The Strangest Character in Heritage for the Future 

It's interesting how Alessi bullying characters that are weaker than him, while crumpling to those who are stronger than him directly parallels how he is in the show

Khan becoming a cow is a thing from the manga where the anubis sword is broken and one half just sticks to a cow that goes nuts because a freaking sword blade is stuck on its ass

I love how when a character's move description starts with "X pulls out a gun" it's either a bog standard projectile or some of the most bullshit you've ever seen with absolutely 0 in-between.

Capcom was bold for the decision to give him no anti airs, to symbolize that he only attacks those below himself

>Just coming out for a cupcake Holy shit lmao

My favorite part about Alessi is how his posture changes when he turns his opponent into a kid. Cuz he isn't confident when facing against someone stronger than a child. Edit: I guess it is pretty fitting Alessi even on a metagame tier list level is great at bullying people weaker than him (low tiers) but folds spectacularly against people stronger than him. Also the reason Khan turns into a cow is that its a reference to that one cow that Anubis impaled by accident before he fell into the Nile

Funny to see that Happy Chaos' reticle is a JoJo reference

That sub-pixel animation in his idle stance though, incredible

I can actually answer why Alessi was top tier in ventures! friends with potoatoboih who did a bunch of hftf tas, and according to them its a combination of him being one of the few characters with a dashing low, which also loops into itself which gives him an infinite, and also child mode lasts twice as long in ventures.

alessi walked so happy chaos can run

I literally said "oh no" when you mentioned hitbox placement, I should have known he couldn't have proper disjoints even in this silly game

I'm impressed they managed to make his place in the meta match his character so perfectly.

I love how his hitboxes are just "Who the fuck did this?? First fighting game?"

8:38 at the end of the Anubis chapter the sword tries to find a new host. First taking control of a random kid (black polnareff's deaged form) and when the kid trips and drops the sword, with it somehow being thrown at a ox on a boat (khan's deaged form) somewhere which Anubis tries to control it but loses control and is send to the bottom of a river, doomed to rust for eternity.

I love his 236 Super, while the stand is just beating the crap out of the opponent he just stands there and poses Such an expressive character

It's really funny how they gave Alessi, of all characters, a slot. The dude is probably the least popular character in the entire run of the manga. I wonder if it was just to enable Young Joseph. The fact that he ended up being genuinely well-liked as a result is pretty great.

"just coming out for a cupcake" that's fucking crazy dude no way 💀

youngseph's kid mode buttons have better frame data and hitboxes than his regular normals, this is fine

I didn't know that Alessi could extend his shadow by holding S, lmao.

I'm surprised that Alessi's Stand On forward dash bug wasn't mentioned because it's a funny one and I know some people are crazy enough to utilize it in matches from time to time (at least I remember Guruslum using it back in the day). If you time an attack right at the end of the dash, Alessi's attack will either not come out at all or will recover MUCH QUICKER. Now, if you managed to time it so that the move did not come out at all and if you were to plink another normal on the next frame, Alessi would perform TWO ATTACKS AT THE SAME TIME out of his dash WITH REDUCED RECOVERY, one move's recovery cancelling out the other one, resulting in insane advantage on block, possibly leading to extended combos as well. It is frame perfect and as long as you can time another attack on the last frame of previous all of his moves will have reduced recovery. Pretty sure we dubbed it "Genei Jin Alessi" at one point. Really hard to do but very fun to look at.

I love how they just gave alessi a gun. He is one hundred the type to bring a gun to shoot a child

I love putting on your videos while working on my own fighting game. Great video, I would never have really given Alessi any thought before this.

Brother, I was listening along, going 'Alessi is so sick, maybe I should try out Heritage for the Future' and then you hit me with the hurtboxes extending before hitboxes come out. This is the exact issue that made me drop Paprika in TFH after her being my first FG main of over 500 hours played, and it wasn't even that bad for her, mostly affecting hard read moves like cart C. What a crying shame, how do you even hit a shadow 😭

the main big reason he was Top 2 or 3 in venture is based off a few things 1. Most chars dont have dashing crouch attacks in venture,However alessi Not only still has his dashing Crouch normals they are way more plus to the point you can do a Legal loop of 3 dash c 3 dash b>5c>236aa 2.Alessi mode lasts 8 seconds so if you can time your corner meaty you can get like 6 axes which is insane 3.Damage scaling In venture is much less harsh so the combo i mentioned in point 2 does like 65% before child mode is even accounted for (92 damage)

I kinda wonder how much the hurtbox issues are due to the devs wanting him to only be dominant in Alessi mode (and keep a weirdo side villain from beating the main cast like in vanilla).

0:34 ah hell naw 💀

Alessi unironically my favorite character in this game man is a massive shitpost

"Wake up, Babe! New Heritage for the Future video by MrMixtape dropped!"

I'd love to see a video on the Josephs. Such fun characters (that are also bad)

Mad respect for dissecting this game

His hit boxes seem like they are designed for another game entirely. Like they made him last or something while they were making other games.

Always a treat to see one of your vids show up in the notifs. Really like the down-to-the-earth and straightforward nature of the videos and the general pacing of everything.

Goated video for goated character. Also good explanation of the crash reset

Guilty Gear would go on to shamlessly steal half of Alessis moveset for Happy Chaos in 2021 and god bless them for doing it my boy deserved a second chance

Your commentary is so fun to listen to no matter what game you're talking about... really good stuff man. Also apparently I liked your videos so much that RU-vid was showing me them all without being subscribed. Woops.

Alessi mains when dio hits them with the 1 frame link into 1 frame link cancel and they hit one custom combo and now dios the worst character in the game and loses 40% of his hp from 66C

amazing video, i love seeing these analysis videos on some of the least talked about characters, everyone talks about the high or low tiers, but no one talks about the mid tiers, a video on Iggy would be really interesting.

I was REALLY hoping you'd do an Alessi video, super glad to see it.

the guruslum shoutout at the end 🤘‼️ my glorious king 🙏🐐

my dyslexic ass readed "The Strongest Character" 💀💀💀

I love how Alessi is one of a handful of characters who can run, but he can only run backwards, because he's such a coward. Also Rubber Soul video when

yippee yippee yippee my name was said!! (became a member roughly around the time your "MORE best top tiers" vid dropped, keep making amazing content :))

Never heard of this game until today but the sprite work is quite gorgeous and I can tell there is some real depth to the mechanics.

cant believe they put a pro smash player into this game

Love your videos dude, especially on more niche stuff like this! But mainly commenting because Tobacco rules and I popped off a little when I saw some of his stuff lol 14:32

Also Alessi's CC is much harder than Chaka and Joseph, because Alessi is the only active stand character without strings/chain/target combo, this makes him somewhat unique because even as an active stand char, he still plays like passive stand chars on offense, while his stand is mostly used for defensive purpose. If you hate links (newer player or shitass connection), don't play Alessi! lol

Hope you talk about the rest of the characters in this game.

I’ll never get tired of watching videos about a fighting game I love that I only play once year for about 2 hours

I like these character analysis

Every weird transformation off Alessi mode is a reference in the original work. Off my head Hol Horse - The kid J-Gail tried to use to kill Polnareff Mariah - The old lady Joseph encountered while he's magnetised Robber Soul - The guise he assumed Khan - The cow Anubis stabbed while he's trying to save himself from getting thrown into the river Dio - Nukesaku, one of his henchmen Shadow Dio - Wanchan, also his henchmen, and his severed head Dark Polnareff - The kid who got the broken Anubis sword

One of russian online tournaments called slavic clash was won by an alessi player vs jotaro in finals. Just something funny i remember

That quote is insane

The cow is a reference to the cow that Anubis (the spirit inhabiting the blade) gets stuck to near the the end of the arc, after his defeat but before it falls into the river for the rest of time (you can see the blade stuck to the cow's butt). Either that, or it references the cow that Chaka phases through with the blade near the beginning of the arc, but I think that's less likely since the cow is panicking.

Great video!!

Even though the end result isn't very good, you gotta respect the unreal amounts of effort Capcom put in to translate this random ass one off villain from the manga into a fighting game character. I don't think there's a single person that would have cared if Alessi wasn't even on the roster, but he is and Capcom decided they were going to pull out all the stops to preserve his character as faithfully as possible.

I dont care for the character itself but seeing this gameplay might make me consider playing him

Second most based too

VAMOOOOOSSSSS VIDEOOOOO NOVOOOOOOOOO

If you’re open to suggestions I’d like to see a Devo video since he’s one of if not the first ever puppet fighter in fighting games

Now that I think about it, Active Stand characters should've had one particular change about them: The chip damage they would've taken should've hurt the Stand Gauge. This still gives them the No Chip Damage benefit, but there would still be a cost of some kind. If I had some way to have made changes, I would've done that or made it so that your chip damage is halved, but you wouldn't be able to die to chip damage.

tbh i first read the title as "strongest" and i was utterly confused

I think rubber would be an interesting character for you to talk on due to his meta evolving

8:35 in the anime khans sword killed a cow before it possessed him. I think the thought process is that the sword possesses whoever wields it and the cow sort of wielded it here.

Tbh, Alessi being the strangest member of HftF makes sense considering he’s arguably the strangest antagonist in a part already chock full of weirdos. He’s got a really unique kit (too bad it seems to be a mixed bag) and I wonder how that sort of thing would translate to a different fighting game!

the cow is a reference to the blade he's holding being defeated by hitting a cow and falling into a river

12:27 best part

I would love to see you cover gran lue fantasy versus:rising in some way

I like ur videos on this game.

Satan just means adversary

no way they gave this guy a better gun move than hol horse

i love alessi in this game he's so funny he's my favorite character in it

Can we get Young Joseph next?

neat vid

We need a video on Ice if there is none

Irrai, irrai!!

Mfs at Capcom made his gameplay lore accurate lmao.

8:29 and Midler turns into a lawsuit!

haha funny alessi j.b hitbox so silly

You should lowkey how they turned Midler from an absolute nothing burger to an actual character

Wait so does stretching seth make the axe hitbox wider or merely displace it? The framedata is unclear on this

Still don’t know why he was added

Erai ne~

8:45 okay so i went on the wiki, apparently there was a cow that was stabbed by anubis and thats what khan turns into hen hit by alessi mode. its beena while since i watched part 3 so i cant confirm but it would make sense if that piece of metal sticking out of the cows ass was anubis lol

U should make a old joseph video

When did this game come out? Was it just a Japanese release

What shoe's are these 🤔

Edp's main

Ok

community ban rolling ?

Hated this guy in Arcade.

They thought happy chaos did it first but no! It was Alessi! (The gun)

Love playing this game at my locals. It’s a shame the main community discord server for it was a hotbed for racists. Has the community gotten better in recent years?

First

Alessi Mode, alternate name: PEDO INSTALL

Good movie

Alessi turning anubis into the cow kind of makes sense, the cow was the weakest version of anubis we saw in the show. While the broken sword anubis who controlled Polnareff was arguably MORE dangerous as he was a skilled swordsman.
