Master Axl Low's long-reach sickles and Sparrowhawk Stance in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2. Learn his moves and strategies.

Axl Low is a character in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 who relies on the extensive reach of his sickles to defeat opponents who favor close-ranged combat. His Sparrowhawk Stance is a potent tool in skilled hands. To effectively fight against characters like Slayer or Chipp, you need to understand the angles and speed of Axl's attacks. His close-range capabilities are less impressive, and you will likely need to focus on creating distance unless you are adept at reading opponents and utilizing his counter-moves.
