Alex Joins Street Fighter 6 as the Latest Character Addition for Year 3

Alex Joins Street Fighter 6

On March 17, 2026, the world of Street Fighter expanded with the addition of the iconic character Alex from Street Fighter III: New Generation. Known for his powerful wrestling moves and grappling techniques, Alex is now available in multiple modes of Street Fighter 6, including World Tour, Battle Hub, and Fighting Ground.

In the World Tour mode, players can encounter Alex as a mentor. Those who engage with him will not only learn his signature special moves but also deepen their bond through various missions and rewards. To meet Alex, players need to complete specific preconditions:
1. Clear Chapter 7-6 in the Novice League main tournament.
2. Access Wrestle Metro under the “OTHER DAYS” menu.

Once players have acquired new techniques and emotes from Alex, they can take their skills to the Battle Hub to compete against fighters globally.

Fighting Ground Highlights

Within the Fighting Ground, players can dive into Alex's narrative through the newly added Arcade mode. Engage in strategic battles against a variety of opponents in both Versus and Ranked Matches, showcasing the depth of this skilled wrestler.

Additionally, along with the character release, Alex's Outfit 2 is now available for purchase. This outfit pays homage to his original appearance in Street Fighter III, featuring green overalls and a red bandana, perfect for throwing foes across the screen! Players can also unlock this outfit in the World Tour by meeting specific conditions.

In an exciting addition, professional wrestling superstar Kenny Omega was involved in motion-capture filming for Alex's movements, and a making-of video is now available. Witness the behind-the-scenes moments that brought Alex's iconic moves to life!
