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.

The next attack Alex manages to land will result in a 'Hard Hit' (adds Counter-Hit properties but gives +5F advantage instead of the usual +2F; Scales as 1 hit) Adds +3 advantage insead of +5 on a Crush Counter Hard Hit 'Crush Counters' are not subject to a standard 2-hit scaling This added Counter-Hit bonus goes away if a move is blocked by the opponent (does NOT go away if hit during startup of Alex's attack) This V-Skill buff does not go away if Alex is knocked down Alex is NOT in a Counter-Hit state during this power-up This power-up builds 50 V-Meter by itself

The next special attack (Flash Chop, Elbow Slash, Air Stampede, or Head Crush) that Alex uses will be special cancelable on hit or block into: Flash Chop, Elbow Slash, Air Stampede, or Knee Smash (but not the same move into itself) Regular Special Attacks can cancel into any version, but EX Special Attacks can only cancel into another EX Special Attack This special cancel property goes away if the next special attack (Elbow Slash, Air Stampede, or Flash Chop) that connects on hit or block is not canceled into (the exception being that a Head Crush attempt whiffs the V-Skill 2 buff fades away) This V-Skill buff does not go away if Alex is knocked down Alex is NOT in a Counter-Hit state during this power-up The special that Alex cancels into grants him both V-Meter and EX meter

See Sledge Hammer (Parry) for more details 2F faster startup (18F) and 1F faster (1-57F) Parry window when canceled into Recovers 22F faster (29f) on Whiff but ONLY if Alex releases Sledge Hammer while the opponent is NOT above or below him No collision boxes after active frames end (to pass through the opponent) The Sledge Hammer follow-up move is always -12 on block (despite it showing -8 in game), even if released 1 frame before it's fully charged Cancelable into all Specials and Super on a successful parry or after a Sledge Hammer hit Juggle Limit / Increase / Start: 10 / 1 / 1

This move refers to successful parry if not canceled into the Sledge Hammer follow-up Upon successful parry, gains 200 V-Meter (11.7% of V-Timer) 1F startup if canceled into from a prior successful parry Release buttons during hitstop of parry (18F hitstop) to stop the Sledge Hammer Attack follow-up from coming out 5F of recovery on a successful parry (if not canceled into the Sledge Hammer follow-up) When a parry is successful, the game freezes momentarily during which time Alex is briefly fully invincible for 1 frame and then Projectile invincible for 15 frames (after 18 freeze frames, both characters start moving again) You can calculate your frame advantage on a successful parry (f you don't cancel out of it) by adding up the remaining Active + Recovery frames on the opponent's move you just parried and subtract that with your parry recovery frames (5F recovery) - (Example: Parrying first active frame of Akuma's 2MP; 2+12 frames (14) frames left to play out for Akuma -> 14-5 = +9 advantage for Alex after the Parry) Alex can also cancel a successful parry into all his Specials, V-Trigger Specials, or Super on frames 10-20 of the parry which enbles Alex to start his Specials 8F before the opponent even gets out of the parry freeze frames (Example: If we use Akuma's 2MP again, it has 14 frames left to play out after it is parried -> 14+8 = 22 frames, which means that Alex can punish Akuma with up to a 22F start-up Special)
