==Summary==
Alex is a playable character in the Street Fighter series, and the protagonist of the Street Fighter III games. He is a professional wrestler who lives day-by-day out of his trailer house in New York, which he never left and has no interest in doing so. His day is spent between construction jobs, wrestling events and training. Tom, Alex's mentor and a friend of his father, is worried about him, as he always keeps his emotions in check, isn't very talkative and lacks sensitivity, which makes it seem he lacks a true purpose in his life, although things apparently started to change after his meeting with Dhalsim.
Despite his reserved attitude, Alex is kind-hearted and possesses a strong sense of justice. Such traits manifested the day Tom was badly beaten by a mysterious fighter, which pushed Alex to enter the fourth World Tournament and claim revenge for his friend, even though he was being told by Tom himself that he had been defeated in a fair fight. It is unknown how the things truly went from that point, but after the tournament Alex returned home, and his rage subsided once he noticed Tom had fully recovered. The true achievement of his journey was the newly rediscovered joy of fighting, especially against worthy and varied opponents that can help him improve as a fighter. The last known thing about him is that he met the famous Ryu, whom Alex looked for due to his fame as a warrior. Alex couldn't defeat him, in fact he was easily defeated, but this loss only filled him with excitement at the prospect of challenging Ryu again one day, this time as equals.
He weights 111 kg, is 1.95 meters tall, likes training and his family, and dislikes broccoli and people who cause troubles.Shadaloo C.R.I. - Character Guide 158: Alex

Weaknesses: Used to jump to conclusions too early in SFV, although it is unknown if it's still valid for his SFIII self.
Note: 
*Alex's victory against Gill is only considered as "possibly" because of the lack of solid evidences and details.
*Due to the questionable canonicity of the SFV Arcade Endings, Alex's victory against Zangief may have not actually occurred in-canon, although it wouldn't be inconsistent with the overall depiction of Alex's strength.

*Martial Arts: As an expert wrestler and kickboxer, Alex is a versatile fighter able to alternate between heavy strikes and devastating throws. It can be said that one of Alex's most dangerous weapons is the ground itself, as his opponents often have their head, face and upper back violently and repeteadly slammed down. Several of his wrestling techniques are classic staples of the discipline, such as suplexes, power bombs, lariats, and more. On the other side, his training in kickboxing has made him able to employ his whole body in combat; punches and kicks are supported by elbows, knees, open-hand strikes, tackles and headbutts. Thanks to his large physique, Alex possesses great reach, and is comfortable at fighting while standing, crouching and even in the air. He lacks ranged options to fight from a distance, but with his unusual mobility and footwork, he can quickly close the distance by sliding forward withouth having to build momentum. He also possesses an excellent defense, especially with techniques such as Sledge Hammer. Alex isn't a brute either, instead he is prone at studying the opponent and learning from them to exploit their weaknesses and improve himself. Those who underestimate Alex will ultimately end up with more than just bruises, and would probably have to pull themselves out of the ground they've been driven into.

*Acrobatics: The air is Alex's second home. In spite of his size, Alex is very agile and has no troubles attacking an airborne opponent, or assaulting them with jumping attacks. He can even alter his own momentum in mid-air, showed by techniques such as Flying Cross Chop, Air Knee Smash, Air Stampede and Heavy Hammer. These movements are especially useful when he needs to increase the force of an attack, dodge projectiles, reach a distant opponent. Alex can also perform a backflip to land safely on his feet when hit by lighter attacks during a jump. Similarly, he can roll backwards upon touching the ground and return in position, ready to keep on fighting.
