is this counterhit? HP>HP chop doesn’t work normally right?
If you’re close you could use F-Hp for a slightly weaker Crush Counter. Its 10 frames just like st.hp.
I feel like St.HK is only fast enough to catch light DPs if you react to them immediately.
This sounds like a fair balance for alex tbh :^)
This ^^
Hk being so slow makes it hard to catch the lp ones, and yiu font want to miss that big damage.
Would alex players be interested in purchasing something like this
okay I’ll start trying to punish w/ fHP, but what about Cammy, she moves pretty far away w/ her srk. Does it work on her too?
This sounds like a fair balance for alex tbh :^)
Don’t solely punish with f-Hp, its only for Dps with quicker recoveries and ones that crouch on landing.
For someone like Cammy a timed st.hk on her landing will work just fine, assuming she used heavy dp. But if you feel that you do not have the time, use F-hp to CC
If you can’t reach them while they’re descending ou should walk closer to them…assuming you aren’t ofc.
Okay thanks…just trying to start heavily punishing moves and mp doesn’t always reach. Coming from Mika and wasn’t sure what I should go with…
Every time I see the premium costume I’m kicking myself for not pre-ordering this game. Story mode PJ’s just doesn’t cut it for me
Alex’s premium costume comes from the Season Pass, not from pre-ordering.
You should still be able to get it…plus all the other DLC character’s premium costumes.
thought it was pre-order. guess i know what im getting on payday
Found something interesting…sweep max ranged block vs Alex on certain characters is completely safe (nash). He cannot counter sweep/st.hp or whatever the hell you might want to do…but st.hk does reach. Interestingly enough, it basically stops them from doing anything but block. They want to jump/backdash/press a button? Either they get hit or CC. (except supers or dp I assume)
Is this supposed to be his big counter to sweeps? As you know, he can VTC st.hk or VT cancel his st.hk, so it’s probably intentional.
nevermind I saw your FANG post. It’s similar to Mika’s HK b/c it moves her forward, same thing here. At least that’s a scrub’s perspective
I’m finding a ton of different interactions vs max ranged sweep on alex. Did you know you can use st.hp to punish necalli and cammy (!!!) like FANG with st.hp at all ranges on a blocked sweep? meanwhile necalli is safe vs a counter sweep on block.
Can’t you just elbow to punish sweeps
nope, fastest elbow startup is 14f, maybe you can punish dhalsims with elbow?
I’m using cr.mp against blocked sweeps without problems
Can someone lab and see if cr.hp can punish sweep? If the frame data worked it could punish sweeps from max range by moving forward with it.
