The Complete Alex Thread

So what’s the best link into SA2? is it slash elbow or c.lk>lp.flash chop>SA2? I keep coming up with weird questions that I can’t find anywhere else.

Also slash elbow>ex Knee? Practical uses or is it a bad move cause the fact punishment could suck? I used it on computer and it seems to be the only viable combo that doesn’t include getting close on opponent.

and to kaikillah ??? what are you talking about

the best link would be mk to sa2
links:
mk-sa2(can hit confirm)
c.lpx2-sa2(can hit confirm)
c.lk-sa2
whiff punish slash elbow-sa2
mp/hp/ex flash chop-sa2
uoh-sa2

i dont know if lp flash chop can cancel or link into sa2
everthing after c.lpx2-sa2 is not really usefull hell not even c.lpx2 to is mk should really be the only usefull way to combo into sa2.you shouldn’t be really worried about using super with alex his ex moves are just to badass
wtf is with that second tactic your definetly getting punish and it just seems retarded to use.

The only moves that Alex can link SA2 off of are strong and fierce Flash Chop. Everything else is a cancel.

Alex can’t link/cancel into SA2 off of jab Flash Chop.

And yes, best hit confirm into SA2 is close s.forward. Gives as much time as like… Ken’s cr.strong link into Shippu, methinks.

I like using strong flash chop, then Medium punch, then connect into SA2. It’s flashy but it does alot of damage and its very playable when used correctly.

Alex is a stunner I tell you. Use the fact that random throws can bring a high stun meter to it’s knees, plus some random standing fierce punch can stuff for ton of damage.

I dunno why I added that last part. I guess I enjoy playing Alex alot.

I just use standing strong and connect that into super. Fuck that Flash chop shit. HIT CONFIRM4LYFERS

lol my message got owned by hit confirmation o.O

Use close MK then chain to SA2. :rofl:

Can someone confirm this combo video for me?

The very first combo doesn’t seem to chain…in fact it doesn’t…so what happened…

The first two hits were probably used to time the AA Slash Elbow x Stungun combo. It’s pretty awkward to land otherwise.

Yeah…the first 2 hits aren’t even part of the combo. It’s more so just a setup for AA HK slash elbow into SA3. (which is like…impossible to land).

awkward indeed…

but I confirmed that it does work.

Lets move to another subject.

Best SA for Alex?

It seems like the best debate so far is either go for Hyper bomb or stun gun…and lose a lot of chances for ex moves…

or play it safe with boomerang raid and have a decent SA with two bars of EX…

I think it mainly depends on your style of course…cus everyone has their two cents to throw in.

I like his SAII better…

All of your questions have been answered before. Just read the thread from the beginning.

we all do:lovin:

You know what I like adding to things?

Sugar. Cause that shit is sweet.

What I’ve said before is a matter of person opinion. No opinion’s can be answered in threads when people have different things to say lol

Hyperbomb sucks because of the startup that lets people jump out of it and you can be jabbed/DP’d out of Stungun by anyone remotely good. The MP/HP Flash Chop supercancel/link combos involving those supers prevent those problems when they do land but that happens too rarely to be worth it.
Thus: SA2

(i still play stungun cuz i’m gay)

They don’t “prevent” those problems, they just aren’t inherent in those situations because they combo.

I have nothing to add to this, I just thought I’d point that out.

edit: I do have something to add. You don’t play stun gun cause you’re gay, but because you suck. That is all.

I play stun gun because I know how to fucking use it.

End of story.

haha yeah don’t post here

show me at evo for…say 20 bucks? 3/5?ft5? maybe more than 20? mirror match? do it do it.
