I’m fairly certain it’s either:
A) Absorbs one ATTACK, so yes something like chun’s lighting legs or fang’s double hitting normals
or
B ) Absorbs one HIT, but charges real fast, covers a lot of ground and does a shitload of damage.
I dunno. A guard break sounds kinda bad. I’m not sure how you would be able to implement that, and what advantage it would have over a regular command grab.
If it’s vulnerable to V-reversal, it might be useless
Maybe it causes a crumple state on hit or something. The description doesn’t sell me.
Too early to judge that. A guard break will most likely let him get a basic combo starter in, and we don’t know how his normal damage output with EX enders is like; but judging from his damage in 3S and his size in this game it’s probably close to birdie’s. Again, we don’t know.
HE’S COMING!
I want the following:
[list]
[] 400 stun minimum for grab Headbutt. Two consecutive headbutts should stun everyone in the cast.
[] Stomp covers from close range (LK) to midscreen (HK). It hits overhead on all variants or is safe in all of them. Its hurtbox is high enough to jump a projectile at its highest point.
[] LK Spiral DDT whiffs on standing characters, but is unblockable by crouching ones.
[] If Stomp isn’t overhead, standing HP has 14 frames and deals about 120 damage.
[] Either EX Slash Elbow or counterhit regular slash elbow wall bounce the opponent like in TvC.
[] Unlike the vast majority of the cast, he has a good fierce AA normal. Forward HP for 120 damage would be a candidate.
[] Standing HK is armored and its pushback is big enough to make it safe at max range.
[] Give Powerbomb less range than SPD but keep at 5f (sigh, how low the command grabs have fallen…) and about 150 damage and 350 stun.

Why people think he won’t have flash chop? I don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t have it.
I wouldn’t miss it actually. Very slow / little range / so so damage dooms it to niche use or gimmick. Much like Urien’s knee drop, it’s a special move I actually want gone so other more useful ones stay while the people that care about “redesigns” can still say Alex is “reimagined” while still being Alex.
This conversation isn’t important! We need to know whether Alex is a grapple buddy or not! CAPCOM WHY DO YOU FAIL US!??!?!
Because they tired of doing nothing but fishing for the EX version in 3S.
I much prefer this one.

Yeah I was half joking but there are elements of him I really want them to keep
I seriously hope he has his spiral DDT…and that you can combo into it.
Kidhero99 has the true guard break.
No one can withstand the “Disagree” with no reasons given.
Seriously - I woke up this morning with Jazzy NYC in my head and it’s stuck there. Not sure if it’s great or I should blame this thread for the amount of remixes they posted.
Really hoping that Headbutt is b.HP and as much as I want it, I don’t think he’ll be getting the sleeper hold.
I’m ready to lose a bunch of LP learning to play him in Ranked.
I havent played much 3S so slight changes wont hit me as hard as an alex veteran…
I just wish for Alex to hit like a truck, that guy better do nasty damage up close
Anyone else think his model looks like it was adapted from bryan in sfxt?
remove pl0x
Zangief already has a rising fierce AA…dunno if they will give Alex his old rising shoulder fierce too.
I think adding an ex version of spiral that is combo able will only make the move cooler so of course it must happen.
I think DDT will just become something like Mika’s stone cold and just be a v reversal.
Groan all you want but it’d probably be more useful that way.
Anyone else think his model looks like it was adapted from bryan in sfxt?
Yeah I kind of see it with the long arms
Confirmed move list?
-Air Stampede
-Flash Chop (told ya)
-Headbutt
-Powerbomb
Air stampede is maybe a real reversal this time? Headbutt’s a special this time.

In order of appearance (blue kanji text): V Trigger, V Skill, Special moves, Critical Art.
V trigger is the sledge hammer (actually used sledge hammer in text) and if you hit him you end up on the character’s back side which you can follow up with an attack.
If you hit with a Heavy Flash chop special attack, you can follow up with a power drop.
Looks like the head crush (the head butt special) has a very small jump.
His boot is back! (st.hk!) And it CCs!
No slash elbow, stomp, or DDT sorry!
