Hi Justin! I'm a huge fan! Watching you helped me get into fighting games and I love them! I'm twenty two now but you got me into fighting games around 2007, I would watch more than play but now I play and have gotten strong! I would love to see you break down Karin gameplay and explain why you do the things you do, or which trigger is best with which matchup. Nonetheless, thank you for helping my life by being you! It means the world!
I honestly cant seem to beat any alex players. I play Ryu and they have an answer for everything I do. Jump and I get anti aired into special, he outranges my footsies, always manages to grab or punch me out of wakeup and dashes through or jumps my fireballs. Any tips?
alex main here, try throwing less fireballs since it gives alex a chance to catch you, whiff punish his footsies, they are long which means they have long recovery making it easier than usual to whiff punish, on wake up I think you just lack general knowledge, watch a youtube video since it's very important, but in short, in most cases if you quick rise or back roll alex can't do much to threaten you. jump on wake up to avoid command grab and grabs, and delay grab on wake up to prevent grabs or meaty's
Glad he got buffed, And you can finally execute longer combo strings. I think most low tiers should have some of these minor buffs, Mandatory. That way, matches could be more on a leveled playing field.
Alex character is a op if you know the basics somewhere in the Philippines there is an alex player who won the championship such a beast in street fighter 3rd strike his name is aka red ribbon army such a beast
bottom 5 meh playble yes still can win sure some matches going be struggle just need one hit confirm scare them grab forward lol swing yeah got to get 50 50 guess still that damage cheap i haven,t run into any alex for awhile what up alex players where are you ?
Street Fighter 5 reminds me of Street Fighter X Tekken because Street Fighter X Tekken was a rushed game and it got patched. Same goes for Street Fighter 5. It was rushed and it got patched.
But that is only because newbies have no idea what is what and just press on everything while a seasoned player is so into the mindset of other seasoned players that he might be caught out of surprise. We call it beginners luck because at the same time the seasoned player does not want to go all out straight on.
Ed is terrible. I wish He and his stupid Neo Shadaloo will not come back in SF6 I don't find the character gameplay wise interesting even his background story is extremely boring
He can zone Solid Anti Aerial Attacks All rounder and people claim they are good using a character that has all the tools xD I complete agree with you. all they do is spam sonicboom or sonic cross (ex) and crouch wait for you to come over and wait for you to jump so that they can do that boring somersault kick. not the manliest thing to do in a fight if you just wait and zone it's cheap and lazy. Alex is not cheap. He's a low tier character that has lots of disadvantages. Like Sakura and Juri. So I don't think Alex is cheap.
0:07 is the most next level glasses push up yet.
He tried to be sneaky huh
Like ole cat dude from One Piece
"he woke up with stand fierce , what kind of nutty shit is that . He's a Super Diamond too ???" 😂😂😂
Maybe Alex is cheap, but is doesnt matter when there are so many Cheap-er characters lol
Your lack of forward HP is disturbing
20 a round minimum
I like Alex because he is from NYC.
Justin this is wat I want Alex play but other ppl want there fav characters so idk but good vid

Love the vid! That command grab counter needs to be in the game next patch, b/c I would be SO salty if I heard a ding every time I got hit with it!
I don't get where people say Alex sucks one hit confirm into a whole chain of damage but that's just me
Envolve
Damage is not his weakness. His defense, ability to get a hit, and staying in after said hit are.
And pre season 4 he got zero oki. I'm interested in what people do with him this season.
His wake up options are so terrible
Thats the buffs. Combos were impossible before.
Is Rashid cheap? Have you tried using him before? Thanks
I think he's pretty cheap, he can do a lot of safe pressure even from mid/full screen
Hell yes
I’ve replaced everyday handshakes with F+HP lariats. It’s a real game-changer.
join the ZEKU NATION
DemonDan is gonna have a field day.
Thanks for making another video! Would you possibly do Guile, Kolin, or Nash next?

Were you talking while playing or commentating on the recording?
AdversaryOne he does post commentary so it's after he's recorded
Definitely commentating on the recording, but he did it in a weird way where someone who's playing live would talk.
That's the safety net move. XD

LOL "alex nation ... be proud.... your character is still probably ..................bottom 5. " fucking dead lmao
Justin are you playing on pc or PS4? Stick or what’s your controller you are using? Nice vid!
I believe he uses a stick.
Yes, yes he is. His damage is high, man.
I noticed you have little fighter wallpaper lol are there some new updates on the game ?
Can anyone plz tell me how to fight M.Bison offline give me top three characters that do well against him , i'll learn one of them , Thank you.
I think anyone with an armor move because they can use it to absorb/counter his non-stop pressure buttons. Ex: Zangief V-Skill into SPD.
Look up characters ProblemX picks Birdie for.
@@deesix3504 thank you .
@@budafuka ok
Akuma Karin Rashid Gief birdie maybe Cammy too
Secret God tier level character
I wish someone could really take Alex to the top top of competition!
Gunfight might have a chance with the s4 buffs
Nate Zowak I don’t know. He plays too safe with Alex.
@@oddwayne that's true but faster high tier characters like Akuma and Guile can still easily punish Alex if he's too aggressive
Wayne Yu so he needs to play stupid and nutty? Wtf
@@oddwayne no he takes crazy risk before the buffs
Would love to see you play Juri next
Jeez, Alex is huge now. Not nearly as huge as Abigail, but still.
hes always been huge
his legs during idle pose still look
weird tho :
Alex character is a op if you know the basics somewhere in the Philippines there is an alex player who won the championship such a beast in street fighter 3rd strike his name is aka red ribbon army such a beast
Alex is the best and my Main but he need some speed
bottom 5 meh playble yes still can win sure some matches going be struggle just need one hit confirm scare them grab forward lol swing yeah got to get 50 50 guess still that damage cheap i haven,t run into any alex for awhile what up alex players where are you ?
I only play alex thanks i realized i dont command throw on all my opportunities
Street Fighter 5 reminds me of Street Fighter X Tekken because Street Fighter X Tekken was a rushed game and it got patched. Same goes for Street Fighter 5. It was rushed and it got patched.
the difference is that sfxt died before people noticed it was fixed
@@zero28ism SFXT is not dead. The online server still works and online players still play online online on it.
@No U I dare you to get a copy of SFXT for the PS3, Steam PC or Xbox 360 and test out the game's online server. SFXT is NOT DEAD.
@@TheRealDustinNunn you have to accept the game death bro,just press f
@@educn6830 If SFXT is "Dead", then how come there are online matches of the game being uploaded to UA-cam? Explain that!
Online Alex kills me 😓
Omg I did fight you in ranked I saw you playing urien and I did not think it was you
im trying to get better at sf5 can anyone tell me if theres a trick to how ppl move so fast i play with controller btw
Adderall. Lots and lots of adderall
@@sufferingmabinogi3945 whats an adderall?
I smell Ed in your future Mr. Wonggg
Why doesn’t Justin wing fucking age lol he’s been a pro sense I was in middle school lol
Play Ken next please.
It isn't the characters that are cheap in SFV. It is the game and the fact that a total newbie can swindle a win from a well seasoned player.
But that is only because newbies have no idea what is what and just press on everything while a seasoned player is so into the mindset of other seasoned players that he might be caught out of surprise. We call it beginners luck because at the same time the seasoned player does not want to go all out straight on.
Could be said for any fighting game really, with maybe a few exceptions. Not exclusive to sfv. Same way "low tier" can still beat "high tier".
No Sofoooooooo😔
Kingston Green aaaayyeee I remember losing worse than that lol
@@SofoSama Online spamming is the bane of tech based play lol
@@SofoSama was just about to @ this lol keep reppin for the zekuarmy!
I preffer 3rd Strike Alex than this travesty, this version of Alex is too scrubby friendly.
Alex in sf3 is not that good either
Do a Ryu please!
Justin Wong on some Zeku please!!!
yeet
Falke next
I don't think She's cheap
Play Nash please
As a Dhalsim player, Alex is one of my hardest matchups. He is so cheap!
chad connolly all you gotta do is hit normals from full screen and watch out for ex elbow to get it. If Alex gets in, it’s hard for sim
@@oddwayne Crouching Fierce trades in Alex's favor against all of Sim's limbs.
Dhalsim is the definition of Cheap
I remember FChamp saying Alex is a bad matchup for Dhalsim.
Play Laura please
lol u funny
I disliked because im an alex main. Fight me
I main Alex and Sakura.
and Yes Alex is not cheap.
I find Guile, G and Akuma cheap to be honest.
Those characters is heavily favored by capcom.
Alex is only better than ed
Ed is terrible. I wish He and his stupid Neo Shadaloo will not come back in SF6
I don't find the character gameplay wise interesting
even his background story is extremely boring
Nah Guile is the cheapest imo
He can zone
Solid Anti Aerial Attacks
All rounder
and people claim they are good using a character that has all the tools xD
I complete agree with you. all they do is spam sonicboom or sonic cross (ex)
and crouch wait for you to come over and wait for you to jump so that they can do that boring somersault kick.
not the manliest thing to do in a fight if you just wait and zone it's cheap and lazy.
Alex is not cheap. He's a low tier character that has lots of disadvantages.
Like Sakura and Juri. So I don't think Alex is cheap.
