\t\t\t\t\tWrestling superstar Kenny Omega also revealed as motion capture actor for the signature moves of the upcoming character<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t <\/p>\n

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\u2122 6. Alex will be the third character coming to Street Fighter 6 Year 3 across PlayStation\u00ae5, PlayStation\u00ae4, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch\u2122 2 on March 17.

\n\u00a0

\nWatch the gameplay trailer showcasing Alex\u2019s new moves on YouTube<\/a> here, and for the latest assets and information on Street Fighter 6, visit the\u00a0Street Fighter 6\u00a0website<\/a> and\u00a0Capcom Press Center<\/a>.

\n\u00a0

\nAlex 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\u2019s in the ring or on the streets.

\n\u00a0

\nAs shown in the gameplay trailer, Alex\u2019s fierce wrestling techniques include:<\/p>\n


\n
\n
\n\tFlash 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.
\n\tFlash 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.
\n\tAerial Knee Smash: A fantastic anti-air technique as Alex jumps into the air and slams his opponent into the ground with his knee.
\n\tPower Bomb: Alex\u2019s signature move comes with light, medium, and heavy variations, which all deal the same damage while offering other unique benefits.
\n\tProwler 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\u2019ll transition into Flying Suplex, Death Valley Bomb, and Spiral DDT respectively.
\n\tRaging Spear: Alex\u2019s 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.
\n\tSledgecross Hammer: Alex\u2019s 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.
\n\tOmega 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\u2019s \u00a0motion capture for Alex!
\n\tThe Final Prison: Alex\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.
\n
\nAlex 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\u2019s 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\u2019s theme song \u201cGO! ALEX! Hope is Born!\u201d composed by anime song super band JAM Project, which can be heard in the gameplay trailer.

\n\u00a0

\nAlex 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.
