| | Welcome to mysterious mysteries of strange mystery, where we'll observe how jank and crazy this game is |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| Alex from ''Street Fighter III'' comes to ''Tatsunoko vs Capcom'' with a not-so-great rendition of Jazzy NYC. He’s the same grappler you expect, and notably, the only small character with a snapback. Lacking projectiles and a double jump, Alex struggles in certain matchups, but once he gets going, he can wipe out entire characters with ease.

| {{ProConTable
| |
| |pros=
| |
| * The only non-giant character with a snapback.
| |
| * Insane damage output, especially when boosted by Baroque—can wipe out most characters with just 20% Baroque.
| |
| * Benefits greatly from the VAR system, receiving both damage and meter boosts, plus a height damage boost.
| |
| * Decent anti-air options.
| |
| * Standing overhead that leads into multiple combo routes.
| |
| * Excellent giant killer.
| |
| | |
| |cons=
| |
| * Cannot double jump.
| |
| * A well-timed pushblock can ruin setups.
| |
| * Struggles against zoning despite the ability to nullify fireballs.
| |
| * Has only one super that is truly worthwhile.
| |
| * Limited ways to close the gap—opponents can often interrupt or stop his approach. Strong fundamentals and meter management are crucial.

As the rest of the game is frozen your opponent literally cannot block leading to unblockables |
