There are 3 stages, each with a set of moves. Simply put, Angel must use one from each to complete a sequence of attacks.
Unchain: 1.Start > 2.Circle > 3.Finish
When you get comfortable then you can examine how stage 2 contains loops (hence the name “circle”)…
Stage 1: Unchain Start
+ LK “Low“- HK “Heel“
- K “Tornado“
- P “Blow” -EX
- K “Step” -EX
K “Tornado“
P “Blow” -EX
K “Step” -EX
Stage 2: Unchain Circle
- P “Upper“
- K “Sobat“
- P “Under Blow“
- K “High“
- P “Hammer Blow“
P “Upper“
(End) Special Unchain Circle
These will interrupt the sequence, just really to dodge, and then you can finish!
- LP+LK “Feint“
- LP+LK “Feint” (Forward)
- LP+LK “Feint” (Backward)
Stage 3: Finish
- x2 LP • Lariat
- x2 HP • Straight
- x2 K • Rolling
- LP • Neck Cutter
- HP • Grapple Kick.
LP • Neck Cutter

Angel’s mixup as one (after 66c, you can do cmd dash and it retains you reversed commands, if you do back dash towards corner, Angel backdash over opponent’s corpse):

Her cmd dash can be canceled into 2p into another dash, if done right, it’s unmashable and unjumpable:

j.C vacuums a lot, which you can do fuzzy backdash j.2d to catch off guard people on corner. also unmashable:
Angel fuzzy is unmashable with fast normals and j.C vacuums alot for backdash j.2D #PS4sharehttps://t.co/2liUK28oWB pic.twitter.com/5TiI74k8Xy

Angel benefits most when she’s either 2nd slot or Anchor:
Reason why I use Angel on 2nd slot. If you lose character you gain 1 bar for next char https://t.co/2liUK28oWB pic.twitter.com/SViSSIrPdW

Antiair max mode allows you do teleport mixup:
