Screen positioning Explanation

Compared to his previous incarnations, in Extend Azrael has more combos that heavily rely on screen positioning. The main reason for this is that while TCL lost it's wallbounce midscreen, it still puts opponent into an slide state which we can use to our advantage by using aerial hit TCL into linked 22C. This however only works if TCL portion of the combo leaves opponent sliding into the corner or at least near the corner. There are some char specifics where you can use TCL 22C even midscreen (Valkenhayn being a prime example of this) which still need to be explored more. As such I think it is better that we start to specify azraels combos by screen positioning so people can choose the most optimal routes and achieve corner carry whenever possible (Thanks for aisight for pointing this out!!). In most cases Azrael has the option to fullscreen corner carry with meter so learning the screen positions will be very important for Extend. 

 

Midscreen: These combos may vary, and not all of them will end in the corner.
 
Midscreen to Corner: These combos start around the midscreen-ish area and require the corner for full completion. 
 
Near Fullscreen: These combo's start around the 1/3rd-ish stage mark and will mostly end in the opposite corner.
 
Back to Corner: These combos start with your back being extremely close towards the corner. Combos found in this sub-section will mainly focus side swapping if plausible or fullscreen corner carry if possible. Usually this means that you need to have weakpoint or meter or both available.
 
Corner: These combos mostly start with your opponent being directly in the corner, but it is important to note that some work relatively close/near to the corner and have slight corner carry. 

 

Near Corner: These combos are usually the ones that don't quite reach the corner for TCL to wallstick or are ones where TCL wallstick is very close to the ground with you being not close enough to continue with 5A/5B.

Valiant Charger (236D) Notes
[collapse]

Valiant charger combos completely depend on where you are at the screen. General rule of thumb is that if you can use 6B, then use that. Otherwise 5C is your go to normal to use. If you hit corner while performing valiant charger combo using 5C you can swap to 6B. Using Growler during Valiant combos makes them unburstable. If your opponent chooses to burst, Growler will absorb the burst and you can perform a punish of your choice.

Character specifics
[collapse]

Izayoi, Jin

Against Jin and Izayoi, Azrael can link 5A after 2D in specific situations in corner. The basic idea is that you want to use the wallstick from Leopard launcher to give you enough time to use 2D as they are falling down and time it so that due to 2Ds improved recovery, you recover while opponent is still in the air which enables you to link 5A after giving you meterless and "effortless" dual weakpoint combos that you can keep on doing granted you manage to open your opponent up. Few examples can be found below! Please note that this link is hard on izayoi and easier to do on Jin. 

[DW] 5D 2C 3D 6B 5B TCL 2D 5A jABC jD [5082 DMG][38% Heat Gain]

[LW] 2D 2B TCL 2D 5A 5B 2C 5B jABC jD [3726 DMG][28% Heat Gain]

 

Valkenhayn

Against Valkenhayn you can link 22C after TCL EVERYWHERE on the screen. This means you can do 2C delay 3D against him everywhere on the screen. 

Example!

Corner BnB: 5B > 2C > 5A > TCL > 6A > 5B > jc j.B > j.C > dj j.D or j.2D

I think you might be able to replace 5B with 6B here, you have to high jump cancel j.B however. Makes it do 3790 dmg and builds 29 meter =)

 

Using the fatal 5B iad j.A>j.C, CT route

 

Corner

FC 5C>(6C, 5A>(2B))>TCL, 5B iad j.A>j.C, CT, 214D(slight hold), 5B jc j.B>j.C jc j.D, around 4395~4598ish damage, two weakpoints, requires 0 meter to start with, ends up with 2~5 meter. You can add the normals in the bracket to the combo but it makes it harder to do somewhat. EDIT: If not heavily prorated you could end with 5B>2C, 5B j.B>j.C jc j.D, for 4616 damage and slightly more meter gain. Found out that on Litchi, you need to use 5A jc j.A>... as the corner actually makes it harder to hit 214D high enough on her.

Thanks guys! I'll add these to the list asap. Please do however try to include specific damage and heat gain if possible. This way i can just add them straight to the list without having to check them in training mode.

 

Also if you think something is char specific, please test it out and add the necessary info. So far i've tried to add universal routes so people can get the idea how things work out. There is 1 char specific combo in there right now but i will make necessary updates ASAP.

Updated previous post to include details =)

 

From old thread

 

Back to corner
CH 3D, 6A, Dash 5B hjc j.A>j.B>j.C jc j.2D, (walk forward 2B)>TCL, 22C, 2C>6D/3D

4528~4618 dmg, one weakpoint, 33~34 meter built. CH 3D, 6A doesn't work on Tager, Arakune. Last hit of Rekka whiffs on Litchi type hitboxes(can work on Mu but finnicky). hj.A>j.B>j.C might need to be changed to hj.A>j.A>j.C for some chars. Otherwise it should still work but the timing feels different.

CH 3D, delay 2C> delay 3D, 6A, iad j.C, 214D, 5A jc j.A>(j.A)>j.C jc j.2D, TCL(wallstick), 5D/2D

5377~5467 dmg, one weakpoint, 39~40 meter built. Delay varies among characters, seemingly impossible on Rachel, very hard to do on Taokaka(several others). On Litchi(and similar chars) the extra j.A is necessary. After j.2D slight delay before TCL might be needed in that case. More often than not in the same case, 5D won't hit in time, but 2D works. In other situations, 2D is too far away to hit.

 

CH 6D, TC>236D>6*5C/6B>(6*6B) X 4>214C, 3C, 6A, 2C>6D/3D

5152 dmg, one weakpoint, 37 meter built. Sometimes the first 6B whiffs, it depends how far away from the opponent you started your combo. You could sometimes just delay the 6B slightly after the dash however. Try not to do 3C too quickly after 214C, else the weird floating glitch happens. Can also start with CH 5D, 2B>TC>236D, for about 4800ish dmg.

EDIT: CH 3D, 6A doesn't work on Carl, and CH 3D, 2C>3D seems impossible to time on him too.

You can do 6B instead of 5B,, i knew this but thanks for the heads up. But, i posted 5B instead since it's a BnB. People who are new to Azrael are going to start off with 5B first to get used to him, then try doing 6B.

I think it's more necessary to post more optimized versions of the combos 'cause then people get the idea of what to aim for + learning harder combos makes learning other combos easier + they can ask for easier versions of combos if they can't get stuff to connect etc. Plus it reduces the chance that people will post the same combo twice with a difference of only one move.

 

Makes the mods' work easier too.

On top of that, some other combos can't use 6B in place of 5B because of hitstun decay/other things, so placing 5B in a combo could imply that 6B isn't possible there. If anything we could compromise by putting 5B/6B instead for combos that could use both.

 

Only if 2C hadn't had its recovery nerfed, I'm sure 5B>2C, 6B would have been possible, but that is not the case any longer =\

 

EDIT:

Midscreen(can also work in corner or in between)

[LW] FC 5C>3D, walk forward slightly 5B iad j.A>j.C, CT>214D(slight hold), 5A/5B/2B(possible?)>TCL, 5B jc j.B>j.C jc j.D ~5263dmg, two weakpoints, 4 meter required, builds 3 meter. Pretty hard to do though, depending on characters.

 

Near fullscreen

 

[LW] FC 5C>3D, walk forward slightly 5B iad j.A>j.C, CT>214D(slight hold), 5A/5B jc j.B>j.C jc j.2D, (walk forward 2B)>TCL, 2C>6D ~5745 dmg, one weakpoint, 4 meter required, builds ~6 meter. Ender can vary according to total distance, 5D or 2C>6D /3D or 3D.

 

For both of these combos, the slight walk forward is so that the 5B hits them pretty low to the ground, which is pretty crucial. You could just stand still too.

I'll remember that in the future. i usually just post optimal stuff but i figured posting something a bit easier to start off with first for others was a better idea. I apologize for it.

good stuff! If you replace the second and third 5C with 6B it goes up to 5.7k.. but i've noticed that there are instances to where they'll float and end up behind you if you do my version of it x_x so beware.

Ah, didn't notice the punishes section.

 

Slight optimization here:

CH 5D 2B TC 236D 6B x 5 214C 3C 6A 2C 6D  [4902 DMG][35% Heat Gain]

CH 5D 2B TC 236D 6B x 5 214C 6A 3C 22C 2C 6D  [4949 DMG][35% Heat Gain]

 

Also, this might be worth running for BACK TO CORNER?

CH 2D 2B TC 214D j.C airdash falling j.C 236D 5B j.B j.C j.2D [3630 DMG][26% Heat Gain]

 

Not sure if this is ever a relevant combo, but if you ever get the unblockable setup in the CORNER:

So apparently the sideswap combo 5B>2C>6D, Dash Through, 5A>TCL doesn't work on Tager because he's too big lol

No issues with 5B>2C>3D>... however, unless you don't start right next to him(though I think this applies on everyone anyway)
2C>6D>... also works if you are next to him.
