We’re back after the first weekend with Alex, and we hope everyone had a blast landing V-Trigger parries and standing roundhouse crush counters–seriously, that’s a satisfying hit to connect. We’ve got more Alex videos for you today, as well as a smattering of other tech tidbits, so let’s get started!

If you’ve still not given Alex a go for yourself, you’re likely looking for a place to pick up some important, basic information to help get things going. We kick off today’s roundup with a video from pdcsky that fits just that description.

The perfect pairing for a basic breakdown of the new character is a long, slow look at the hitboxes and hurtboxes tied to everything the fighter brings to the table, which Overheat’s GameTime put together.

One thing we know for sure about Alex is he loves a good trade. To demonstrate yet another way for the new fighter to take advantage of this sort of situation, Sebastian Rikk offers up these follow-ups to lariat trades which converts into massive damage and stun output.

In the third part of the sixth episode of Shadowloo Bootcamp, which you’ll find next in the roundup, host Ricardo “Mono” Roman discusses how to go about properly zoning opponents with F.A.N.G.

As companion pieces to this video, Mono and the folks at GamersGrid TV have also been uploading some long match sets to help show the tactics demonstrated in the Shadowloo Bootcamp videos in action.

Of course, a roundup just wouldn’t be a roundup without a couple of combo videos. Today, neekogaming and Dark Chaotix offer up some practical combo exhibitions for F.A.N.G and Birdie, respectively.

We wrap things up today with some more gameplay footage from THE COOL KID93. We’ve already seen close looks at their take on Rashid and Zangief, and their ability to pick up Alex and just go with it looks to be impressive so far. If you’re interested in seeing some technology akin to what we’ve been featuring in these roundups in action, be sure to give the video a look.

The sixth episode of The Jump-In podcast starring hosts Kim1234, ShadyK and Logan Sama recently made its way to YouTube. In spite of being recorded before the proper release of Alex, the guys have plenty to talk about with regard not only to how he looks–let’s face it, his hair and posture are pretty suspect–but also how they anticipate his play style to work into the game as a whole. This works as an excellent segue into some insights about how trial periods for new characters may be a smart option for Capcom to offer moving forward, even once the in-game store and premium currency become available.

Of course, DLC characters aren’t the only topic up for discussion. The guys make sure to offer their opinions (praise) for NorCal Regionals’ infamous Death Pool as well. They wrap up the episode with an interesting look into how the prospect of gambling could impact the future of the fighting genre in the event that it becomes more widespread than simple on-site side betting.

It’s definitely an interesting ninety minutes, and if you’re looking to get the scoop on these and other recent fighting game community goings-on, be sure to check out the full episode below.
