Forgot to save the replay but a while back (pre-patch) i teleported from a downed stance in the corner of the sweat stage vs mila. I was mashing buttons while downed and suddenly Alpha teleported behind her! I've been trying to find the hidden command for it by training with the CPU but have been unsuccessful in doing so.

You can do that when downed against a wall.
That kick is when she spins low AFTER the jump kick right? I don't use it often.
And that combo you mentioned is always fun... I think it's 9 hits and you can finish with
+... most people usually try to attack in the middle if they don't know alpha well.

Really?
I've never teled from neutral or when falling. Only from back down against a wall.
The when falling one would be quite useful, as getting cornered into a wall really stinks. XD
A lot of her moves are modeled after Kasumi, but hayabusa has the teleports from neutral. (Though I have no clue how to use them since I'm not a ninja player)

Yeah, the AI just teleports from neutral all the time. It would be such a helpful thing if it's possible, I just can't figure out how to do it at all. If she could teleport behind the opponent from the floor that would be useful too. I was fighting a Mila earlier and he just cornered me and there is NOTHING Alpha can do to get up safely.

Oh from her offensive hold charge?... ewww
Doesn't low punching work? Or jumping? Usually air moves are safe from OH. Can't say I've tried against it. Alphas lack of any ground game can mean pretty much game over from one knock down, which is kinda sad. If there was a way out of that, it'd be amazing. Though then she might be closer top tier, haha.
I'd love to hear about it.

She has that one kick that Kasumi has as well, but that requires you to be facing down with your head toward the opponent, which is useful but far too situational.
I wouldn't mind if she could just teleport from the floor to behind the opponent or something, it's just impossible to get up safely as Alpha, which is my only gripe thus far. Otherwise she's pretty good.

Final mode Alpha does, but not the version you can play as. The AI was doing it in versus. If you just stand there away from her, she'll teleport around like she did in DOA4 waiting for you to do something. But my thinking is surely if the AI is doing something with a character, it should be possible to actually do?
I consulted with my brother, who plays Ryu, and tried all the teleport inputs from him but they don't work with Alpha. Unless you can cancel certain moves to teleport in a direction, instead of just down?

Technically this isn't a secret move but I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, since the v1.02 patch Alpha's hits mid instead of high. It did used to hit high didn't it? I never used it, and even with this tiny buff it's still mostly useless. Anyway I wonder if anything else was changed

I've managed to teleport off the wall as well, although I didn't save the match and can't remember if it was a Tech Roll or something else. If we can figure out how to do that specifically, that would be a damn good way of relieving Alpha of being slaughtered when she's knoced into a corner. That is by far and away one of her glaring weaknesses, so having that would make cornered situations less of a panic zone.
