The Complete Alex Thread

Good advice.

Headbutts do as much damage as a MP Powerbomb plus the AWESOME STUN. As far as SA2 in concerned–DON’T GET LAUNCHED.

Stay out of the air. Serio.

Bait Oro into missing his uppercut, punish. This is only useful when Oro is knocked down and feels pressured though.

Try not to poke randomly, or counterpoke, because his pokes >>> yours. This is especially true if you try to counterpoke with Dwn MP. If you take the trade with his stand HK, you take decent damage and good stun.

Get in close with a TIMED Ex dash elbow.

Don’t jump too much, but remember that he still is a charge character (unless you’re playing someone who can charge buffer. Then you’re screwed)

TIMING is the most critical thing with jumping vs Oro. His HK will beat the crap outta you, and even if he chooses not to attack, his dash is the lowest dash in the game, IIRC

what’s the input 4 the kara flash-chop?:woot:

qcf+HK~MP or HP

At first it seemed useful, now I don’t bother unless I’m messing with people. If you’re using it to cause a whiffed throw, if they srk on wakeup instead you still get it. I guess empty jump (parry input in the air), kara flash can be ok as an occasional gimmick. If they walk under you, just forget it. Put it this way, if a character walks under Alex who doesn’t have a crossup, they’re most likely not going to wait for a throw attempt.

what does the animation look like for the kara flash chop

he takes a little step back then flash chops.

thnx

this is a video every alex player should witness

Alex’s headbutt is DAMN GOOD.

Good advice.

not against lows

I stole the idea after watching you play in the 3/8/2008 FFA 2on2.

At first I was like… how come he’s throwing out so many headbutts?

Then I realized that I undervalued the potential of headbutt.

very nice. that displays how alex should be played imo. wreckless and if it fails, better luck next round.

Did Alex do a crossup here @ 00:19?

Sure looks like it.

shows sanchez and other alex players playing against rayraymos and soda popinski jr.

MK alex! auto win!

das me. but i didn’t get going til about near the end of part 1

im trying to cut them up and put up single matches but it seems everyone can download at high speed but me so I guess that fine.

also everyone needs to remember this is casuals not tournament. Regardless I am still an in your face player, but I wasn’t playing safe at all.

Weird…

All 3 of us play Gold Alex.

Anyhow, after knocking down an opponent, which characters can Alex ground crossup over, using Dwn HP?

I had no idea you could do that. I just try dashing.
