what other grappler should I try

USF4 Zangief

Please user I'm serious

Alex is probably the easiest character to play in SF3

Alex

Bonus points that he's also a true American and not a communist.

But what about V

Alex is in V

Thought you meant 3 because everyone says alex is trash in V

Until Haggar gets in SFV doesn't have any good grapplers.

Birdie will teach you fundamentals

Birdie is not a grappler
I don't know what he is but he doesn't feel like a grappler

He's got a command grab. Close enough for V.

Laura is fun.

He's got two but he still feels like some weird pseudo zoner

Hakan.

Haggar
fighting games are gay

A better game

Nevermind, I just discovered I can use c.hp into chain or bullhead, this shit is great

Alex player here,

I stick with him day in and day out, but DESU while he got some buffs, alot of people notice the nerfs more

You can still win with him, but the biggest complain is some of his spacing and for some reason they messed with cr. mp

It's literally his best button

The only thing is that with alex, you can't straight up go ham like other characters and his defense isn't great.

You're always on the defense, but once you find an opening you can gorilla mash like no other

He's not top tier like other characters, but has good tools. Def underutilized

Hakan is too "bad" for a shitter to use, Abel is the best entry level "grappler"

>tfw getting absolutely styled on in a mirror match

...

I hope he comes back, I'd sell my left nut for special intros too
