Duels of Fortune/Azutron

Overview

Overview

Azutron S-Type is the robotic scout of the multiversal police. As well as enforcing the law, they also enforce one of the most powerful neutral presences in the game as a high speed pixie character, focused on forcing then punishing mistakes from the opponent.

Azutron's main strength is their incredible movement and how that pairs with their punish tools. Azutron's movement speeds are all well above average and is also one of the few characters with a double jump, which when combined with their air dash and fast air drift, gives them a great air game. However, their jump ins and pokes besides 2M are a bit lacking. That's where their specials come in. 5S (Relocate), more often called teleport, is Azutron's character defining special. 5S lets Azutron quickly teleport in one of 8 directions, having invuln mid teleport and creating a plus on block hitbox upon reappearing. On top of that, they retain all air options after using it, allowing for incredibly tricky air movement and anti-air baits. This move alone dictates the pace of the match with Azutron, and while it has a cooldown, extra scaling, and can be countered, it's still incredibly dangerous. Then when you further add 4S (Hot Pursuit), a fast dash slash, 2S (Long Arm of the Law), a huge long range anti-air, j.2S (Under Arrest), a fast divekick, and 5SP (Omega Beam), a fast fullscreen beam, you get one of the most threatening neutral games, as any whiff or attempted approach can be swiftly shot down into a huge punish. And once their threat is established, Azutron can start to use them to begin their own offensive turns and get their pressure going.

This level of menace in the neutral doesn't come with downsides though. Azutron is tied for second lowest health in the game at 20000, a notable flaw when some characters' bnbs do 10K damage. Furthmore, Azutron's damage is on the lower end, especially if they want to go for their (admittedly incredibly good) oki setups, as most damage focused routes end in an air tech. While Azutron's anti-air capabilities are very good, they'd still much rather take a guaranteed mixup. Finally, Azutron's actual mixups mid blockstring are on the weaker end. They have two options, those being the usual hit/throw and the additional option of crossing up with teleport, although this is decently reactable. However, in the face of their overpowering neutral, Azutron's flaws can only hold them back so much.

Playstyle

Azutron uses their long range punish tools to threaten the opponent into making mistakes.
Pros	Cons
Flashy Movement - Azutron's movement is among the best in the game thanks to having a run, double jump, multiple air stall moves, and most importantly, their 5S teleport, which makes them terrifying to anti-air. Amazing Punish Tools - Azutron's kit lends itself to long distance punishes very well between 5S, 4S, 2S , j.2S, and 5SP. Incredible Mixup Potential - Without even having to spend resources, Azutron can run unreactable 4 ways mixups with good reward, as well as simply having solid left/rights on any knock down.	Squishy Metal - Azutron is tied for the second lowest health in the game, same as the likes of Annie and Shoto. This makes them far less survivable than other members of the cast. Oki or Damage - Azutron's best oki requires them to sacrifice a lot of damage potential, as while they can definitely hurt, their damage focused routes all end in an air tech rather than any kind of knock down. Limited Blockstring Mixup - While Azutron's knock down mixups are incredibly strong, their ability to apply mixups mid blockstring is much more limited, only able to hit/throw and use the fairly reactable 5S left/right.

Unique Mechanics: Lock-Down and Relocate

Lock-Down

Azutron has the Lock-Down gauge, a meter with 3 pips and a bar above. Whenever Azutron connects with any of his Lock-Down moves, the gauge is increased by one pip and the bar fills up. The bar will begin to run out unless another Lock-Down move hits, at which point it is reset. If 5 seconds pass, the bar expires and all pips are emptied. If Azutron fills all 3 pips, the opponent is put in a Lock-Down Cube. The Lock-Down Cube is a fixed hitstun state, during which the opponent can be hit by any move and it is guaranteed to combo (although if triggered Loop Protection will act immediately upon the state ending). If 3 moves are hit, the cube breaks and the opponent is launched with some additional damage. After a Lock-Down Cube is used, there's a cooldown of ~5 seconds before it can start being filled again. Generally, the Lock-Down gauge has two uses. One is to fill it up in one combo, then use the lock-down cube to get some extra damage, which is often how Azutron gets their higher damaging combos, but this removes the ability to end in good okizeme. The other is to fill 2 pips then end the combo, allow Azutron to get extra damage near the start of the next combo. Moves that add to the Lock-Down Gauge are as follows:

• 4H (Rocket Punch)
• 5S (Relocate)
• 4S (Hot Pursuit)
• 2S (Long Arm of the Law)

Relocate

Relocate is Azutron's neutral special and an incredibly strong 8 way teleport. In exchange for its many, many strengths, the move has a cooldown of ~3 seconds before it can be used again. While this may sound short, this cooldown only starts once Azutron is on the ground. Additionally, if Azutron uses teleport as a follow-up from 4S, the cooldown lasts for ~8 seconds.
