Now Viewing: alexTag type: Character Alex (アレックス, Arekkusu) is the lead character of Street Fighter III, who was initially designed to substitute series' mainstays Ryu and Ken (who were still included in the released game due to fan demand). According to his back-story in the original Street Fighter III and Street Fighter III 2nd Impact, Alex is an American from New York (given his accent, many assume Alex is from Brooklyn). Alex entered the third World Warrior tournament because its sponsor, Gill, had seriously injured his best friend and mentor/father figure Tom, even though Tom had told him Gill had won fairly. Tom allowed him to go, letting him make his own decision. Alex won every match and then faced Gill. Although he defeated Gill, Alex did not have a chance to kill him, and he went home, to find Tom fully recovered. In Street Fighter III 3rd Strike, Alex senses an unknown urge to continue fighting after experiencing numerous battles against other martial arts masters around the world. Seeking to find a stronger opponent, he goes against his friend Tom's wishes and sets off on a journey. Alex's other fighting appearances were in Capcom Fighting All-Stars, Capcom Fighting Evolution and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. In December 1997 Alex ranked forty-fourth on Gamest' "top 50" list of the best video game characters, tying with Goro Daimon, and in January 1998 was named the twenty-second best character of the preceding year, tying with Ryuji Yamazaki.
