In a shocking twist, Capcom's latest teaser trailer for Street Fighter 6 introduces Alex as a villainous figure, a stark contrast to his previous roles. But is this new direction a hit or a miss?
The trailer, released by Ollie Reynolds, showcases Alex's transformation into 'The Man With No Allies,' a far cry from his earlier portrayals. This time, he's not holding back, taunting his opponent and even rebuking the cheering crowd. It's a bold move that will undoubtedly spark debates among fans.
Visually, Alex's design has improved since his Street Fighter V days, which is a relief to many fans. However, the jury is still out on whether this new look is a hit or a miss.
While the trailer doesn't reveal an exact release date, it hints at an 'Early Spring' launch, possibly in March. Alex is set to join the already announced Sagat and C. Viper in the Year 3 Character/Ultimate Pass, with Ingrid's debut also on the horizon.
Street Fighter 6 has been a critical success, scoring a 9/10 in our review and even making it to our Game of the Year list for 2025. The game's crisp and clean gameplay has captivated players, and the addition of Alex will undoubtedly stir up excitement and controversy.
