Alex Brings His High-Flying Action to Street Fighter™ 6 as He Steps Into the Ring on March 17
Media alert
Wrestling superstar Kenny Omega also revealed as motion capture actor for the signature moves of the upcoming character
Today, Capcom gave wrestling fans ring-side seats to see the Dark Devil himself, Alex, with a gripping gameplay trailer of his debut in Street Fighter™ 6. Alex will be the third character coming to Street Fighter 6 Year 3 across PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch™ 2 on March 17.
Watch the gameplay trailer showcasing Alex’s new moves on YouTube here, and for the latest assets and information on Street Fighter 6, visit the Street Fighter 6 website and Capcom Press Center.
Alex kicked off his fighting career as the protagonist of Street Fighter III: New Generation in 1997. Since then, his brash disposition has earned him the moniker The Man with No Allies whenever he steps into the ring. After more time refining his technique, Alex has added a new stance, over 10 throws, and new moves that transition seamlessly into one another to make him a fighting force whether he’s in the ring or on the streets.
As shown in the gameplay trailer, Alex’s fierce wrestling techniques include:
Flash Axe: A rapid attack with light and medium options. The light version is a great combo ender whereas the medium can transition into Prowler Stance upon hit.
Flash Chop: When this bodacious heavy strike hits on the ground, the opponent will be opened up to a follow-up grab like Power Bomb or Oblique Stomp for some wicked damage. The OD version allows Alex to transition to Prowler Stance on hit.
Aerial Knee Smash: A fantastic anti-air technique as Alex jumps into the air and slams his opponent into the ground with his knee.
Power Bomb: Alex’s signature move comes with light, medium, and heavy variations, which all deal the same damage while offering other unique benefits.
Prowler Stance: Alex forfeits the ability to block while in this stance, but gains 11 different follow-up options to mix-up his opponent. For example, if you land Sweep Combination (Target Combo), Hyper Takedown (Throw), or Dangerous Armbar (Throw) on a Punish Counter, they’ll transition into Flying Suplex, Death Valley Bomb, and Spiral DDT respectively.
Raging Spear: Alex’s Level 1 Super Art has him spring forward with a devastating tackle. This move is invincible on start-up to both strikes and throws and can also be used in combos.
Sledgecross Hammer: Alex’s Level 2 Super Art crushes opponents with a devastating lariat that can wall splat if it hits an airborne opponent and has some invincibility from projectiles.
Omega Wing Buster: Alex has another Level 2 Super Art following a successful OD Power Drop where Alex can transition into Omega Wing Buster. If this move looks familiar it might be because wrestling superstar Kenny Omega performed this move’s motion capture for Alex!
The Final Prison: Alex’s Level 3 Super Art The Final Prison has four different animations! The wrestler chokes the opponent out with a series of phenomenal grappling moves. There’s the normal Level 3 version, the Level 3 version that results in a K.O., the normal CA version, and a CA version that ends in a K.O.
Alex will be unlocked and ready to throw down for players who own or purchase the Year 3 Character Pass or Year 3 Ultimate Pass on March 17. Alex’s Outfit 1 reflects his role as the Dark Devil of the ring, while Outfit 2 reflects a more classic look from Street Fighter III. Stay tuned for the full release of Alex’s theme song “GO! ALEX! Hope is Born!” composed by anime song super band JAM Project, which can be heard in the gameplay trailer.
Alex joins the already released Year 3 characters Sagat and C. Viper, with Ingrid (Late Spring 2025) waiting in the wings to round out the Year 3 character roster.
