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 frame-one autoguard move, and surprising damage potential for a character who's built for range when he's near the corner (And excellent corner carry with meter). 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 has a bad hitbox, and Hachisubako (autoguard DP-esque move) is weak to lows and unsafe on block. If you like keeping the pressure on from a bit far away, Axl might just be the character for you.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Unique Mechanics
- Axl can hold down the attack button on his long range normals to skip the second hit of any of his multi-hitting normals.

Left hook
f.S can be gatling'd into from 2P. This gives you more options out of 2P, or could withdraw 2P's hurtbox early for safety if 2P connects. If this move is done at typical spacing, cancelling it into a Rensen Geki will combo against a crouching opponent, but not against a standing opponent (unless counterhit). Gatling Options: 5H,5D |
5H |
| |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
5H is mostly combo or blockstring filler, but has some useful properties.
5H's main selling points are its damage, guardbar, and stun. Many of Axl's special moves have a lot of startup, and canceling from 5H is often the best way to make them harder to contest Gatling Options: 6H,5D,2D |
5D |
| |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Axl's dust doesn't lead to much damage, but has decent corner carry and can catch them not paying attention because, like all 5D's, it hits high. Its main strength is that it has huge range for a dust. Its weakness is that its tied with S Raei Sageki for Axl's slowest move (28F startup). 5D also has some lower-body invuln near the active frames, and can be used to call out lows pre-emptively While 6H is usually preferred as an overhead due to faster startup and better nominal frame advantage, 5D is safer in many circumstances because it pushes the opponent further away and doesn't put Axl right in jab range in its startup Axl can do a fake impossible dust combo (8jD-8jD-TK Bomber) from nearly any range, which can be converted into a bomber loop from pretty far from the corner. With the Axl Bomber FRC, it can also lead to a normal air combo midscreen. Fun Axl Fact: This move has so much range, it can make it hard to actually get the launch combo if it connects from too far away. You can sometimes fix this by using j.6P to pull them closer to Axl at the beginning when the screen flashes. |
6P |
| |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1~10F upper body invul, but not as much as most 6Ps. The hurtbox extends higher than 2S and the hitbox is tiny, so it's pretty bad as an anti-air, especially since Axl is a walking surface-to-air missile and any of his long range chain attacks will serve you better. 6P launches on counter hit and has the upper body invul, so it can occasionally work as a high-reward counterpoke, but 3[P] is much more effective for that and less likely to get you killed. Mostly this move serves as blockstring filler, adding some extra guardbar when you have the space to gatling it from c.S or 5K, and it's Jump-Cancelable, so it can add some tricks to your pressure.

Axl's only actual jab
At least we get a mashable jab in the air! Its a good air-to-air, and works for bringing them to the ground if you get them to block it. Jumping up and air-to-airing with this move can be a useful way to catch people trying to jump in when they expect 2P or try a weird angle that Axl's anti-airs have trouble covering. j.P gatlings into all of Axl's other air normals, so you have lots of options to confirm into a combo. If you anti-air or jump in with mash j.P near the ground, you can gatling into j.H → landing cancel, then continue the combo on the fly (5K, 2S, and 5P work well for the pickup). You can also set up a bomber loop in the corner with jump in>late air dash>j.P>j.D>H Axl Bomber. Mix this up with j.H safe jump and empty jump 2K so they'll never see it coming.

The Boot
j.K is a useful air-to-air with good range and speed. It can confirm into j.D>FB Axl Bomber on hit for a combo, or gatling into mash j.P on block to bring them to the floor for ground pressure. j.K can also work as a last resort jump in when the spacing or timing are wrong for j.H or j.S.

Be mindful of the corner when going for a throw. Don't miss a bomber loop because you threw them out of the corner. By the same token, don't get killed doing a non-os'd throw because you wanted the bomber loop too badly. 2K, 5K, c.S, and 3P are good moves for tick throwing Some heavy or small hitbox characters, such as Johnny, Ky and RoboKy, require microdash > 5K to get the confirm. Its tempting to reversal throw as Axl, due to his lack of other reversal options, but don't get comfortable with it. Its extremely easy to bait. Use this option select (works in AC and +R with all characters) if you wakeup reversal throw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad9z2BJwdDg |

Not very good, but one of Axl's few ways to defend himself
Axl can combo off his Dead Angle Attack with DAA>5P>whatever. The damage is very small, but the moves after the Dead Angle can kill the opponent if they are almost out of life. |

Fast projectile that hits near the ground. One of Axl's most important tools.
Extremely important to making Axl threatening at long range and dealing with opponents who attack the hurtbox on long range chains. The FRC is a cornerstone of Axl's pressure and confirms, so it is absolutely essential that you master it. |

Bandit Bringer, but more angular
This move's FRC point is very versatile. It happens right at the start of the active frames (2 frames before and 1 during the first active frame). This means that Axl will complete his jump and then cancel, leaving him in the air. Also, if you Jump Install the move (Either in a string before it's performed or by adding an upward direction to the end of the motion from neutral), you can double-jump or airdash afterward. This has a few major applications
