuma was still looking for the fighter who could stand against him, he gave an evil smile and said "You will soon be a fighter worthy of a real death match." After the bout, the battle had left Kairi with the loss of more than his eye. His own memory had perished as well. Not knowing of his own newfound power as well as his loss of memory, the only thing he knew of was his ability to fight.

Years after his memory loss, he enters a "Street Fighter" tournament where he reached the finals. He was up against a fighter called Hayate. Kairi was victorious over the warrior, but gained no memory of who he was. Despite this, he and Akuma have their eventual rematch and in the battle, Kairi gives in to Satsui No Hadou and kills Akuma, leading to Garuda's appearance. Kairi thus becomes "Evil Kairi".

In "EX 2", Kairi is turned to the light by the kindness of Nanase's heart. Hokuto, meanwhile, has turned to darkness, so Kairi attempts to return his sister to the light. Although much more stronger, skilled and powerful than Hokuto, Kairi avoids trying to fight her and powers down his last punch which sends both of them back. They were both stated to be alive however by the time "EX 3" emerges.

Kairi's "Shouki Hatsudou" is a massive energy beam attack that is impossible to avoid, however, performing this attack caused Kairi to suffer considerable damage to balance it out. This move, however, cannot KO Kairi in it's execution, but it can bring his lifebar down critically low.

Introduced in "Street Fighter EX Plus"

Cycloid

The Cycloids consist of nihongo|Cycloid-β|サイクロイドβ|Saikuroido Bēta (a.k.a. Cycloid Beta), who is a blue 3D-model of a human male with no facial features, and nihongo|Cycloid-γ|サイクロイドγ|Saikuroido Ganma (a.k.a. Cycloid Gamma), who looks similar to Beta, only Gamma's a wireframe model. Both use attacks borrowed from other characters and don't speak. Their origins are unknown.

Cycloid-β borrows attacks from Kairi, Blair, Skullomania, Pullum, Allen, Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma, D. Dark and Garuda, and its attacks are performed via "rolling" motions (such as QCF+P).

Cycloid-γ borrows attacks from Ken, M. Bison, Pullum, Guile, Darun, Skullomania, Blair, Chun-Li, Cracker Jack, Akuma and Garuda, and its attacks are performed via charging motions.

In "EX 3", the Cycloids become the completed human character Ace who has access to all character moves.

Introduced in "Street Fighter EX 2"

Hayate

nihongo|Hayate|ハヤテ|Hayate is a swordsman who made his first and only arcade appearance in "Street Fighter EX 2". He has moves similar Garuda and is hinted to be a member of the same clan. Otherwise, very little backstory is revealed about him. Hayate was the only character from the original "EX 2" who was not featured in the arcade version of "EX 2 Plus". He was featured in the PlayStation version as a hidden character. Hayate is noted for wielding a sword, and possessing an effective reversal move.

Nanase

nihongo|Nanase|七瀬|Nanase is the younger sister to Hokuto and Kairi. Like her siblings, she is a master of the Mizugami style of fighting. Because Kairi was cursed and possessed dangerous abilities, he was to be killed by their clan. When he loses his memories, the clan decides that exile is enough.

Kairi disappears and falls under the control of Akuma, which leads Hokuto to search for her brother and either save or destroy him. However, when Hokuto succumbs to the Seal of Blood, Nanase is left to find both her missing siblings and either free them or eliminate them.

Nanase, like Hayate, brings a weapon into combat. She has a staff weapon that can be extended through unknown means.

hadowgeist

At one time, the man who is now nihongo|Shadowgeist|シャドウガイスト|Shadougaisuto was a normal man. Living under a harsh dictatorship, he lost both his wife and daughter because of the oppressive government (the details surrounding their murder event are vague). Burning with revenge and contempt, Shadowgeist resolves to find the man responsible.

haron

nihongo|Sharon|シャロン|Sharon is a known assassin hired by an unknown government to assassinate somebody but her target wasn't revealed. According to rumors, her target might be her sister, Blair. She carries a handgun with her but seldom uses it so as to give her opponent a fair fight. She is a practitioner of savate and is one of the fast characters in the EX series. Her signature moves are Hell Fire and Assault Rifle in which she will perform using her pistol and her rifle respectively.

Sharon is the only "Street Fighter" character to not only use a gun (possibly Glock or H&K USP) in gameplay, but to also use an assault rifle M16 A2 as well. However, she requires two levels of super meter every time the player wishes to fire the handgun, as the first time she performs Hellfire simply causes her to load and cock the slide.

Introduced in "Street Fighter EX 2 Plus"

Area

nihongo|Area|エリア|Eria is a clever young woman, who is testing her father’s latest inventions, rocket skates and a giant mechanical arm. She, along with Vulcano Rosso and Sagat made their first "EX" series appearance in "Street Fighter EX2 Plus". Area thinks fighters are robots. Area's strongest super art causes her mechanical arm to break when used, and she will be unable to use any moves associated with it for the remainder of the match (not just for the round).

Vulcano Rosso

A rather mysterious combatant, the flamboyantly dressed nihongo|Vulcano Rosso|ヴルカーノ・ロッソ|Vurukāno Rosso carries a burden of pain. Since his lover was killed, his only thought has been revenge. He has the ability to create violent and dangerous attacks that utilize lava and volcanic eruptions. Rosso also has a multidirectional counter-attack, and a command-dash move that will not hit an opponent, but can pass through them. His name is the Italian translation of "Red Volcano."

Introduced in "Street Fighter EX 3"

Ace

nihongo|Ace|エース|Ēsu is a secret agent of the government and is the final model of the Cycloid series of cyborgs. Therefore he can copy the movements of other fighters during the game. Ace is a fighter who the player can assign moves to by passing tests in the edit mode. Ace only appears in "Street Fighter EX 3", but has access to moves used by every character from the "EX" series.
