{{SFVCharacterSummary|Alex|
Bio
|
Alex is a character of highs and lows. In some matches and matchups Alex will get thrown into the corner and bullied to death due to his weak defensive options, while other games you will perfect your opponent in 15 seconds as you make all the right reads and murder them while feeling like the smartest person to ever play Street Fighter. While he has a command grab and the slower walk speed that makes him seem like a grappler, he is more of a brawler type focusing on poking away at the opponent with his longer ranged pokes until they get frustrated and make a mistake giving Alex an opening, at which point he must capitalize as he often won't get another chance.Playing Alex required patiences, both in looking for an opening and being forced to deal with relentless pressure and overwhelming odds much of the time. However there are few feelings in SFV as wonderful as barely eeking out a win as Alex from managing to make 3-4 correct reads in a row or landing an amazing parry into EX Power Bomb. Alex is also a low-execution character, with most of his combos being only 2-3 hits long and having few complicated setups or oki situations. If you want to have fun and don't care about only winning, Alex isn't a bad choice.

{{MoveData
A strike V-Reversal that knocks the opponent down on hit.
|image=SFV_Alex_236HP.png
|
|name=HP Flash Chop
Alex's V-Skill is Overhaul, which causes his next attack to be a {{counter}} hit. He builds a small amount of V-Gauge on activation, and more when a move hits with it. If the opponent blocks an attack or Alex takes damage he loses the bonus. Due to the long startup it is difficult to use outside of in stun combos or at full screen. Note that when Alex gets a crush {{counter}} from this, it is NOT affected by the Season 3 Crush Counter changes that have them scale by two hits; it only counts as 1 allowing him to do big damage. While not as useful as some other V-Skills, Alex does get stuns fairly often and this helps him get the most out of them, and makes his neutral that much scarier when he does manage to use it outside of stun situations.

* HOW TO YAMI DROP: If the Power Drop / Choke Sleeper (during V-Trigger 2) follow-up cancel is executed on the latter 2 frames of the cancel window (frames 39-40) then the command grab will connect even after canceling into it from block
* 3F reversals (like 3F jabs) will counter-hit Alex if he cancels into Power Drop / Choke Sleeper (during V-Trigger 2) on the last frame (frame 40) - so the cancel has to be frame perfect (frame 39) to beat 3F reversals

As of season 4, you no longer lose the buff by taking damage, and instead of a {{counter}} hit, you get a special effect called a hard hit, which makes your moves +5 as opposed to +2. You can {{cancel}} into it from EX stomp, EX elbow, and EX chop.
=====<font style="visibility:hidden; float:right">EX Flash Chop</font>=====

{{MoveData
Overchain is another buff V-Skill that allows Alex to {{cancel}} two special moves into each other. The animation is takes the same amount of time and can be cancelled from the same moves. The only special moves that you can't {{cancel}} into or out of are Headbutt and Power Bomb. If you use a special without cancelling into another one, then you lose the buff, so you might as well use it whenever you use a special. Unlike VS1, you lose the buff if you get hit, limiting it's use. It's application is arguably better than VS1, as you can {{throw}} out unsafe specials and make them safe by simply using a safe one after. If you use an EX move, then you can only {{cancel}} into another EX move, so make sure you spend your meter wisely, as the damage you get from it is great but they're all unsafe on block.

|name=EX Flash Chop
Alex's VT1, Rage Shift, is a two bar V-Trigger that gives Alex access to a 1f parry and a new special move, Sledge Hammer. By pressing HP+HK Alex will begin charging Sledge Hammer. When Alex is hit by any non {{throw}} attack, {{high}} or low, he parries it quickly recovering after. By tapping HP+HK after the first parried attack he can parry multiple attacks one after another, or by continuing to hold it Alex will {{cancel}} into Sledge Hammer. Note that after a successful parry, Alex builds back a small amount of V-Gauge. Alex can also {{cancel}} any of his normals into Sledge Hammer; MP, HP, f+HP, and HK all combo into it while crMP and crHP combo on {{counter}} hit. On hit Sledge Hammer goes through the opponent and can be canceled into Back Drop or EX Back Drop for damage at the cost of oki, MP Flash Chop to be +3 next to the opponent forcing them to guess between MP and Power Bomb, or EX Flash Chop. If Sledge Hammer is fully charge, on block it will guard break which can be canceled into Back Drop for a small amount of damage, and on hit it will leave you at +10 allowing Alex to link into lariat (f+HP) for bigger damage. A non-charged version on block is -8 however and punishable, and once Alex starts charging Sledge Hammer there is no way to {{cancel}} it forcing the Alex player to guess between the opponent trying to jump out of its way or them continuing to block. Because of its big damage potential and defense gain this is the best V-Trigger in almost any circumstances.

Alex's VT2 is a two bar V-Trigger called Rage Shift, which gives Alex access to two new special moves. By pressing HP+HK again Alex performs a flying DDT, a short ranged grab that causes Alex to jump forward and grab the opponent. It only works on standing opponents, whiffing if they are crouching or airborne. He can {{cancel}} into this from specials, crMP, and crMK on hit for a combo making his crMK much scarier. On hit it leaves the opponent close enough to hit with a lariat afterwards, however due to distance a Power Bomb will usually whiff. A DDT on activation takes about 1/4 of the V-Gauge, and on hit takes another 1/4 meaning you can land at most 2 DDTs. The other special it gives Alex access to it Choke Sleeper, which is a grab done after a Flash Chop by pressing HP+HK. Alex spins the opponent around choking them causing them to fall to the ground, leaving Alex is prime position for oki along with causing a decent amount of damage and stun. As with DDT this takes 1/2 the V-Gauge on activation, meaning in total you get 2 V-Trigger specials before the gauge runs out. On hit Choke Sleeper leaves Alex closer than DDT does and slightly more damage overall in most combos, so this is the go-to ender if you have a choice. While the additional oki and scarier crMK is nice, only being able to use it twice and losing the defensive bonus VT1 offers makes this difficult to recommend in most matchups.

Introduction

About Alex

Alex is a character of highs and lows. In some matches and matchups Alex will get thrown into the corner and bullied to death due to his weak defensive options, while other games you will perfect your opponent in 15 seconds as you make all the right reads and murder them while feeling like the smartest person to ever play Street Fighter. While he has a command grab and the slower walk speed that makes him seem like a grappler, he is more of a brawler type focusing on poking away at the opponent with his longer ranged pokes until they get frustrated and make a mistake giving Alex an opening, at which point he must capitalize as he often won't get another chance.Playing Alex required patiences, both in looking for an opening and being forced to deal with relentless pressure and overwhelming odds much of the time. However there are few feelings in SFV as wonderful as barely eeking out a win as Alex from managing to make 3-4 correct reads in a row or landing an amazing parry into EX Power Bomb. Alex is also a low-execution character, with most of his combos being only 2-3 hits long and having few complicated setups or oki situations. If you want to have fun and don't care about only winning, Alex isn't a bad choice.

SFV Frame Data Glossary
Active

How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for.

Attack

Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).

Cancel options

Available cancel options.

  • "ch": Chain cancel, refer to description for options.
  • "sp": Special move.
  • "su": Critical art.
  • "vs[1/2]": V-Skill 1 or 2.
  • "vt[1/2]": V-Trigger 1 or 2 activation.
Confirm windows

Hit confirm windows written as Specials & CAs/Target Combos/V-Trigger. Notation may denote V-Skill only cancel windows in Specials.

  • Refers to the amount of time (in frames) you have to cancel into another move from the moment the attack connects with the opponent.
Crush Counter

Crush Counter hit advantage written as opponent state, frame advantage, and v-gauge gain on hit.

Damage

Attack damage on hit. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.

Hit/Block

These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. KD refers to knockdown on hit.

  • Note that generally, normal counter hits add an additional +2 to hit advantage in SFV.
Knockdown

Knockdown advantage against Normal, Quick Rise and Back Rise wake up options.

Recovery

How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.

Startup

How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or have a hit box. The last startup frame and the first active frame are the same frame, meaning all values are written as Startup + 1.

Stun

Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
