Biography

Alien is part of an invasive extraterrestrial species, The Xenomorphs, that are planning to colonize the realms they inhabit

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Varied: Each of Alien's Variations brings something new to the table that enhances its gameplan in their own way
  • Built-In Mixups: Alien has a bunch of Overhead-Low Mixups built into parts of their move set
  • Range Game: While not the fastest, Alien does sport some impresive size with some of its Normals
  • Strong Setplay: Alien's setplay is among the strongest in the game
  • Creativity: While it's not the most intuitive character, Alien allows out of the box thinking when it comes to its combos and gameplan
  • Unintuitive: Alien is not a very easy character to pick up for newer players
  • Seen better times: Alien has changed a lot since its release and now it's weaker than it once was, make sure to check if any old tech you find still holds up today
  • Meter Hungry: To pull off anything close to what Alien could do in earlier days, Alien will now need to spend a lot more meter than before
  • Inconsistent Damage: Alien's damage output can be all over the place, a lot of optimization is needed to pull off its strongest combos
