I know about the one you’re talking about, I just tried to made something similar to that because I can’t find that one now.
Pretty sure CapCops are waiting for Final Round to release the trailer since that’s the first official CPT tournament of the year.
Not to mention that’ll give the trailer maximum exposure vs just releasing it online.
You know what? I was close enuff
SO I’ve been uncontrollably hype about Alex since the first rumors came out last year, he’s been my favorite Street Fighter for a long long time, and I’ve been mulling over all the new data we have since it dropped.
The most interesting thing to me is the Slash Elbow replacement, the sort of running lariat thing. They basically took his Slash Elbow and made it Trigger only, like Karin’s old rekkas, and turned it into a FULL SCREEN FOCUS ATTACK, which is pretty nutso. The other interesting thing about it though, is that Alex crosses behind the opponent when he does it, meaning that his from-behind specific attacks will probably still be his major thing. Running lariat guard break into suplex from behind? Pretty serious.
At first when I read that his HP slash can be followed by “power drop” I was expecting it to be like Laura’s followup throws, but the fact that his lariat switches sides makes me think otherwise, and that it’s probably just like it was in 3.
His skill is also very interesting! I like it a lot, it’s basically meant to scare your opponent into blocking and getting thrown. I’m also thinking that perhaps Crush Counter > HP slash may be a thing, if that’s the case, stun could be VERY scary from Alex.
Stun > V-Skill > Boot > HP slash > Suplex? Damn.
Also, I like his new costume, but his head is dumb lol. Hoping for an alt with his classic hair cut. Overall, Alex is looking really cool, but I’m gonna miss punishing jumps full screen with slash elbow 
At this point I don’t even care about a trailer, it’s almost mid March and we still don’t have a date yet…
Almost definitely the going to release after the 20th at this point. They’ll give us free content but damned if they won’t make us fucking wait for it. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s in the last 4 days of the month.
At this point final round makes the most sense. They aren’t gonna want to release him before that and only give people a couple of days to learn the matchup before the tourney. I would expect to see a trailer drop this week, maybe Wednesday, then Alex to be playable at a booth at final round, and previewed on WSO sessions and so forth, and then release next week after Final Round has concluded.

No one ever remembers this tournament :c
He’s going to get shown off at Final Round since it makes the most sense really, but eh who knows if we’re lucky he can get shown off on Tuesday with the PSN store update.
Didn’t a Capcom rep say that he will be released on a Friday? Like people have stated, he’ll likely be revealed at FR this weekend, and I think he’ll be available on the 25th.
The hair in SF5 and a lot of things just look terrible. Still a big improvement over SF4, but nowhere near as visually appealing as MKX or XL, KI, or Guilty Gear Xrd. The game looks rushed as hell on a lot of levels. The hair is so stiff and clunky. It looks somewhat better in motion but still images make me cringe. I despise the backgrounds too. Mainly because of all the looney tunes bs background characters that look like a 5 year old drew them. It’s a disgrace. Just make them like KI. KI’s backgrounds are gorgeous. I’m not very happy with Alex’ redesign. I mean they left him the same, but made him look worse. How the hell do you accomplish that? Suspenders? Shitty Hair? Make him look 20 years older from SF3 when he is supposed to be younger??? You made him look the same but worse…jesus Capcom. I really think SF5 is much better than SF4 visually, but I’d still prefer a 2d look IE Guilty Gear Xrd. How amazing would SF5 look with graphics like that? Just sayin…And lol at Aris’s monkey image of Alex from avoiding the puddle…that shit was hilarioussss…Jump to the 15 min mark or so. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ehnLRtDyHd8
LOL too much salt on your Alex fries man.
I actually like the clay/sculpture style of the art in V (which is obviously a deliberate design decision and not an accident, like the majority of the Internet seems to think). Street fighter’s art style has never been “anime” (outside of alpha) and it’s never been photo-real, I think the sculptural style is a very cool middle ground.
Although I do agree with you that the background characters are terrible, I think the only glaringly ugly things outside of that are Ken and Alex really. Vega’s face is a bit funky, and there are clipping issue with some characters, but it’s nothing disgraceful. Overall I’d say the character and stage design is pretty great, and the animations are the best I’ve seen in a fighting game.
But I guess that’s just me!
The only things that bother me is the clipping and the 10 fps background characters, also this weird pixel at ion that happens on the chatacters that looks like dots …hard to describe
The game looks incredible at max settings on PC with the blur option disabled for sure, but a lot of the hair does look weird. Mika’s pigtails have a mind of their own, Ken’s hair can look weird at some points and clips through his model too much, Zangief’s mohawk even has some issues somehow? Most of the model physics freak me out, the cloth physics as well.
Stream is saying that Alex is out. Could be a troll though, even mods are saying it.
uh, shouldn’t there be a patch
No update, and not seeing him on PSN or Steam store.
Has to be a troll
