Capcom brings in Street Fighter 6 The giant from New York will officially enter the ring on March 17th. The new character guide for Alex reveals a significantly more aggressive fighting style and a darker mindset.
The trailer leaves no doubt: Alex has shed his nice, all-American vibe. His moveset appears significantly more powerful in the video, almost hateful. This fits the storyline, in which he wants to leave his past behind. Anyone who has played him as a pure grappler will have to rethink their approach. The scenes shown suggest a high-risk, high-reward system. One wrong move and his guard is open. Typical heel.
The focus on his new post-grab moves is particularly exciting. Capcom showcases a new Super Art that serves as a finisher. The damage looks substantial, and everything appears fluid in the guide. This makes Alex anything but a beginner character who just wants to mash buttons. Anyone who doesn't master ranged control will be in for a rude awakening. I see potential for some truly frustrating moments for opponents.
Will be added as a champion in world tour mode ^^
