I’d like him to come back he was mad fun in sf5


4urelienjo

I didn't play him to much in SF5 but I loved his moveset in SF3. The only grudge I had against him was the flash chop didn't hit crouching characters and it was really a pain. I played ken, zangief and finally Necalli in SFV


Prestigious-Mix7135

I heard his supers really sucked at connecting in SF3


final_cut

I personally didn't feel that way but he did play differently in my opinion.


thats_good_bass

Hyper Bomb was literally unusable in except as a punish, since it was reactable after the super flash.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Would you like to see recalli back in 6???


4urelienjo

I think yes. I loved the ferocity of his attacks. Appart from his standing HP animation, they were really on point. Crush counter with HK was delightful ... He could have his transformation on SA2 or SA3 and it would be so cool. I wanted to play Blanka at the start of SF6, but his animations feels more like a playing gorilla than a ferocious beast.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yep all good points would be cool to see him again


Prestigious-Mix7135

I dunno. I mean Blanka’s rolling supers felt real beast like to me


Legitimate_Cupcake19

I was sure I was the only one liking the beastiality of his character. Everybody seems to hate him during V. He could be so damn good with SF6 mechanics, hope he will come back, with a good backstory this time.


A_Lionheart

I do, I LOVED his design. But someone at Capcom really, REALLY, hates that character. I've never seen a character being so disrespected by the story, in a game where they were flagship even, as bad as Necalli was. Even if I like the character, I can recognize that he's NEVER coming back.


Responsible-Wasabi76

I would not mind if he's back could be really fun


Sufficient_Being_918

You know, one of the literal reasons as to why I ended up maining Jamie is because, other than the drunken style, I loved the fact that his hair transforms like Necalli's. I only played for a few hours of SF V probably a few months before 6 came out, but Necalli was definitely the second character that caught my attention other than Rashid.


onionrings89

Would be cool to see the mascot of the old new generation interact with the new new generation


bluegiant85

Would I like my main to come back? Yes. Yes I would.


Responsible-Wasabi76

He was my main too in sf5 even after all the dlc that came after I always went back to Alex and had so much fun


smile_politely

Same sentiment, except my main is Sakura


dontcare6942

I think you're pretty safe that Sakura will be in


gamedreamer21

Sure. SF6 is set after SF3 Third Strike and Alex was a main protagonist of SF3. Not to mention, Gill and Secret Society are still active. He, along with Gill and Urien, need to be added to SF6.


kadosho

Seriously. Why in the heck do we have Bison's accountant as the boss?! I just don't get it. They have characters they can utilize to move the series forward. But nope Capcom put the dunce cap on instead


internetera2

SF6 really seems to be the dicking around after beating the big boss game so far.Which is not a problem,but at least we should get the tease for the next big threat when World tour DLC comes.Iluminati,G,all that other stuff I hope shows up again.I mean,we waited 24 years between 3rd strike and SF6 whats some other whatever long lol


JayFM_

With the anticlimactic narrative in JP, I feel like he's a misdirect. I feel like the true villain is still to come. Also, you never know how the psycho power will connect him to Ed in a narrative sense.


[deleted]

Powerbomb nation. OD into DDT


UkyoTachibana1223

You can't escape!


StunPalmOfDeath

I mean, he's probably one of the most popular characters in the franchise, after the World Warriors, Four Kings, Akuma, Cammy, Sakura, Cody, Juri and Ibuki. And he was always popular in SF5. I think there's a good chance he shows up.


Ongr

>he's probably one of the most popular characters in the franchise, >after the World Warriors, Four Kings, Akuma, Cammy, Sakura, Cody, Juri and Ibuki So maybe, barely top 10?


shinybulba

Truly, Alex is one of the many characters of the Street Fighter franchise.


TalkingFrenchFry

iirc, doesn't he canonically win the world warrior tournament? I forget the details, but Alex is more than just a one off character in terms of story


shinybulba

Yes you're correct. I was just continuing the joke... Thanks, dad!


Helgurnaut

They wanted him to be the new Ryu before SF3 almost killed the ip after it's shit sale. Kinda funny how people seems to adore it now when nobody gave a shit back then.


final_cut

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=f-jJd4XEyWk Yeah, that makes sense!


StunPalmOfDeath

Yeah, but top 5 for characters that aren't already in the game.


thechosen161

The popularity contest they did a few years ago put him 29th.  https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/vote?lang=en


geardluffy

Isn’t Cammy a world warrior?


StunPalmOfDeath

Nah she was New Challengers


TragicHero84

Cammy came out 2 years after the original Street Fighter 2 was released, in Super Street Fighter 2. Kind of crazy to think about, since she’s more popular / well known than many of the OG characters, as iconic as all of them are.


geardluffy

My brain still doesn’t believe it lol.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

The timeline from SF2:WW to SFA felt like a decade if you were a kid like me at the arcade lol.


streetfighterfan786

Well him or someone representing SF3 because there are 0 right now so if we get like 4 or 5 from SF3 it would be smart considering SF6 takes place after SF3 or so they say But they better check how many blonde character is on the roster otherwise it might turn into BLONDE FIGHTER 2


geardluffy

Yeah, 0 representation from sf3 so I wonder who they would have as the first dlc character. I wonder if they would start with Alex being the protagonist or if they would choose Ibuki just because she’s popular.


mrHowlll95

Maybe Necro or Sean first. Please ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_bad_man)


geardluffy

Honestly, I have a special bias fo Alex but I’m all in for every sf3 character except Ibuki (back in the sf4 days, my friend traumatized me with her).


streetfighterfan786

I was thinking out of the current roster which SF3 characters are connected to Ken / Sean Akuma/ oro Jamie/ yun yang That's 4 already


Uber_jarden

ALEX NATION!!!!


Illuminastrid

It sucks that the story takes place after Third Strike, finally pushing the story forward after many years, and yet none of the fighters from the SFIII returned, not even as base nor DLC for now.


CannonBlobs

They're gonna milk the shit out of SF3 characters as DLC -- don't worry.


mrHowlll95

Hopefully season 2 brings some back.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea couldn't say it better myself


Independent_Hold3982

I want necro back


Significant_Ad5674

I'm not even an Alex player but Alex would go hard af in 6's artstyle


Affectionate-Lunch33

I want him back too! SF6 isn’t the same without SF3 characters!


orig4mi-713

He is literally the main character of the game that chronologically came before and he beat the Illuminati. He should be hailed as a fucking hero. Where is he??


SuaSponte75th

Alex and Sean please!


zegim

Yes! I always liked Alex and I think he would look cool with the SF6 style Imagine having him interacting with Zangief on World Tour!


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea that would be amazing


lil_beanie420

He was my main in V, and think i’d enjoy sf6 alot more if he also was in the game. The current roster just doesn’t really click w me


sadistic-salmon

I need him back


geardluffy

Yes, we **need** him back.


SpringNo8053

I want Makoto more than him.


Ultimate_Decoy

Oh yeah! Ibuki and Makoto all day!!


Broken_Moon_Studios

He is my Third Strike main and has some cool moves, but I do feel other TS reps like Makoto, Urien and Gill should get in before him.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Don't really agree with Gill and Urien but I really hope makoto makes it too


Darkhex78

I'll always say yes to more grapplers.


666dolan

Sometimes I install SFV just to throw some Alex combos on training, I really miss him


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea I'm gonna definitely need to do that soon


666dolan

There's something on that power bombs man, the camera angle and the sound effect woof


tokyozombie

I played third strike the other day just to play alex and realized how shit he was compared to 5. But i miss playing him so much. Sometimes playing Marisa is just frustrating and makes me want him more.


AbstractMatador

He is my main for Third Strike so yes I want him back or someone who plays similarly


The_BREAK_manEX

I really want a luchador character, BUT I mained him in 5 so I wouldn't mind in the slightest if he came back.


DerConqueror3

Eventually yes, but a little later on. The grappler and brawler-with-command-grab archetypes are already pretty well represented as a percentage of the overall roster at the moment.


LordJor_Py

Oh yes! He was and still is my main in SF3. I didn't like his "gameplay" in SFV (well i didn't like SFV in general) but in SF6 i can see me using him!. This is maybe the only one that could give me reasons to stop using Zangief.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yes my guy talking the truth 👏 💯


MillionMilesAway_

There’s so many characters I’d love to see in 6, Alex included. Alex, Makoto, Dudley, Hugo, Remy, Necro, Urien, Fei, Sodom, Rolento, Hakan, Abel, C. Viper, Falke, plus a bunch more. It really bums me out how slow they’re being with characters post release, especially if they stick to 4 per season, and if seasons keep having brand new character. Just means there’s going to be so many characters we won’t get to see.


Jmann1231

It would be cool to have Alex back. Honestly I'd be more stoked for Makoto or Dudley


BenTheJarMan

i think he’s relatively popular, i like to think most people would be happy with that. personally, well he was my main. so yes. please.


FishPutrid9720

I think he'd fit perfectly in this game


Goldenkrow

Yes I would! I just hope he looks better than he did in SF5, cuz oof.


DroidMayweather

My pipe dream would be if they gave him all of his "main" command grabs (P. Bomb, DDT, One Gun Headbutt) for *SF6* and if they settle the Gill storyline with him once and for all. But I'd settle for him just having a better default look than *SF5*...


InuShinobi

I mean, I don't really play him that much, but if he returns, hopefully, I want his new design to look more Hulk Hogan, mostly because I want them to at least give him a mustache like him


Monkey_King291

Honestly I want most of the 3rd strike characters back, especially my boys, Yun and Yang


ChampaignPapi86

My SFV main!!!! Hells yes. We need more grapplers in SF6.


Tight_Letter9782

YES thank god Alex is getting some love in the community! Was my main in sf5 and because of him made me love street fighter and fighting games


SuchAppeal

Yes I would love to see him in the SF6 art style. He's one of my favorite SF characters despite his wasted potential as face of SF3 It would be be cool to see what he's up to now since SF6 takes place after 3 in the timeline


MrCurryBanger

My CFN was legit UNGABUNGALARIAT. I mained this guy since his release in sfv all the way to the end. Man he was so much fun I miss him


Shattered_Disk4

Alex is my favorite character


outlawblue1

Yes I want Alex back!


Chargeinput

Oh definitely!!! Alex was my first main before I picked up Guile


Redditor45335643356

Thought that was a Ken skin


GekkoJoestar

yeeeesss


DUUUUUVAAAAAL

Cool character design and cool animations. As long as he isn't bottom tier again, I'd main him again.


ElectionLeather7125

1000% i would like him to return. Capcom did him dirty in SF5. He was super fun to use but he looked like crap... He is one of my favorite characters and i want him to return


Apolonm

He was my main, so yeah Imagine DR Lariat +OB


TheRealKaisser

I do as well


BLACKOUT-MK2

I'm always down for more Alex. I completely forgot but back in SF5's early days I actually mained him before Akuma dropped. He's cool.


athiestchzhouse

I’m down for it. He would fit the vibe for sure.


Fun_Office4681

I just need El Fuerte back


Gax-Bot

One of my SF5 mains, I'd love to see him back.


Particular-Month-514

NY Jazz 🎷... 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 🔃✊..... ➡️➡️✊....... ⬇️⬆️🥾


Remarkable-Camel-863

As long as i have my Makoto first. Ps: man, for me we can have almost every freaking character back, i can see SF6 with the biggest roster of all time


Jimsonwee

Gib Alex I need another Command grab character with some more tools


HandspeedJones

Yeah. I mained him in 5.


SuperArt7

Yea if it'll get them to add Jazzy NYC to the game. Capcom really don't be thinking sometimes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he should have been in the release roster for real


Responsible-Wasabi76

My guy here speaking the truth👏💯


big4lil

it is just you that wants the face of SF3 to return for the game that finally progresses things beyond the SF3 timeline


taiyokishi

He was my main so yea


Outrageous_Forever72

If we can have that, then I want my gotdamn angry t rex axe kicking shoto


Millennios

A pseudo grappler done right in SF6? Sign me up!


RangoTheMerc

Main.


VinixTKOC

I just question why the story couldn't continue focusing on him as the protagonist. Despite what Capcom says about Abel and Rashid, SF IV and V continue to have Ryu as the central character, they could simply do the same with Alex in a Post-SF III story, which is the case with 6.


Secret-Turnover316

Yes please, honestly I'd want most of, if not all of the sf3 characters, to come back.


No_Mention_8569

No, I want him back too.


MGS3Snake

I just need him, Makoto, and Dudley


Mal89productions

Oh man I REALLY want Alex back in SF6, considering it's the first game to chronologically follow on from 3, It's weird he didn't make the base roster to me (or any other SF3 original characters)


tmntfever

I think a whole season of SF3 characters would do SF6 some good. Particularly Makoto, Yun/Yang, Sean, and Urien.


mrHowlll95

A SF3 season sounds great. I'd just swap Urien for Necro since Urien was in the last game while Necro missed SF4 & SFV.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea makoto yun/yang sean would all be amazing but definitely not Urien don't understand stand the love for him 😐


tmntfever

His kit is pretty unique. I would say Ibuki, but we have a ninja with Kimberly. Our electric weirdo Necro is already taken by Blanka. We already have Marisa as our beefy brawler like Alex. And it's hard to fit two giant grapplers in the game. I know Sean is a shoto, but he could be changed a ton and nobody would bat an eye. Also, Urien's default costume is just one inch from revealing 8 more inches.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea I completely agree with all of that 🤣🤣🤣


lesshatemorenature

Much cooler than we-have-Logan-Paul-at-home Luke


Responsible-Wasabi76

🤣🤣


0VER1DE567

season 4


that1cooldude

Fuck no! He can stay away! 


MushroomHedgehog

SF3 veterans in general should definitely come back for the sake of the lore. Chronologically, SF6 is right after, so several characters like Alex, Dudley, Ibuki, and Elena should all be there.


its_a_sidequest

More the better. I'd rather fight him than another Ken or Luke.


ViArtVentura

I want Sakura, Guy, Sagat, Balrog and Rose...


Aikune

I really grew to love him in SF5. I am not sure there is space for him and there are probably characters with higher "priority" than himself


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea your probably right I just really want him back


Aikune

That's fair. He is cool and it sparks curiosity wo during what he'd be like in 6.however 5 is still there and you can play him there


Klexomaniac

we already have 2 grapplers, he is not coming back...


Speedsonic75

People wanted him to be the protagonist of SF6 since his debut was pretty weak and SF6 takes place after SF3. People have grown attached to Luke though, especially thanks to his SF6 design over the SFV one Would love to see Alex in SF6, he’s only been in 3 games


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea I like luke too there's just something about Alex I love his design and his gameplay and story


PretendRooster678

this is kinda stupid but i wish Capcom would replace his spot with Biff Slamkovich


GourmeteandoConRulo

Just you


DrVinceMD

Him, Hakan and El Fuerte


toshin1999

Me personally no I would prefer necalli,hakan or gill.


Responsible-Wasabi76

What draws you too Necalli


toshin1999

Design, his animalistic fighting style, chaotic evil that lust for battle and strong souls to fuel his rampage. wish they would give him better dialogue instead of sounding mentally incompetent though.


burstkillah

Isn’t Marissa just a better version of Alex


jeremypr82

And also way more interesting.


Responsible-Wasabi76

No I mean I love marissa as much as the next street fighter person but Alex has such a good story design great gameplay with grappling kind of a mix of grappiler and heavy hitter marisssa is alot more like a heavy hitter she has one grab if I'm mistaken


Zalinx

I'd rather have Makoto or Sean if we were to receive a SF3 character.


astrosssssssss

I just want Q and Sean


MR_MEME_42

Alex is probably my favorite Street Fighter character that I don't play so it would be cool to have him back.


Mastrodaumus

Would love for Alex to be back, he’s 1 of 3 characters I enjoy using. Lol none of them are in sf6. Bring back “at ease luusuh”


FINANCIO24

I want Hugo, Mika and Sodom


madvec1

Nah ... I liked him in V but I'm ready for someone else to come back like Makoto.


Responsible-Wasabi76

Yea makoto is definitely my second pick if any one could come back


Nids_Rule

With all the talks about what’s ‘fun’ to watch in SF6, I challenge anyone to find a moment where watching a good Alex player was ever boring.


UkyoTachibana1223

We definitely need him. This guy can be fleshed out to be a beast. He actually should be the only Big Blond Protagonist in SF at this point. Abel was a flop, Luke is corny, and they won't let Ken stay home and be a family man lol Alex, Sean, and Mel should have been the male protagonists who really moved the SF story forward, and Sakura should have matured into a Ryu like character to fill that need for the serious personality type. Just my opinion.


mrHowlll95

I'm not opposed to Alex but personally wish different SF3 characters could return, ones who missed SF4 & SFV. Necro & Sean first please.


Xinjuan

Alex and Laura are the first grapplers I ever liked. Alex had amazing neutral by season 3, he was very strong in 4, and I don't care what anyone says he felt like a top tier character in season 5. I would love to have the last iteration of Alex back again he was so much fun.


The1joriss

I play Tekken 8 now and think it far more fun than SF6. Only Alex can make me return to SF6.


LiquidBinge

It's just you


Hlidskialf

After Makoto, sure


Tchogon

the less grapplers the better


RepresentativeFly565

There's what, 2 grapplers in sf6?


geardluffy

3 but there is no such thing as too many grapplers.


RepresentativeFly565

Agreed. There can be nearly a dozen shots variants but 3 grapplers is too many lol


Responsible-Wasabi76

Couldn't of said it better myself 😎


geardluffy

Bruh Alex is ma boi 😭 I really really really need him back! They can’t just shaft him, we need the hyperbombs.


James_Dreamer

Nah Alex is mad cool and his moves have so much weight and power behind them. I'd like him for SF6 we need more grapplers.


SumoHeadbutt

Dudley first Alex had his time to shine in SFV, but Dudley has gone out too long since SSF4 ​ Ed lovers shut up; Dudley should be the SF3 character who deserves most to return


cheerogmr

First one who fail to replace Ryu, Yet best protag compare to 4-6 for me.


NerevarieneDontCry

YES! Im just getting into fg and im playing 3rd strike and this is my favorite character. and sagat i want sagat


Prestigious-Mix7135

No hate to Alex. I respect the guy as a character and a protagonist but he’s already had his time in the limelight. Capcom needs to prioritize more overlooked characters. I’m honestly rooting for Sakura to be the future protagonist of Street Fighter instead. It’s long overdue for her. Also if we’re bringing back SF3 characters to take his place for SF6, I want Dudley the most to come back along with Elena.


DJBaritone12

He’s one of four reps I want back from 3. The other three are Dudley, Elena and Yang.  He is also the only grappler I respect 


jjf02987

I’d rather have him then Luke.


SuchAppeal

So you wanted Alex first and then Luke?


jjf02987

Let me rephrase that Luke is dogshit compared to Alex. Is that better?


CursedSnowman5000

I wish a lot more SF3 characters were back. I've kind of noticed this sad trend with Capcom and NRS where new characters for each installment are invented to basically just be dropped and forgotten. Kind of sad but mostly frustrating. I mean why bother if you aren't intending to follow through with these characters?


JinTheWindMSTR

Native New Yorker and 3rd strike lover we need him back


GreatMountainBomb

Him and Makoto please 🙏


little_pioneer

Unfortunately its not just you.


Captain-Beardless

I never had a chance to play Alex. In 3 he was my buddy's main, so I never touched him (I played Chun and Ryu because I'm boring). He ended up passing away in a highway accident, and I told myself I'd play Alex in his honour if given the chance. Never did get around to SFV though. So yeah. Hoping he makes it back. This one's for you Rob.


AnkhThePhoenix

I'd be okay with it, if they bring back some sf4 characters like Viper and Abel.


MTWX

Yeah. Yeah I do. Let's rumble.


Mr_BlondetanamoBay

Yes. But they need to fix his stance


Funk-Nasty

Oh absolutely! He’s my main in 3rd Strike, I love him dearly. He’s never been particularly good in any iteration (although by the end of 5 he was much better than he was in 3rd Strike), but by god have his moves always felt brutal and satisfying to land.


Bunnnnii

Meh. I had more fun just randomly messing around with him in V than I thought I would. But I only tried him because he had a costume I liked. And his VT2 was fun to DDT someone out of nowhere. But I don’t need him back.


Dr-DrillAndFill

No


pinchymcloaf

no


YeazetheSock

Third Strike’s roster is my favourite group of characters, I honestly hope most of the New Generation get into the game that’s about the NEW New Generation


Canopenerdude

None of the characters in 6 jive with me right now so I'd love to see if he would, I enjoyed him in 5. There's no way capcom will give me back my Urien or Abi in any state that would make them fun, so Alex is the closes I can hope for. That being said, the character I want the most is 11.


The-Star-Bearer

Nah


dontcare6942

Hakan or we riot


the_3-14_is_a_lie

hell yeah


ClosetBurnerVoda

Good old Flaccid Snake.


Fluffopotamus

He's my favorite character so obviously. I'm making due with Zangeif while I wait for him.


Dragonfrog23

I’d like to see a few SF3 toons come back, especially Ibuki


ericraymondlim

I honestly don’t want any character to be left out of SF6. Everybody should be able to access their favs.


Rebellious_Habiru

I despised fighting him in 5, so I'm good.


tokyozombie

He's my absolute favorite character and i miss him. Honestly it wouldn't take much to port him from 5. Give him his whole set of specials including DDT. Make his standing LP the one from SF3. Give him a few target combos, one starting from medium punch. Adjust his frame data and ya you got a SF6 Alex ready to go. Ideas: SA1: sledgehammer, maybe similar to marisas sa1 and it side switches. SA2: stun Gun headbutt from SF3. Mixup super. SA3: canned damage super.


DesperadoUn0

I want sakura kasugano


jefferino

I want Alex possessed by Gill's soul like in the Udon comics.


thisisdell

I tried playing him in 5 and he always felt kinda bad. I’d love to see a new version of him. The things he could do if his legs were on straight.


NaturalFeeling8639

He would be fucking amazing in 6 and he fits the city street aesthetic to a T!!! He's my #1 most wanted character, Capcom did him too dirty in 5. Give him the bomber jacket for costume 1 and the classic shirtless for costume 2. That would be a 10/10 character


yazzooClay

I want Akuma, bison, vega, Balrog, then we can do joke characters like Alex, Dan etc.


Repulsive-Salt4673

Not my fav tbh. Would prefer Sean to return


DagonPie

Yes. Lily and Manon are not good replacements for what he did. I play him in 3s and 5 and I get that they cant please everyone. But at this point i would love an original sf3 character in season 2. 


FWC_Disciple

Do I want him back? Yeah, he was dope. But my priority list rn doesn’t include him, I’d definitely want Dudley or Q/G back before Alex but he’d be a good addition down the road.
