[edit] Ace
Ace is a secret agent of the government and can copy the movements of other fighters during the game. Ace is a generic-looking fighter who looks a bit more like a fighter out of the Rival Schools universe than a Street Fighter.
[edit] Allen Snider
Long admired as the strongest karate fighter in America, Allen 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.
Possessing a fireball (Soul Force) and dragon punch (Rising Dragon), Allen fights in a similar manner to other karate characters, such as Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Sean and Dan. Where he differs is the incorporation of kickboxing techniques, such as the Triple Break, and his most powerful move, the Justice Fist, a dashing punch so strong it can deflect projectiles.
Allen Snider, along with Blair Dame, does not appear in any of the EX sequels. Instead, he appeared in the Arika-developed Fighting Layer, which was distributed at the arcades by Namco.
[edit] Area
Area is a clever young woman, who is testing her father’s latest inventions, rocket skates, and a giant mechanical arm. Area believes that fighters are battle robots.
[edit] Blair Dame
Blair Dame is a video game character from the fighting games Street Fighter EX and Fighting Layer. After having grown up in a relatively sheltered British 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 Shadoloo for the death of her grandfather.
Like Allen Snider, Blair Dame does not appear in any of the EX sequels. 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.

Born in Germany, Doctrine Dark 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. Doctrine Dark was the only member of his unit to escape. However, he was severely injured emotionally and physically. Outfitted with a portable breathing apparatus, he eventually escaped from the hospital and went into hiding, only to re-emerge as the deranged psychotic killer Doctrine Dark.
D. Dark holds Guile responsible for the massacre of his unit, and seeks to kill Guile as a result. (The culprit was in fact Rolento.) Only time will tell when he will know the truth.
[edit] Garuda

Garuda is a nonhuman entity that is a compilation of all the souls taken by Satsui 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.
[edit] Hayate
Hayate makes his first and only appearance only in Street Fighter EX 2. There's hinting that he may be a part of the clan Kairi, Hokuto, and Nanase are a part of.
[edit] Hokuto
Hokuto is a character from the Street Fighter EX series of fighting games. She 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 needs not be killed.
Kairi's disappearance leads him to fall under the control of the dark fighter Akuma. Hokuto attempts to free her brother, but fails and ends up falling under Akuma's control as well.
Like Ryu who had Satsui No Hadou, Hokuto also has a dark side called Chi no Fuuin (meaning Seal of Blood). This alternate version of Hokuto is officially known in English as Bloody Hokuto first appeared as a hidden character in EX Plus Alpha (the PS version of the first EX).
[edit] Kairi
Kairi is a character in the Street Fighter EX series of fighting games.
He is a student of the legendary Mizugami style along with his sisters, Hokuto and Nanase, but he is also a user of the legendary style of Muay Thai. However, years ago during his training on top of a mountain, he had took a great fall which resulted in him losing his memory. Ever since then, he doesn't know who he is or who he knows. The only thing he remembers is how to fight.
He spends his time searching for fighters all across the world trying to regain his memory and his knowledge of his origin (which is in Japan). Years after his memory loss, he entered a Street Fighter tournament where he reached the finals. He was up against a fighter called Hayate who was Hokuto's lover at the time. Kairi was victorious over the warrior, but gained no memory of who he was.
Another few years had passed and Akuma began to realize Kairi's power and potentials, so he searched all over for him and fought with him. Kairi was badly scarred and was on the verge of death. Akuma was about to finish him off with the Shun Goku Satsu until Kairi threw out a burst of energy within him, but it had nothing to do with the dark hado. It was actually a pure power that was almost impossible for Kairi to control, the positive version of Akuma's.
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." And so he left Kairi nearly dead, clueless as to how he became so powerful. Kairi no longer cares about regaining his memories of his origins or his family. The only thing he cares about is punishing Akuma for putting the burden of the power on him. For the power is so great that Kairi's body is deteriorating with each second that passes. Only the defeat of Akuma can take the burden off him.
As EX2 surfaced, Kairi killed Akuma, and was deadly powerful, possibly EX's strongest character, as he still searched the earth for any worthy fighters. Akuma was quite possibly, his last: as his sister Hokuto will pack up and begin a search for him. Unfortunately, she will be turned to Kairi's dark ways, and Nanase the weakest of the three, would be the only one left to save her siblings.
(EX3)
Kairi is turned to the light by the kindness of Nanase's heart. Hokuto, now wretched with evil, 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.

[edit] Nanase
Nanase is a character from the Street Fighter EX series of fighting games. 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 falls under Akuma's control as well, Nanase is left to find both her missing siblings and either free them or eliminate them.
