How do you feel about Alex?

opinions on how the character feels, plays, looks, and where about on the tiers do you think he is? I feel like a lot of the grapplers in this game need something more to their kit, its hard to do much of anything with them. Especially against rush down

modded version looks better.

I really wish this was the Alex we got, but I don't mind his new look.

On the other hand I love how they handled Guile. Cool new look and still making his classic one available.

holy shit that looks so much better

Dead game

Guile looks good in SFV. But fuck I hate his moves in this game. He's such a pain to play against.

Well hes the one true keep away character in a game where they didnt give the tools to handle it cuz they said they didnt want keep away in the game....

IMO that looks vomit inducing.

>they didn't give the tools to handle it

nigga you what

over half the v skills in the game are meant to nullify projectiles

Is that Leon's jacket?

>Not a fan of charge characters or grapplers
>All these charge characters to start out the DLC

Ibuki and Juri when?

No it belongs to Alex. He wore it in his endings.

How many charge and grapplers do we have now? It feels like most of the roster is that now. And they're going to go Balrog this month so another fucking charge character.

Mika, Alex, and Birdie have all they need to compete, I think. Mika has looping 50/50s and Birdie and Alex have actual buttons with reach. I don't know enough about Laura, but since no one plays her she sucks I guess. Only grappler who is bad is Gief.

Charge we have Guile, Fang and Bison in the majors with Chun and Necalli having some change moves, and grappler we have Alex, Gief, Laura and Birdie to a degree.

That's a good portion of the roster. They should've released Ibuki this month instead for some fresh characters. And because the roster needs more girls too.

But I guess I can live another month. And maybe Balrog's track will be as good as it was in SSF4.

ZR ALT FOR KARIN WHEN?

Do people play charge characters on pad? I want to learn Chun-Li but I simply can't do shit on a d-pad.

Looks bland 2bh, Alex in motion looks 100 times better

Also i hope they buff him he's fucking fun to play as and to play against

If Brolylegs can play Chun, you can play Chun. Pad or no. Believe in yourself, user. I believe in you.

Yes. Nuckledu uses a pad and he's one of the best Guile players.

But Brolylegs uses his face for some mad tech and the tongue is actually innervated really well with motoric nerve fibers. I'm going to attempt her again. It's a character I've always wanted to learn. One of the few match-ups in SFV that I actually.

What's that?
Playing a charge character... On my stream?!?!
Get that ass banned.

*actually enjoy

Nigga I can't be more pleased with Alex.
I'm actually getting winstreaks (8 was my best) after losing a lot.
I don't fucking care for Tiers but I feel he has a lot of tools (so I think he can't be that low).

This game is going so good for me:
-Main is Alex, always wanted to learn about him and couldn't get good in SFIII because no one to play with
-Love how Ryu looks and he is even more solid than Snake
-Love Gief but I want that green hand back
-Love Mika, always wanted a Gief for noobs with combos. Also those boobs
-Love Karin, she is fast and looks perfect
-I want to learn Chun but she is so fast

A few people lmao nash bisons vskills specifically deal with them....who ese

Ryu
Vega
Cammy
Mika

Next to gief. Lack of good anti-air will be a constant problem unless he receives buffs. Could use a buff on dash and c.lp as well.

Urien's fireball is command. He's hybrid.

Zangief, Rashid, Karin.
Also, I'd be shocked if Balrog DOESN'T have anti-fireball tech as a v-skill.

I'll be surprised if Balrog's v skill isn't turn punch.

Also Bison's inferno is also motion, but I'd still consider him charge.

Him feeling so shitty put the final nail in the coffin for me. Haven't bothered with SFV in ages

>>Tiers
>Next to gief

I am fine with the default look for Alex in SFV. However him not having the bomber jacket as any of the three costumes is a crime so that's the sole reason why I downloaded the mod.

this dude is playin off my brain

Him having no answer to Chun Li instant air legs literally makes him unplayable in a competitive environment.

And if that's not enough then all of his moves being unsafe, having no way to open people up, and just all around being completely garbage seals the deal.

is bison fun

Why is Karin so perfect?

She's a lady of class.

kinda
once people realize you don't have an overhead and they start to notice your tick grabs the match becomes an uphill battle

And best pantyhose covered legs.

...

Alex is a very fun character.
He's also kinda bad, he's got average life and stun but his non CH damage is kinda shitty. He gets no good oki off powerbombs or most knockdowns in general, his main pressure tool needs you to be point blank in order to not whiff and despite his huge stun output on individual attacks he has a hard time keeping the stun bar from depleting. No real reversal and 4f jab hurts his defense a lot. His overhead is kinda shitty too but that's not a huge deal.

Also DDT > Headbutt

I hate him. He plays exactly like birdy except his grabs are slower and he doesn't have a sweet soda projectile to give him more options. So disappointed.

Both Fang and Bison are mixed/hybrid

Guile is the games only true charge character, and we have no idea what balrog and Urien will be.

If you don't support his excellence than please refrain from his stream

>Play Birdie in beta
>Feels slow as shit but really dig it
>Eventually switch to FANG as game drops
>Alex comes out
>Now full time Alex player

>Try Birdie again for the hell of it
>Holy shit is this even the same game, even his slower moves feel faster

Wow..... He claims to have a business degree..... From where?

Why is he such a fuckhead?
