The only problem is that most people can't juggle alpha. No matter who I see fightin' her, they're never capable of juggling featherweight. Alpha has soo many weaknesses. You just have to play differently than usual (which isn't easy). Once you know her weaknesses you'll win easily
Yeah, no one can juggle her because no one practices against the only feather weight in the game. Not that that matters so much since you still get crazy damage any way. Until she can actually crush Gen fu or Ayane, I'll wait to call her OP. She's top tier sure. So is Rachel, Helena, and Jann Lee. Gen fu and Ayane are there or above her.
I wouldnt call her top tier. I mean, no wakeup kicks (bar the unique one), no good normal counters and a moveset that even my Grandma can predict...
I dont think it adds up to top tier, but maybe higher mid
If anyone is losing to a genfu that isn't mine or a few other people their playing him wrong. Genfu isn't utilized properly by most people to claim he should be banned. Alpha has 3 cbs stupid strings that get to threshold fast and a grab that kills you. The no wake up kick sucks but when you play my genfu you dont get a wake up kick anyway.
Alpha had her era lol. And most genfus dont use him right lol. Im the reason genfu is dominating. But alpha can get in much easier. Her mashy strings get to threshold fast and with 3bs and a throw that does a lot of damage......man.
I have nothin against gen fu but he really is the definition of OP and broken. alphas strength is compensated for her featherweight, no wake up kicks, and useless holds. gen fu on the other hand....
Then you missed calibur bladez use alpha at nec and final round. Not to mention he uses her at every tournament. Hell lopedo used her at tfc as well. Genfu is not that broken katanateen. If youre losing to any genfu but mine and like 2 people youre doing it wrong.
I probably am doing it wrong. I feel as if he can swing for ages. has very strong counters and grabs.. and has good range. it's just my opinion though maybe there is a way of getting around him.. I have found it yet.
I honestly and truly don't care about gen fu no one I really know uses him, unless they're just desperate to beat me. if there's anyone I hate it's jan lee. but that a whole 'nother topic.
Yes we def need to get together and ban her out. She's just outright broken and the rest of the cast can't keep up. Yeah she's "easy" to beat but in the long run she's not. Her special grab does like 70% on an easy guess plus she has 3 critical burst, non-stop mashing strings, a sick catch throw, the best neutral game from distance, and not to mention she's relatively safe.
You guys that are saying Alpha isn't that bad really need to play against a competent alpha lol. Might as well get a thread going explaining why she should be banned later on.
Who is this mythical alpha player you keep speaking of? the only one I seen play her competitively is xcalibur blades and he pretty much dropped her for Christie and Rachel.
