(Video is already at the correct timestamp of the match)

I was fully expecting to lose my losers match and drop out of the bracket at 2-0, but thankfully I pulled through.

Azrael is a beast though, to be specific, he's commonly refered to as a Gorilla. Azrael wants to get up in your face and hit you with big damage, scary pressure, and potent mixups.

I'm actually quite familiar with this matchup despite being so long since I've played against Azrael. For me, It's mainly knowing when to take my turn, Azrael's gameplan needs him to get up close to the opponent, which is just what Tager wants. Every oppurtunity Azrael gets is also an oppurtunity for Tager aswell.

This move is still kind of a bane for me, Gustav Buster, an advancing move thats also Safe for Azrael even If the opponent blocks. This move is somewhat infamous for being really busted if your opponent doesn't know how to deal with it. I know how to deal with it, but I failed to apply it to the match, but I still managed despite that. Your supposed to Instant Block the attack, performed by inputting block just as the move hits you, notified by your character flashing white, this makes the move unsafe for Azrael, however, I suck at doing It :p.

Azrael is scary as hell, his character is certainly befitting of his in canon moniker "Mad Dog", but unlike with Es, I was comfortable in the matchup. Unfortunately I couldn't save the replay of the 2nd match, but I hope to play this person again!
