Street Fighter 6 has a knack for implementing the best versions of fan-favorite characters, including one who was once hated at his debut.
includes far too many characters to count, with not all of them capturing the hearts of fans like the original World Warriors. However, the interpretation of many fighters inhas been stellar, crafting arguably the best versions of certain figures than ever before.
As characters gain new and old moves alike, new lore through World Tour, or redesigned upgrades visually, one fighter stands out in the latest DLC group as perhaps the one who benefits the most from their modern inclusion.characters from the series’ past have nearly every special move in their history, making anyone who gets added to the roster almost an homage to their unique place in Capcom’s extensive fighting game catalog. While, the ones that do have usually been fan-favorites, such as Akuma, M. Bison, Elena, and Juri. The latest DLC Character Pass has four such returning characters — Sagat, C. Viper, Alex, and Ingrid.that stems from the third generation of arcade games. While Sagat is a beloved boss from the very first game and C. Viper is an incredibly unique gadget-based fighter fromrelease, as he looks better than ever before. The grappling wrestler has turned into a “heel,” or an antagonist fighter meant to draw boos and jeers from the crowd, playing into his “hated” role. With moves motion captured by professional wrestler Kenny Omega, Alex’s gameplay trailer showed off an authentic style of close-range fighting that already has fans buzzing in excitement.Alex also has received more love than even some other DLC characters, with custom theme music done by JAM Project. This band has previously made a variety of incredible tracks, including some for popular anime series like. The energy surrounding Alex seems to be far greater than other fighters, almost acting as a shot of redemption Capcom is injecting into the character based on their tumultuous past., an arcade game meant to move the series in a new direction. Unfortunately, this “new direction” meant Capcom getting rid of many fan-favorite characters, including Ryu, Ken, Dhalsim, and pretty much every big name from. Alex was meant to be the new protagonist of the franchise, replacing both Ryu and Ken simultaneously.would later re-introduce some classic characters, taking away Alex’s purpose incredibly quickly. Even though concerns were answered, Alex still never regained as much appeal as other characters like Necro and Hugo would get in the following years. Part of this was due to Alex’s relative weakness compared to other fighters, with many inconsistencies defining a messy playstyle. Many moves for Alex simply didn’t work as intended, and were never really fixed as each version of. However, it seems like Alex’s newest debut is one with far more concise direction, with Capcom establishing the character with far more personality in both his demeanor and how he fights. Alex battles dirty like a wrestling heel should, going for intense grapples meant to make foes tap out in submission and disgrace.The harsh accent and antagonist mood of Alex seems to embrace his hated roots, with him almost feeding off the negative energy that once defined him. This fresh take on Alex is transformative, elevating the fighter to be just as interesting as hispeers for once. With some returning special moves and a new wrestling stance in his arsenal, Alex could easily become one of the most popular fighters in the game, on the same level as Ken or Ryu who he once almost replaced.like King and Armor King, who also use wrestling styles to create explosive moments of thrilling gameplay. If Capcom keeps this new design for Alex in the future, the character’s solidified direction may resonate with fans more than ever before, allowing the fighter to come back in future titles.Get access to exclusive stories on new releases, movies, shows, comics, anime, games and more!
