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.

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.
