Season 3 for Street Fighter 6 gets it’s next update soon as Capcom has shown off Alex in a teaser trailer. First debuting in Street Fighter 3, Alex was the protagonist for the Street Fighter 3 series. While that series was polarizing at first, Alex has become a fan favorite for the franchise as time went on.

In past games Alex has been a hybrid between a Grappler and a Brawler. He combines a wrestling style that’ll look similar to Zangief at first glance but with more emphasis on strikes than throws. What’s interesting about Alex this time around is that as a wrestler, he’s usually been a good guy. Yet it appears he’s playing the role of the heel this time. It’ll be interesting if this will impact his game play. Perhaps we’ll see some heel wrestler moves such as low blows or eye rakes this time around.
If Capcom follows their usual schedule, a full gameplay trailer for Alex should come next month along with an official release date. As for now, he’s slated for an early spring release. This is likely mid to late March as that will be after Capcom Cup has ended on March 15th.

I’m personally excited to play Alex more than anyone else in the cast. I’ve always liked the character and have been wanting another brawler that compliments Marisa who has been the games only dedicated brawler tank type since launch.
In case you’ve missed it, Alex’s reveal trailer can be reviewed below.
