Ace’s Game HistoryAce is a character who only appeared in Street Fighter EX3 released in the year 2000 for the Playstation 2 by Arika & Capcom. The cooperation of Arika and Capcom ended after SFEX 3 and while Fighting EX Layer was released in 2018, it seems unlikely that Arika will bring back Ace.
Gameplay He has the ability to mimic the moves of other Street Fighter characters, including some of the characters which did not appear in the SFEX series like the Killer Bee Assault from Cammy White or the Healing of Elena from Street Fighter III. He / the player has to solve series of trials in the character edit mode of SFEX3 and can buy those moves as a reward for doing so. This includes a few original moves as well, even some from Fighting Layer and the original Street Fighter EX but the majority of available moves are from other characters in SFEX3.
Background story & Trivia His short back story mentioned that he is a government agent. ordered to find info about a secret weapon developed in an underground base. Its also states that he is the final model (Clone?) of the “Cycloid” series which makes him able to learn the moves of other characters. In his ending, he is asked to “install” newly analyzed data into his body.

Ace from SFEX3 in Game-Art-HQ Art Collaborations

Ace is featured in our ongoing Street Fighter Anniversary Art Tribute and was drawn twice for it back in 2012. There are only very few illustrations made by fans/gamers for this character obviously and Ace was one of the last available characters in the Game Art HQ Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Tribute in 2012, both submissions made for it are showing a lot of dedication, however!

What I think about Ace. the Mimic Character from Street Fighter EX3
Hmmm..there are pretty cool Mimic characters like Mokujin (Tekken Series) who had no own moves but still some sort of personality or other gimmicks through their story or visual designs but when it comes to Ace from Street Fighter EX3 I agree with Frank from Fighter’s Generation who thinks that Ace might have been a thrown-in character for the edit mode of the game. The selectable moves, however, are something really cool since some of them are not from other SFEX characters and can make Ace a really unique character in the game when it comes to the play style at least.
I wonder how fleshed out he would have been in an SFEX4, his visual design would really need an update though.
