Berserk Button: Hurting Tom or Patricia will lead to Alex setting out on a quest to kick your ass.In V, he simply ties his shirt around his waist instead of ripping it off. Battle Strip: He does this before every fight.His story mode outfit and his premium outfit both have this, and even back in III, the shirt he would rip off before the fight starts is pretty small on him. Bare Your Midriff: On the occasions when Alex is wearing a shirt, they tend to be way too small on him.Most of his moves use brute force, but Flash Chop surrounds his hand with ki as he strikes. Averted in the (non-canon) UDON comics, where it is revealed that he is descended from a renegade sect of the Illuminati, and has genes that mark him as a potential future messiah for the organization. Badass Normal: He has no Ki Manipulation or projectiles and fights with nothing but brute strength.Let's just say it works too well for their own good.
In V, he is kidnapped by Shadaloo's latest enforcer, F.A.N.G, who has him fight holographic projections of other fighters, in order to test his potential as a replacement body for Bison.
A rare departure for Capcom as Alex is the true main character of SFIII, not Ryu.Īfter many years, Alex finally returned in Street Fighter V, as the first DLC fighter.
After the tournament, he travels the world in search of strong opponents. A grappler who seeks to avenge his friend and mentor Tom by defeating Gill.
