Street Fighter 6 fans, get ready for a thrilling reveal! The iconic fighter Alex is coming back, and the game's director, Takayuki Nakayama, is giving us a sneak peek at his new look. But this isn't just any ordinary character reveal...
Alex, the fan-favorite grappler, will be making his grand entrance as a DLC fighter on March 17, 2026, marking the third addition to Season 3. And here's where it gets exciting: Nakayama has been teasing fans with glimpses of Alex's design on his X page, building anticipation for the character's return.
One of the most iconic moves in Alex's arsenal, the Flash Chop, is confirmed to be making a comeback, and it promises to be more powerful than ever. Capcom clearly understands the love fans have for this move, as evidenced by its inclusion in the concept art. But here's where it gets controversial—some fans might argue that bringing back old moves lacks creativity. Is it a nod to the character's legacy, or a lack of innovation? You decide.
The concept art reveals more than just Alex's signature move. In one sketch, we see him adjusting his hoodie, a subtle detail that hints at a potential new look, although his eyes remain hidden. The redesigned outfit is a fresh take on his classic appearance, but players will also have the option to choose his nostalgic costume, catering to those who prefer the original style.
So, what do you think of Alex's return? Are you excited to see his new moves and costume? Or do you prefer the classic look and feel? Let us know in the comments, and don't forget to check out the full-size concept art images below!
