I'm playing SF3:3rd Strike Online, and I want to main Alex. Does anyone have any tips for a budding Alex mainer?

Huh.
Well, the main thing to know about playing Alex is to have good decision making.
The same sort of decision making that has you:
Saying something about your general skill level when asking for tips.
I mean, it makes a huge difference if your fundamentals are good or not, such as knowing how to hit confirm.
Asking someplace where people actually know the game, such as Shoryuken, instead of someplace random like here.
Seriously. So many people play games on easy around here, a developed and complex game like SF3 is a minefield for bad advice.
Knowing that Alex is low tier ... as such, there aren't many Alex specialists, but the people who do main Alex are more likely to help other Alex players. But, you're going to have to be not terrible before their advice will make sense.
The only guy I know of who still mains a killer Alex is Renic, though.

He's better at countering and reacting to attacks than making them. Learn to parry well and like a good conversation - listen to your opponent. Counter, parry, parry, block, counter. Keep doing those until you can do a special attack, then use it to get in a hit and gain the upper hand then go back to countering.
You could try reading this for some general advice.

Beside that, it is hard to give advice without knowing how adept at the game you are. Also, try checking the Shoryuken forums.
Also, learn the fundamentals before you learn anything else. You need to be very solid at the basics before you start trying to get fancy. Ideally, you should be able to win matches using only normals.

Not great at 3rd strike so cant help a lot but he seems to be a strong fundamental character that relies on a lot of good reads and acting on them, I would also check Shoryuken for advice they are pretty good on Capcom games especially.
This guy has also done a week of 3rd striking with Alex I found it quite entertaining not sure if you will but still at least it gives you some idea of what to expect when using him.
The youtube name is Miles923 if you want to watch the rest, im trying to figure out Elena personally.
