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

[KPPortage]

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

THE OVERHEAD CHOP WAS SICK TOO
If you did just jump in fierce and the forward mp chop you could become the CHOP MACHINE

[GenUser]

fuuuuuuuuck need mooooar!

[GenUser]

I really like everything I read, it seems like he will still be pretty mobile from what I understood.

[arnew]

Holy shit I hope he’s mobile. A mobile, badass grappler might be the kind of character I’m looking for.

Oh look the Alex info came out near the 11th like I said it would. Most likely we’ll get the trailer tomorrow. You can all cry tears of joy now.

Rage Shift reminds me of

where do you guys read that he’s mobile? we got nothing but a stationary “powerup” aka vskill and a onehit parry block breaker.

[Plaid_Unicorn]

So is the vskill a hit? Like does it automatically spark a counter hit on contact?

Is it a crush counter as well?

It makes his next attack a counterhit, so I don’t think it has a hitbox in itself.

“Alex has a variety of special attacks that can cover a large portion of the screen for those times when the opponent keeps him out.”

Didn’t he only have ex stomp for that before? Or am I remembering wrong?

[awkwardscrub]

Cr.HP canceled into knee lift/air throw. Pleaaaaaase.

Also: Alex has kissy face in that pose. smoooooooch!

You could whiff punish with EX slash elbow

[Doopliss]

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.

IIRC he also had follow-up(s) from the dash elbow as well as that chargeable slash chop that went into an auto combo.

Personally I really hope he still has those back-grab variants, that’s my favorite thing about him in 3S.

considering it looks like he lost the chop i wouldn’t bet on it. i think R.mika is going to play closer to his old self than he will.

Flash Chop moved him forward and would eat normals and projectiles

Naaah, the only confirmed special we know he has is powerbomb. And maybe headbutt grab is a special now too?
But I’m pretty sure he’ll still have flash chop, that move is literally his only real “midscreen footsie” tool, and it eats fireballs.

[pootnannies]

Wonder what those anti airs will be.

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

the shoulder?

no that was cr. fierce. he’s talking about that spin with his arms out that was good against some jumps. it was also used for his kara throw.

[OilyKoryuken]

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

lol don’t worry

Right now he sounds like **Mika with better midrange and less focus on wakeup BS. **

that’s what I was saying earlier

[Blasphemous_Black]

the camera angle makes that seem like its part of CA.

[Duralath]

My tears of joy. HOLY SHITE I CAN PLAY ALEX AGAIN
