Im no ky master but i played ky as one of my characters since playstation one release.
for Axl
1. 6HS is really nice cause it will hit on his chains when they extend.
2. use the 214k move anytime u know one of his combos wont connect (Like as if Axl starts with 6HS, he cant out hit the 214k unless he RC it), also applies to alot of his other combos.
3.FRC your projectile (I havent had to do ti but it would help to FRC and dash )
4. Tick, Tick, and more Tick throw FRC or RC.
5. Out poke with 6S, Vapor Thrusts.
6. If he Downblocks alot (which my brother loves to do to bait me into loop), do a J.hs or J.s then 4D to air combo.
Random shyt just passing through, Hope this helps you out Vyze.
