I don't have much experience against some of these (Leo, Goldwater, Jack-O especially), but here's my rough matchup chart for Axl in advance of next week's patch. #GGST_AX pic.twitter.com/quExshuodX— Atticus (@atticusgg) October 9, 2021
This is my take on Axl's match ups in Strive currently. Feel free to ask any questions below or send a message! He is a very viable character that just suffers from a couple to a few hard counters. pic.twitter.com/wLVRtmoNQV— Mystic (@MysticSmash) September 26, 2021
Dealing with Chipp's round start f.S by buffering Axl's 2K into Snail #GGST #GGST_AX pic.twitter.com/q6fsrmv6qv— Narath (@Narath_FGC) September 25, 2021

could probably do the new 2S snail punishes on kou if it was close
Drugo — Yesterday at 9:21 PM
ooo right
Atticus — Yesterday at 9:22 PM
I think pot might be on +1, may -1, ky +1, and honestly I thought pre patch Anji was -2.. I haven't played him since the patch. Rest of my list would be the same
jubejube56 — Yesterday at 9:22 PM
But yeah at the end of the day every take I ever have can easily be blown up
Atticus — Yesterday at 9:22 PM
Anji +2 sorry
jubejube56 — Yesterday at 9:23 PM
Since it only takes one person being amazing at the character to just annihilate my preconceptions
Atticus — Yesterday at 9:23 PM
Maybe +1 actually
Drugo — Yesterday at 9:23 PM
if barry and mystic are scared I'm scared tho
jubejube56 — Yesterday at 9:23 PM
Like based on my matchup experience atm, I legit would have to say that Axl beats Chipp
BARRYBONES — Yesterday at 9:23 PM
lol
[9:23 PM]
don't base things off of experience alone
jubejube56 — Yesterday at 9:24 PM
Just because I haven't fought a Chipp to really make things work
BARRYBONES — Yesterday at 9:24 PM
think about the tools those characters have and how they interact with your character
[9:24 PM]
that's the main thing Imo
jubejube56 — Yesterday at 9:24 PM
I can only think about tools in a vacuum for so long though, if I think about how amazing alpha blade must be then I throw it on reaction every time
[9:24 PM]
then was it ever actually amazing?
Drugo — Yesterday at 9:24 PM
I didn't play with any chipp after the patch is the 2k thing good now for axl?

BARRYBONES — Yesterday at 9:25 PM
you don't do this
jubejube56 — Yesterday at 9:25 PM
I haven't tested it fully but it looked like 2S catches j2k more often
BARRYBONES — Yesterday at 9:25 PM
J2k gets bodied by c.s now
Axl match up Technology SOL 5P over gun flame, useful after 6S mid screen 2S bandit bringer, at some ranges 2S will whiff but it’s unlikely never let Sol do 2 Fafnir if you can’t throw fafnir always block it low to avoid fuzzy situation yrc is guaranteed after fS Just block Take the throw never ...
Quick Axl vs Pot MU tip, buffer j.HS when doing j.S to hit the Hammerfall armor and punish after landing #GGST #GGST_AX pic.twitter.com/XiVOAsJQyH— Narath (@Narath_FGC) August 9, 2021
I hope this helps y'all to make Ky players pay for their sins with Foudre Arc... #GGST_AX pic.twitter.com/PKqpwbNoit— ᴛᴏʀɪ (@weeaboobear) August 2, 2021
