I’m willing to bet Alex’s Crush Headbutt is not a hit-grab. It’s replacing DDT as his ranged throw firstly, and secondly, DDT was really situational. I’d expect them to have to make it better than DDT if they’re going to make Alex competitive.
Yeah I expect this… but when it comes to Capcom it’s safe to say my expectations are more than a little shaken.
The McDonald’s logo in the sixth panel had me in stitches LMAO

So THATS why Alex looks older in V than in III.

Always a pleasure to start a discussion about state, and international gambling laws, and where they do, and do not apply in a street fighter thread!
Also I wanted to point out, at least now we know what caused the delay, and why Capcom was so silent about it. It was the Zenny. They had to decide wether to release a buggy and unfinished real money currency, delay the march update indefinitely till they could fix it, or release the March update WITHOUT a way to purchase the characters/costumes outside of fight money. Delaying paid DLC options is something that effects their bottom line and their core business model, dealing with that must have been a sh*tstorm internally. There would have been a lot of corporate interests (especially considering the sale numbers) and too much uncertainty for the development team to give us a straight answer until the big wigs made their decision.
I would like to say though, that Capcom made the right decision. Kudos to them for that. Giving everyone free access to the characters until they get their garbage together is great, and giving everyone two free story costumes permanently is a good gesture as well.
Considering Capcom’s less than stellar PR record I’m legitimately surprised they didn’t screw this up further.
I can’t say kudos to them for anything right now. They released a broken game, and fixing it now
Holy shit man you’re readier for this than all of us.

Love how mad is Gief in that comic.
Wait, he’s really going to be free?
Bu-bu-but how is there going to be a reason to make him S-Tier now?
Man, I would have been happy to pay those $5 for broken Alex to show those Chun Li players what brokeness is really like (think BBCP Kokonoe or KoF XIII Mr. Karate).
Welp, it will be fine as long as he doesn’t become Zangief and Laura’s companion down there in the abyssal zones of the tier lists.

Yeah, he was supposed to cost 100,000 fight money, or some undisclosed amount of dollars (probably 5) but since they haven’t gotten the real money payments working yet, they didn’t want people to be locked out of playing him, so for the next month or so (or however long it takes to get real money payments working) he’s free to all.

Dude you really need to get this bi-color Balltop to match the rest of it.
So are they going to nuke this thread once he’s released or what?
So…alex trailer today…maybe?
Crossing my fingers. But if it’s not, it’s no big issue because it’ll happen tomorrow.

NCR SFV Top 8 is Sunday right? If so then Alex trailer will probably drop before/after that.
Wish qanba q1 was easier to replace art for ;-; how am i suppose to show my alex hype
I think the trailer will drop later tonight, since Capcomfighters will only be livestreaming for today, while Teamspooky will stream all of the finals tomorrow.
