Trivia and Random Glitches
-Hiding From View-
On stages with foreground elements, Alessi can conceal himself partially or even entirely while crouching. Here's an example of this in a really good set that you should watch anyway: https://youtu.be/1L45Qx3IUd0
-Most Stances-
Alessi is the only character with technically 5 stances. s.On and s.Off, Alessi Mode s.On and s.Off, and Child Mode. While he can't toggle between them freely, it's still a cool record.
-Standing Hurtbox on Wakeup-
After getting up from a knockdown, Alessi's hurtbox is forced to be standing even if he's inputting crouchblock. This allows some Okizeme routes to work on Alessi when it normally shouldn't. One notable example is in the 
Young Joseph matchup, where he can get a true Aja setup off a 2S Stand Crash even if you crouch.
-Infinite Baby Mode on 
Devo-
In the 
Devo matchup, you can get a taste of a manga accurate Alessi Mode. If you are facing both Devo and his doll, doing your standard metered BnB and using s.63214+C as your ender while still in custom combo makes Devo's child mode last until he dies. Make sure Devo is kept in hitstun and s.63214+C does not hit the doll, otherwise it wouldn't work.
The glitch only works if the doll does any action (move, jump or be mid-air, block an attack, get hit, attack, or even taunt) during the period of Devo transforming back. Crouching doesn't count as an action. Unfortunately, there are a few ways this glitch could break. If you stand crash his doll before the normal child transformation time runs out, Devo will revert back to his adult self. Devo pressing S during the initial s.63214+C would also prevent the glitch from happening. The glitch doesn't work on the other remote mode characters. Don't go for this in serious matches, although it is pretty fun against clueless players.
-Silver Chariot Requiem Hurtbox-
If 
Polnareff successfully does his s.63214+X super, Alessi's hurtbox upon sleeping becomes absolutely massive. Check it out in-game for yourself!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARXIqfUEepo&feature=youtu.be&t=441 - Matches against an Abdul, Alessi, and strangely Khan that showcases some incredible usage of s.63214C. A very good example of defensive Alessi play.
https://youtu.be/c5jFXZkjNKA - Earrape ass, flaky VCR ass recording of an actually great match! Featuring Tonkotsu vs SQ, a more offensive Alessi who displays multiple stand crash combos.
https://youtu.be/3eAPyONm7e8 - A great match pitting two children against each other. Watch for immpeccible child mode neutral, or for shits and giggles.
Random bits of documentation
