Maxi General Discussion "The Dandy of the Seas

Hi guys,

Don't even remember the last time I posted here.

Looking for a new main thinking of moving away from nm/Siegfried this time around. So far Maxi is checking a lot of boxes for me.

BTW do anyone know the conditions for RC K LH? And what combos can you do?

LH RCK comes from stance swap before (PSL) best combos i know of (not including walls)

LH RCK:
44B~RCB 63dmg
[CE]~ROK 2B+KB 92dmg
[CE]~ROK 66B+K 103dmg
 
been quite a few years since i've been back, but it feels nice.

Anywho, do the seemingly random just frame moves during his stances do anything? i cant consistently do them, but i notice i'm flashing blue quite a bit while im using him.
 
4AAAB is an NC? Really?

Either way, I am loving some of the new stuff and fixes to block stun here with Maxi. Not sure if he’s top, but he’s definitely more competitive in this iteration.

look up the Seven Star infomation..... they are not just frames they are pings or "shines" to let you know you have completed a stance trnastion and attack for that stance.

Once you do it for all you get the LH B+KBBBA series.... Maxi only has 2 true just frames and 1 i consider almost a just cause the timing feels really tight.

1) 22KK:K very easy to time or mash, proably best to just rapid tap kick a couple of times at the end of 22KK to make sure you get it if your in a pinch.
2) B+K;B;B;B;A im actully finding this harder on this game then any other... maybe its old muscle memory. but other say its easiest its been in years. i just need to practice more i guess. not really mashable. this one really is worth learning as untill you get the 7SR you need to get it all to get the full string.
3) ROA.K (. for slight delay, the window feels pretty small) this isnt a just frame but to early and you get CHROAK spin stun to late the K will be block. at the just right point the ROAK will combo and launch/knockdown
 
Not sure if this has already been mentioned, and forgive my button notations for this, but;

6AAK is a combo on counter hit, yep. Leaves 'em standing and spinning. However if you hold the K for just long enough, it will still be a combo AND be able to wall splat.

So what I've done since SCV - since I'm a cocky asshole - is get someone near a wall, taunt cancel bait that sucker, 6AAK.
I'm so happy I can do that again in SC6.

So the combo I'm doing off this, and again, forgive my button notations; I'm not sure what the fuck stances I'm going to here, is...

6AA[K-small hold], W!, 6B+K, W!, 4BB, AA, B Does 111-112 damage.

If any of you big maxi bois find something more damaging, do let me know. That cheeky taunt cancel is my favourite way to get wall splats.
 
MAXI IS A DEMON

It should not be this easy...
This is not a Looping Maxi, This is a Flow Maxi

All those Previous posts TELLING ME Maxi is not an OTG Character. YOU STUPID

I'm having difficulty doing LI B, specifically after RC AA BA.

I've been doing a variant on Derocus's combo that I stumbled across while playing.
6b+kG RCAA BA LI B
I know RCAA BA ends in LO but if you're quick you can get LI B instead. Not too sure why.

I'm sure there's a stronger/more damaging combo to get off of 6b+kG but for now I'm just wondering why I can't get LI B to work.

EDIT: I've noticed that if I hold 6 after RCAA BA he transitions to LI instead of PO but there is no animation. No PSL seems to occur. Not sure if this is the case or if I'm subconsciously mashing the button. Interesting though.

First of all your notations is rather confusing

When you say RC AA BA
When when RC AA - >LI so pressing B should yield LI B

However I suspect you're doing RC A[A] - >LO

If you hold the second A it goes into LO which can lead you to do LO BK which imo is usually the better option anyways

So what's the timing for the just move 22/88KKK?
I've just been mashing it for it to work 50% of the time.

Yeah, I meant RC A[A]. My bad, it's been a while since I used this notation so I'm still getting re-familiarized with it.

And yeah, LO BK is useful as well, but RC A[A] LI B does slightly more damage. They both serve a purpose and I use LO BK in the mean while since I still can't find out why I can't consistently land RC A[A] LI B.

I'm also very curious as to why dictates me ending in LI or LO post RC A[A]. I feel like that would have a lot of use if applicable to other strings as well.
 
Just to clarify RC AA goes into LI
While RC A[A] goes into LO (you hold the second A vs Li you tap the second A)

The uses imo LO BK is the superior ender even if its less damage it puts you in perfect okimeze position

Like you said they all have their use including LI A ender.

Definitely looking high tier. What may keep him from S if I we're to take guess would be not having enough ranged moves (even tho that's not the focus) or I'm guessing old moves that we're taken out.

But I haven't played SC since 3 so I'm not to sure plus it's still super early as it just came out.
