Street Fighter EX 2 Plus FAQ
For EXPERT MODE
By MeLAncHOly
< [email protected] >

==Revision History==

v0.1 – initial release



==Introduction==

Capcom ( www.capcom.co.jp) and Arika (www.arika.co.jp) has
created another great port to the playstation console from the
arcades.  Street Fighter EX2 Plus has the casual play modes found
in EX plus alpha.  There is the training mode, where you can also
play the expert mode to unlock the secrets ( just like to
original), the expert mode will be discussed thoroughly so you
could easily get those tough to get secrets.  There is also the
bonus game mode and the director mode.  The director mode allows
you to direct a fight.  You pick two characters and control one
and fight the other, the reply will be stored and you could edit
the camera angles to get the desired effect.  Then you could save
it to your discretion.



== EXPERT MODE GUIDE ==

       As the title suggest, this part of the game is not for beginners
(like me), I'm telling you, reader, now that this would be one of the
most excruciating parts of the game.  I think even the experts would
find it hard to complete this mode.

There are 5 ranks of the expert mode:

[ E ] – basic moves, these are very easy to do, all you need to do is
to pause the game, select command list, and match the characters
printed on the screen to any move there.  Don't worry I'll be including
the commands in this faq.

[ D ] – super, meteo, and hard to do moves.  This rank still lies on
the easy part, you can easily breeze through here and finish all of
this in a short time.

[ C ] – basic combos. Some basic combos, will only require you a couple
of moves to link, not too hard but some can take a while to beat.

[ B ] – super combos, will take a lot of practice and patience.  This
will require a lot of move change and some very unruly tasks.

[ A ] – expert combos, link 5+ moves or perform a very thumb-numbing
task.  Will need a little mastery of the moves.  Mastery of the
character will help A LOT !!! not that much, but a lot!!!

RATING:

I will try to rate the tasks, just for fun! And I think that the
ratings will also help you.

*- a very simple move, for its ranking at least!
**- a little effort given
***- thumbs start to feel funny, but not that much, still managable.
****- you'll start to loose your patience but with a few tries…
*****- you won't realize your thumb after all the skin that peeled off
it!  This is almost impossible!

UNLOCK:
Unlock these secrets after completing all AVAILABLE ranks:
[E]- unlock Garuda
[D]- unlock 2 bonus games
[C]- unlock Shadow Geist
[B]-?
[A]-?

TIPS:

Before I start with the specs, here are some tips to make it a little (
just a little) easier!
1-      you don't need to follow the sequence specified, remember, your
objective in this play mode is to perform the combo, as long as the
moves are done in that sequence and in combo, you can be successful.
For example, you need to link a crouching medium kick -? crouching
medium punch, you can do it like crouching mk -> crouching sp ->
crouching mp. As long as it is in combo.
2-      You can't do regular moves in excel unless specified.  I tried it
and I'm telling you now it won't work, you must do the moves at
regular form.
3-      When the opponent is jumping, and you are asked to do a guard crush,
you can do the guard crush on the ground, hit Ken in the air, when
he lands walk a bit, then hit him with guard crush.  This will be
helpful!
4-      You have a limited super gauge unless specified.  You can't just do
infinite super moves, so when you are asked to do three s moves,
don't try to link other moves with super moves.
5-      When doing a combo in excel and asked to reach a certain amount of
damage, you can continue the combo outside excel, as long as it is a
combo.  For example, Ryu's last mission is to perform an excel combo
that does 80 damage, it is impossible to do 80 in excel, so what you
do is to continue the combo after excel end, hit him with a s move
and the mission can still be completed.
6-      When asked to counter Ken, you can't link moves, you can only hit
Ken with the specified move.  And, you must hit him as or after he
throws the fireball, not before!!!
7-      Feel free to change the key configurations.  It is easier for you to
just change the controls, especially when you are required to do an
excel or a guard break fast.  One button is all you need to execute
the said moves, and believe me, they are a lot of help!
8-      When asked to hit a combo in excel, stand close so you won't waste
time moving close to Ken.


*NOW FOR THE INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER MISSION AND TIPS TO COMPLETE THEM*

** I will also rate each character on how hard it is to complete his
mission, and take note, I haven't finished them all yet!!!

RYU (***)

1 (E): D, DF, F + P (*)
2 (E): D, DB, B + K ( then B + K 3 more times)(*)
3 (E): F, D, DF + P (*)
4 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P(*)
5 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + KKK (*)
6 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
7 (D): Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F + P (*)
8 (D): Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching Medium Kick (**)
       = throughout the whole expert mode, you will encounter a lot of
similar missions, try to master this combo!!!
9 (C): D, DF, F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
10 (C): D, DB, B + K(follow up with 2 more B+K) -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B
+ K ( on the ground !)(***)
       =what makes this mission a bit tricky is the last condition, you
must land after the senpu kyaku before you perform the super move!
Timing is the secret here, and in my experience, sheer luck!
11 (C): perform 6 hadoukens(D, DF, F + P) in excel (***)
       = tip: stand real close so you can perform the move real fast!
Also use the strong punch, I think it is much faster!
12 (B): F, D, DF + P -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (**)
13 (B): Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DB, B + K (follow w/ 2 more) -> D,
DF, F, D, DF, F + KKK (*****)
       = the difficult part is not to overdo the senpu kyaku, or else
you'll float to high to connect the next move.  What you can do is to
do 2 kicks and let Ryu fall a little, then do the third kick.
14 (B): F + strong punch -> Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F + P ->
D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*****)
15 (A): Guard Break -> Jumping Strong Kick -> Standing Weak Punch ->
F, D, DF + P (*)
        = this is very easy for an A rank, first attack Ken with a jump
attack, when he lands, push him a bit and do the guard break, then
follow the next move till you get it all.
16 (A): In Excel, combo for over 80 damage (***)
        = although seemingly easy, it is hard to rack up 80 damage!  And
note that your super gauge is NOT infinite!! You are limited to
performing 2 super moves after excel.  Best you can do is to hit Ken as
fast as you can with Strong Shoryuukens and prevent the shoryuuken to
finish, or else Ken will fly away and you can't continue the combo,
after excel, hit with Shinkuu Hadouken, then Shin Senpuu Kyaku.

Ken (**)
= Ken is a little easier than Ryu, the only thing that makes his
missions difficult is the last one.  Read on to find out why!

1 (E): D, DF, F + P (*)
2 (E): D, DB, B + K (*)
3 (E): F, D, DF + P (*)
4 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
5 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
6 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (*)
7 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + KKK (*)
8 (D): Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DB, B + K (*)
9 (D): Jumping Strong Kick -> Standing Strong Kick (*)
       = just like the two crouch attacks, this format of combo will
appear a lot, what you need to do is to attack late while falling after
the jump, also press down while falling to assure you will end up in a
crouch position.
10 (C): Jumping Strong Punch -> Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching
Medium Kick  (**)
11 (C): Do 36+ damage in excel (*)
       = 36? Pfffff… now that is a very easy task!
12 (B): Standing Strong Kick -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
13 (B): D, DF, F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F +K
(*)   = this is easier than you think!
14 (B): Guard Break -> Guard Break -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (*)
       = your opponent is unconscious after guard break! Duh!!
15 (A): Jumping Strong Kick -> Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DB, B + K ->
       D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K -> D, DB, B + K (before the s move
finishes, do motion as move starts) -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P -> D, DF,
F ,D ,DF, F + K (*)
       = don't let the length intimidate you, the whole combo is filled
with cancels, and cancels make things really easy!
16 (A): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K -> D, DB, B + K(before s move finishes)
-> Crouching Medium Punch -> Jumping strong Punch -> D, DB, B + K
(*****)
       = Ken was almost a shoo-in, until this one, the difficult part of
this is you can't perform the senpu kyaku in the air because of the
jumping strong punch.  You can hit the jumping punch by attacking while
you rise, and at the split second the frame changes to standing
position try to do the senpu kyaku ( I haven't finish this one just
yet!)

CHUN-LI(****)
*Personally, chun-li's missions are hard, especially her air juggles!

1 (E): K repeatedly and rapidly (*)
2 (E): D, DB, B + K (*)
3 (E): D, DF, F + K (*)
4 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
5 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
6 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
7 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + PPP (*)
8 (E): Weak Punch (2x),Weak Kick, Forward, Strong Punch (ala demon
rage) (***)
       = distance counts when doing this one!!! Remember this is one
move, not a series of attacks!
9 (D): Crouching Medium Kick -> Crouching Medium Kick (**)
10 (D): Standing Hard Punch -> Crouching Medium Kick (**)
11 (C): hit 14 times with "hundred kick" ( K repeatedly ) move.
       = what you want to do here is to press Weak Kick as fast as you
can!
12 (C): D, DB, B + K -> Crouching Hard Kick (counter the fireball!)(**)
       = adjust the distance by using different kick buttons.
13 (B): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P -> D, DB, B,
D, DB, B + K (*)
14 (B): Guard Break -> (while in the air) Down + Medium Kick (*****)
       = the hard part is chun-li bounces back after the first hit with
the kick!  So the secret ( I think) is to hit late and fast!
15 (A): D, DB, B + K -> Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K
-> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (**)
       = man! This is easier than the one before this!  Remember to
juggle!
16 (A): D, DF, F + K -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K -> Crouching Medium
Punch -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (***)
       = hard part: to juggle opponent with punch…

GUILE (****)
*I just hate characters whose moves are all B, F, it is hard to connect
it.

1 (E): charge Back, Forward + P (*)
2 (E): charge Down, Up + K (*)
3 (E): in the air D + MP or SP (throw) (*)
4 (E): charge B, F, B, F + P (**)
       = I don't know if I'm the only one, but I find it really
difficult to do these kinds of s moves.  They are the best sources for
blisters.
5 (E): charge DB, DF, DB, UF + K (***)
6 (E): charge B, F, B, F + PPP (**)
7 (D): Jumping Hard Punch -> Crouching Hard Kick (*)
8 (D): Crouching Weak Punch -> charge B, F + P (**)
       = the trick here is: hold and charge B while pressing D, after
the punch press forward then punch
9 (C): Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching Weak Kick -> charge B, F +
P (***)
10 (C): do 7 Sonic Booms ( charge B, F + P) in excel (***)
       = this is easier than doing 6 hadoukens.  Just jiggle the
controller back forward and keep punching, anyway you can't perform s
moves in excel.
11 (C): Jumping Strong Punch -> Crouching Medium Punch -> charge D, U +
K (**)
       = I'm actually lying, I found this one hard but others might find
this easy.
12 (B): Jumping Strong Punch -> Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching
Weak Kick -> charge D, U + K (***)
13 (B): charge B, F + P -> charge B, F, B, F + P (****)
       = blister city!!
14 (B): charge B, F + P -> charge DB, DF, DB, UF + K (****)
       = I just hate these moves
15 (B): charge D, U + K -> charge DB, DF, DB, UF + K (*****)
16 (A): Jumping Strong Punch -> Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching
Weak Kick -> charge B, F + P -> charge B, F, B, F + P -> charge DB, DF,
DB, UF + K (*****)

ZANGIEF (*)
*His is the first one I finished!

1 (E): PPP (*)
2 (E): F, DF, F, DB, B, UB, U, UF + K (from a distance) (*)
       =from now on, I'll just label the d-pad motion as 360.
3 (E): 360 + P (*)
4 (E): 360 + K (throwing distance, close) (*)
5 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (*)
6 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
7 (D): 720 ( twice 360 ) + P (**)
8 (D): 720 + PPP (**)
9 (D): when the opponent is facing away from you, throw with K (*)
       = guard break your opponent then quickly jump to his back.
10 (D): 360 + K (far) then press P to grab Ken (*)
11 (D): Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching Medium Kick
12 (C): Guard Break -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
13 (C): jump, then D + SP -> Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F, D, DF,
F + K (*)
14 (B): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K -> 720 + P (*)
       = while zangief is doing the kicks, quickly do the 360 motion
over and over while tapping on P, he can't cancel with any move except
F. A. B. , so when done right, you complete the mission.
15 (B): 360 + K (far) then P to grab -> 5- hit excel combo (**)
     = the only hard part of this is to continue the combo after the
bear hug, but still, a 5 hit excel combo is very easy to do, once you
hit your opponent.
16 (A): Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F, D,
DF, F + K -> while doing the s move press ( D, DB, B + K) to cancel ->
Standing Medium Kick -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (**)
       = the only hard thing about this is, connecting the first 2
moves, then connecting the standing K after you cancel.  But still, you
can do this in a few tries.

DHALSIM(**)
*this stretchy guy has some seemingly impossible missions…

1 (E): D, DF, F + P (*)
2 (E): D, DB, B + P (*)
3 (E): D, DB, B + K (*)
       = for now your opponent jumps, but later…
4 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
5 (E): while in air, D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
6 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + PPP (*)
7 (D): F, D, DF + K -> K after first hit
8 (D): Crouching Medium Kick(stationary) -> D, DF, F + P (*)
       = to stay stationary, hold back as you crouch, sliding won't
complete the mission.
9 (C): Jumping Medium Kick -> while in air, D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K
(**)
10 (C): D, DF, F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + PPP (**)
11 (B): D, DB, B + P-> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (**)
12 (B): Jumping Strong Punch -> while in air, D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K ->
D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (**)
13 (B): while in air, D + K -> Crouching Medium Kick (Sliding) -> D,
DB, B, D, DB, B + K (***)
       = TIP: use D + SK for the drill, it must be performed at a right
distance so you will make contact to the leg part of Ken, this will
make it easier to make the transition from this move to the slide.
14 (B): D, DB, B + K -> Standing Strong Punch(stationary) -> D, DB, B,
D, DB, B + K (****)
       =the first complication comes on the first move, your opponent is
not jumping so the move must be performed at an extremely close
distance, then when it connects, the second complication comes, the
head butt.  The head butt is hard to connect, but if it does, you're
done.
15 (A): Crouching Medium Kick (stationary) -> D, DF, F + P-> D, DB, B,
D, DB, B + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (in air) (***)
       = just like the other mission, press back as you crouch so
dhalsim would not slide,  and while he is doing a flurry of attacks in
the air, that is the time when you need to do the other attack.  Take
note that the motion will depend on where he is facing.
16 (A): D, DB, B + K -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F +
K (in air) -> Standing Strong Punch(stretch) (*****)
       = the first three moves are easy, the last is hard.  The juggle
is simply difficult since it is hard to predict where and when the
opponent will be in the right place.  What you need to do is do the s
drill kick move right before the first s move ends ( I haven't finished
this one yet)

Blanka (***)
*although his moves are similar to Guile's, his missions are a lot
flexible!

1 (E): press P rapidly (**)
       = don't just come close and try to do the move, because before he
will do the move he will still punch once and that will send the
opponent flying, so what you do is trip the opponent (D + SK) and
before he stands up rapidly press punch so he'll fall in your trap.
2 (E): charge B, F + P (*)
3 (E): charge D, U + K (*)
4 (E): charge B, F + K (*)
5 (E): charge B, F, B, F + P (*)
6 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (while in air) (*)
7 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + KKK (*)
8 (D): Dodge Hadoken with (charge B, F, B, F + K) (***)
9 (D): Crouching Weak Kick X 3 (*)
10 (C): charge B, F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (while in air)(*)
       = blanka will always end up rolling backwards after the move,
that is the time to perform the s move.
11 (C): charge B, F, B, F + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (air) (*)
12 (B): Jumping Medium Kick -> Crouching Weak Kick X 3 -> Rolling
Attack (**)
13 (B): Jumping Medium Kick -> Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F, D,
DF, F + KKK (*)
14 (B): charge D, U + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
15 (A): charge B, F, B, F + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (air) -> charge
B, F, B, F + P (**)
       = what I do here is, while blanka is doing the second s move,
charge back, when he hits on ground, quickly do the third.
16 (A): Jumping Medium Kick -> Crouching Weak Kick X 2 -> charge B, F +
P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P -> charge B, F, B, F + P -> D, DF, F, D,
DF, F + P (**)
       = easier than you think!

HOKUTO (****)
*as of now, the last three missions are the ones I haven't finished yet

1 (E): D, DF, F + P ( follow immediately with B + P )(*)
       = ,or D, DB, B + P
2 (E): D, DF, F + P (follow immediately with B + K ) (*)
       =,or D, DB, B + K
3 (E): B, D, DB + P (**)
4 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
5 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + P (*)
6 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
7 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + KKK (*)
8 (E): Weak Punch x 2, Weak Kick, F, Strong Punch (*)
9 (D): D, DF, F + P -> follow immediately with F + P (*)
       = use Weak Punch, I find it much faster to link
10 (D): Jumping Medium Kick -> Crouching Medium Punch (*)
11 (D): Counter Hadouken with Shinkyakukou (D, DB, B + K )(**)
12 (C): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P -> Jumping Strong Kick (*)
13 (C): Jumping Strong Kick -> a 10 hit excel combo (***)
     = 10 hits in excel will not be a problem, it is linking the
strong kick with the excel combo that is the hard part.
14 (B): Crouching Medium Punch -> D, DF, F + P -> follow immediately
with F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (****)
       = when you think this is easy, think again! It is harder to link
the crouching punch with the next move, split second command change is
needed here.
15 (A): Jumping Hard Punch -> Crouching Medium Punch -> D, DF, F + P ->
       D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + P -> D, DF, F,
D, DF, F + P (***)
       = the hard part is linking the third move with the next move
16 (A): D, DF, F + P -> follow immediately with F + P -> D, DF, F, D,
DF, F + P -> Jumping Strong Kick -> Excel Combo (do a total of 60+
damage) (***)
       = HARD PART: linking jump kick with excel, you can't immediately
do excel.  Try doing excel the same time as kick, or attack early so
Ken will bounce higher in the air, then jump again and do the excel
combo, link 4-5 jumping SK will do enough.

DOCTRINE DARK (***)
*at first, his missions are easy, but it turns out in the end to be…

1 (E): D, DF, F + K (*)
2 (E): D, DF, F + P (*)
3 (E): D, DF, F + P -> follow with B + P (*)
4 (E): F, DF, F + P (*)
5 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (*)
6 (E): D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (*)
7 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + K (*)
8 (E): D, DB, B, D, DB, B + PPP (*)
9 (D): Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F + P (*)
10 (D): D, DF, F + P (wait for spark) -> Standing Strong Kick (**)
       = obviously, you must do this close
11 (C): F, D, DF + P -> D, DF, F + K -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P (**)
12 (C): Jumping Strong Kick -> Crouching Medium Kick -> D, DF, F + P
(follow up with B + P) -> Standing Strong Kick (**)
13 (B): Jumping Strong Kick -> Standing Strong Kick -> D, DF, F, D, DF,
F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (**)
14 (A): F, D, DF + P -> Jumping Strong Kick -> Standing Strong Kick ->
D, DF, F, D, DF, F + K (****)
       = hard is when you juggle opponent with jump then stand SK
15 (A): D, DF, F + P follow immediately with B + P-> D, DB, B, D, DB, B
+ K -> excel combo ( must do over 70 damage)
       = hard is to combo ex-prominence then combo with excel, so what
you can do is, do ex-prominence while d dark pulls the wire, then
continue with the excel combo ( just juggle as much as you can with SK)
16 (A): Crouching Strong Kick -> D, DF, F + P (follow up with B + P) ->
Jumping Strong Kick (combo must have 60+ damage)
       = DO NOT FOLLOW THIS SEQUENCE! After d dark pulls the wire, combo
first before trying to kick!  It is hard to connect jumping kick after
wire pull, so beat Ken up first then finish combo with jump SK.  Or if
you wish, do the sequence then extend with s move.

SKULLOMANIA (****)

1 (E): D, DF, F + P (*)

combo (***)
16 (A): Jumping Strong Kick -> Crouching Medium Punch -> Crouching

CRACKER JACK (****)

1 (E): charge B, F + P (*)
2 (E): charge B, F + K (*)

11 (B): Jumping Strong Punch -> D, DF, F + P -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P

with your opponent.

(2x) -> D, DF, F, D, DF, F + P -> D, DB, B, D, DB, B + P, follow up
with KKK, then D, DB, B + P (*****)
       = what you can do is to do the D, DB, B, D, DB, B + P s move
before starting, and pressing KKK when the stick is near the front of
the opponent.  Then you must do the combo really fast before the stick
in the ground disappears.  When it comes to the time that you must
perform the said s move, don't.  just do D, DB, B + P at the right time
and the stick should rise and spin.(this IS the required move, not the
stick throw s move itself!)
