this alex played really well! Showing that Urien isn't triple S tier like some scrubs are complaining, gotta know the match up. Nemo still needs some time to master this character
my point is: many people are crying for nerfs already without learning the match-up. Sure, he is strong but that's ok? I don#t want to see him getting nerfed to shit tier in another patch because people complain.
This is what made the game boring. Nerfing because people wanna complain about mostly fair moves. Urien has terrible defense. He makes up for it with powerful offense. My advice, instead of complaining just learn how to block :)
Terrible defense??? What game are you playing?? Urien has an invincible reversal with his Ex headbutt, and his crouching fierce is a great anti-air on it's own right. And he can shoot projectiles upward has well as horizontally. He also has great reach on his normals which makes them great tools for whiff punishing AS WELL has being great tools for pressure. His standing fierce might very well be the very best whiff punish in the game. About the only weakness Urien has is no 3 frame normal. That's it.
Victor Arêas it was definitely ass in 3s, but depending on how they tweaked the properties it could be interesting in V - probably would go over lows and if the EX had armor like Gief's bear grab it could be fun to use (actually probably OP, it would have to have really poor damage and recovery, but just throwing something out there). I would like to see his v-reversal changed to his 3s back + hp headbutt grab with similar properties to Mika's stunner, personally.
@Austin K. I agree with you for the fact that most Urien players spams that move all the time, like prycethebeast said, it's fully invincible so at wakeup it's guaranteed if you want to stop your opponent offense, sometimes you can even use it after another move just to surprise your opponent too so it's no surprise that everyone uses it... BUT! this particuliar sequence in the corner though : " 3:41 " if you main ALEX you would know that after his air knee if you dash you are at +4 frames! That means Urien have to make a choice : if Alex use powerbomb he can only jump to avoid it BUT if Alex use a normal move it will beat urien's jump/moves, he can't strike back only defend. It's a gamble and NEMO (Urien) is very aware of that particuliar setup with Alex, the RIGHT choice in this situation was to use EX headbutt, since it would beat both Alex's powerbomb / normals, Gunfight (Alex) just outsmarted him. He just blocked, waited for something to happened, hopping to bait an EX headbutt, either way if NEMO just blocked too Gunfight just can powerbomb him as soon he realises it, and if he jumped, he can catch him with Cr HP to air knee and put him in the exact same situation other again... THAT'S STREET FIGHTER , NEMO have to condition Gunfight, to make him fear the EX headbutt coming out of nowhere, to neglect his powerbomb game, make him hesitate, Alex is a momentum based character, if he rushes you dow => No Escape, he got plenty of frame traps/Okizieme/setups you need to show the other player that he got to respect you... hence the EX headbutt.
guillaume pascal well fkn said.. I just got into sf5 .. it's not as complicated as I thought ... I guess I didn't give it a chance on its initial release and it bugged me that it was kinda slow .. but then again I was used to guilty gear speeds
this alex's punish game was weak as hell. easy max damaged on the blocked reversals but goes for the light jab ex chop. pfff. elbows > chop. I'm the only alex that really uses the elbows for max stun and damage.

2:57 and Alex rest his boot upon Urien's head.
These videos are gold for fight fans.
THIS is Street Fighter! Very entertaining.
That Alex defense is tight
Wow this guys Alex is inspiring
GTAB!
NenoBrown24 not really.
How so? I think Gunfight is the best Alex i've seen.
JB Coates there was nothing that he did that made him stand out from other alex's. plus he punish game was weak
I think the Diago/Guile V Gunfight/Alex shows Gunfights skills off a little better. Me personally i just really like his style.
jesus nemo's aegis setups are godlike
Far better than Mortal Kombat Shit .. Season 2 is gonna be interesting ..
That defense from gunfight in that last round was godlike.
Best Alex gameplay I’ve seen yet.
Very fun match up to watch.
This set was intense from beginning to end.
4:55 - 5:00
OMG!!! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL 😢
Great Alex play. Good defense whenever Urien throws out his brain dead free pressure V trigger.
That first round........And that second round of that first match..........lol
Wondering how would a matchup of Nemo's vs Duke's Urien look like.
this alex played really well! Showing that Urien isn't triple S tier like some scrubs are complaining, gotta know the match up. Nemo still needs some time to master this character
Um... Urien IS ridiculously good. One youtube video won't change that. Being high tier doesn't mean that you'll NEVER lose.
my point is: many people are crying for nerfs already without learning the match-up. Sure, he is strong but that's ok? I don#t want to see him getting nerfed to shit tier in another patch because people complain.
Urien is good, but not nearly as stupid as Guile or Cammy.
This is what made the game boring. Nerfing because people wanna complain about mostly fair moves. Urien has terrible defense. He makes up for it with powerful offense. My advice, instead of complaining just learn how to block :)

Wow. I was not expecting Gunfight to take the set. Nemo got predictable with the cr.
lk.
Great set, Nemo got too random at the end hoping to get a ex shoulder charge in.
Damn Gunfight is godlike with Alex!!!
Good match
Gunfight is the most entertaining SFV fighter to watch!
alex is cool hope the give him back his diving throw..
Which diving throw? If you mean the Spiral DDT they better buff the hell out of it first because it was straight garbage in 3rd Strike.
Xavier Vega that thanks that exactly..the spiraling ddt..thanks man
Spiral DDT was absolutely useless in 3rd Strike. It's been effectively replaced by headbutt.
Totally garbage. A free counter hit for the enemy.
Victor Arêas it was definitely ass in 3s, but depending on how they tweaked the properties it could be interesting in V - probably would go over lows and if the EX had armor like Gief's bear grab it could be fun to use (actually probably OP, it would have to have really poor damage and recovery, but just throwing something out there).

ok great now juts give us alex classic and it's a good deal ha
min 4:52 que remonton :v
one of the best alex player
o luta pancada.
Urien говорит БОРОДА НОСИ
Wake up EX headbutt even at Super Diamond =(
Austin K. it's an invincible reversal. that's literally it's purpose, to disrupt oki. nothing wrong with it. what's your point?
That's what Ex headbutt is for.
@Austin K.

This is too much information for a casual.

Gunfight is a fucking god ! Buff Alex capcom !
Anyone else lol at 3:05
Alex is on TOP!!!
this alex's punish game was weak as hell. easy max damaged on the blocked reversals but goes for the light jab ex chop. pfff. elbows > chop. I'm the only alex that really uses the elbows for max stun and damage.
Orestes Leon Same here but for Rashid. I see a lot of good Rashid players not using optimal combos.
