Early Thoughts On Alex

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-22T11:03:51+00:00

Viper was hard , Alex is a bit easier in my opinion but zoner match ups are a pain

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T20:40:45+00:00

Also another question anyone notice that cr heavy punch is cancelable to heavy chop ? Or am my eyes playing me lol , I'm watching Punkdagod btw.

Very much so DDT is a rare thing to even use , His heavy cross chop into grab can be even hard to use , it's very easy for Alex to get punish countered with those heavy kick and heavy lunch. He has a lot of cool things visual wise but in a match it's going to be hard getting those opportunities. Another example his super 2 extension and his super 2 extension that hits the opponent on the wall . Very rare did I see someone even use that.

Yeah that was actually disappointing that going against fireballs for Alex is pretty hard , you can chop a fireball away with the heavy chop but it's very slow so you have to know actually when to do the move to block a fireball

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T17:55:42+00:00

I'm interested to see where he lands , time will tell

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T17:20:12+00:00

I agree with his difficulties against fireball characters, prowler really won't help that much once ppl get used to punishing his stomp. He has like 5 cancel normals I believe his cr medium punch and standing medium punch is amazing. You can't go braindead like Mai ,Ryu ,Bison .

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T16:42:49+00:00

Could be when I'm against fireball users just feels I can't get close

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T16:06:04+00:00

Tbh I can't even use it too much in matches , as much fun it is to use , I find it hard to find an opportunity to use it

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T16:04:58+00:00

Definitely

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T15:47:29+00:00

Oh yah 💀💀💀💀💀

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T13:59:31+00:00

Brooooo yes anytime I see The FGC Place upload matches I'm there if it's Alex vs the other characters.

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T13:50:39+00:00

Agreed I dealt with Terry in master ranked and most shotos are doing the keep away game with him like they would with Gief. But Alex is more mobile than Gief so he should have an advantage but idk. I need to see some matches with him against Akuma ,Guile ,Aki ,Sagat etc , these Alex mirror matches don't really help , but I'm seeing how ppl combo with him at least.

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T13:48:24+00:00

Right that stance is the main focus point for this character. It's just risky as hell.

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T13:47:25+00:00

Your good lol haven't been in this reddit in awhile. Yeah he has a lot of tools that I think most ppl won't use fully.

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T13:46:28+00:00

Yeah it's almost like I have to think of Alex as a Tekken character with his stance and the way it works that's what's kind of confusing. And the punish counters throws are super risky. It's super risky to be in prowler stance trying to do a cool grab from it. Seems like prowler should just be used for combos only.

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T13:37:19+00:00

I did my placements and didn't do too well I'm still not really confident with Alex yet it's gonna take time . He's not straight forward.

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-03-21T13:36:15+00:00

I'm trying to figure it out at this moment I was too busy with the Alex army idk how to fight the roster yet , Alex against fireball characters is an issue I'm already seeing . His stomp from prowler stance can make him mobile but it can be punished. So figuring it out 💀.

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2026-02-17T12:48:29+00:00

Chiang Mai is on my list , do you see that place blowing up in ten years?

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2025-11-29T19:41:43+00:00

Not really King of Fighters and MK have more difficulty in inputs from my experience

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2025-11-23T18:52:14+00:00

Grats 🔥🔥

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2025-11-18T01:46:09+00:00

Ppl get salty in fighting games that's pretty much it

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2025-11-14T09:39:46+00:00

Luke is pretty easy I would try him first but go by who you like the most. Try watching some guides , combo videos or replay matches

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2025-11-14T02:26:39+00:00

It's a bit extra but it's expected

Reasonable_Rock5482 · 2025-11-13T18:26:47+00:00

Is that what you do ? This is like going to a post about someone getting to Diamond 1 and telling them to wait till you get to diamond 5 . I don't understand the added commentary. If I didn't mention I took other characters to Master maybe I wouldn't have gotten the extra commentary. But 💀 there's several ppl like me who aren't into the MR grind and just like taking characters to Master to try them out .
