When initiated, the background will change, and the user will increase in speed tremendously for a short period of time (roughly 5 to 8 seconds). The player will be able to perform multiple moves in rapid succession with no pause between them (that is to say, every move will cancel into any other move, including Super Combos).
In Street Fighter EX2, the player could not cancel a move into the same move in Excel mode, requiring them to do a different move instead. This was changed in Street Fighter EX2 Plus, where any move could be canceled into itself.
Though Excel does not return in Street Fighter EX3, Shin-Bison can combo his attacks in a similar manner.
