Alex General Discussion: "At ease, loo-suh!" The Alex SFV Thread

Street Fighter V Alex
601

Not like having arcade mode would bring casuals in anyway.

602

Things have got rough.
I was going to jump on FightCade and get in some “Ooouaah!” since Capcom don’t seem to want to give up the goods.
Realised I don’t have FightCade/games on new PC and 360 is currently packed away.
You’re tearing me apart Capcom.

Seriously though - Not even an announcement of an announcement. :frowning:

603

Im afraid the bumpy launch and following netcode fixes turned the match update into an april update…

it’s the 10th of march already…
is capcom releasing trailer and character at the same time or what’s going on?

604

Playing a grappler takes patience but this is an insult.

605

Going to resort to name calling on twitter soon :frowning:

606

okay, so the blog updates on friday in Japan right? didn’t their last blog update come on a thursday? (time zone differences, we’re still thursday while they hit friday)
we could be getting a moveset preview in just a few hours!

maybe

607

Alex has to start his car up first and drive himself to the character select screen. Capcom hasn’t made the money for SFV to afford him transportation.

Finally!

609

ALEXXXX!

Headbutt grab!?

Boomerang Raid super?!?!

AAAAAAA

610

I never played any of SF3 or it’s incarnations, but damn Alex looks badass. Holy crap, I want to try him out.

611

Okay, so he probably has a non-shitty Mika v skill, his trigger is a guard breaking Hugo clothesline charge? Interesting.
His super is essentially boomerang raid with a new name. hopefully he can hitconfirm into it (including guard break trigger corner setups)

His v-trigger appears to be a focus attack type move.

613

His V-Trigger is either ridiculously strong or weak … for now Im going with strong :smiley:

It’s charge but for the cost of full v-gauge, it probably charges faster than ryus denjin fireball, right?

614

We in there boyz!!! Let’s fucking go!!!

615

Whoever called VSkill animation being his taunt got it. Time to dig througg because I think I called dat shit

616

So V Skill gives him a free CH right? Or am I misreading that? That could be pretty damn powerful in a game with the CC mechanic.

617

V Skill looks like high risk/high reward about it. Maybe the longer it takes for the animation, the better the attack.

And Critical Art is basically Hyper Bomb, now it’s The Razor’s Edge!

618

Damn capcom-unity won’t open for me, Alex broke the site lmfao

619

God does he look fucking ugly. Hoping for a classic alt that isn’t ugly as shit.
Maybe he looks better in motion.

EHUBS isn’t down if u wanna read it: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2016/mar/10/first-look-alex-street-fighter-5-march-update-detailed/?page=1#c940014

Hm he doesn’t look all that different. Looks very 80s, like David Bowie or Anime Villain.

Also he’s bleeping huge.

But I’m glad he’ll be a more balanced/neutral and hopefully less nerfed character than R. Mika - honestly it sounds like he’ll be my main

I am scared of his parry tho…parrying seems hard :frowning:
