Strategies

Overview

Alex is a low tier character, who is afflicted with being the other half of Hugo, in that he's fast, but his grabs aren't particularly good. His EX Techniques are very useful, as they make his regularly unsafe moves safe(ish).

Basics

Super Art Selection

Use Super Art: SA2 (Boomerang Raid). Why? Alex's EX moves make him a much better character, and SA2 has the most meter to store EX moves. SA2 is also the easiest super art to combo into. Why not SA1? Because it has a 3 frame start up, that's why. The opponent can just jump out of it if it's not properly set up. The only time that it is ever guaranteed is after a MP or HP Flash Chop. Why not SA3? Because the Stun Gun trap is escapable. It's not easy, but its possible.

The other two supers tend to rely on gimmicks to land. As we all know, gimmicks only work once on a competent opponent, if at all.

  • SA1
    • Cannot be Comboed Into
    • 3 Frame Start Up
    • Large Damage
      • Use on: Akuma(ish) Akuma's low stamina means that this super can really frighten an offensive player.
  • SA2
    • Large capacity for EX Techniques
    • Easier to Combo into
      • Use on: All
  • SA3
    • Trap is Escapable
    • Small capacity for EX Techniques
    • Large Stun
      • Use on: N/A

Kara-Techniques

Throw
Alex's prime kara-throw normal is F HP. (F HP x Throw)

Template:KaraThrow

Zoning

Mixups

Strong high section techniques include; HP and Meaty UOH x SA2. Meaty Close MK x HK Air Stomp and Meaty Close MK x MK Air Stomp are also very useful tools as the former will actually cross up the opponent giving you at least a 50/50 game going. Regarding Alex's low mix-ups c.LK x c.MK can be very helpful in addition to his sweep: c.HK. Utilize your c.Lk x c.MK freely, and the sweep more sparingly.

As is the way with all the characters in the game, a throw as an additional "3rd Option" for your mix-up in very helpful. Especially in Alex's case, given his two command throws. Power Bombing, and tick Power Bombing are dangerous techniques to be hit by, but use them sparingly, they have not the strength of Hugo's and can be defended against more easily.

Your final tool that you can use is Meaty Close MK x MK DDT. This can be very helpful if you use it correctly. Crouching up close before executing the meaty technique can give the impression you're going to prepare an Air Stomp OR a low move. If you're lucky, they'll block the wrong way pre-empting your cross-up air stomp/try to parry low/get the timing wrong on a high parry. If you're unlucky, they'll block. This kind of reinforcing agent (coupled with Close MK's relative safety) can be a great help to you in trying to land power bombs.

Additional Notes

  • Personal Action: Alex's damage done on the next attack increases. Holding Fierce and Roundhouse keeps this action going. If Alex rotates his arm 7 times, the damage increase is maxed out. This can be done in multiple taunts.
