snail seems to be the go to loop pickup for antiairs near the corner
with RC you can go into cS TK bomber pickups, and I got it once to link to 5K on the way down and never again after cS > 5H > snail > 66 RC drift > cs TK bomber
but if you can link 5k then 6K gatling should work, and then snail ender maybe
[3:44 PM]
the 5k pickup link after that string seemed extremely tight though
[3:47 PM]
without RC the max I seem to get after a 2S is 2S > snail > 5P > snail
[3:47 PM]
5P > 6K > snail > 5P > snail also works but is range limited on the last snail, rensen does not pick up from farther ranges unfortunately
[3:48 PM]
(if anyone is wondering, I am somehow still in training mode after starting the ps4 from rest mode)
[3:49 PM]
aaaaaand I got kicked out lol
[3:51 PM]
someone smarter than me can probably figure out better combo routes
cocojam™™Today at 3:53 PM
snail really do be the bomber loop replacement huh
LukeToday at 3:53 PM
looks like lol
[3:53 PM]
it's a cool move
[3:53 PM]
but its no bomber
[3:53 PM]
you can still do bomber loops but they seem really hard
[3:53 PM]
because people fall so fucking fast now
[3:54 PM]
so I feel like I'm limited to cS or 5K > Bomber looping
cocojam™™Today at 3:54 PM
i mean you are because of jump cancels
LukeToday at 3:54 PM
yea but I also cant really pick up from the air
[3:55 PM]
because they fall too fast
cocojam™™Today at 3:55 PM
oh
LukeToday at 3:55 PM
like, you can if youre looking for it
[3:55 PM]
but after a single bomber if you're somewhat deep in a combo you need to pick up with 5k or cS, jumping doesnt seem fast enough to pick up after bomber
[3:56 PM]
so like the above string I posted
[3:56 PM]
cS > 5H > snail > 66 RC drift > cs TK bomber
[3:56 PM]
theres a tight link where you can link up 5K when tehy're falling down but that's about it. You can probably do 5K > tk bomber to pick up but no jumping and meeting them in the air to do like jD bomber and stuff
[3:57 PM]
but also after 2S its not really possible either
[3:57 PM]
kinda sucks
[3:57 PM]
I feel like I got it a few times after 2S but it's after CH and being almost right next to them in the corner, so not a realistic scenario
[4:00 PM]
honestly probably have to forget about doing anything other than snail out of 2S
[4:00 PM]
just 2S > snail > whatever
cocojam™™Today at 4:02 PM
yeah snail is a magic tool
[4:02 PM]
and 2s is stinky now
LukeToday at 4:03 PM
at least with RC drift cS > TK bomber seems far more of a reality
[4:03 PM]
i still dont know how to properly wallbreak without doing super or that cS tk bomber starter combo haha
cocojam™™Today at 4:04 PM
what input are you using for for tk bomber when you cancel out of c.s? I was struggling with it, was trying 6923 and 9623 like i did off of different confirms in xrd but nothin was working
LukeToday at 4:06 PM
923H works for me
[4:06 PM]
hold 9 to get the first jc frame and then 23H
cocojam™™Today at 4:07 PM
i'll try that when its back up, i think i was doing 23 too fast before i was able to jump off of c.s
[4:07 PM]
patience is not my strong suit(edited)
LukeToday at 4:07 PM
if you do it too fast you might get a 6H or 5H gatling. if you do it too slow you get a jH
cocojam™™Today at 4:08 PM
yeah, or the third option i kept getting, mashing 6923 like butter and getting red super
LukeToday at 4:08 PM
hahah
[4:08 PM]
yeah that happened to me at first a bit

rensen as an ender seems good only for far AA confirms from 5P
[10:57 AM]
apparently you can get it after 2S Ch > 6K but I dont know if you have enough time to charge if it's not CH
[10:58 AM]
the startup is massive now, and it seems more suited as an actual long range fireball rather than a combo/blockstun tool. snail is what you want for what you used to use rensen for
[10:58 AM]
it launches on hit so you get some of that rensen goodness, but everyone bounces so far away now that I'm still not sure how to reliably convert off of it
[10:59 AM]
the good thing is that snail is actually sick, covers a massive amount of the mid range even if it kinda sucks that it has a deadzone close to axl
IzzirezToday at 11:01 AM
air rainwater crossups have been doing some work for me
[11:01 AM]
and air snail is good as well
LukeToday at 11:01 AM
wait. you can do air rainwater? I thought it was grounded only
FuryfireToday at 11:02 AM
Air Snail is what he likely means
LukeToday at 11:02 AM
yeah but then they said air snail lol
IzzirezToday at 11:02 AM
am I misremembering? I thought thats what I was doing last night lol
LukeToday at 11:02 AM
rainwater is only grounded pretty sure
IzzirezToday at 11:02 AM
I need to boot up my game again, hold on
LukeToday at 11:02 AM
and i dont know how you combo into it. its been the move that I've used the least(edited)
IzzirezToday at 11:03 AM
your right, rainwater crossups have been catching people for me and air snail has been pretty good as well
LukeToday at 11:04 AM
how do you crossup off rainwater? you move backwards
IzzirezToday at 11:04 AM
I stayed up way too late last night playing, trying to remember all the stuff I was doing lol
[11:04 AM]
I'll need to check my replays, but I definitely had it cross people up
[11:05 AM]
there are some weird interactions with dashing under and air dashes and such
LukeToday at 11:06 AM
oh I can see that. would require the opp to be moving forwards I guess
[11:06 AM]
or you can dash under too I guess

LukeToday at 10:35 AM
btw I forgot last night cause I was in the middle of the beta excitement but you can actually do 923H for tk bomber
[10:35 AM]
which is what I actually do
[10:36 AM]
the fwd input in 9 counts for the DP motion
[10:36 AM]
my issue with that combo is I have no idea when it is applicable in a match, confirming cS into bomber is not something I imagine myself doing often and outside of punish situations in the corner it doesnt seem that applicable
[10:38 AM]
the fact that 5K and cS are the only jump cancelable normals is ass. It makes the AA game so much less dynamic and more boring for Axl. I dont know why they went with this homogeneous approach to jc normals(edited)
FuryfireToday at 10:40 AM
Yeah. I'm doing the 923H for mine
[10:40 AM]
It's the easiest way on Pad
[10:41 AM]
As for Bomber.
[10:41 AM]
It really is best used in the corner
[10:41 AM]
It's just so much easier to end your strings with 214H
[10:41 AM]
And it does about the same damage
[10:43 AM]
It's really good used after time stop though because of the launch
LukeToday at 10:44 AM
yes bomber is for corner, just your only jc normals are cS and 5K
FuryfireToday at 10:44 AM
Correct
LukeToday at 10:44 AM
so normal into tk bomber combo is only good for that
[10:44 AM]
i dont know how applicable that specific setup is in real matches
FuryfireToday at 10:45 AM
Well, Axl doesn't get many wall splat tools outside of Axl Bomber
[10:45 AM]
Just based on playing
[10:45 AM]
I'm sure there's more
LukeToday at 10:45 AM
I just mean the specific scenario of cS > TK bomber
FuryfireToday at 10:45 AM
Oh yeah
LukeToday at 10:45 AM
or even 5K > TK bomber
[10:46 AM]
maybe on CH you have enough time to confirm but it doesnt sound doable to me
FuryfireToday at 10:46 AM
It doesn't - You just have to eye it
LukeToday at 10:46 AM
well then it's not really good outside of punish situations in the corner which is what I was saying
FuryfireToday at 10:46 AM
Yeah... I just feel like I should practice it for that situation though but in any case... I should practice other things
LukeToday at 10:47 AM
Ive been trying to get stuff to go into bomber from 2S in the corner and it doesnt really seem like you get much, but I didnt know that 5K was jump cancelable until it was time for me to stop for the evening
Working on @odawara114514 combo for Axl. I'm still inconsistent with the bomber sadly. #GGST_AX #PS4share pic.twitter.com/kFx3Rgl5Ww— Fury283 (@Fury283) February 18, 2021
Corner combos are interesting once you get used to characters weight when being juggled. #GGST_AX pic.twitter.com/DQ5tXbNWjq— Raph (@RaphTx) February 18, 2021
Trying to mime what I saw frm @damusyuuto with combo inputs for others, Flubbed it but still did something. #ggst_ax pic.twitter.com/pvLSpeEp0R— Mario (@RazgrizMerc) February 18, 2021
