Capcom has announced that Alex, a wrestler who debuted in 1997 in Street Fighter III: New Generation, will join Street Fighter 6 in March as the newest playable character. Known as "The Man Without Allies," Alex brings an updated moveset that includes new stances, over 10 throws, and sumo wrestling techniques. Alex’s new moves include: Flash Axe: A quick attack with light and medium variations. The light version is effective for combos, while the medium version transitions to Prowler Stance. Flash Chop: A heavy attack that sets opponents up for Power Bomb or Oblique Stomp. The Overdrive (OD) version allows Alex to transition to Prowler Stance. Aerial Knee Smash: A jumping knee slam that serves as a strong anti-air move. Power Bomb: Alex's signature move, with light, medium, and heavy versions that all deal the same damage but offer unique advantages. Prowler Stance: A stance that prevents blocking but offers 11 follow-up options, including Sweep Combination, Hyper Takedown, Dangerous Armlock (transitioning to Flying Suplex), Death Valley Bomb, and Spiral DDT. Raging Spear: A Level 1 Super Art that is invincible at the start against strikes and throws and can be used in combos.
Street Fighter 6 Introduces New Character Alex with Sledgecross Hammer and Omega Wing Buster
Sledgecross Hammer: A Level 2 Super Art that crushes opponents and loops walls if an airborne foe is caught. It is also invincible against projectiles. Omega Wing Buster: Another Level 2 Super Art that can be performed after an OD Power Drop. Kenny Omega performed the motion capture for this move. The Final Prison: A Level 3 Super Art with four possible animations. These include normal, knockout, Critical Art (CA) normal, and CA knockout finishes. Players with the Year 3 Character Pass or Year 3 Ultimate Pass can unlock Alex on March 17. His first outfit, Dark Devil, reflects his wrestling persona. Outfit 2 showcases a classic Street Fighter III street style. Alex joins Sagat and C. Viper in Year 3, with Ingrid arriving in Fall 2025 to complete the roster.

Game info
- Official Name
- Capcom Fighting All-Stars
- Brief Summary
- The shadow of fear was approaching Metro City. A man only known as Death, was running around Metro City with a bomb. The bomb was codenamed "Laughter Sun". Mayor Mike Haggar contacted the characters listed above in order to locate and defeat Death and then defuse the bomb. Codes were needed to disarm the bomb, and that is where the Code Holders subtitle of the game comes into play. D.D. and his teammates, Rook and Ingrid, were the Code Holders. Their codes are Ogre, Fallen Angel, and Isis. The game had a time limit, and depending of how long the player took to finish the game, the ending would vary. Originally, Capcom Fighting All-Stars was planned to be a 2D sequel to Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, before being converted to 3D. However, due to SNK's financial troubles and restructuring, the title was redesigned as a Capcom-only crossover with twenty former SNK members designing it, using the models previously built for the original title. Like SNK's KOF: Maximum Impact games, it was designed to translate a 2D fighting game series into 3D. This was done previously in the Street Fighter EX series, which Capcom co-produced with Arika. Capcom beta-tested the game, but after negative feedback from players and more months in development, the game was canceled in August 2003. According to an interview with former The King of Fighters director Toyohisa Tanabe, a secret character from Tanabe's old company (SNK) was set to be playable in Capcom Fighting All Stars.. While not confirmed, the figure bears a heavy resemblance to K' or Kyo Kusanagi.
