No. They added her for the ratchets. Only ratchets use Alpha-152.
A character like this could never be tournament approved anyways.
Alpha 152 concerns?

Why not? There's nothing about her that's outside the normal scope of ability for other characters. She's an outrageously extremely lopsided character (as in strikes-holds-throws-wise), but she's not broken.

You're right and I just realized there's like 500 titles, holy shit... since almost no one will have her unlocked I guess she'll be majorly nerfed. A worthy replacement for Tengu

This could just be optimistic but the achievement my just be gotten by unlocking her and getting all the titles rather than unlocking her by getting all the titles per say. But it's probably what you guys are thinking in which case I want to say I'm in no rush to unlock her but I honestly want to see what they do with her in this game, so I'll have to make it a priority.

I think that's just for unlocking that achievement. There is no way they would make it so hard to unlock a character. Basically, she is needed to unlock that achievement and not the other way around.

I hope you're wrong, too. I don't want to have to go through all that work just to get my main playable, not to mention then having to run Arcade and Time Attack for her colors. Also...
Explain to me how she could never be tournament approved? There's nothing that sets her aside from the rest of the cast. She just looks and plays differently. And...
Nononononononono anything but this. Do not nerf her AGAIN. She already sucked in Dimensions :<You're right and I just realized there's like 500 titles, holy shit... since almost no one will have her unlocked I guess she'll be majorly nerfed. A worthy replacement for Tengu

I for one want her to be Helena tier. >> Better for the tourney people, and better for us non-acheivement hunters.

How is that better for the tourney people? That just means one less viable character. xD

Well, imagine you're practicing for a tournament and want to practice the 152 matchup. Either you have to acheivement hunt every title, or you have to Modio your gamesave. And even worse, the tournament hosts...can you imagine getting 500 titles on every console just to play the tourney?
This is precisely why fighting games need to stop having unlockable characters. Alpha-152 and everyone else should be available at the start.

Im just sayin that cuz I don't like her and could care less if she's playable or not >_> Fighting against her online in Dimensions was pretty easy giving that her counters were weak.

The only concern I have about Alpha 152 has been stated several times in this thread: her unlock conditions. If you need to get all the titles to unlock her, I could see her being banned simply because of shear unfamiliarity. If no one has the bitch, how is anyone gonna have any match up experience?

Unlockable characters are ok, with either easy requirements or a way out. But it is overly a pain in the ass. Especially with a requirement like this one...

I hope Alpha get some better counters and doesnt have the annoying floating animation after a long combo.
