Neutral is very committal: Axl's long range buttons have very long recoveries and total frames.Counter Zoning: Axl can counter most forms of zoning thanks to Rensen and his long, active buttons.Powerful tech-traps: Axl's ability to bait and punish air-techs can be very rewarding and lead to big damage.Throw Combos: Axl has some of the best combos from his throw in the game, including good ways to control positioning, get knockdown, or even do pretty respectable damage, despite the punishing scaling on throw combos.Obscene punishes: Axl gets to ramp up guard bar really easily, especially with meter, and can confirm high damage in a lot of scenarios.Rensen can be FRC'd, extending his combo even further and allowing him to bring his opponent straight into the corner. Strong Corner Carry: Several of Axl's combos give significant corner carry when done midscreen.Incredible Anti-Airs: Axl's anti-airs are large, active, and have good reward making the air very dangerous for many characters.This allows him to mount pressure from a distance. Big Normals That Vacuum: Several of Axl's normals have him draw the opponent in with his sickles.Playstyle Axl Low is a mid-range offense specialist and anti-air'er supreme. If you like keeping the pressure on from a bit far away, Axl might just be the character for you. His super is easy to bait, his Dead Angle is slow and has a bad hitbox, and Hachisubako (autoguard DP-esque move) is weak to lows and unsafe on block. However, when opponents are in Axl's face, there's very little he can do about it.
He can bait reversal options with his counters and some of his long ranged normals (3P in particular). Rensengeki is a good projectile that works for pressure and combos that becomes even more useful with FRC, eating through other projectiles and has two follow-ups, one for catching jump attempts and the other for tacking on damage and knockdown at close range. He has an unblockable command grab, two crossup attacks, two counters, a frame-one autoguard move, and surprising damage potential for a character who's built for range when he's near the corner (and excellent corner carry with meter). Jumping against Axl is suicide, since he can cover most of the entire screen with normals that cover a huge amount of the stage and can lead into big damage combos.
Based off of Guns N' Roses' own Axl Rose, Axl is a British goofball who has easily the highest range in the game. Axl is a dork, and you'll love him all the more for it.
