CS Haz is more or less CP Haz, but with meter gain from doing one midscreen BnB off of any hit.

I don't think you mean "complex" so much as "overwhelming" but I do agree with your preference. I think listing combos based off the normal you start with is just tedious. Especially when it's pretty much the exact same combo just with a different starter or an extra normal, I feel like it just becomes a waste of space. In order to streamline things, I usually just say where on the screen the combo starts, list the conditions (such as crouching, AA, CH, proximity, etc.), and group by the type of starter (normal, special, throw) and how much meter it uses. I guess in Azrael's case, I would also group by which weak point it uses (I wouldn't do by which one it applies, because unless you're ending with BHS, it's safe to assume you're applying weak-points somewhere in the combo). To further streamline things, only include optimal stuff and one or two sub-optimal options for easier execution. Listing hit-confirm routes is also sometimes necessary, but I don't think Azrael really needs it because of lol 2C and rekkas. Of course, right now all we have to go on is match videos and a sparse amount of combo/tutorial vids. I doubt the combo thread of any character won't be perfected until the game releases on consoles where this kind of stuff is more easily tested.

I already have it uploaded to my YT channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUDJUzDTr_w

You probably wouldn't need to even do the IAD's. Do you realize how far just the 3C > 22C and Rekkas will carry? If you were starting with your back to the corner then maybe the second IAD would be necessary, but that would be really situational.

For 6C, I would imagine so, since it moves him forward anyway and it doesn't have that much landing recovery. With 5C, it could be distance/character dependent. If you FC 5C from max range, it might not connect.

Probably because he's going to be the typical character that 13-year-old chuunis go after like Ragna and Hazama. "Kakkoi" characters tend to be like that. Oh yeah, and those same people will probably use the netplay black color.

Okay, so for Valiant and Hornet, do you have to hold forward/up or do you just input it once and then the effect just carries on until you stop it? EDIT: are you guys ready to be LOVE PHANTOMS?: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19916599

Hazama combo movie not using Bayonetta or Devil May Cry or even Viewtiful Joe or God Hand music Do you even Hazama?

Guard Point is hilarious in neutral too. If you time it right and hold it long enough, there's so much shit you can counter. For example, you can absorb Haz j.6D~D > j.B with Valiant/Hornet and then release D afterwards to get CH.

Full body guard point for BHS, 3 hour long crumple for OD SP.

Cobra is safe on block or at least neutral, iirc

So wait.... is Scud essentially a mini-install that you have to hit with in order to get the effect? There's probably a whole assload of tech needing to be discovered with that move...

You know, reflecting on my shitposting spree earlier, I realize I need to apologize to LegendaryRath. I get what he's saying. There's a lot of unexplored hitconfirms with Azrael, especially the seemingly obvious ones off fatal counters. Or even if they are explored, it's definitely not showing up in a majority of match videos. Being able to react to his big potential damage and capitalizing from it will be pivotal in being a successful Azrael player, in my honest opinion.

First of all, you should almost always forward dash after Houtenjin. Second, the timing for pressing C (visually) is when the opponent is level with the combo counter. Really, though, it's just something you've got to get comfortable with yourself.
