Actually Hitomi is fast, she can crush any speed advantage Alpha has (at least my bf was able to) ... and Alpha's parries MISS an assortment of Hitomi's moves completely after the teleport and she gets no damage from it at all and is set up for a hit. I've gotten hands from Hitomi before, but based on how your approach would be, I think I'm more than confident your strategy wouldn't work.
I've put up with Alpha haters for a long time, and I don't know why. Their voice in the whole thing really meant nothing, the character won a ton of tournaments, she was never banned, and before NEC 13 people said she was the worst character in the game when she was perhaps the best. So whatever the case may be, she made the roster more unique, IMO, more so than your Hitomi and Jann Lee (nothing against those two) and it's too bad she won't continue to be in the game.
Hitomi's fastest mid is 13 frames.....She's not fast. Being aggressive with her is usually a bad idea, and its an even worse idea against Alpha. You absolutely have to play the whiff punishment game against Alpha who's only main advantage is raw speed.
