Overview

Axl is a dork, and you'll love him all the more for it. Based off of Guns and Roses' own Axl Rose, Axl is a British Goofball who has easily the highest range in the game.

Jumping against Axl is suicide, since he can cover most of the entire screen with normals that cover a huge amount of the stage. He has an unblockable attack, two crossup attacks, two counters, a super armor move, and surprising damage potential for a character who's built for range when he's near the corner. Rensengeki is a good projectile that works for pressure and combos, eating through other projectiles and has two followups, one for catching jump attempts and the other for tacking on damage and knockdown. He can bait reversal options with his counters and some of his long ranged normals (3P in particular). However, when opponents are in Axl's face, there's very little he can do about it. His super is easy to bait, his Dead Angle is slow, and Hachisubako (super armor DP-esque move) is easy to see coming and counter. If you like keeping the pressure on from a bit far away, Axl might just be the character for you.

Use it to catch jumps early and snag hits from other low points in a jump arc, like an IAD. It can also do things like interrupt projectile startup. Using it against a neutral grounded opponent is usually bad.

The second hit will screw up your best confirm from a counterhit, so if you can predict you're going to stuff something, you can give yourself more time to confirm by holding the button, and go into 5H, instead of something lower-damage.
