Screw that, I want to use the DDT for more damage instead of chop for being close, and I use VT2 against grapplers, so keeping at a distance is the key. I just simplify it, s.MK activate VT, s.MK, DDT, Simple combo that is like 25% health
Man! The first video made me change and learn better the VT1, but now it is a no turning back point! haha I was one of the people the asked for the parry explanation! So im looking forward for the next videos! :D
I basically only use V-T2 against grapplers where we're both pretty close in anyway, and it's pointless trying to parry someone who's poking repeatedly trying to get in close enough for a command throw.
In addition to the advantages you stated Alex has in VT1 is the amount of meter he builds while doing parries/sledgehammer. VT1 outshines VT2 in virtually every way.
I'm a proponent of VT2 as a combo extender and making your mediums scarier, but yeah it either needs 1) To last wayyyy longer than 1.5 DDTs 2) Make it just buff his Chops into Dragon Sleepers and make DDT a regular move 3) Give DDT Dolphin Dive properties 4) All of the above That said, I think it's really fun, especially against aggressive opponents that dash head-first into your st.MK, or get clipped by cr.MP and cr.MK. I'd also recommend VT2 if, like me, you rely almost too much on VT1. If you need VT1 to have good defense as Alex, you don't have good defense, period.
Yeah, considering Abigail gets 3 full charges off his Hybrid Charge, Alex is just pathetic in comparison. Bison gets insane amounts of damage from landing a Pyscho Charge and if you managed to combo into the Psycho Judgment after, and his Psycho Crusher can be canceled from ANY of his ground based special moves. I think it's fair you only get 2 uses of the DDT, but since the Sleeper Choke already suffers from heavy damage scaling being used at the end of a combo, they might as well give you up to 3 uses for it, since you'd still need to land the Flash Chop 3 times. Personally, aside from letting the DDT hit crouching opponents, I'd also want to be able to cancel into a Sleeper Choke from his Slash Elbow. The DDT needs to be able to hit a crouching opponent, period. I'd rather the DDT be blockable, but have armor and is easy to combo into than being an unblockable piece of crap that whiffs even when you hit a crouching opponent. Alex has crap defense, period. If you're in the corner and someone is trying to meaty you, your only two options are either a V-Reversal or Critical Art. Capcom couldn't even have the decency to give his EX Air Knee Smash first frame invincibility for a move that burns meter, when a regular MP and HP Shoryuken already has invincibility frames.
Completly off topic: Alex with short hair would look soooooo disproportionate. Like with this costume imagine hin without the bangs or the pony tail...
I wish they would just buff his tools a bit already. I’m now a Honda main aka Better Alex. Still play Alex but lol why would i use him in Ranked? Honda has better versions of all his moves.
OVA ZA RIMIT!

They could make it a 3 bar, make it permanent and it still wouldn't be as good as VT1.
3 bar, infinite, make the charges like Bison/Necalli and fix those shit whiffs, then we're talking...
ALEX NATIONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Very comprehensive guide on VT2. Also, FF X-2 opening theme. Good track.

Dude 6:22 that whole segment lmaooo
I like that fact you don’t follow the “wave” of what you “should “ use.
i really like your stuff
I wish they would just buff his tools a bit already. I’m now a Honda main aka Better Alex. Still play Alex but lol why would i use him in Ranked? Honda has better versions of all his moves.
loving the vids Twisted...oh u forgot to mention its also not projectile invincible HAHAHA VT2 is so ass lol
Vt2 is only for high damage,
I think I met you at Red Bull conquest .
can't you just standing roundhouse into ddt on crouching jab happy cammy? standing roundhouse forces cammy to stand, no?
cutmastertko Yes, but you would have to pray that you land the hit. If they block the hit, your DDT will whiff if you opponent blocks.
yeah no doubt, I was speaking about the scenario you set up with jab happy crouching cammy. #vt2suks
alex safe jumps in season 3.5
Get with Ono and fix this stuff for us, Twisted.
