The Complete Alex Thread

Thinking out loud: What can Chun Li do to escape from the Stun Gun SA3? I’m thinking EX Spinning Bird Kick, but if she doesn’t have a charge what else could she do?

Stun Gun sucks on Chun.

She can s.lp, just like (i think) every other character in the game.

Every character can jab out yeah, regardless of blockstun or parry. Hell, if you parry the Flash Chop then some characters can just dash under.

Yeah that guy who did the Stun Gun Headbutt video sucks video told me about that. Sucks. There goes my search for Anti-Chun Technology.

She can probably do cl. HK too tbh.

It’s funny; I’ve re-read the first ten or so pages of this thread and there’s still so much good info. It’s funny reading about playing AE online, we’ve obviously come a long way. Not a lot of new info nowadays, and I haven’t been contributing a lot of good stuff either. I admit to that.

BTW: Since I had just a lovely time dealing with this… What can Alex do to beat Chun’s HK Option Select?

Jump, tech throw, Stomp, Super, and if you’re feeling wacky, UOH, EX Knee or Spiral DDT.

Basically, guess right. If everyone else has a problem with Chun’s SGGK, then Alex does too.

I’m not sure there’s much he can do, unless stomp or ex stomp can get him out, but obviously you gotta have it charged.

I’ve noticed a few good Alex’s jumping and dashing in alot vs chun, which normally would be stupid, but I was thinking about it and it kinda makes sense. Alex has an alright dash and some pretty ambigious jump setups. I’m guessing the idea is to bait them into blocking for fear of a jump in combo, then start with dash ins. Once you get a knockdown you can just start baiting crouch techs and throws. It’s just getting that knockdown that seems difficult.

edit
What aku said is true, her SGGK is a pain for every character.

Pretty much impossible to tech throw it on GGPO.

Something interesting to bring up. Alex’s air Dive does actually beat most of Chun’s ground normals. Particularly bHP, tHP, sHK. Her crHK has a weird hit box where sometimes it will beat it, sometimes it will trade, and sometimes it gets beaten clean. If you hit her with Dive when she uses sHK this actually launches her and she can be juggled.

What’s interesting is that if it hits her, this pushes her away where she cannot (A) kara-throw you and (B) can’t follow up with crMK or anything else because you can block in time. If this hits her you can jump immediately, or even Stomp if she throws out a crMK, not to mention Parry-bait her.

I’m not suggesting everyone should spam Dive on Chun, but it’s another tool to keep in mind.

No…

People on SRK don’t count.

Are there any vids of a high level Alex vs a high level Chun and the Alex wins? I just dont know how that matchup is winnable at all on a high level.

Look for Genki’s Alex matches on youtube. He does not always beat a Chun-Li, but he is just too good.
Here is a match where an Alex player actually wins:

There are not many youtube videos where an Alex player beats a good Chun-Li, espeacially at high level.
But, you might get some ideas about the match up.

Zangoef (ALEX) vs Rikimaru (CHUN-LI)

You really can’t escape: Stun gun combos.

Poke> mp slash or lp slash, stungun. You have to be incredibly fast to use the lp version.

J hp, close mk, hk shoulder rush, stungun

Parry, hp slash, stungun.

Shoulder rush (hits) stungun. would work as a wakeup mindgame after a throw.

ST mp, or c lk or st mk, shoulder rush, stungun.

Followups

Hp slash, hp powerbomb
Hp slash, clothesline throw
Hp slash, sweep
J hp st mp/mk mp slash , mp or lp powerbomb ( the closest thing alex has to DEN DEN DEN!)
clk, st mp, mp slash, lp or mp powerbomb
J hp stun reset to powerbomb or regular throw
J hp, sweep
J hk, dash powerbomb, throw, or clothesline throw
Alex stomp. Sets up Down hp/alex stomp shenanigan loop.
Hp slash, back hp.
** Stand mk stun links into mp slash.

Thought you can’t combo from standing close mp/mk into MP Chop…

You can’t. I wouldn’t even bother paying attention to that post…

I love TNB posts
