Alex Tidbits - Crouch Short and Target Combos | Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

Another small video going over the uses of Alex's crouching LK, its target combos, and a confirm from it to SA2.
I wanted to use a different song for this video but it went on too long and I wasn't gonna loop that for nearly five minutes straight.

hitting the clk into cmk is freaking impossible to do consistently. Many years later and i still dont have the timing for it.

[@scaleitback1055]

I plink the mk off lk to try to give myself the input coverage. It’s a 1 frame window from what I understand, but the plink gets me to hit it consistently.

It's about a 2 or 3 frame window at most. I've been practicing it lately and I mostly just memorize the rhythm of it. I hear the sound in my head and goes 'one, two'
The lk into hk is the same but it's just a much later timing. I always feel like I'm going to be too late when I do it.

@@SpitShineT0mmy just wanted to say you have provided amazing info on Alex, so thank you so much for your efforts. Like you say, every little bit counts!

Not that bad, try utilizing the double tap technique for the mk if you must

[@MKDvlad]

The way I found that gives me 95% consistency is to not hold down the whole time but return to neutral I between lk and mk. So c.lk > neutral > c.mk. I find the timing to tapping down is just the right amount to get it consistent.
