Fighting Ring #50 - Azel

IZ's strategy

(The cheap way)
From the beginning, taunt him. He should run over to you, so start Drunken Twist spamming. DO NOT STOP DRUNKEN TWISt SPAMMING EVEN IF HE USES A ROULETTE, OR GOES INTO GOD MODE! Of course there are exceptions. If he uses Shaolin Blast, La Bomba, or Divine Smash, prepare to evade. Back flip dodge can evade any of those attacks, though a well timed side step is better for dodging Shaolin Blast.

If you choose to use your reels, you should always use Chain Yanker, 2 evade-cancelled Yes Man Kablaams, and pummel. The only exception is if you're low on health, then just use Zen Revival. Once his health is down to half, he will go into god mode. Contrary to popular belief, he can still be damaged by your attacks, even in god mode. He will also react to your attacks as if he was fighting out of god mode. If he grabs you and you get into a pummel "contest", as CaT puts it, just mash all 4 face buttons. This should easily beat him at that. If you follow this, and do damage anyway possible when you go into god mode, you should win within a few tries.

CaT's strategy

If anyone of you have read Ryman's strategy for Gene in fighting ring #51, you should know that this is practically the same.

Basically, use the Chain Yanker + Yes Man Kablaam tactic to fill up your TP AND position yourself so that Azel is stuck between you and a wall. Once you’re ready, unleash godhand and spam Fist of God/Fist of Justice (fully charged). As long as Azel doesn’t get too far away from you against the wall and that every single one of your Fist of God hits, 2 unleashes and a Shaolin Blast should be enough to finish the battle. (Dependant on your mode)

If you need to refill your TP fast, taunt whenever you can from a safe distance. You will probably need to do this anyway to refill enough TP for a second unleash.
