Alex was
undoubtedly an entertaining as a palette swap for Roger in Tekken 2... I
remember he
definitely turned some heads at the arcades back in the day. ;) Something about
a raptor with boxing gloves is just immediately likeable... plus, his face just makes
you want to laugh. But
does he really make sense as a character in Tekken? Of course
he doesn't.... lol. While he had a place in the games he appeared in, he was later replaced with better
comic-relief
designs in the Tekken series.
He's was absent from the fighting game
universe for quite some time, but surprisingly made a cameo in a background of Street
Fighter X Tekken. A short while after that, Namco finally brought him
back in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. The overgrown lizard has definitely
evolved since his earlier appearances, borrowing many moves from Roger
Jr., but also introducing a few of his own. I have to admit he looks pretty
damn cool in TTT2. That graphical shine on his scales is pretty convincing, and
yes... he still turns heads. XD
