@Gabri3l_WHOA i have a lot of thoughts on new Alex, too much to write down at the moment since I’m at work.
tl:dr version though is :
yes he’s still viable.
yes, he’s gotten worse.
should you pick laura instead if you want to play to win with this archetype? yes.
do you hate the ugly skank and rather stick to Alex? that’s fine too.
Alex has to work harder.
peeps are underestimating the true impact behind a lot of his changes. sad.

You played Rog too right? What are your opinions so far, I’m seeing nothing but gigantic positives his way. Both universal and character specific changes. He’s a complete monster in this version.
That av is gdlk.
PAGE ONE SCRUB POST! BOOM
She’s mostly -2 on a ton of her stuff apart from her light and medium normals. If you get command grabbed its not a bad idea to back dash ( right at the last second) on the follow up KD. There’s a small window when you can see her use either a meaty or a dash/command up.
Lp bolt the elbow is the main one you want to challenge.
The game definitely feels more footsie orientated. Almost gonna say it feels more like SF4. I have been finding myself whiff punishing stuff much easier than before.

I’ve thought about this more and it actually seems plausible. We know Capcom are at least interested in doing crossovers again with MvCI. We know Capcom like to “test the waters” before they jump into potential projects at times (CvS3?). We know they’re not averse to guest characters to/from rival franchises. And though the quote could well have just been a sloppy translation, we heard that the 5 remaining characters being brand new to the Street Fighter universe may have been a very, very indirect hint that we would be seeing characters from other universes.
wolfkrone #3 on the leaderboards
I would love to see Iori on this game but that silhouette behind akuma does not match Iori at all, it’s way too bulky. Iori is a skinny ass mofo.
I don’t think capcom gets the concept of seasons. The leaderboards should have been wiped
He’s skinny in SNK’s style but he’s gonna get gorillafied for SFV.
Other universes?

Then again the online is trash and you don’t get shit for being high up on the boards.
rog is god. he was always good and very underestimated.
now he mostly got nothing but explosive buffs.
still loses to laura tho. even more so now probably.
Me laying waste to all these day 1 uriens
That’s because Laura is one step away from being legitimately crazy. Only reason she’s not totally busted is because she still has to play mid range before she gets to be her broken self.
@Jerom Do you still play Gief? I need help figuring out the Gief vs. Laura match up. The last time you bodied my Alex it helped me against Gief.
It’s weird being able to do so much more with him, now.
