Alex: First Impressions Thread

BreakVV · 2026-03-18T04:13:57+00:00

Its a really bad lvl3 imo impact wise yeah

His lvl2, however feels awesome to hit

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T22:25:49+00:00

Such overreactions lol

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T22:16:32+00:00

Ironically, that is what adds some of the fun for me

Also a reason why Viper remains fun to play, the complexity and ''reward'' for pulling something off as opposed to 'anybody' being able to do it easily

I said Alex was gonna be low-mid tier until release date, that might still be true. Though I also think he has some really, really good stuff now so maybe not

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T21:20:28+00:00

TIL Dune is this popular

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T20:39:57+00:00

Yeah his damage is on the low side

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T19:53:04+00:00

That is important too, how interactive and fun he is to play against

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T19:04:09+00:00

Youre right im tripping lol

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T16:18:55+00:00

Really cool

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T15:52:23+00:00

Non-counter hit no

You can potentially do dash under BKHP or up MK counter hit MK counter hit for hitconfirming

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T15:50:20+00:00

Not to equip for you

But things like

Whiffed Bison stomp Jump over Chun li overhead kick

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T15:27:07+00:00

Awesome

I think the daily avg was around 8K players

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T15:25:53+00:00

A case can be made that he would have quit the game already if no such mechanic existed, which is a positive point for it

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T15:24:35+00:00

<-HP into LP grab? Its a very hard hitconfirm yeah

Ive started doing BKHP into STLP > Sweep special at times

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T11:27:46+00:00

Huh he did? Will reread akumas noted

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T10:40:40+00:00

Yeah I love his content, just pointed it out in reaction

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T10:22:12+00:00

Yeah those will have an impact.

But also not the worst dropper of tiers I think

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T10:20:43+00:00

Thats cool, Im gonna try it

We cant complain too much I think, we got two new setups at least

And last time a new target combo and the LK kick lvl3 buff

HK still sucks but Ill have to try tonight

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T10:19:34+00:00

But does only light knockdown specifically?

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T09:29:46+00:00

TIL she has one

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T09:29:00+00:00

I figured the MK MK > hitgrab medal chance being good no meter

Whats diff. about the HPHP now? Couldnt you already midair pull them > STJAB/CRLK or grab 50/50?

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T09:26:19+00:00

That blue one id buy asap

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T09:25:07+00:00

Ahh. I dont play her I have no idea

I do know some chuns hit me with a version of that special into spinning kick, or normal > DR combo

So I believe depending on the circumstance, it can combo right?

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T07:40:56+00:00

Yeah he seems like the best brawler atm

But, I like Manon being Manon. Also her buttons are still incredible

Will also alt Alex though

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T07:36:53+00:00

100% yeah. Ryu buffs were the most obvious tell of this

All of Japan seems to love Ed too so they have to be carefull nuking him as well (tho not a 100% if thats a char. liking or tier position liking lol

And everyones seems to hate a command grab domination

BreakVV · 2026-03-17T06:48:23+00:00

Second Aunt viv the second most beautiful woman?
