So the first DLC is set for 2 months after launch?
Yes
Dont quote me bro
Actually, I just a weird thought; what if they gave Alex an EX Powerbomb and it was basically his replacement for Hyper Bomb*?
*BT= the multiple suplexsā and doing it regular is his Hyper Bomb animation.
I think they said that 6 characters the first year, so we all think that they are going to release 1 every 2 months, the thing is that the game is releasing in february so maybe we will get the first DLC character on march and then the next one on April and then every 2 months.
Thatās the route Iād go. Make his CA boomerang raid, and make hyper bomb his EX grab. Also, make the grab on boomerang raid only go off if he gets the last hit.
Make Stun Gun into his EX version of Spiral DDT. Doesnāt cause full stun anymore, only 50% off of one grab. Pretty good IMO.
Other things Iād do:
V-Skill would be some sort of dodge move, like Mardukās side shift in Tekken. Goes around fireballs, and can cross-up like Blankaās hop thing.
V-Trigger would be a Superkick/Sweet Chin Music. Armored, unsafe on block, wallbounce on hit. Lets you combo into into the jumping knee, critical art, or any air normal.
New command normal, DF+HK. Overhead. Looks like Hulk Hoganās atomic leg drop. He already has the big boot, better give him that one too.
All I want to do is drink some beers and stomp loop scrubs for hours.
I also want standing HP to still be an overhead. Please, let him keep that. And I really fucking hope that if he is getting a wardrobe change or redesign, that itās NOT the one in the US stage background because I donāt like it at all.
I really hope alex keeps his fierce overhead as well.
Ono:* As for characters, weāre still working on the details of each individual character but, yeah, itās absolutely possible that even experienced players will see some surprises, like Vega going from a charge to a command character. Like, for Alex, you might find that he plays completely different, or we might do something really crazy and shave his head. (Laughs) Just wait until the information about these characters leaks in the near future." *
Iām scared guys.
Alex with steel chair V Skill
Iām guessing his MP and HP Flash Chops will cause a Crush Counter state? His Command Grabs should be able to combo into Crush Counters (Flash Chop or regular CCs).
Stand roundhouse crush counter for the win gIāve it a crumple state for free dash in fun rubs nipples
Thanks @Dragonfave723, I remembered Ono said some stuff about Alex possibilities before he was announced. I couldnāt find it and I was starting to think I was wrong.
Bald Alex would be a little weirdā¦ but a lot more Hogan-like.
Does any special move cause CC in the game, though?
No, but they can cause crumples on hit
Lauraās V-skill can cause CC.
Mika can combo her command grabs in CC state. No reason why it canāt work for Alex.
Imagine someone whiffing a DP, it lands and you can CC with a normal and then full combo or flash chop, do crumple or whatever it is called, and full comboā¦ isnāt it overlapping?
I know Iām only thinking about a whiffed or blocked DP and that there are many others situations for CC.
it would make some amount of sense if his v-trigger was a state that gave him crush counter on more things and that yeah he could combo into powerbomb or whatever on a ccd opponent.
so maybe in v-trigger flash chop gains the ability to crush and depending on the flash chop used you can connect different strength powerbombs after or back fierce or something. i donāt know.
āThe beta tests we have been running have been very challenging. Weāre going to be aggressively testing the game between now and its launch, as online play is such an important aspect of SFV. As for characters, weāre still working on the details of each individual character but, yeah, itās absolutely possible that even experienced players will see some surprises, like Vega going from a charge to a command character. Like, for Alex, you might find that he plays completely different, or we might do something really crazy and shave his head. (Laughs) Just wait until the information about these characters leaks in the near future.ā
Lol at wait for leaks
Better not a shave a single hair on his head. people want Alex, and the first thing to do is completely revamp him appearance wise. Itās not like heās the SF2 characters whoās been un-redesigned for the last 25 yearsā¦people wanted big changes to them not drastic design changes to the SF3 characters. A different shirt okay. Not go hamā¦if your shaving anyones head shave guile. Heās breaking all kinds of military haircut regulations.
