Preface

This page is Axl Low's Resources page. This page is to be used to indiscriminately store just about any pieces of gameplay information that anyone may have that exists about this character, to make for a catalog of preserved content that can (and probably should) be fully realized and transcribed onto main character pages after review.

For simplicity's sake; anything you would want pinned in your character channel or character Discord can go here, such as:

  • Character Discord pins
  • Links or transcriptions of external personal documents and / or Dustloop User Docs
  • Tech videos, especially from Twitter hashtags
  • One-off or niche combo routes
  • Set-ups (for pressure, mix-ups, okizeme, or setplay)
  • Video analyses of matches and sets
If more opinionated works are posted, such as match-up charts, it is highly recommended that you include accreditation to the creator and any other important specifics (such as ordering or et cetera), so that readers can evaluate the sourcing. To readers, also note that this means you should consume at your own discretion. Not all strategy or reasoning may be fully explained, tested, or viable, so either be sure to ask the creators any questions (if possible), or do your own research in training mode.

FAQ (Bak0, 2017)

What should I learn first?

1) Gatlings: knowing what move cancels into what makes learning pressure/blockstring/combos easier. This page lists Axl's gatlings: http://www.dustloop.com/wiki/index.php?title=GGXRD-R2/Axl_Low/Frame_Data#Gatling_Table

2) Range: throwing 2H point blank is asking to get spanked, learn how far your normals can go and what's the best normal depending on the range: adjust the spacing.

3) Blocking: Axl's fastest normal has 6f startup. While his DP is invincible, you will get baited a lot and easily punished by anyone who did 2 minutes of training mode at least. Use IB and FD efficiently and quickly recognize what you can do to get out of pressure.

4) Combos: Start with simple combos then go into the harder stuff. Day 1 BnB first, once you get used to them, go into the bigger stuff progressively: learn TK Bomber and start using them in combos for huge damage in the corner. Try to use knockdown routes at your advantage.

5) Blockstrings & Pressure: This goes with 1) and 2). Frame traps, throw mixups. This is where you start learning frame data and what moves are great for pressure (3P, 5H...) and what other moves aren't so great (2H into 6H...)

What are my day 1 BnB combos?

5K/2K > c.S> 2D > Rensen , you can add a 5H after c.S depending on your spacing.

6K> 2S> (HJC) jH > jD> Bomber off antiairs.

Throw> 6K> 2S> (HJC) jH> jD> Bomber for your basic throw combo (works on most of the cast)

How do I do TK Bomber?

There's been always several ways to do it since the old GGs (GGX or XX). I personally do 36923H but I am a weird person. But you can also do:

621473H

623963H

9623H

6923H

Use the best input for you and learn how to TK Bomber off c.S and 2S with corner throw bomber loops.

How do I run then Rensen?

Quickly dash when you're releasing your charge. Basically [4]66S

Where can I go deeper to learn Axl combos?

Is there any beginner video for Axl?

See the dustloop combo page and the youtube and twitter sections of this page

Any Axl players to watch?

🇯🇵 : Yousuke (よーすけ - Color 11), Idemimi (イデミミ - Color 17), Mita Jiro (三田二郎 - Color 5) aka Shimonkin (しもんきん), Woody (several colors) and Toushinsai (投身祭 aka Babelfish - Color 1) are the most common you'll find on youtube. More rare but you can still find footage of them: Eda ( ゑだ - Color 1), Touzi (ヤマト・トウジ - Color 8(?)).

🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦 : Toki (Color 4)

🇪🇺 : Pida (Czech - Color 5) Zino (France - Color 10). Not me!

There are other great Axls playing but they just don't have footage online

Japanese move names

What's Rensen, Rashousen, Raiei etc??

These are Axl's special move names. GG players have always used the JP Names because they were not translated so it carried on and it pretty much wont change ever. Here's a translation:

command: JP - ENG - short

[4]6S: Rensen Geki - Sickle Flash - rensen

-> 8: Kyokusa Geki - Melody Chain - rensen 8

-> 2: Sensa Geki - Spinning Chain Strike - rensen 2

623S: Benten Gari - Artemis Hunter - benten

623K: Raieisageki - Thunder Shadow Chain - raiei

41236H: Rashousen - Spindle Spinner - rashou

214P/K: Tenhou Seki - Heaven Can Wait - counter

j.623H: Axl Bomber - Axl Bomber - bomber

214H: Haitaka no Kamae - Sparrowhawk Stance - haitaka

2363214H: Byakuerenshou - Sickle Storm - super

214214S: Kairagi Yakou - Shark Strike - kairagi

Shimonkin's notes on the Raven MU:

レイヴン戦

・アクセルのjSやj2Sは簡単にレイヴンのダッシュからの立ちKや立ちHSで潰されるので、多少辛く感じてもあまりジャンプしないで地上戦した方が良い (飛ぶとしても、相手が対空狙って接近していたらjSやj2Sを使いすぎない)

・アクセル2Kでレイヴンのダッシュ2Sや2HS以外に勝てる (レイヴンの2S,2HS,2Dには負ける)

・レンセンの間合いはジャンケン。多少分が悪いので辛さもあるけど人読みできるポイントでもある。

・針に鷂が有効。特に空中針。

Roughly translated:

-Because of Axl jS & J2S getting easily beaten by Raven's dash (?) 5K & 5HS, most of the time you'll have to fight from the ground rather than jumping. (Assuming you're in the air, your opponent will aim at antiairing you so don't rely on j2S & jS too much)

-Axl's 2K is a good move to deal with him in neutral except for dash 2S & 2H (it loses against his 2S 2H & 2D)

-Rensen is kind of a gamble (janken). It's not so great in this matchup but you can read people with it sometimes.

-Haitaka is legit vs his needle, especially his air version.
