Maxi Video Thread

i dont think KDZ needs to explain himself anymore. Maxi finally gets some respect and then the MAXI players of all people try to shoot that down. We maxi users are a proud bunch and of course we would like to see ALL of maxi secial tricks to come out. But think about it for a sec. These videos were done at a tourney. At the tourney you dont want your comp to know everything you have up your sleeve. Why pull out all the tricks when what you are doing is working just fine. Its not KDZ's fault his opps had no clue how to fight maxi. If I were KDZ I wouldve done what worked and nothing more. So when it comes time to play someone that knows maxi you bring your different change ups then!!

dissapointed in plume most of all. Thought you would just as happy as me bout that win, but your the most negative. Glass is half full, not half empty.
 
Well, i don't think anyone is taking anything from KDZ...the dude is a consistent player....I think most people's gripe is the lack on antimaxi displayed....makes it seem that the win wasn't an impressive one.
We all know it's hard to win vs a player who knows solid antiMaxi, but the vids so far don't show it...so that's why most were let down. It's not Maxi who really won...it was KDZ's skilled coupled with opponent's ignorance. Vids won't truly prove maxi's worth unless we see it vs a solid antimaxi opponent. That's just how it is.
Not that it matters that much to me though...i believe that my maxi can contend vs anyone. I have nothing to prove either....and neither does KDZ.

thats what i thought when i read it earlyer. not being funny here but what he did worked. thats more than adiquite to win. and saying he wasnt in control is just out of order, what is wrong with thowing out the ocasional move stop. LIA, RCK, i often stop at BLK and then use the step back to buffer a 33B as they think to attack cos i didnt finish.


The most beautiful thing about maxi is you can put 5 maxis all in 1 room and each one will do there own things its not like thowing 5 mitsu's or kiliks in to a room and watch them do the same shit.

i think shit talking a WINNER is fucking bullshit i personally doth my cap and say congratulations good sir may you destroy many more on your path.

Some of the stuff in there is nuts. Mashy and out of control? (Can't really step if you're flailing around in stance.) If anything, it's a major testament to just what knowing when/how to step or otherwise space is a huge asset to Maxi's offense.

It just put me in a bad mood because I'm convinced that if they hadn't known who was the player, they would have done better than that. (Maybe not beat him...but at least do better than that...)

Although I also get in that mood whenever I see someone play one of my characters in a basic manner...
But yeah, he didn't need to do anything complicated to win anyway.


Edit: I still don't see the point in stopping after LI A when the opponent has no Maxi knowledge, sorry.
 
I gotta disagree with you on performing LI A and stopping there. I myself do that and I think it's a great idea because if you commit to doing LI AA, if the opponent blocks those 2 then you now have to guess what to do in order to not take damage. If you charge up the at the end of the string, the opponent could either get brave and interrupt the charged B or GI the B. If you don't charge up the B anticipating that he might attack, if you guess wrong and he blocks, you're gonna get punished. If you stop after the LI AA and go into BL, they could also interrupt before your BL A,K,B comes out. The way to avoid that entire guessing game is to just simply do LI A and stop. Most people you fight expect LI AA all the time and they're ready to block that second A and it never comes, giving you time to possibly continue attacking with something fast or to just take a step back and position yourself.
 
Krayzie basically sums it up to as why i do single LI A as well.

more info. LI A is -16 on block. If opponent expects 2nd hit they wouldn't be able to punish it at all in time. Makes it virtually safe....also, remember that LI AA is slightly delayable. That makes them hesitate even more.
 
I'm not sure if I should stop talking, or if I should repeat that none of that crap matters when the opponent obviously doesn't know Maxi.

come on plume. your sounding like the rest of these elitist negative bastards that will clown ANYTHING they see. again I point out, why bust out your top tricks if you dont need to....let it go!!!!
 
Well another Maxivid for you guys, another Maxi winning a "Tournament". More a fun Tourney on a meeting, since there was no Looserbracket.

Looks like Maxi can kill Crane pretty well.

Jag the Gemini(Maxi) vs LMTR(Yun, Zas)


greetings, doc.
 
it also looks like 4BBK rules the world. i mean jeez. atleast it shuts down that crane step. a whole lot of 3BA on CH instead of 3BB, and 3A+K like crazy. i still cant believe the 4BBK. that was the answer for everything, even after a blocked 2A.
 
im not a big fan of the 3BB. I use 3B RO A, like a dirty whore. I can go into psl's, 4BBK or damn near anything else to keep pressure on. 3BB, the 2nd B can be teched for some harsh punishment. Thats just my button mashing opinion though.....lol

not a bad video. He sure as hell did shut down crane. that was funny. never saw crane as being a big threat to me either.
 
off of CH 3B i dont see the second B teched very much, im pretty sure it has to be a juke. i definately use 3BA the most, almost always except on CH because you can still do RC A after the RO B and its more damage. yea maxi deals with the crane a little better than everyone else because of his multi hit tracking B's.
 
Nice vids Tiamat.

I wanted to comment on the Yoshi vids. During his Dragonfly, I along with everybody else probably freezes up. I would condition myself to do 6A+B or 1B on reaction everytime he does it since the TC properties will help against Dragonfly A.

What I definately suggest you try is Throw setups.

Since people feel they don't have to duck often for Maxi anymore, his throw game has increased because of it. With his ability to cancel his moves by not finishing his attack strings or just by going neutral in the middle of some of them, your opponent will be standing there holding guard asking you to hug him. :)

Small example:

4B, LO A, Throw Attempt

Your opponent will be expecting the K from LO AK, so he stands up to block and eats a Throw.

So use your Throw setups. I may start a thread for Throw Setups in the near future now that I'm on the subject.
 
Yea, I ate DGF K like crazy, I still need to remember to block low vs dragonfly, though now that you mention it, 6A+B or 1B would be a great idea since they hit fast and TC. I could probably even do those after blocking DGF A and hit him out of all his followups (unless he goes to super dragonfly I'd assume), LO A > throw is a good trick I agree, I try to use it sometimes. I should probably try to go for stance cancel > throw whenever they are outside BL A's range...or they are ducking a ton (find his lows to be stronger than his mids so I have more of the reverse issue), so i could mixup 3B and throw after stance cancel
