Misc.

vs. Alex
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Balanced	Same Char	Same Char	Same Char
Notes: No really, it's the same Char

vs. Batsu Ichimonji
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Balanced	Projectiles, explosive damage, mobility	Blockstrings kinda wack, cannot mix up like Alex can	Dive Kick, Guts bullet, Tardy Counter
Notes: Batsu is just a protoRyu with better combos, if he can space out Alex and capitalize on every hit he can take the match easily, but the moment Alex spots a weakness Batsu is screwed. However, Batsu comes out slightly better as it's harder to make mistakes with him, and when Alex does drop the ball, Batsu will definitely have him near dead.

vs. Chun-Li
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Balanced	Space Control, Mobility	Damage	Legs, Kikoken
Notes: Chun is one of the few characters to keep Alex out of grab range easily, lightning legs is straight kryptonite and she can kinda zone with kikoken. However, where Alex can murder her in 3 hits it takes about 20 for her, meaning that while she has the means to weather the storm, the storm will eventually come in when Alex gets that hit in.

vs. Frank West
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Balanced	Everything	bad normals	j.2C, 2C, Zombie summon, zombie spree, Real Megabuster, dodge
Notes: Frank in general is a weird character, and just like Alex when he gets that hit in you're gonna feel it. He manages to outclass Alex in mixups but of course that comes with the higher brain power Frank needs in general. He can get out of trouble with his dodge, cover up space by pulling out a zombie, and Alex has very little answer to j.2C which is also safe by Rolling. As long as Frank is on the move, the match is in his favor as Alex has to chase him down, a few well placed traps and Frank is good to go. Alex just has to figure out how to close the gap and keep it closed.

vs. Kaijin No Soki
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Balanced	Long pokes, blockstrings, explosive damage, counter	no mixups, can get grabbed out of armor, slow normals	Counter
Notes: Soki is the resident big slow guy, which means that for once Alex has an advantage on mobility. Unlike the rest of the cast, Soki can't really do armored move mixups as A Power Bomb will snatch him right out. However, he does have counter which means any stray Elbow Slash or j.C from Alex is easy prey for an Issen. Oni mode is also even more useless as Alex will hyper bomb the moment a 6C comes out. The only reason this match isn't unfavorable is because when Soki DOES get that hit it's gonna hurt.

vs. Megaman Volnutt
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Unfavorable	Zoning, Shield, like...everything	Poor damage and health	Gun Arm, Shield Arm
Notes: Volnutt is a pretty harsh matchup, when gun arm comes out, Alex has to bait our the 3B shots and get in, and if he does get in, Shield arm beats basically all options so he has to bait up close anyway. Even barring that, both of Volnutt's lvl 1 supers are insanely good and can panic button him out of mixups. It's not unwinnable, Alex can easily make it work, but man.....

vs. Morrigan Aensland
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Unfavorable	Mobility, Fireball, also has a command grab	damage output, weak combo routes	Soul Fist, Darkness Illusion
Notes: Morrigan is not a fun one for Alex, at long range, she can toss out fireballs left and right, so you have that to deal with. When she's up close, you have to deal with air dash mixups, fake lows, fake highs, and a command grab here and there....she's basically a faster alex now that I think of it. Her only real weakness thankfully is that when she does get to hit you....it's not that big a deal. If she has less than 30% baroque and under 3 bars just take the hit. If she does have 3 bars...then, Darkness illusion is coming and that's a chunk of health.

vs. Roll
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Favorable	Annoying, damage boost, good runaway, healing, the puddle	low health	healing, roll swing, roll puddle
Notes: Roll is notable for not having small body privilege for Alex, there are very few routes that do not work on her, you can basically pretend she's a normal character, which is very odd. That being said, when she has the puddles she is one of the few characters to go toe to toe on damage. Tack on her ability to run away and heal and you have one annoying gremlin, but honestly that's about all she has on him.

vs. Ryu
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Balanced	Ryu	Ryu	hadouken, shoryu, j.c, 6B
Notes: Ryu has the hadoukens, the j.C and 6B, but that's really about it. If you know how to play Street Fighter than this becomes a standard Street Fighter match. Watch for whiffs, punish with slash elbow, poke him out, put your fundamentals to work. Ryu has to do the same, he can't "really" open you up unless your defense is just that bad. Despite Alex being the grappler Ryu does have some aggressive tick throws however.

vs. Saki Omokane
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Unfavorable	Some of the best zoning in the game	Getting suffocated	everything honestly
Notes: This might be one of the worst non giant matchups in the game. Saki pretty much cooks Alex easily. B Ammo shuts down nearly every option, super jump j.C is near impossible to chase. Ending a blockstring with positron laser puts alex out of poking range and he has to YOLO Elbow slash to get any momentum. This thankfully isn't a straight 10-0, if Alex does get in she's gonna feel it, a few bad bursts and Saki is pretty much helpless, but the road to getting there is a 80 degree incline.

vs. Viewtiful Joe
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Unfavorable	Can stay out of Alex range near indefinitely, mobility	uhhh	Red Hot Kick, Voomerang, 2C
Notes: Joe is a slightly more manageable Saki, he can fly across the screen and stay out of Alex's range. Much like the rest of this page, Alex's gameplan is just to get in there which is easier said than done. Joe can pester with Voomerangs, set traps with bombs, and a single hit will more than likely end with Slow and Zoom. Block the Red Hot Kick, unleash a slash elbow and kinda hope for the best

vs. Zero
Status	Strengths	Weaknesses	Moves to Watch Out For
Unfavorable	Zero	lmao, I guess health	Zero Buster, Dive Kick
Notes: It's zero, I don't even have to put anything here, the dude outclasses Alex pretty much everywhere, as with the other unfavorable matchups, you have to pick your spot, YOLO slash elbow and pray to whoever you look up to. Zero can shut down nearly every approach with Zero Buster, lock down with sugenmu, or just push you away with Rekkoha. That is if he isn't mixing you up with Buster loops. It's still not a 10-0, his low health means Alex is going to capitalize on the hit if Zero doesn't burst, but man....when Alex has a bad matchup it gets BAD
