EX characters are not tournament legal. They only see play in novelty events and casual play between consenting parties.

EX Axl Low is a character that may only seem weaker on paper with not much returns, with his chain normals only being 1-hit and j.6P having nerfed range, but when you look past the surface you find a character better-suited to the zoner archetype than his normal counterpart with increased startup on alot of his chain normals, a new and huge invulnerable anti-air/semi DP in 623S and chargeless Rensengeki. To boost that up, you surprisingly can reach even more explosive returns in damage with the correct routing, making EX Axl fearsome in the right hands

EX Axl Low loses the strong confirm-ability of his chain normals to strengthen them in other ways with generally stronger offense and neutral.

 Axl Low -- Info Needed --

Pros
Cons
  • High(er) Reward: Still as ever-present as his normal counterpart, EX Axl can still crank the guardbar like crazy (although not quite as potent without meter due to 1-hit 3P/2H) and reaps insane benefits, gaining even more damaging confirms from a special cancellable 6H, counters that do 110 base damage(!!?!??!?!?) with potential to score up to 300+. Fearsome.
  • Keepaway: Clashes with his strong damage presence here, but having some faster chain normals and Rensengeki on 214H lends to EX Axl having a stronger long range game.
  • 1-hit Chain Normals: By far his worst loss is losing the vacuum hits of all his chain normals with not all too much in return (some even still have the same startup/recovery barring the second hit), including 3P which has obvious drawbacks like weakening his pressure and making confirms off things like air hit 5P much harder, which is also not helped by having worse gatling tables on them.
  • Worse-ish Defense: Loses autoguard on 623P reverting to it's old catch state and 4-frame Bentensama on 623S for a big anti-air with a pretty weak invul period for DP use. This still comes with it's own benefits and uses and EX Axl still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve however.

The moneymaker. Utterly absurd move.

Still an overhead, still plus while also being able to be special cancelled, netting Axl potential 300+ damage on some of the cast on a groundhit into S/H/FB Axl Bomber (or pressure w H Axl Bomber) and giving strong conversions off things like Rensen FRC.

Near identical to the normal version, if not for the fact the initial hit does near twice the base damage now (at an insane 110 base damage on both versions) and the forced proration is completely absent, leading to this being significantly stronger off threat alone.

Genuinely one of EX Axl's strongest starters, with basic meterless confirms leading to near 200, and metered confirms leading to 300+ damage all because you threw out a 4 frame parry. Insane and one of the most abusable aspects of this character.
