At 14m10s starts the final match of AlukardNY versus Enigma.

You can watch the matches before this, but after rewatching everything, it appears that Alukard was setting Enigma up for this the whole time!

I am submitting this as a self post because #1 Own3d does not have the ability to do twitch.tv/youtube style time stamps, and #2 for some reason reddit thinks this link has already been submitted...when it matches nothing that has been submitted!

I think reddit is glitched when it comes to Own3d.tv

14m10s of this link:

EDIT: You know what, watch the whole damn clip, such awesome Hagger, Spiderman, and Spencer play!

Alukard is what Yipes called a UOP (pronounced YOO-op), or UnOrganized Player, meaning he makes a lot of questionable (aka bad) decisions. Now I'm not questioning the move he did, but he's not the first to do this, MarlinPie has been doing this a while with Ammy covering Doom/Viper mixups.

This was hype, but here's why I'm personally not a fan of it: it was risky as all hell. he called in his whole team while cornered against a x-factor'd character. That's just ASKing to get blown up.

Normally I'd agree, but it looks like he's pretty familiar with the properties of Iron Man's super. That thing smacks you in the face like you're playin' AE getting wake up EX-shoryu'd and it's a good counter to certain things. Plus, it's ALWAYS good to try and blow up hidden missiles. That assist is evil...And slow.

Dam wtf happened? lol. Team special... xfactor cancel.... rape.

And ok I need someone to tell me. Alpha counter? Heard it a lot. Tried to figure it out on my own. Got nothing.

I don't think there were any alpha counters in this. It's when you press forward and an assist button while blocking, it costs 1 meter and immediately switched in your assist character doing their assist attack. The good thing about it is most people aren't looking for it and it shuts down block strings where the person is just hitting into your block all day, chipping you, and mixing you up - you immediately come in with the assist's assist attack and can combo off of it, and often into 2 characters. Some assists are invulnerable on alpha counter like Ryu's tatsu and Jill's up-kick assists, allowing you to alpha counter them in and combo 2 characters whenever you are blocking and see them on top of you.

Oh then I all ready knew what it was. Just didn't know people called it an alpha counter. Guess people didn't like the name "Cross-over counter" but now the confusion is lifted. Thanks

Yea it's the same thing in SFxT, people will call it 'alpha counter' no matter what you tell them to call it :P
