One of Alex’s best tools to close space and cover ground quickly in Street Fighter V is his Slash Elbow. However, a strange bug has been discovered that prevents him from doing this move after landing an Air Knee Smash on his opponent.

In the video below, Monokeros demonstrates the bug, showing that while Alex cannot perform his Slash Elbow, he can still perform moves such as Air Stampede and Head Crush. With both of the latter being down-charge moves, while slash Elbow requiring a back-charge instead, the theory is that landing Air Knee Smash somehow makes the game reset the timing on the back charge. This is supported by the fact that by holding back long enough after the animation from Air Knee Smash’s recovery ends, Alex is able to finally pull off a Slash Elbow.
