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

Karin gets to have the full animation on air hit/juggle right? No more “lol they were pushed out and the last grab whiffed” shit from 3s I pray.

Nice!

Alex looks older and bulkier than in SF3 (reminds me to Wolf from Virtua Fighter) but gameplay wise he seems to be a beast.

This was pretty much my thinking. I’ve seen that far too many times over the years.

every super works like that right now, once it connects (properly), you get all the hits

Blue steel!!!

I’m a bit disappointed with his v skill. It’s basically his taunt from 3s. Could have kept it as his taunt with the boost. They should have Abilities linked to taunts in this game like third strike.

Agree we don’t know enough about the v trigger to know if its any good. I guess a one off move is more interesting than just a generic power up.

Got alex news with the civil war trailer that shows spider man, what a day!

Just speculating here, but I wonder if you can combo into his headbutt hit-grab off of counterhits maybe? The articles say that his v-skill amplify his background as a grappler, so I’m thinking that it would be neat it his headbutt wan cancellable but NOT comboable from standing medium; but was possible to do so off counterhits.

LOL, I see we both jumped on the change your avatar to alex hype train XD.
Good shit man.

It’d be nice if v skill winded up fast enough so he can get the big bonus damage on stunned folks

So if v skill makes the next hit like a counter hit, it would mean you could probably combo off of lights. Thats not bad.

The counterhit aspect definitely spiked my interest for the character. JUST GIVE ME A RELEASE DATE CAPCOM!

Wonder what those anti airs will be.

will we get crush counter combos off of STUNNED opponents?
hit them into stun
activate v skill
land free crush counter combo

Hopefully still his Forward Fierce like in 3S, that move was siiiiick

the shoulder?

Nope.

The yaaa and he spins around with his fist at an upward angle.

I haven’t played Alex in anything but third strike. What was he like in consequent games? He was in tatsunoko right? Any new moves?

I think he had an aerial powerbomb, which would be hilarious in this game.

I think foward med. punch will still be in, that hit divekickers and other shenanigans in 3s well enough

no he kept all his moves iirc

edit:forgot about the air grab

Im afraid hes gonna play like a grappler like zangief more than a grappler like R mika. We will see :slight_smile: CANT WAIT TO PLAY HIM!!!

lol don’t worry

Right now he sounds like Mika with better midrange and less focus on wakeup BS. Still will probably have a terrifying corner game, just 2nd to mika.
