Love the cameos in Alex's story mode (Hello, Patricia!).
The fact that he doesn't give a shit about being someone's lab rat, along with the fact that he wants to home to work on his car, is very much an thing he would say/do.

Man, feels too accurate. They NEED to fix that face.

I believe it does but I forgot to check, if I'm honest
I believe I saw in a different Alex video that it blocked a low hit.Doing Alex's "parry" is basically tapping his V-Trigger mode Clothesline (HP+HK) rather than holding it. Instead of unleashing the clothesline after the parry like the charged version, the tap version resets you back to neutral (and you regain a bit of V Gauge), from there you can do a different attack or another clothesline.
Timing depends on the move you're trying to parry, especially if it's a multi-hit move. It's only the startup (charging) frames I believe that have the guard point. Also I couldn't really do it on wakeup after a knockdown.
Couldn't really test if I can be grabbed out of it, I kinda need a second person with me to test it out
I think is a little hard than Ryu's parry but only a little.
It couldn't have been worse than little girl Alex from 2nd Impact

Is this real? No mods?
I doubt parrying stuff that's already unsafe on block is going to worry capcom.

No mods. Just an Alex alt outfit along with the work of someone who has never seen a human head or face.
This might be the best image I have ever seen. Is there ANY alt where Ken has normal hair and not the banana hair or the weird short hair?

So does Alex not rip his shirt off in his intro?

Battle lounges are too good now. Screw the rest, doing first to 5 sets is the best.
That would be a no. You can parry certain things on reaction or by telegraphing like in the video but the recovery from V-Trigger activation won't let you
Which is fair really, means it can't be abused, I don't know if Capcom intended us to use the guard point on his clothesline like a parry like this.

I'm disappointed that Alex's alts are not his SFIII look or his wrestling trunks. Missed opportunity.
Taunt animation from SF3. Causes next hit to be a counter hit and extra damage, wears off if you're hit like R.Mika's.

Seems to be. I love using v-trigger on Ryu in order to give me time to process someones quick offensive move (for example an EX), and it does give you a reliable amount of time to plan a parry / punish scenario.
He does his 3rd Strike taunt where he stretched one of his arms. Apparently the next hit he does is supposed to be like a Hard counter hit in terms of damage, but I didn't really notice (though I wasn't testing it out to be fair).
His V-Trigger mode, as far as I tested, only grants you use of the clothesline, it doesn't give you extra speed/damage/hits.

Wow this looks very good.
Yeah, just pay people to make costumes like Dota and lol.
Thanks. Do we know if the effect stays after a throw/command grab?

Sweet. Don't play on PC though, but nice for those that can use it.
I'm still just waiting for Capcom to make good on their claim that they're gonna provide some sexy "Hot Ryu" style alts for the other guys. This first batch doesn't really indicate that at all.
actually he looks much better without that banana hair

Looks great but god is Alex's proportions are so out of whack. Wth Capcom... I fear for Urien frankly...

Seriously, they need to open the Steam Workshop for Street Fighter V.

Are you talking about that mod because Capcom didn't make that model.

The mod didn't make any modifications to Alex's weird proportioned body. Alex looks like a Hulk it looks weird and unnatural.『Inaba Resident』;199576608 said:
I've been fine with most of the default skins so far, but I'll definitely try this mod out.
And since I got the season pass, I hope someone makes a burlap sack mod for his "Extraordinary" one, because that's all I can see.
EDIT:
I wish they went with this approach rather than trying to make some hairdos look like real hair.
thats kinda bad tho

I'm asking if you're referring to he model used in the mod. It was made from scratch and used in an older mod as Alex over Abel in SF4. Hes essentially porting it to SFV
Looks more Anglo, I kinda like it.
