I respect the fact that you are one of the few people who use Azucena for who she is as a character, unlike most who only saw her as a tool.

[@HighkeYFoxY]

Yeah!

[@ped121]

i still love using her she's still my main

[@domaug]

tier whores ruin the experience. Azucena is super cool stylistically and I won't stop playing her!

[@disobey8828]

I see her like realy hot woman LUL

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Goes back to the theory that Azucena is overrated?

[@MatthewMorganReddwood]

THE TIERWHORES ARE GONE! REAL AZU PLAYERS STAND UP‼️

[@luckychloeuchihatekkengod669]

Yeah 😎

I'm a Azucena Main to I'm a Kishin With My Kazumi Azucena 💙💙💙

[@Ratedmbx]

Currently tekken king with Azucena

[@sergioestrada-munoz9136]

I respect the commitment. I agree Azu is still really really fun. I like the character personality and the stances feel really fluid.

[@KR0WFGC]

This is the character I was thinking she would be at launch. Fluid stance mixup character.

[@eeemiro]

Its just that people complain about something a character does and then they nerf the character to the max. If they can nerf azucena then victor,feng,lili and more need nerfs like azucena🤷‍♂️

[@alexferrier5732]

Dunno much about Feng, but for real Victor and Lili piss me off, mashing their way to victory always moving forward, Reina too but at least I interrupt Reina more often.

THIS IS WHY YOURE THE GOAT LETS GO FELLOW AZU PLAYERS

[@ExpanderDJ]

Tried King, then Lili, then Nina. None of them stick. Sticking with our girl cause I love her gimmicks way too much.

[@Meloncholy19]

The Kneecapped my girl, but I still play her. Having her less common now means I can do more knowledge checks.

[@vapersmith7859]

Since I was a Reina main before the Azucena nerfs it didn't hurt me but I can see how players like the character even after she's been weakened. One of the byproducts however of the nerf to Azucena is a whole bunch of other characters have multiplied in her place including King for some reason. Commitment is important in this game...and I respect that you still main Azucena

[@Kenpachi_White_flash_99]

Happy to see you didn’t give up on her brother

[@Cyre746]

Her fun factor is still there, so I’ll still play her as my off character. Plus… you never know what they change in 1.05.

[@JoboyJordan]

A lot of gold mine tips here. I didnt know about 3,2 cancel to stance.

[@DrgWorld]

It’s a shame that the most creative character ever made for the Tekken franchise gets so little love and will never be a tournament champion. I’m so tired of the OP Mishima’s and their demonic played out main storyline. Namco, open a window and let some sunshine in!

[@sashatotte7080]

Thank you for the tips kaizur! As a big azu fan i'm glad we can still turn to you for guidance

[@panagiotisletsios5442]

Your the best men, love this Charakter and I also Not planning to drop her

[@kirbyyplays]

She’s so fun. I don’t want to stop using her…unless we get another dancing character 😂

[@romaiiika88]

12 punishment into backturn is much better than 11 anyway. Backturn mix is stronger imo. But that patch was way too overkill, so I hope they will give her more other tools in the next patch, maybe more tracking from her stances and more consistent ways to get into stance mix on block

[@wednesdayboy7390]

Glad to hear, waiting for more content

[@Kilimanjaro_tk]

THIS is what the HELL I WAS TALKING ABOUT my guy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew i would not drop her! I felt it in my guts ( pause )

[@alfredogonzalez2436]

Im glad people still play her. I havent stopped using her even with the nerfs i found decent combos

[@alexferrier5732]

This really shows that WR3-2 being as busted as it was, was hurting this character's identity. She was supposed to be a stance character/tricky offensive character all along, but busted WR3-2 prompted us to do it way too often and she ended up being a plus frames offensive type of character, to the point that doing stances was not neccessary at all when WR3-2 was such a party starter. Now we actually have to use a big part of her movelist, stances and frametraps, and even if she is not as powerful as she was, at least this playstyle is more flashy and fun to watch, whereas pre-patch it was very easy and justified to hate on Azucena, playing against her and watching her was just not fun. So we better hear no hate towards her anymore, she is normalized.

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Goes back to the theory that Azucena is (or was) overrated.

[@whiteshark450]

Really respect the commitment, i kinda dropped her until she gets buffed again.

[@leonardocastro5618]

He haven't abandoned us, so happy 😭😭😭😭

[@Nykdos]

You can use uf1 (sabaki) after her 2,1! I like to check them jabbing after it, specially when I need to close rounds. Thanks for the video, I was going to learn her before the patch, but then the patch notes dropped and I played her religiously after. I've been having a lot of fun trying to get more into stance, but it's also really difficult to do so. I'm just a low-level casual for now, but I'm glad you're giving this content for us! I appreciate it.

[@chef-ahsoka5001]

Phenomenal video! I agree 100% I also enjoy b1,1 to get into stance with plus frames on block

[@Makyostar_]

They just should buff stance and stance transitions

[@purplexedpedro]

thank you for making this and giving hope to the remaining azu mains!!

[@RedDeadAuto1]

They will never make me drop azucena. Coffee queen forever

[@iXistHere]

Wonderful video. This character is way so funny when fighting. Keep it up!

[@annojance]

I have one foot out the Azucena door. Tried a few characters, but none feel natural to me yet. I wasn't exactly an Azucena expert, but I felt comfortable with her. Maybe if I try these tips I'll be able to stick with her.

[@jonatana.4540]

Good to see, man. Azu gang stay strong!

[@hmmm5740]

was thinking of shifting to reina and this video dropped💀

[@RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77]

Thank you for your service

Namco p.. de la gran hijo, se paso de la raya con Azucena 😦

More of these! Thank you 👍🏽

[@aint4u]

hopefully june does her well

[@ominousnga8872]

Azu players finna be on the rise for sure I'll be seeing you all in ranked 🫡

[@rolandoquesada]

Respect to the goat Kaizur

[@kalega311]

Oddly enough, I want to play Azu now lol. Tiers never mattered to me too much. I played Zafina before the patch. But some things I'm just not jiving w/ her still and wanna change it up.

[@Yokoso-kj7ij]

They over did it with the db4 nerf... ehh no one was asking for that to be nerfed.

[@matthiasreichel4218]

thx for giving us Azu mains some hope :D

[@meowmeowizlife]

Can you update your tutorial after the recent azucena buffs please? Keen to know what you think these changes do for her gameplan

[@XxTreBasedxX]

shes getting stance buffs soon im never giving up on my coffee queen

[@Makyostar_]

Thanks for the guide

[@theroyalbacon2294]

Sabroza! is back

[@MikeyMOMO1000]

They jus made all these changes because mfs cry about shit they can’t stop meanwhile I’ve heard not one Azucena main(myself included) publicly speak about the tremendous damage she takes from combo strings etc. yet they keep taking pieces away from her core foundation it’s weird to me she was originally built that way for a reason and they’ve dulled her sure I could pick and play someone else ( I can play quite a few people she’s just my favorite win or lose) but I enjoy playing Azucena…rant over 😅

[@p4f77]

Thank you Kaizur

[@jaredpinoth4815]

I’m still playing Azucena, cuz she’s the closest to being Miguel

[@DavidRoxGuitars]

The just be the flash and make harada unnerf

[@row6191]

But kaizur you can go into bt from 1,2

[@neol07707]

Some of these nerfs need to be reversed. All characters should have access to decent neutral tools and you shouldn’t be forced to play a certain way with a character. Limits creativity. Nice video though

[@Nocto3827]

I’d say that I respect the commitment to azucena but you played Chloe in 7 soo.. (jokes aside I respect you 100%)

[@WhensMahvel]

I hate going into the stances shit js the worst I liked the nuetral and punishment with uf 1 Iliked playing Katarina through azu. Now this shit is suffering lol

[@seancotrufello5730]

Never dropping

[@TheMajesticGG]

that's a cool outfit

[@liv3vil-Kei]

'we want people to use her stance' proceeds to nerf (11) a move that leads to her stance. And since when are we not allowed to play a character the way we want?. Imagine Mishimas only being able to launch of an electric because they want you to use electrics... Stupid

[@Tain_edReaper]

Tbh glad azucena is in the dirt. That way she knows how it feels to be mid tier. Her dumb stuff on release was unbearable. Not balanced

[@MarkoMagic]

womp womp, I've never lost to another azu in ranked. you're just bad

[@Tain_edReaper]

@@MarkoMagic Or ur a low rank player. Anyone with more than 1 braincell knows the character is cancer. In a decent player's hand you can literally make Tekken emperor rank with azucena when you can't with others. It's character carry at it's finest next to dragonuv

[@MarkoMagic]

@Tain_edReaper yet every azu i play is braindead, and i can read them so easily. spam powercrush? just duck. dont sit there and take wr pressure like a scrub. what else does she have that's so difficult to deal with? just learn the matchup

[@Tain_edReaper]

@@MarkoMagic lmao that's how I know ur a scrub. Spam power crush? That strat sounds straight out of green ranks.

[@MarkoMagic]

@@Tain_edReaper you say that like power crushes are weak at higher play or something 🤣 thats how i know you aren't good at the game

[@aea904]

O:

[@Delano777]

0:50 so johnsnu was right???

[@poiZen0]

Her stance transitions are soooooo minus there's no point.

[@cooleyc1976]

I lost respect for u bro! U was the best Azucena player that I used as a teacher! And now your saying because of a nerf your not gonna use her nomore? That's wack! That's like lil Martin not using King nomore! It's all good. I'm gonna keep using Azucena nomatter what!

[@x-manfam705]

Did you not watch the video? He specifically said he wasn't going to use her during certain match ups. Since he attends tournaments that is completely understandable. Get out of your feelings.

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Goes back to the theory that Azucena is overrated.

[@개혁자-k5d]

No idea what u are talking about. Azucena is still the same. She was never OP. 'oooOo nErF bOOhoO'. Nerfs and buffs mean nothing. You think any nerf can make king, hwarang or eddy fair? No they can't. Just delete those characters.

[@Manley156]

She's a solid mid tier

[@nomthepainaway.5187]

Here to bring the monthly R.I.P Chloe comment. Always in our thoughts and prayers!🧎🏼‍♀️‍➡️🪦

[@supradoom]

I think you under estimate WR3,2. Don't forget about low parry!
