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

Unlikely. More likely to get released after Final Round 19

Itā€™d be much better as a time based attack rather than a one shot

Right after? Without trailer nor anything? Seems weird. A trailer in final round and the realease 1 week after seems very plausible.

To clarify thats what I meantā€¦ The trailer will be released after final roundā€¦ Not him.

If youā€™re talking about his lariat, it looks like it is a time based attack. His trigger is called ā€œRage Shiftā€ and it gives you access to the attack called ā€œLariat Sledgehammerā€. If it were a one off I donā€™t think it would need two names. The text we have is pretty vague right now though.

So which is your preferred Alex color and which ones do you hope they bring back?

Iā€™ve always played with MP, LK, and LP+MK+HP the most, but Iā€™m hoping against hope that they somehow get his Start + HK Rambo color in there!

Start+MK Start+LP and start+HP.

I just want to pretend we do not have ANOTHER blonde in the game.

considering how different he looks i donā€™t think the same colors will translate as well.

I would like my Hulk Hogans colour, brother.

did they seriously remove these moves

if so, thats a huge bummer, doesnt that make him a fundamentaly different character, and i dont think thats what people wanted when they asked for Alex to return to SF

If theres no DDT move he will probably have the same animation for his normal grab. I could see his back grab being his sleeper hold too. Obviously not the same as the actual moves but its better than forgetting them completely.

Iā€™m gonna miss the b, f+k move a LOT. Love that shit.

I always preferred Start+MP and Start+HK myself. Looking forward to seeing what colors heā€™ll have in 5.

Start+mp and start+lk were always my jam. I just want a purple alex. Like full on retarded; purple pants and purple hair and something to juxtapose it like a yellow or orange headband. In general, any character that has a purple alt I will pick. Same goes for smash and every other fighting game I play, have played, and will ever play.

Iā€™ve always used LK and LP+MK+FP as my go-to colors. So either of those would be okay.

This made me curious.

I think they still work pretty well! But I guess weā€™ll just have to see what capcom comes up with.

If he doesnā€™t have DDT he needs an amazing dash to be able to be a threat from around poke range.

Just thinking what heā€™d play like with his special moves, he needs mobility to be good.

Maybe he has good unique normals? Maybe he has a hop overhead which leads well into powerbomb.

Oh Iā€™m sick of me and everyone with their conjecture. Cā€™mon capcom

I always liked classic or Iā€™d go for Start+Mp( I donā€™t see the additional colors they added in OE) there was a black and yellow one I liked.

YO that shitā€™s tiiiiight! Red alt looks fantastic!

Blue Alex (MP) is my bread and Genki/Kazuya Alex (HP) is my butter.

I want the colors that will change his look drastically. Any one with Skin tone and Hair Color changes.
