Cancels! I just discovered them too!

Hey, in 3rd Strike he seemed over it. He was just going around lifting rocks and crushing leaves with his eyes closed.

Toward-fierce is a pretty dope AA. Though Ryu's jLK laughs at it.
And he's +4 after EX Knee, dash, lol.

First practice comboing medium punch into hadoken.
Don't wait for the MP to end before doing the hadoken motion. Do the motion just as the MP hits, you have to cancel the MP into a hadoken for it to combo.
=/
I can't seem to get #7. In fact, I have execution issues with combos that have like a medium to a light to special. Like, I can't get the special to come out with the light effectively. So for example, Alex's 7 is Flying Crosschop > MP > LP > L Flash > Super.
The bolded just doesn't come out. =/ I get concerned with making the MP > LP link and either I'm too late on the buffer or too early causing me to hit c.mp.
Crazy part is that this is the most beginner friendly SF has ever been. SF4 was a nightmare getting in to. It takes a lot of practice to get used to cancelling in to special moves, hell after all the time I've spent playing SF4 and now SF5 I'm still constantly dropping combos.
It was hard coming from Injustice/MK because normals link a lot easier in there while in SF there tends to be specific timings to input commands for everything. The most consistent timing is to input the next attack as soon as the previous one connects. Cancelling you're basically inputting the special as soon as the attack you want to cancel is animating.
Yeah 3rd Strike is the one exception. Akuma's bored of Ryu in 3S because Ryu overcame the Satsui no Hado. I was so glad they finally dropped that storyline only for them to bring it back in SF4.
Easiest way to get timing right is to use negative edge. Press and hold the standing medium punch at the appropriate place in the combo, then do the hadouken motion and release the medium punch button as you complete the motion. That'll get you the timing for when to hit the button if you'd like or you can just stick to negative edge, if that works for you.
Try holding the attack button down after doing the Flash motion instead of releasing it, that should help buffer it a little.

How did y'all non canceling weirdos even play this game ;P?
Cancel the mp right when it hits, so buffer the hadoken motion while the medium punch is starting up, then press punch again when the mp hits.

Well SF4 takes place before 3S so it makes sense that is was in SF4.
Yeah I suck at those too. I usually end up mashing those links and they usually work after few tries.
come shout at a noob who doesn't know how to play street fighter: https://www.twitch.tv/kyonashi
or just explain why im not doing trials right
Oh I know, but I'm just not a fan of that storyline.

Man, I really like Alex in SF5, his HCB+P being a follow-up also for the suplex grab is fine seeing as SF3 could let you turn the opponent's back to you using any character.
Also Cr. HP can be followed up with a few moves is neat considering the juggle in SF3 was strict with it XP
Not liking his overall design but I'll get over it.

Survival opponents are fixed, so Alex and all future characters won't show up unless Capcom updates the mode.
Speaking of survival, I noticed that they nerfed the input reading AI a lot. Just cleared 4 normal survivals and ended up perfecting both Necali and Bison everytime

I'm just annoyed that there aren't shop colours for the story mode alts, that way I could have spared myself going through easy and normal survival to get some color choices <_<

Someone give me their CFN and I'll shoot them an invite. Need to practice my Alex.

Are there any additional required updates for today's content drop or was everything covered in the Monday update?
Mika is such a pain to do survival with, her mixups don't really mean much when the AI just reads your inputs. I beat it on normal for her a while back and it was by far the hardest one I did. I lost to Bison like 6 times.
And yeah, the colors being for the defaults only is a bummer.

Thank you, I asked myself the same question.

Yeah, SF4 is a step back from 3S in every single way, so why not that, too?

Hope this is true. Still need to clear a bunch of Hard and Hell one time.

Thank god, oneshotted both easy and normal with Karin, representing my Finnish brothers and sisters with the story dress in white and blue
No one has told her about pants. She just assumes they're a part of the people who have them.
Currently doing survival on Stage 24.. from 25 CPU goes HAM so I hope it is correct
Edit: Yep Normal is now easier WTH

The best part of this update is that The Grid is now canon. :V
100%ed all the trials pretty quick. As far as execution goes, they're roughly on par with MvC3 in difficulty, but since the combos are so much shorter here they're much easier overall.
Anyway, is there a comprehensive list of what can be bought with Fight Money, Zenny, or either? I think I'd rather spend my FM on stuff that can only be bought with FM, since that grind is going to get stupid once I run out of characters to run through Normal survival.

Titles - 5K each
Color 11 - 10k per character
Color 12 - 2K per character
Color 13 - 5 per character
Story costumes - 40k per character
Characters - 100k each

and a story mode and survival
you can recoup a good amount of FM even if you spend it on him
I've played tons of fighting games over the years and rarely did so 'seriously'. But that doesn't mean I don't think of Ukyo from Samurai Shodown as my main in that game, same with Butt in Garou, Mukuro in LB2, the list goes on for miles. I obviously never played Alex in tournaments but he was my guy in SF3. And I liked him so much that I moved on to E.Honda and Abel in SF4 since they seemed like the closest substitutes. He has always been by far my most wanted character and I'm not some bandwagoner. I'm sure there's others like me because he was a cool character with a unique moveset, and of course some of the most memorable voice clips in fighters. I mean Q has an even louder fanbase even though he wasn't exactly competitive either.
Don't know if I'll stick with Alex of course, my playstyle has changed a lot over the years and this is a different game than SF3. But I don't think him being low tier or whatever would dissuade me immediately. Not that SF5 even seems to have a low tier, as you said it's impressive how balanced the game is already.

You misunderstand. I'm asking what I can buy with FM that I can't buy with Zenny.
It's unclear since the Zenny part of the shop hasn't launched.

Hmm what if you beat everything with Alex but don't buy him do you lose the FM
The Story Costumes are the only things AFAIK, but considering they haven't put up things that cost Zenny yet, you're better off waiting.

How sure are you? Because I think you read my question backwards.

This is hard. So far the most success I've had was with the negative edge and I was able to pass the challenge but I'm repeating it and trying to do it consistently. Thanks for the help.
You're right. I apparently dyslexia because I read that as what can I buy with Zenny that I can't buy with FM.
I think Premium costumes are the only thing they've said won't be purchasable with FM.
It's dumb- it's based off a prior outfit from a game ending where she has a skirt to go along with the jacket.
