I have a big problem with getting in on players that sit back with shotos and just throw shit or just turtle in general, what can i do to quickly corner them or get close enough to punish and knock them down.

THAT is one bad ass avatar.
Don’t bother trying to get close to em. If you really want to, just walk up to em and then wait for them to do something and then you make your move.
But if you really wanna be safe, just wait em out, they only turtle to build meter, if you can handle a ken with full meter, you’re fucking bad ass in my eyes. So yeah just wait them out too, because the only thing that gets a turtle to attack is another turtle. Alex builds meter faster than Ken too, so get on that shit.
Dude, there’s a thread about Alex vs turtle Ken with 43 posts almost right below this. Tonnes of info there.
turtle shotos are ok , but alex being cornered by by shotos is more worse
Hey, long time reader , first time poster, anyways i got some questions, about Alex.
What is “whiffing” , “wake-up”, "charge partitioning " (how do you do that)
In one of the KSK videos, he did a flashchop xx EX flash elbow" , what is the motion for that, and how was that done ?
Thanks in advice

whiffing, is missing an attack, whether it be purposefully or accidental, like when you build meter. You whiff your normal attack.
Wake up is when you are knocked down or knock someone down. The act of getting back up from the knock down is “wake up”.
Charge partitioning is setting a charge for one of those Hold back push forward and kick for tackle moves with alex and either dashing, whiffing a move or jumping and then executing.
Like…I’m holding back and then I dash, and I do the EX Elbow Smash, the one where he shines brightly and bum rushes you for two hits.
That would be a Charge partition. I’m not really good with explanations, so maybe some textbook alex player here can recite the proper terms used in explaining a charge partition.
ok as for KSK video doing Flash xx EX Flash Elbow, it goes
qcf + strong or fierce punch, hold back immediately after pushing your punch, wait a bit, and then forward and any two punches.
its not hard at all, its just really the matter of actually landing the fierce flash chop or strong flash chop.
Hopefully neither you or I get flamed for these posts but yeah.
Hope that helped.
Cool, thanks that helped alot. It Cleared up alot of confusion. I live in an area where the street fighter scene is pretty much non-existent , so I’m behind on the lingo.
I think the EX. Elbow Smash , is a kick , so that would be two kicks. I’'ll mess around and see, I thought there was some special motion you have to do,
I’m playing on the pad, ps2 SF 3S. I’m still working on the basics, like “buffering, canceling, and other basics” like that.
Yeah…strange that slash elbow is done with a kick command when he uses his elbow to hit you.
^^
All of Elena’s punches do kicks and all of Dudley’s Kick’s do punches…it’s not that weird.
Dander STFU you aint KSK, just cause you give him tips on how to pick up mexican chicks on AIM.
