Alex has an oddly high amount of stuff going on that you have to remember, like you can even change the distance of his crouching hp by where you hold. I'm not sure if this will make him very good in the right hands or kind of a mess compared to character with more dependable go to options.
St.MP, cr.MP and cr.MK can all be cancelled into V-Trigger to link st.HP xx Sledge Hammer. A few combos seemed to go for unoptimal links from V-Trigger cancels.
i do beilive standing light punch + standing med punch + lariat works into his down foward heavy punch (shoulder hit that launches) + ex knee .... also if you do the shoulder launch in the corner regular knee grab works.
The damage on some of these punishes is insane, and he can convert off of so many things. I havent tried him yet, so I don't know how hard his tools are to use in a match, but even if he struggles in the neutral game or under pressure, with how much damage he gets when you screw up, along with the mix-up he gets when he gets in, he's looking pretty strong. We'll have to see how people play him and against him.
Thanks for the video loved it like always. I was messing with him some and I enjoy him a lot I did find a combo you don't have on here but it's kinda specific. HP+HK (hold) st.hp HP+HK, LP flashchop xx super or instead just do a power bomb instead of the chop. I believe thats written correctly I'll double check tomorrow. I believe it does around 540 damage. Also on any Sledge hammer land you can do MP flashchop you can do a power bomb reset. I've found it very useful.
+Superking119 Yeah I don't describe it directly but I show off fully charged sledgehammer into st. HP into sledgehammer right at the end, and anytime you can do sledge>grab, you can do MP chop into super (which squeezes out a little more damage than LP chop which you listed). I think the suplex is generally worth going for over the reset but that's my opinion and definitely the more the combo is scaled the better the reset looks.
+Bafael Oh I didn't notice that you did include it. Yeah I've only managed to invest a couple hours into him so I didn't fully optimize it. Thank you for correcting me. And yeah I see what you mean about resets. Once again thank you for the video.ab
If you hit the LK slash elbow meaty, you can get a cr. mp after and v-trigger from that. Stole that from DaFeetLee's video, so far it works super well as a setup after powerbomb or throws.
I think you missed a semi-important corner combo in cr.hp, lk knee smash. It's the most damaging meter-less follow up I've found after landing a jump in or crush counter Lariat.
+Bafael I'm saying instead of slash elbow, depending on position. It's either the mk elbow knocks down or the mp flash chop keeps them standing and you +3
Ay yo Baf, thanks for the video. One quick thing though in the written guide, you say for the CH MP into MP confirm that you can combo into the MK Slash if you have the charge, but I'm 99% sure st. MP doesn't combo into MK Slash, trying it now and not getting it.
correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think you can get more damage into super from Sledgehammer by doing cr. LP, st. LP, LP Flash Chop instead of just MP Flash chop.
+Murderous Neil (Macal) That sounds right, due to minimum damage scaling for supers and whatnot. It probably depends on the combo into super though, I think if you just did st. HP, sledge, MP chop, super, that'll do more than with LP LP into LP chop then super.
He doesn't have any command normal off of light punch. it's standing light punch, linked to standing medium punch, cancelled to the light punch version of flash chop.
+Chorkly what he's asking is, it's possible that if you're doing qcf, release medium punch, hit light punch, that the game is giving you negative edge MP chop before you can finish inputting lp chop. It's a common execution error and looks correct in the command history. Look up my recent video Primer: Negative edge and empty cancels. Try doing the combo and holding down MP and see if that makes it work
Marcus Vinicius v-reversal. he basically has nothing else. ex stomp has some invincibility and ex slash elbow has a hit of armor but they're both too risky for other reasons
***** Yes but they don't really help much. Sometimes the input is convoluted because of double taps and minor input errors. It'd be much easier to just have text on the screen of the inputs.
+benblue3 I deliberately don't do this because it's already there and it makes editing take seriously 8x as long. I'm willing to go the extra mile usually but I don't wanna waste that much of my time for people who can't figure out what they're seeing between seeing the attack on screen, the written guide [commands written out], and the input display [commands written out].
Is there a special trick to getting his HP crush counter anti-air into his dashing slash move? Tried it in training mode for 5 straight minutes and only landed it once.
AmssoBador Spacelot I don't have any trouble getting the elbow out. But it never seems to connect. It looks like it should, but I guess my timing is off.
Ryan Sullivan Eh, that's what I've been doing. Whatever, just need more time in the lab I guess. I think this is the only combo I haven't been able to get in about 60 seconds so far.
Yea, the problem with Alex is you need to be basically an expert at hit confirms, and that's by far my weakest part of the game. I don't see how someone can instantly say to themselves, "Oh, I got a crush counter! It's time for me to do this!..." As opposed to, "Oh, I didn't get a crush counter. I better do this!..." How someone can think on their toes that quickly is beyond me. I'll just have to grind it and hope it becomes muscle memory. Thankfully, the combos themselves are easy; it's just figuring out what combo to use based on the type of hit-confirm.
Your notes are sloppy, I would be able to do the combos if I knew where it started and ended, you just are throwing a bunch of information at paper practically, please clean it up, because your content is good, but the notes were very tough to read.
Help me help you. How exactly are you struggling? Every new paragraph is a new combo, and the combos end with the damage and stun notations (damage value, stun value) with the notes about the combo following.
That makes more sense lmao I'm an idiot, I was thinking that you were like intermingling combos, but I can see now that its all one combo. My bad dude, your videos are super dope; I'm usually able to pick up the combos in your videos purely from knowledge but I decided to read it this time, and got confused, thanks for the help man.
Alex has an oddly high amount of stuff going on that you have to remember, like you can even change the distance of his crouching hp by where you hold.
I'm not sure if this will make him very good in the right hands or kind of a mess compared to character with more dependable go to options.
Nice to see some fine play of my boy Alex. Nice work
these are literally the best videos
Thanks a lot my man, this helped my Alex game get better.

I can't even comprehend how aggravating doing those combos must have been

great vid. something that everyone hasn't seem ro have checked is that you can do cr.lp, cr.lp, into headbutt.
into cr.Hp?
+Shane Johnson Isn't that just a kinda gimmicky reactable mix-up?
Thanks for the video loved it like always. I was messing with him some and I enjoy him a lot I did find a combo you don't have on here but it's kinda specific.

I struggle performing lariat into medium punch into slash elbow. the last 2 parts I can't get the timing right
Crouchign heavy punch is my favorite anti air. I hate doing raw DPs with alex because the start up begins with his hitbox bigger than the hurtbox.
Well these are the simplest combos I've seen in this game so far. I think I've found my main lol.
This dude is OP.
+Time Flies By So Fast not really. Birdie is OP. This dude is just dangerous.
If you hit the LK slash elbow meaty, you can get a cr. mp after and v-trigger from that. Stole that from DaFeetLee's video, so far it works super well as a setup after powerbomb or throws.
there is this op 2 hit combos i do it all the time and people get super mad its just the back hand slap straight into the super
I think you missed a semi-important corner combo in cr.hp, lk knee smash. It's the most damaging meter-less follow up I've found after landing a jump in or crush counter Lariat.
+Cheeky Breeky That is a pretty fundamental combo I missed lol, I'll add it in.
Please make a video about when is a good time to v reversal against each character
If you're in the corner, isn't it better to cancel mp chop from fierce? It leaves you +3 and in the mp or power bomb mixup.
+Ryan Sullivan That's true regardless of your screen position. Contrary to general belief, pushback is identical midscreen and in the corner.
+Bafael I'm saying instead of slash elbow, depending on position. It's either the mk elbow knocks down or the mp flash chop keeps them standing and you +3
+Ryan Sullivan I'm recommending ending in MP chop regardless of screen position.
Ay yo Baf, thanks for the video. One quick thing though in the written guide, you say for the CH MP into MP confirm that you can combo into the MK Slash if you have the charge, but I'm 99% sure st. MP doesn't combo into MK Slash, trying it now and not getting it.
+Chunk Brickson Oh yeah it's supposed to say LK slash.
correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think you can get more damage into super from Sledgehammer by doing cr. LP, st. LP, LP Flash Chop instead of just MP Flash chop.
+Murderous Neil (Macal) That sounds right, due to minimum damage scaling for supers and whatnot. It probably depends on the combo into super though, I think if you just did st. HP, sledge, MP chop, super, that'll do more than with LP LP into LP chop then super.
+Bafael What are the 50/50 after st.lp anti air?
Do you have a "how to play or bread and butter bison combo video?" Would greatly appreciate one! :D
+DeathstarsEG ua-cam.com/video/sVMIvk7QgdM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/FCmsGmQotHY/v-deo.html
cant get the lp- mp- qcf p to work i connect the light and the medium but when i do the qcf it drops
+TELEKINETICxBOLT You hitting the right punch? It's gotta be LP Chop.
i do standing lp do i have to do forward lp
He doesn't have any command normal off of light punch. it's standing light punch, linked to standing medium punch, cancelled to the light punch version of flash chop.

very good love it
I wish to know how is the best Alex tool on wake up, under pressure
Marcus Vinicius v-reversal. he basically has nothing else. ex stomp has some invincibility and ex slash elbow has a hit of armor but they're both too risky for other reasons
Bafael thanks man, I think he is the kind of char to play making pressure on your opponent all the time
I have literally just entered UA-cam to look for this... :D
I really like this video. You should make shorter ones like this if you have time for bnbs for all characters
+RPens I already did. ua-cam.com/play/PLo3Zl2nq6CkBXf96ov1s4NZjN2KQ3MQZq.html
+Bafael nice dude thanks
question: when will how to play nash be coming? or will you do him for a how to play?
+rexxnight8378 he's next on the list.
thanks for telling me
Also, why not put inputs on the screen when doing combos..?
They're on the left side of the screen for the whole video?
+benblue3 some ppl are just blind :) mentally
***** Yes but they don't really help much. Sometimes the input is convoluted because of double taps and minor input errors. It'd be much easier to just have text on the screen of the inputs.

***** Makes sense
Is there a special trick to getting his HP crush counter anti-air into his dashing slash move? Tried it in training mode for 5 straight minutes and only landed it once.
+nickmeistersa Basically you only tap forward to do the f+hp and immediately return to down-back to gather the charge for the elbow.
AmssoBador Spacelot I don't have any trouble getting the elbow out. But it never seems to connect. It looks like it should, but I guess my timing is off.
+nickmeistersa use Mk slash, it works.
Ryan Sullivan Eh, that's what I've been doing. Whatever, just need more time in the lab I guess. I think this is the only combo I haven't been able to get in about 60 seconds so far.
I think they aren't complex you just need to time it right.
I don't know how helpful this is but from point blank you can get 3 cr. lp into ex chop.
but yeah hes not complex all i know is that akuma and kage are cause kage has a 100 to death combo

Trust me when I say that all characters are extremely hit confirm oriented and you get used to reacting very rapidly.
ReMeDy
me ? jk
This is quite possible actually. Another tip is to try predict que opponent whiffed moves instead of just count on reaction.
I realize you're still saying things like "appears to be" invincible. You can see the hitboxes yourself on Dantarion's website, he has them all.
+MystyrNile Yeah but I didn't look at them :]
Dude, i want to see the damage.
+Korben Jackson All damage and stun values are listed in the description.
Yass!!
U should of told people that alot of these combos u need hard active which is his v skill
I did, one of the first notes in the text file while the video stresses you should consult the text file
Alex is alright. Im not a fan of your vids. Whats up with the creepy pics in the beginning and end of your vids man.
+ChaoticDrDoom7 Fanart+memes from my stream
You're an ass, then don't watch his videos.. What's creepy about a sloth?
no kidding. thx for winning the award for not minding your business.

After St. Mp - v-trigger - u can use St. Hp not St. Mp :)
