Maxi Match-up Discussion

So far there is only 1 match-up I'm worried about, and I'm REALLY worried about it. Maxi vs A-Pat...

Alpha's CE is basically a free 55 damage. (It can interrupt LO B after 4B, punish 6A+B and even 2B), twister punishes 33B, and is just a major nuisance for all stances. Outside of that he's stronger at range, and getting close to Alpha puts you at risk for his strong ass throw game. Maxi still has his damage though, so he can beat anyone, but I've been thinking about this match for a couple days and it's not looking any better.

I don't know, have to develop some tactics that will force him to waste meter, and find a balance between playing it safe and killing him quickly. Just doesn't look good.
 
How fast is Alpha's CE??? what the cuss. Punish 6A+B? that means it's less than i9.
Like Yoshi's iMCF from SC4
 
Alpha Ce is i8 and got at least 1 or 2 frames of invincibility so yeah, it's a major pain in the ass.
 
WTF! what made them think that was a good idea???!!
In that case, it doesn't even make sense playing careful, as it will be bound to hit eventually lol

Before watching this vid or reading anything, did u do that for us Siegfried players as requested by idontrememberwhathisnamewas? :P
/tips hat
 
Bare with me here because I don't know the commands for sig's moves but I'm gonna give it a shot. Bread and butter with most Sig's I fight are lows. Particular low to look for is the low sweep kick while the sword is behind his back. All other lows are typically strung in with his combos. Most are very easy to read. Only other real threat in my opinion is his boot to the face from his sword behind back stance. Shut those moves down and you shut down most of the scrubby Sig's online.
 
Cervantes Realy rapes Maxi in this game. (Dont look at my avatar i am a Maxi player :P)
His aB is Rediculus, interapts EVERYTHING (No 6A , no 1B, no 44B if Cervy blocks the first hit he just interupts with aB) and although is punishable on Block you have to be kissing Cervantes in order to punish it, the pushback doesnt let you do shit.
His Ground slam att (2B+K) also zones out Maxi excellently.
 
Umm not really, it is trivial to do 1B and 44B then guard to bait him to do aB! You have to play intelligently. If you see you're being interrupted constantly with the same attack...then don't go through with the string. btw what are you trying to punish aB with?

His 2B+K is not that difficult to deal with. Hella unsafe if he doesn't charge. If he does charge, block accordingly, although that move is so slow, I don't see how this can be applied often outside of wakeup.

As i said the only thing i found that reaches to punish his aB after he Blocks lets say 1B is 6A.
The problem is to get inside him, and ofcourse the opponent wont use always the same att, but as long as he has a move that is relatively safe from Maxi and can interrupt so easily his loops with good dmg he will cause me troubles to no end.

His 2B+K kai be used extremely effectivly as a zoning tool, ofcourse you will block it its easy, but it still pushes you away continuesly and you cant step around it.
 
2(B+K) is not easy to deal with. The seismo is only -10 on block and leaves you a km away anyway.
aB is awesome when compined with zoning and even when maxi doesn get in its not like its a win already as he has awesome options like 3A, aB, 1A and i would say even his auto GIs, where he will take a risk even when its easy to make a read at times. When he lands one of them the game goes back to zoning for him.
Not to mention iGDR whiff punish for 100 dmg :P

In numbers i would say its 6-4 for cervy
