Street Fighter 6: Alex’s Movelist Unveiled, New Stance Features 11 Follow-Ups
Capcom has unveiled the gameplay trailer for Alex in the highly anticipated Street Fighter 6, revealing significant changes to his playstyle and mechanics. Fans can expect a diverse moveset complemented by new features, making Alex a unique addition to the game’s roster.
New Moves and Mechanics
Alex’s moveset introduces several exciting techniques designed to keep opponents on their toes. Central to his new strategy is the Prowler Stance, which allows a remarkable 11 follow-ups.
Key Moves
- Flash Axe: A new special attack that serves as a safe combo ender with two versions—light and medium. The medium version can transition into Prowler Stance.
- Flash Chop: Now exclusively a heavy punch input, this move can open up opponents for follow-ups like Power Bomb. The Overdrive version transitions into Prowler Stance.
- Aerial Knee Smash: Available in light and medium versions, it functions as an anti-air. The heavy version is combo-friendly but less effective against aerial enemies.
- Power Bomb: Alex’s signature move comes in light, medium, and heavy variations, all dealing equal damage but differing in speed and range.
Prowler Stance Features
Prowler Stance is a defining element of Alex’s gameplay. While using this stance, Alex cannot block but gains access to multiple follow-up attacks:
- Heavy Punch: Resumes the Heavy Lariat, which offers armor when held.
- Tactical Hop: Activated by light kick, allows follow-ups with Air Stampede or aerial attacks.
- Punish Counter Transitions: Successful hits can transition into powerful moves like Flying Suplex and Death Valley Bomb.
Super Arts
Alex showcases three distinct Super Arts that enhance his offensive capabilities:
- Raging Spear: A Level 1 Super Art that features a tackle with invincibility against strikes and throws.
- Sledgecross Hammer: This Level 2 Super Art wall splats airborne opponents and offers projectile invincibility.
- Omega Wing Buster: Also a Level 2 Super, this move follows a successful OD Power Drop and pays homage to wrestling star Kenny Omega.
Level 3 Super Art
Alex’s Level 3 Super Art, The Final Prison, includes multiple animations. Depending on its execution, it can result in a regular KO or utilize the Critical Art for higher impact.
Release Date
As the gaming community eagerly awaits the release, Alex will be available on March 17, further enriching the roster in Street Fighter 6. For more details, players can visit the official blog on Filmogaz.com and experience the latest updates.
