Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha [PS1] - CPU Garuda

This is a play-through using CPU Garuda in the PS1 game Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha. Read on below for more information...

CPU Garuda is a hidden mid-boss in the game. He is an unlockable playable character in this version of it.

===== About CPU Garuda =====
As mentioned earlier, this is the CPU boss version of him, which the player faces as a mid-boss fight in Arcade Mode if certain conditions are met. Here is the information on him:

---- Graphically-wise, there are no differences between him and regular Garuda.

---- He inflicts much higher energy depletion than regular Garuda.

---- The biggest difference between him and regular Garuda is the fact that CPU Garuda has an extra special move, the Teleport Strike (or Maboroshi). This move is very good, and it gives him a massive advantage over regular Garuda.

===== About Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha =====
This is one of the best fighting games on the PS1. Apart from the loading times, this is much better than the arcade versions, mainly because it has stacks more features and modes. As well as PS1-only characters Dhalsim and Sakura, you also get to play as the CPU versions of the bosses as well.

This is a high-effort port, which means the game has tons of features and bonuses not found in the arcade versions. It's all a very well-rounded package. Short FMV/CG videos make up each character's ending when you complete the game.

The only downsides are the fact that the game does not have the arcade SFEXPlus coloured backgrounds (it's the original SFEX ones instead), and it also does not offer an option for the original arcade soundtrack BGMs.
