He only disagrees if you mention the word Alex, it’s like playing Bloody Mary.
Alex, Alex, Alex.
yeah lets hope, also hoping he retains his dash from 3s at least, as well as hopefully some ok positioning after C grabs
@kidhero99 is probably a third strike player who didnt know you have to block stomp standing and proceeded to be stomped to death every single time.
@kidhero99 probably got dash up powerbombed to death as he didnt know being airborne evades a grab.
@kidhero99 dont worry, he doesnt even have stomp in this game.
@kidhero99 is tired of being told be at ‘at ease’ and called ‘loser’ and ‘weak’.
Its OK @kidhero99, its OK. Here is a pat on the back buddy.
I’ve been assuming that V-Skill won’t build any meter due to the counter hit properties it gives your buttons since Crush Counters build v-gauge.
Bigger worry I have at the moment is how we’re going to chase without stomp or elbow. I hope he has at least one normal that moves him forward and is not awful.
I have a feeling that Headbutt isn’t going to be as good as Birdie’s dive.
lol. This made my day. xD
Weren’t we told specificity that V-skill would help his grab game? I’m failing to see how a counter hit creator will do that.
It’ll make people want to block. It’ll also make people want to jab though. Therein lies the mixup
Now the question I have about Alex’s V-Skill is what happens on a stun. V-skill forces a counterhit so does that mean he can stun>Armcrank > HP(CC) > Hp chop >Powerbomb.
If so that is obscene in and of itself.
Alex’s V-skill is either going to be absolutely nuts or completely useless.
Clothesline is obviously the elbow replacement for getting in cross screen, but it’s V-trigger only, and they said he has multiple options for closing quickly so I’m wondering what the others are. It’d be interesting if you had a f.HP that moved forward like Laura’s, and was almost like a proto-slash elbow, like a normal version of slash elbow. Alternatively, If headbutt could go full screen on EX it’d be pretty nuts.
And I’m with GenUser on the dash, without a fast, scary dash, Alex is hardly Alex at all.
Hey who knows, maybe they made his dive-body actually good and that’s his primary get in method Lol!
Exactly! This is exactly the possible combo I was bringing up before, except with HK since we know that’s a crush. This would be so disgusting, but it would definitely give him a reason to push for stun.
Worth noting, they only said you waste the V-skill powerup on a whiff, or if you’re blocked, they never said anything about when you’re hit. Meaning that, unlike Mika, Alex probably get’s his counter hit even if he’s jabbed first.
Would have been good if they gave him unlimited elbow slash when in VT and it was actually good.
Jazzy NYC 2016.
I need it.
In my veins.
Excited to play this dude. This is the type of redesign I don’t mind at all. I don’t get the criticism.
for sure. It’s hard to criticize at the moment, none of us has had a shot at playing the SFV iteration of Alex… hell, we haven’t even seen anything save for a write-up and a few screenshots. I’m thirsty af for more information or the trailer and it’s killing my will to play anyone else in this game in the meantime.
We’re thirsty for info so we’re mostly speculating.
Eh right not my biggest concern/curiosity is his v-trigger. I’m just trying to think of it in terms of how it can be applied. For ryu and his denjin you can threaten someone from full screen and mid screen, but for alex you’ll be comitted to the move from the getgo and can only use it once. I can’t really say if we don’t even have a trailer, but unless he’s got some legit way of preventing you from just jumping over it, then idk. Maybe it just happens to have one of those extremely tall hitboxes liek zangief headbutt that will also punish jumpers and perhaps do a huge chunk of damage.
Need more details! And a trailer! Damn capcom
How do they QA the DLC characters for balance? The potential of a future DLC character to release and be absolutely nuts is pretty high, every DLC-per-timeframe fighting game I’ve ever played has had issues with balancing the new characters and they’ve needed a patch after release.
Think that’ll happen if he’s truly broken or do we get to keep broken Alex until v2017
bet we get to keep broken alex until the next balance patch comes in
I need this trailer so badly. Its really starting to get to me not seeing him in action. I want to know if turned certain moves like elbow into a normal. I want to see the range v trigger has, how fast is vskill. They really dodnt tell us anything about the character, we know te shell of the character but nothing about his inner workings.
Let’s just hope he’s broken good not broken bad lol
