Sometimes I wish this game got patched. Alex is one of my favorite characters stylistically. But his low game is terrible. His throws don't do great damage and you get no mix up afterwards outside of the corner. His super throw is escapable, stun-gun is terrible, flash chop goes over a lot of characters heads... it's depressing.
I think that if your reactions are on point you can hit confirm SA2 with a single cr lk (it's a link, not a cancel). I've only seen Kuroda go for that, but in paper, if you could unlock that hit confirm, Alex would have a really scary mixup when he corners you
Alex's response to dash in makoto is normal throw. It is 3 frames and will beat any input the makoto player will try because they are still in recovery from the dash. He was using back Ferice with alex incorrectly. The mix up is standing ferice as an over head vs back Ferice which can not be parried. Alex gets low threat because his short can be canceled into SA 2 vs getting hit with standing ferice as an overhead. Also the opponent will eat low roundhouse as an effect of this mix up which will put the opponent back into a wake up overhead vs low mix up. If done correctly the average player can not survive being mix up more than three times against Alex after being repetitively knocked down and choosing incorrectly on defense.
Well makoto is among the top 5 since... 1998? J "invented" the text-book makoto, and since then ppl found a little bit more stuff to make her even more awesome little by little, but she has ALWAYS been considered strong/top
holy shit this had insaanne moments, mimora on makoto, specifically against alex is so cheap wtf u supposed to do as Alex against a makoto on this level....u have to get everything right - it's fucked genki is amazing though
Yeah, Mimora is easily on the top 3 Makoto players in the world, and Genki might be the strongest Alex in the world, but you would totally beat them yeah
