THIS PLAYER MADE ALEX IN THIRD STRIKE LOOK LIKE A TOP TIER 

Much respect to the Alex player there. Chun is borderline-broken in this game, so to do that well is impressive.

The best part of these videos is the moment Justin starts feeling himself, he gets clapped and the editor makes it 10 times funnier

I've always loved Alex. It made sense that Capcom would make their "main character" in "Third Strike" a wrestler because of the uber popularity of the WWF/WCW at the time. He's fun to watch and you root for the lower tier.

As an Alex player myself, that combination at 8:12 was hot. Playing against Chun Li is a very VERY up hill battle. There are a lot of moves that do not work on Chun Li. Even getting to 4-4 is already amazing.

Alex is what draw me to third strike and love playing as him locally

Given some of those chokes at the end, the Alex player was panicking just as much as Justin there.

“You aint doin it! No more parries in 2022” I lold. Its nice to see him in good humor

Gotta give cred to Alex players! Often overlooked, this player shows he's still full of power!!! Great stuff!!!

I wanted to tell you this live on your stream the other day (Cogzero) And just want to say that the reason you're easily my favorite guy to watch play fighting games is that you are the kind of player that I think anyone with enthusiasm, love for fighting games, and dedication can become. I see a player like Diago and I can't help but be put off by his style, but when I see YOU play bro, it's like watching someone play LIKE I WOULD play. Taking gambles, reading your opponent, making in-game adjustments, playing smart, and playing dangerous when you want to get lucky. All of these things I feel anyone can get good at and once upon a time, I was back in the Bronx, making guys spit out quarters just like this but I never got a chance to go down the road of FGC competitor. If I had to choose between being Diago or being you, I'd choose YOU bro, because you LOVE this shit. You play like a man that loves the GAME, and doesn't just like to win. I appreciate that and I am absolutely a lifelong fan. I hope you get to read this man. You are awesome.

Something about Alex makes him such a fun and satisfying character to play.

That Headbutt command grab finish was EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

Really like the sound effects being edited in. Such a simple but effective way to make a set more entertaining to watch 😄

always enjoy watching Justin and Smug...win or lose they have fun! also unlike other players, they don't edit when they get washed.

0:41 - I was like "hmm I wonder who he means" and then you said HolDat - bruh. He's the best Alex I've ever seen. I love watching him play!

Watching him miss those command throws in the last round hurt.

I'm currently c rank thanks to Alex and been at 3rd strike for the past 4 years.... Revival81 my guy..... you are an inspiration to be able to go toe to toe with justin. Imma learn from you.

let's give Alex players more recognition, they really deserve it

WTF ese Alex? Estaba pero terriblemente solido XD , aparte , siempre es tan agradable ver personajes asi y no a los tipicos Yun , Oro , Urien o Ken. Grandes combates sin lugar a dudas.

Things said by Jwong that should be said ABOUT Jwong: "He's laming me out! With a grappler!!"

Props to anyone holding it down with Alex in 3S. Now with that said: Hokuto no Ken 👀👀👀

Awesome set. That ending was quite amazing. Both players really scrambling to get the win.

Love it!! Alex players getting some love!! Keep it coming!!

2022 really is the year where an Alex player puts the fear of God into Chun-Li in 3rd strike

Editor doing work in these vids. Mans keeps my day light with the laughs.

Dang...Ha, that was dope. Another great vid bro. Need some snk vs capcom...2 tho. Its been a while.

Great set this dude got an amazing Alex, he almost took this one from u. Thanks for another video 💪🏾 Also MvC2/Yipes/Commentary/Wong 🙏🏾🙏🏾

That was hype from beginning to end!

GREAT VIDEO LOL THE ENDING!!!

Tough battle. That finisher was fucking magical.

my mans choked hard, didn't confirm after them slashes

That 4-4 match was nerve wrecking to watch

oh man, if you wanna have a high level video for every character that's gonna take a bit. can't imagine there's a ton of twelve or Necro mains lol

6:17 Adon for Street Fighter 6, man.

Wow this Alex player was serious this guy is really good but you beat him in the end Justin good job keep it up this was very close

Holy Moly that last match was so intense 😳

Great to see Alex, one of my favorite characters and awesome set- down to the last pixels of health. So many awesome characters and fun to play characters from SF3 like Dudley, Necro, Q, Hugo and it seems like every character in Third Strike is fun and a bit different with several super arts to choose from.

That was a great match! GG

LOL I was shouting LET'S GO JUSTIN at the end and then you really did it, blessed video. Loved the pop off about The Wall complete with visual imagery. Great editing joke, Queuess lol

That Alex is amazing!!! When I first played sf3 I instantly went to Alex he was so dope but also so bad 😔

Very nice Justin you won this was very close Alex is tough it came down to the wire but you pulled it out

I’m trying to see a runback with this Alex in the future, what a dope set. ggs

That ending was HYPE!!!

Hes laming me out! With a Grappler!! (Not Potemkin) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

14:26 Guard Crush, saw 👀 it coming...

That finale with the stuff of blockbuster movies

Big choke 2 drops in the final round and still almost won

WOW, that was intense :O

Justin almost didn't walk out of that. What a amazing Alex player. These are the matches which is why 3s still is exciting to watch even til this day.

I fucking love the sound effects 😂😂😂😂 made me laugh a lot

I'm so trash at Street Fighter but I can't get enough of your vids Justin! Let's go FGC!

That ending was fun to watch. I threw my fist in the air out of excitement. Lol.

Feels like Neo and Agent Smith in The Matrix movies going toe to toe. Back and forth until Neo just barely takes the win.

That was a hell of a match!

That really is some masterful Alex playing. Alex is my favorite ever SF character. I didn't get SFV until Alex was released, and he's my main (but boy did I suffer for it. My second main, Bison generally does a lot better than Alex). Granted, Alex in SFV isn't exactly top tier either (though the final patch has done wonders for him), but he's at least a lot of fun to play, and at least now we're in an era where there's plenty of channels and resources to learn from, starting with Gunfight and Twisted Rivera.

That overhead at the start was meeeaaaaty 😫

Man about to sit down and learn how to diago parry. I can feel it.

Justin I like more the way you play Street fighter than King of Fighters. It was a blast to see you playing these matches. I still think you were faking your surprise when you were playing Rugal 2nd round in KOF 94 😅 but I am growing to like you. 🤘

Great video justin.

What a fantastic set!!

Amazing ending!

Alex had you sweating! That wake up bird kick was nice.

Love ur content bruvs!!!

really enjoy this fight very much!

Shit like this set is EXACTLY why 3rd strike is the king of street fighters. No other SF can touch the complexity and precision that this game requires for top tier gameplay… LETS GO!!!

You got 1/18 of a Daigo Parry. Hold that for now.

Hold dat putting it on for Alex nation as usual

Wong: "I learned from my mistakes..." 0:08-0:16 Me: You were saying...?😏

Revival is a great Alex player and I love his commentary during the Jazzy Circuit tournies (is that the name?!). Too bad when I search for him, his gamer tag is overshadowed by the ‘third strike revival’ topic on podcasts 😝

If he parried you at the end you might’ve felt the salt until 2023

Bro i love the content. You helped me get my necro game up

" How Did He Get That Jump - In, Bro - How ?! " New Shirt 2022.

Always down to the wire.😅🤘🏽

Woah, you could cut the tension with a knife there. Amazing match.

8:34 Hi FazeDeluxe, from the wonderful world of RU-vid!

i really wish people practiced this game everyday i feel like the meta would be so fun to watch with underdeveloped characters

the bangs and hidden hairline make these hilarious

so rare to see good Alex players

Nice set! Down to the wire.

Another great match killa

You Made the character work.

2017 cooperation cup! I don’t remember the players name but Alex! Comes out of know where to help win. Alex is probably in my top 3 favs of all time in SF. Makoto is my Fav of all time so can we see that next?????

This video was godlike

spinning bird kick finally!

Shiiiiit son that was intense .. let’s go Justin 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I used to play Alex, he is a descent character... his moves are great if used well. Alex has an air grab, so cool, I haven't seen it here.

Justin hit up JR Rodriguez and play his Akuma.

Low tier heroes are always some of the most fun matches to watch. Everyone knows Chun is a god in 3S, butseeing an Alex pop off is hype.

Alex at high level is still so much fun to watch

Woow. That was a fun match! I gotta say tho, i almost, always want the underdog to win. Lol Sorry Justin! I love you, but there is just something avout the underdog story!! Its always a blast to watch your level of play.

Justin 'I learn from my mistakes' Wong

Commenting a lame fighting game pun/joke every day until Justin does the SFEX+α Taru and SFEX3 trials. Day 68: How come this grappler has such fluid movements? He uses tons of *Axel grease* .

0:04 "I learned from my mistakes" Alex still defeats Justin. Well apparently you didn't.

"I got lamed out!" How does it feel, Justin?

Funny thing about those 3rd strike videos: you watch a few of them and you never wanna watch SFV again. The contrast between both games is night and day, even considering how many features they brought back from SFIII into SFV

Ah didn't censor the match in the intro this time

Man in that one game I didn't think you would get lame out when you're the lame out king.

that alex player is so scary mr. wong if you stick into it…massive damage with stun 😅

I love grapplers & I want to get into third strike again. I used to play it when I was younger & would use the shoto characters. But I’ve grown ALOT since then. Being a kid/teen, to now having 3 kids myself. I don’t play the same anymore. I’ve gravitated from playing more flashy, more combo heavy- to more of a damage focused fundamentalist. I’ve grown to love grappler characters, I found a love for King in Tekken 7 & I winded up picking up Zangief in SFV. I want to play 3rd strike but there’s no Zangief & Hugo is so damn Wonky big, I want to learn Alex but every comment says how bad he is. I guess I’m a masochist

If you're interested there's a YT channel called revival (who may or may not be this Alex player) who does really good breakdowns of Alex tech

Serious question. What game has better music, 3rd Strike, MVC2 or SF EX? I can't decide.
