I've been using Azu since launch. Some of the things you said here are true and some are not.
Rushdown: She most definitely isn't a rushdown character. I've been using rushdown characters all my life in every fighting game I've ever played and Azu does not have the qualities needed to be considered rushdown (i.e. good plus quick pokes at all levels high, mid and low, heavy frame advantage for most attacks, very few negative frames for most buttons). The problem with Azu is she has a lot of mid, high strings that don't jail so you can duck and punish her fairly easily (save for running 3, 2). Also, her move priority really sucks, at close range a lot of her moves get beaten out and while her Liber stance is less gimmicky than Josie's SWS a good player won't have much trouble since all you need is a quick mid. Victor, Reina, Dragonov, Law, those are rushdown characters. Azu's running 3, 2 is good and does give her plus frames, but having one move doesn't make you a "rushdown character".
Whiff punishment: Her whiff punishment is very good, probably her best quality, Azu is similar to Paul in that regard. She has a lot of good naturals that knock down giving her a chance to engage up-close or keep her distance.
Punishment: Her 1, 1 and 1, 2 are some of the best in the game, problem is they are almost exclusively meant to be used as punishment and nothing else. 1, 2 is -14 on block and is a double high. 1, 1 is better but she gives up her turn as she does with most of her other moves.
Frame adv: Azu's frame advantage is another big weakness. Almost all of her moves give up her turn and even the moves that she gets frame adv from (running 3, 2 : 2, 1 which is more mental frames than anything : B 3 I think gives her +3 : FF 3+4 : etc.) she doesn't get much from them.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she's a bad character, she has some solid stand alone moves, she has decent damage and wall carry, and as mentioned before her Liber and back turn stances have some solid options as well and are less gimmicky than Josie's SWS or Kat's harrier stance, but all in all, Azu is B tier and might fall into C tier depending the next round of buffs/nerfs. She has too many issue to be A tier and once you know how to fight her and are patient around her stance, it becomes very difficult for her to open an you up.
Dragunov is basic strike/throw Not rushdown
@@fatalishuntinghorn Wrong. In T7 yes, but in T8 Dragunov is most definitely a rushdown character. King is basic strike/throw.
this was great. i hadn't realized she could do that forced crouching into throw thing. also wasn't aware how strong her running 3+2 was
Thats her mega plus on block pressure option. The other player needs to respect it unless they have some kind of parry
very good guide my main!
Great guide, I've been scrambling to find the "good buttons"
Very clear guide! Hope u got more content! Was old player from tekkn 6 (psp) but didn't play tekken 7 want to main reina at first, but the ewgf just keep me away, azucena is my second favorite char! After this video i will surely give up reina haha
Just a quick question, I m a psp tekken 6old player as I mentioned, I bought a new arcade stick and I feel like very uncomfortable while doing dashes, do u recommend me go back to my controller ? The only things I worried my ps5 controller will be fked really fast since I will be playing a lot of tekken 8 on it.
Should I just invest time and relearn the stick movement or keep going with controller.
Is there any cons for tekken on arcade stick other then durability wise.
I play other games with arcade sticks too so both controller n stick i feel comfortable, is just the dashes are a bit awkward and feel slow.
Sorry for the long paragraph hope to get your input on it😊
In all honesty, itd really gonna be down to preferences, some have a easier time on controller or stick.
Me myself i tried for nearly 2 months on stick. Couldn't adjust, so Tekken & mk related games are the only titles I use a controller on, but if you do decide to use controller, have a backup available incase the one you're using goes out while playing.
@@tngtng7461 Dude, I've been playing on the same ps3 pad since 2011, it's still good. I think original Sony pads are constructed to resist wear on d-pad and buttons. Might be wrong. Anyway don't mash too hard and you're good lmao
Another Con with her that I found is the fact she barely has any viable launchers. All of her launchers require a whiff punish and are very slow and can be punished heavily. She relies a lot on mixups and counterhits to even get a combo off.
what you mean viable launchers? All launchers are punishable lol. Why would you focus on combos instead of pokes and counterhits?
@@tsuyax6054other characters have safe df+2 launchers
What do u mean? She had ALOT and I mean ALOT of counter hit launchers and she has good tools to set them up. Her hopkick is safe also
F this character. Disgusting
I UNDERSTAND U , i main her and have the same prob
Hey man, thanks a lot for the video. Rare W from youtube. You planning on doing more characters?
I'll be doing nore in the future.
oh yea we out here
Are you maining her? If so, we need to play. She been beating my a$$ online lol
Yup definitely maining her.
I main azucena, Garyu Rank. I’m starting to have problems with higher rank players now. They already know when and where to duck, majority of his mixup and counter hit tools are high df1,4 mixup is hard and easy to duck. So im stuck on d1 as my main countrhit launcher with fc/ws mixup.
Im around that rank aswell, & yeah its something I've started noticing so I have to start conditiining opponents into being afraid of her FC 3 for hard mixups into her low grab. Lots of conditioning, empty follow-ups from backturn into 3 or 1+2,.
@@Blackmore2323 I'm around blue rank now. More on 1+2, WS+1, DB4 and DB3 to back turn mixup on neutral. F1+2 safe power crush for getting momentum and stopping their offense. I'm running out of ways to win vs strong defensive players. Haha. Manual entry to Lib mixup still a hit or miss.
How do you do her dance counter hit?
it auto counters on low attacks. No input
It auto counter all highs and lows. I haven’t been low grabbed but I can confirm it dodges high grabs
For her WS punishment, DO NOT USE ws1. Ws1 is a CH Launcher. It's a shitty punishing tool. Use ws41 until you get to -15 (or Crouch grab if they're in crouch)
Off ws41 you'll get more damage, more advantage, and be able to punish moves at further ranges.
Plus, off her ws41, you have access to BT with ws413b. It's a little risky putting you at -8 on hit, but if they start showing you that they're going to attack you in that window that's when you start letting the 3 rock by itself
Pros: She's the perfect woman. Cons: I can't marry her.
She has that Goddess body figure lol
Amen.@@FlightX101
Can you play with me over Xbox and help me lol I’m going to locals and this is my fist tekken been playing mk semi pro
My in-game tag is Blackmore, send a friend request, im on pc but we can still play, just gotts add me.
@@Blackmore2323 thanks bro I will be on around 3 est my name is drivnd
There are zero pros to this. All the cons are you had to play as her. That's it. She's garbage
Con: most annoying voice ever.
Poosi!
