The only real checks that Alazakam didn't outspeed are Jolteon and Weaville, so okay, you're going to outpseed them now with Mega-Alakazam. However, he still cannot get past his counters (Metagross, Jirachi) since they are never 2hkoed. I guess he also now outspeeds Scarfed Base 80s and speed ties with Scarfed Base 100s, but if you're relying on those to check an Alakazam, you're doing it wrong.
Not to mention the lack of Focus Sash is an *ouch.*
