I believe the correct name for the drive is "The Terror". I have some of my own notes at home ill add and clean this up some when I get off work.

Thanks, I'm still going through it myself since a lot of it is redundant since I was just putting all the info together at first. But every little bit helps.

Valiant charger reminds me of boost from HnK in looks.

Oddly enough, OP doesn't mention is dash being a teleport dash.

I asked this on Twitter but never got a surefire answer, so if we have ANYONE in Japan who can test this it'd be cool.

Basically I know that, in GG, Slayer can cancel the startup of his backdash with a jump, then cancel the jump startup with a special move. This lets him use special moves while retaining the invincibility of his backdash. This is called a "Backdash Cancel", and it is a very strong, albeit difficult technique for Slayer players.

Now, since Azrael has the same teleport-type dash as Slayer does, I'm wondering if the BB engine is similar enough to the GG engine to allow a similar sort of Backdash Cancel. If we have anyone that can test this, it would be awesome.

Apparently his back dash cannot be jump cancelled but his forward dash can. It is in the info from the post but maybe it was lost in there as you were reading it the first time. I went and made his movement it's own section with that part in there probably as you were typing that.

Alright, cool, and thanks. It was just something I was a little curious on, and not sure if it was overlooked.

Zeth for Azrael mod, I see it in flashing neon lights :3


His dashes look incredibly strong. I'm curious as to how his damage will rake up compared to previous versions of Hakumen and CP Hakumen. Based off the loketest, Tager is going to have a REALLY hard time magnetizing him.

The post about slayer movements soudns interesting, now I now why slayers moves come out of the blue and so safe x[

So he has like 4 overhead options from neutral and a divekick. Throw in slayer dash, UB set-ups, and a reversal and you have got a scary character.
