Use THIS tactic to beat Axl zoners in Guilty Gear Strive! 

I got you bro

It's ok as an I-no main I'll just hold db in the corner and cry myself to sleep lmao

My brain has been washed

Hilarious...

As a May main I'll make sure to engrave this into my memory for life

Me: *dies in Goldlewis main*

It’s easy, just don’t fight axl’s at all lol. I feel you brother

Potemkin...

Underrated comment lol

Always forget he has one

Huh, I didn't know that actually. Who besides nagoriyuki has no double jumps anyway...? 🤔

@@11shoopdawhoop its just nago. He can only super jump

@@goldsage4722 Aha, thank you.

Another man of culture

Pain

you can stall in the air with j.d as Nagoriyuki

@@ducklenin8161 Yeah and get hit on your way down

Use double jump instead airdash with Faust or the Rod from far away to punish

@@Lanzetsu Rod is waaaay too slow in the Axl matchup. Axl is either Faust's worst matchup or second worst after Chipp. If the Axl is throwing a lot of Rensen punish with scarecrow. Your best get in tool I believe is j2k as much as it's a meme move for how bad it is in Strive, it changes the Arc of your approach dramatically and gets you in. Super jump into dash swim then dive with j2k or jump into j2k immediately etc to vary it. Mix that with running in on the ground. If the Axl is offensive and jumping at you try to run under or jHS air to air. Save your meter for scarecrow to get in (S scarecrow block/hit Red RC or S scarecrow cancel RC into command grab)

Sfv is the latest game with this exact thing, and I haven’t seen any other game do it since...

it’s in umvc3, not sure about vanilla mvc3

The english dub is god awful. Korean is pretty dope

Cuz the English dub is bad lol

Axl’s english voice is easily the worst, no hate to octopimp

Had to give myself a chance ;)

Armored Fullscreen special move

@@jmcrofts I think rensen can knock you out of it tho

@@Acryte it does

@@Acryte I think he's saying use Slidehead to punish him if he uses another grounded attack.

@@jmcrofts You said dash in ways X, Y, Z. Potemkin doesn't have access to those X, Y, Z, dashes. Hammerfall isn't unstoppable by Axel, and Slidehead is only a knockdown. I don't think it even does damage.

I main Axl and honestly he doesn't have many options up close. His 5K is his fastest normal and 5P is slightly slower. So usually a 5K 2K mix into dust is all he's got. Or he can YellowRC to get his footing back.

It’s a very good option, but it has a blind spot when the enemy is close to you. So keep an eye out if you think they’re going to run in to get under your j.S. Also it can combo into j.214H at the right ranges, otherwise it can still work as a natural frametrap but it’s very minus on block.

@@ZhouTie47 Hes talking about IAD back j.S which covers close range approaches. Makes the opponent feel more forced to jump to approach you. j.S and his 2H are great pressure tools to force reactions

@Spooky Ghost wat? Seriously, your comment makes no sense.

Desperately combing the comments for an answer to this question

Bring it lol

When Nago teleports his hitbox becomes similar to his crouching state. So you can dash under 5P (at some distances) and 6K. You can't dash through 2P.

Hotashi made a great video on nago vs axl matchup

As nago when you block and have meter you can fukyou (235k) into blue dash rc and you can cover full screen pretty much

May downplayers on a whole other level man.

Cry

Try to flick rensen, then when he's scared to throw it out use hammerfall to go through his other moves

@@jmcrofts is flicking rensen on reaction a thing? i never thought to try that lemme go check this out.

@@nothingimpossible9450 from Fullscreen you can react, but the real trick is to watch for when he has charge

Personally for me ky crushes my axl 9 times out of 10. And he is easy to learn so he might be good too

@@yoyomonkey7986 which is odd bcs I feel like Axl bodies that matchup

@@that1zombi3kid he might lol im just not good at it. I need a ky that I can lose against hundreds of times so I can learn. For some reason I can't use training mode very well its just boring to me.

@@yoyomonkey7986 I feel ya man. Maybe it's just me cuz my ky gets utterly destroyed vs Axl but idk seems consistent. Also dude ya and setting up each situation in training mode can take awhile to lab out.

@@that1zombi3kid you play pc? I might be able to help you out with axl

She's definitely one of his natural counterpicks. Her plus frames dominate Axl.

Some characters require specific match-up knowledge, that doesn't mean they are particularly strong. Blanka has pretty much never been high tier in mainline SF games but you still have to study the match-up to beat him.

@@feri7mble so I’m correct in my assumption I’m not maining a top tier character, just a character who needs studying so you can beat his move set? That sounds accurate

As an ino player too, i think its just a terrible matchup.

Reggie slash?

Use 214H a lot that movie bodies Axl
