I got Alex in Evo top 8!
Then I failed.
Yeah to be honest it just seems my Dudley isnt so top notch. He is still my boy though.
He is still my best right now. I will make my decision by NECX. Anyone else going?
idk the thing about Dudley is his corkscrew is OP as hell. But I love Alex he has so many options and mind games. But against Chun I almost always pick Dudley for the 4 trips
Alex is secret top tier…
You just have to be a mad genius to see all of his TRUE potential!
Thats about right.
Getting abit better with him.
Just gotta get the execution down. Any of yall have 2DF? I need some Alex mirrors stat.
You need to be able to host…
Are there any matches on YT of SA1 Alex?
Not really…after doing a search I found a vid…but you have probably seen it…no idea who the alex player is. I don’t think I have ever seen Genki, KSK or Zangoef use hyper bomb. Maybe Renic or Sanchez can hook it up with a vid of Sa1 in action. IIRC SA2 is considered Alex’s best super.

sa1 sucks balls
SA1 is fun for gimmicks and people who don’t know how easy it is to get out of it…but!
just use SA2.
Seriously.
Although Hyper Bomb gimmicks ARE fun.
Oh I do use SA2 when playing Alex actually, but…just to piss off people by showing I can beat their ass without the need of a Super, I’d pick SA1…or if I feel like it SA3 >o>
thanks for the vid savaii
That vid was a horrible excuse for getting the Hyper Bomb off. I’d completely understand if the guy was fucking around, but it was just a lucky guess that worked well.
:u: Agreed. Stick to SA2 for serious matches.
Hope you don’t mind if I ask this, but does Alex’s SA1 have similar frame start-up to Necro’s SA2 (grab super)?
Because if so, I wonder if in SF3: 2I, Alex’s SA1 had faster start-up, since a few moves in that game were faster than their 3S ver.
Hyper Bomb and Slam Dance are both 3 frames.
That said, SA1 is asss. The extra S is for sucks.
no pizza?
does Alex have any good meaties at all? I checked the frame data and it said like 85% of his moves have only 1 active frame
From my limited experience, s.mk works fairly well as a meaty when you get the timing down. With a little practice you can put that 1 active frame to work methinks. s.fp is good too but since it has windup it can be parried more readily.
/my 2 cents
Played some 3S today on 2DF, and…say I hit my opponent on their wake up with UOH; whether it hit meaty or not, what could I combo after it besides SA2?
IIRC, late-hitting UOH can be followed up with s.forward xx anything comboable after s.forward (jab or EX Flash Chop, EX Slash Elbow, EX knee if they’re actually standing, or super). At least, I think so. Either that or the meds I’m taking are really starting to warp my mind.
sakeido - Meaty s.fierce will beat/trade with most Shoryus. Oh, and it’ll trade with Akuma’s Hurricane Kick on wake-up.
Yeah, it sucked when I found -that one- out.
UOH frame advantage varies depending on how late it hits and whether or not the opponent was crouching.
Comboing cl.MK after the UOH is easy business under the right conditions.
