Well I’ve been training my opponent to crouch block by spamming cr.C into stomp, a BBQ combo, or some variation of assist combo. Finally, when they crouch, I would make use of a VERY low to the ground j.C. But like I said, it’s not much that Alex can do to make the opponent feel very uncomfortable from what I can tell at this point in time.
Yeah, he doesnt have an** unblockable **or anything.
holding up-back is pretty buff against alex. if he chains into sweep you jump and airblock it, if he does overhead you also airblock it, if he grabs you jump away
in pretty much all of those situations you get free shit as well
if alex attempts to read you and airthrow you (for crap damage) and accidentally gets a dive, he dies
if alex attempts to read you and does a raw 623C (for crap damage, there doesn’t seem to be any way to tack on an assist or anything here) and guesses wrong, he dies
</3 option select defense…
A question about Alex’s unblockable. If the opponent summons the assist, and you hit the assist and the opponent is directly behind the assist (both characters in range of being hit), do both of them get hit? Or just the person in front (this case, being the assist)?
both get hit, if youre doing normal moves
i think ryus super only hits the guy in front though, similar to mega optic blast in mvc2
Edit: He’s talking about the unblockable charge qcfC. It does hit just the active character. You can’t be hit out of it by the assist either.
Not sure if this was posted or not, probably was, but you can do 3C > 9~A > A > B > B > C (whiff) > 63214C which resets for unscaled damage. Shame it doesn’t unscale Baroque, but depending on your percentage it might be better to combo anyway. Pretty lethal though, he can do like 60% - 70% of life with only 10% Baroque…
So like. Alex’s Down charge stomp (B) can crossup waking up opponents that getup in netural or roll away from Alex xD
I haven’t tried this on them rolling inwards.
Tested against Casshern =P
I actually made that discover yesterday myself. After playing SFIV a lot, I’m trying to apply things I learn universally, so, now that Abel has me hooked on doing cross-ups, I decided that the stomp might do it, sure enough, it works, my test was on Roll.
Semi-useful/useless, kinda neat:
Only works when you have a partner and is not being sent out as an assist.
Super jump, j.C, 236P
Super jump, aerial backdash, j.C, 236P
j.C is an amazing move, more on this later.
for now just don’t camp alex

What characters work with Alex? I am going to get TVC when it hits US so I need to know some of the basic teams with the characters I would like to use. Thanks in advance.
I’m using him with Casshern atm. Alex got a good assist, but i would say he’s not a point character. Though they did slightly from what I’ve noticed improve him in the western version.
Yeah it seems that Yatterman/Alex works well.
The Yatterman assists seems to be very good with Alex.
Holy crap, Alex’s charge 46C does wallbounce!? That’s damn sexy. . .I’m pretty sure that wasn’t in the Japanese version. Any ideas for reliable and/or high damage output follow up?
Here’s some stuff I found while playing with UAS Alex:
A, B, 2B, 2C, C Air Stampede
C, 2C, C Air Knee Smash
C, Launcher, A, A, B, B, C Air Knee Smash
I’ve been doing A, B, c.B, c.C, C Elbow Rush, wait for bounce, B, Launcher, sjc, A, B, B, Power Bomb. About 20,000b damage, and you don’t have to be AT the corner, just near it.
A baroque alternative:
c.A,c.B, Baroque, c.B, c.C, C Elbow Rush, wait for bounce, B, Launcher, sjc, A, B, C, Power Bomb. At 20% red health, this does a little over 40,000b.
Edit: This has CRAZY range if you dash after the elbow rush to meet them at the corner.
Or just baroque to get something you normally could not. 20% is unrealistic for alex, and our training mode standard is 10%.
2a 2b 2c xx C Elbow, wait, B elbow xx BAROQUE, 3c, j.a j.b j.b j.c xx Powerbomb
Works full screen.
I’ve actually been doing a combo a lot like that, Keits. It’s mind numbing how much damage it does!
