The Complete Alex Thread

Window’s small, but you can cross up with j.fierce or j.roundhouse.

Cross-up stomp setups are always fun, too.

what makes alex sucks ?

Hey, I just made someone rage quit in 2DF by using Alex. Do I get a medal?

Not unless you count his Stomp cross up.

I think you unlock an achievement by making someone rage quit by using Sean though…lulz

I am starting to use Alex, he is alot of fun. I just dont know what I should do in situations, should I pressure all the time or should I play it safe. So can anyone help me with that?

Also I need to know, does he have any combos?

The only one I have found is Foward MK into the EX move when he flys in the air and crushes you with the knee.

I also need to know more super cancels. I only know how to QCF.P into super.

I think that being able to change between rushdown and playing it safe is a good idea. It makes one more able to adapt to an opponent’s style and outplay/out-mind-game them.

The cl.forward (the close knee) combos into the jab/EX flash chop very nicely and it has good damage and stun. That combo also works if you get a deep jump in like j.fierce.

EX flash chop can cancel into sa2.

You can cancel his dashing-elbow special into sa3 (Stun Gun Headbutt) but no one really takes stun gun seriously.

Alright awesome thanks, also one more question.

What is a Flash Chop?

Lol sorry but I only know the names to Dudley’s moves…

lol flash chop is :qcf::p:

qcf.p ??

the good thing about alex is that he dont need to do super cancel often .

st.short -> sa2 ( qcf.lk qcf p )

st.close-forward -> sa2 ( can be late cancelled )

i wonder what other players like abuse on alex players that often that alex get owned by ken chun yun akuma etc etc ?

all i know is that they keep running away , c.short spam , random-shoryu .

tell what you don’t like what people do to your alex strategy ?

Alright awesome thanks guys!

Sometimes I play Chuns that like to abuse her punches and they’ll constantly retreat and punch the air until I do something foolish and jump in on them or try to rush them down then they c.forward xx sa2. :sweat: Makoto’s that guess right all the time and always seem to karakusa me when I thought I was either out of range or was sure my attack was going to hit first. Man that really grinds my gears. :smile:

4HP is your friend against Chun and Mokoto imo.

the one that alex does lariat ? or head-butt ?

Hey guys I have been having trouble with this one but I would like to know.

I see vids of Alex players using a move when he takes them by the neck and keeps doing little things of damage. How do I do that?

Also Savaii, Alex is my secondary now!

Headbutt.

Just do the headbutt on a back-turned opponent, like after a flash chop, only use it if they are too far away to be grabbed by a powerbomb though, since that does more damage.

By headbutt you mean back HP, and I can only do it on a character whos back is turned.

You got that right! You can do :l::hp: after a fierce flash chop. Glad to hear you chose to step away from the dark side of 3s (ie away from ol’ chunners). Alex is the NUMBA WUN STUNNA (WAT WAT WAAAAT). /all caps
