Baptiste (Overwatch) [70] [71] [72] [73]

Since his introduction, Baptiste has been praised as a character. Brando Simeo Starkey in an article for Andscape praised how well Overwatch represented black male characters, and felt of them Baptiste as "perhaps the most alluring" and "perhaps most culturally significant" due to his Haitian heritage and use of his native language. Starkey further emphasized that the culture tended to be overlooked in video games, and stressed the importance of children being able to see themselves represented in such characters.

D. F. Smith of IGN stated that Alex served as much a departure from the norm for Capcom as the game itself, stating he "broke the mold for fighting heroes in all kinds of ways" in how different he was from the more "conservative" Ryu and Ken in terms of design and gameplay. Smith pointed out that Alex was "unexpectedly quirky", designed with players that wanted to get up close to their opponents in mind, and his shaggy appearance and face paint made him feel more like someone able to act as a bouncer at the roughest of establishments. Gavin Jasper of Den of Geek described Alex as a parody of fellow character Guile, noting that both men had a similar story of searching for revenge. However, while Guile's was portrayed as a righteous mission, Jasper felt Alex's demonstrated he had a short temper and did not think things out fully. He further stated that due to Capcom's tendency to downplay Street Fighter III in recent years Alex had been underutilized, appreciating the character and acknowledging that while he wasn't the strongest character in the franchise, he was still shown "having the time of his life".

Jasper further described Alex as the highlight of Street Fighter III to him due to the character moveset but also his portrayal during these attacks, describing his voice as sounding rugged and adding "Something about his line delivery gives it an extra bit of oomph when you’re slamming your opponent".
