I play him like Street Fighter 2, normal moves and random special moves. I never use v-skill or ex moves and I can't do supers consistently.

No. They accidentally gave more reason for you to a wait until they iron out lobby kinks (hmm you figure a huge period to test netcode and functionalities would have been a great time to test this, too bad there wasn't one)
Alex is in if you care about him I guess?

At this point you're probably winning because most of your opponents have never encountered him outside of survival mode. The reason people beat you with Ryu is that everyone knows how to react against a middling Ryu.

I'd say stick with him, learn some basic combos and how to incorporate the other stuff. I've run into Fang a few times online and yeah, if the guy has any skill at all he usually wipes the floor with me because 90% of my online matches are against Ryu / Ken / Cammy. But then I play mostly with Rashid, so I have the "WHAT THE gently caress IS GOING ON advantage sometimes too.

I beat my first decent player last night, 801 Strider's Alex, but I think it's just proof that Alex kinda sucks. I'm pretty surprised that at least the two out of three rematch option seems to be working nicely, almost everyone likes the rematch and takes one that I've found.

6f. Most of his things are +2 so he can lose to 3f normals, but he has f+HP which is +3, and he's +3 after a chop on hit. He also has some easy meaty setups for it.

At least he easily beats Laura it feels like unless I'm just really bad which is quite possible.

I beat strider with Laura, but I played it really defensively, I think he might have a hard time with the fireballs she has.

Good to know. My main problem so far is that he completely outranges me with pokes and even worse I cannot react to stun gun headbutt :(

Oh well back in the lab and grinding things out.

Reverse joint legs are cool because they can jump higher and have less energy drain on your Armored Core so I think Alex has the right idea here. I just always used tank treads though because lol managing load.

I've been playing nothing but Alex since release and I think he's pretty good. His damage is good, nothing absolutely insane but he's kind of like Ken where his crush counters *always* lead into something big, and he gets big easy confirms off random things with vtrigger. He's got a lot of room for refinement with his vtrigger parry and situational anti-air confirms, as well. His command grab is not very good but like Mika or Laura he has situations where he just forces you to guess and his neutral is *a lot* better than both of those characters.

The main thing is he's got a lot of tools relative to most of the cast. They're not all good, most of them are just bad, but finding good ways to use bad tools with a character who is fundamentally pretty good is a thing a dedicated character specialist can do to be dominant.

One of the things I'm most worried about with constant string of big CPT tournaments with a lot on the line is that most top players will not be looking to pick up any new characters and dedicate real time to them.

you have to actually try with his anti-airs unlike most characters but deep knee seems to be pretty reliable, its not stand jab or birdie c.MP levels of braindead. he seems closer to how the average character should function w/ regards to AAs in this game

im just upset fwd MP isnt like his 3s one which was great for dealing with crossups because the hitbox was actually like slightly above and behind his head on startup

He has the third best st.LP anti-air in the game and EX Knee is fully invin frames 6-13 and has a good hitbox.

cr.HP and f+HP are more situational but have really high damage potential and shouldn't ever lose if timed correctly because jump-ins in this game have really bad hitboxes. The huge amount of input lag makes using these things much harder than they should be but you can always default to pressing st.LP if you're not ready/unsure and enjoy your free mixup.

every time i play online on ps4 i like literally time a tech throw before a guy finishes dashing in and i still get grabbed btw. goty.

the game generally plays OK otherwise but yeah the lag difference on ps4 vs pc is just disturbingly massive.

He *can* just press stand jab though. The first active frame is pretty good anti-air hitbox and it gets progressively higher until the 6th (total) frame:

stand jab doesnt beat tabs jumpins. its not very good for ppl that are on top of you imo from what i tried but that was from like 15 tries as a person who isnt used to jab aa since I play birdie who has a better aa so im probably an idiot

he feels like he has too many moves. maybe just because some characters have less than half as many

the overlap there is my biggest peeve tho, maybe if they had the same startup animation and he had like ddt/landgrab/stomp as 3 different options on 3 different buttons off the same motion.
