Maxi Combo Thread

Plume said:
The Scrubby Blue Aerial Kick of Electric Doom (LO K) is techable on Maxi's right side.

...And the [K] is risky because aggressive scrubs will attack because they notice a pause, while those who know the possible options and notice Maxi standing immobile know exactly what's coming and when. (Assuming that they blocked the first K, which happens very often.

Stuffing it's still an excellent option even if you're not a scrub.
 
Omg do the maxi players even test out what they tell people? lol just joking.. anyways got home and tested it, the combo is only escapable if they air control LEFT ! not right...

and its worth throwing out with the slide ring out properties and such... soo use it or dont just letting you know the correct escape...

Any other aerial control and you will get owned, And that kick is the shit I dont care who you are... ;)

Agreed, but new Maxi players or those who just don't care about learning him or just suck try to use that move as often as possible...no? For some reason I thought LO K had that reputation... I read that from someone else, and it's the first move that I've noticed as "useful" when I first brought him in training mode...

Check again, it's most likey character specific, if this works like u said, then it's pretty damn worth it. I will retest as well.

My tests i was able to AC using back left, left, and foward left.

Plume i know when you and i played the other night, you saw that "eletcric" blue kick from hell quite a bit. I like to ALMOST whore it out. But I have a different reason than you would think......I use it more or less to keep my pressure or momentum going. Because, If I hit you with it its nice damage. And most people tech right back up and eat whatever fatty combo i want. But if you block the full charged version (the electric part) My opp is so negative on block that I have time to have a smoke, rub one out and carefully choose what combo is coming out next. I actually hope it gets blocked rather than get a hit, cause the reward is better imo
 
Heh, just in case that it's what you believe, I wasn't talking about you... I didn't play you long enough recently to remember anything about how you play.
It's just that it seems that most players who start with Maxi notice that move very early and try to use it as much as possible, believing that it's awesome.

If I was a better player, I'd probably have punished you more often than I did. :P
It's possible to crouch this kick rather easily. Then you punish with a throw or whatever you like. And offline, this move is easily avoidable on reaction, assuming that you know when it's possibly coming and know what to look for.

So, against good players it's not that good, and it works better online than it should...
But against the average player online (like me most of the time...), I suppose that it's golden.
 
hmmm, ppl block my LO K quite a lot. I don't think it's that easily duckable on reaction if used properly. Obviously after 4B -> LO it's pretty predictable. It has a pretty fast startup.
 
...I guess that if you manage to play in a manner that makes it hard to tell in which stance you are, it works...
But if they know that it might be coming, they can wait for it and crouch as soon as they see blue sparks.


...Aaaanyway, my initial point still stands, it attracts noobs like poop attracts flies.
 
that kick is duckable?? are you sure? that move in a noobs hands, yes its horrible cause they dont know when to use it. But put into strategy in the hands of someone who knows maxi can be a good weapon if used properly. I dont ever expect to hit with it. I use it to keep pressure on. as i said before. I have yet to see anyone side step it or retreat out in time due to the deciving range. But you are right. The only way you are getting around it is if you know its coming.

6A, RO A, [k] is how i use it primarlily. if it hits I rush em down and 6A+B them or psl into BL B.
if its blocked....well 3B RO is coming!!

im still sceptical rather that kick is duckable. Thats a mid!! someone verify being that im at work!!
 
sorry...once again i put my tail between my legs. Im gonna shut up now

Plume....I totally see what your sayin now.....4B, K as a combo is something I use to get up in an oppenets face that is playing the long range game. and when i first saw it, i whored it out! To duck on reaction in give it 50 50 chance you will unless you know its coming. I dont like 4B, K for really any other reason except the long game. But when I saw reddjjin use it like he did last night, Its a great string ender!! Has good traking and If landed does great damage. But on block thats when I would be sceptical. You are almost forced to 2A, or 6A to keep pressure on.

is there anything fast at the end of 4B, K that is good or are you pretty much to negative on frames if blocked. suggestions?
 
you are still talking about non combo stuff!!! wut is wrong with you! XD

random:
is 4B LO K a combo if you hit yoshi out of pogo/dragonfly with it? i landed it today but haven't tested so yea. be funny if it was real.
 
OK retested, and 4B LO K is not a combo after RO K[K], far from it actually. I AC'd it in all directions except forward and backward. I tested using Maxi and Sophie.

Taimat:
Yes it's combo ONLY if you delay the LO K. If you don't delay it then its not a combo. Very useful vs jumpers and TJumpers.

Well, that means it could work in regular juggles, as long as 4B connects in similar heights (well, probably =P ).

At 0.15, the Maxi player lands 4B, LO K in a juggle after connecting 2nd kick of RO KK in CH.

I often use the 4B, LO K in for a finisher, if I get a CH 3B RO A. Even if they happened to air control, i'll still be in a good position (if they are behind me, I can perform a B+K; If they air controlled away from me, I won't be at a risk of being hit)
 
ah i duno man..... it is a combo... you must not be doing it right.. like i said either way the benifits out way the negitives....

as you can see from the video you dont even have to hold the K... and the person air controlled left and still got hit... so johnny work on your execution! haha :) and get some damn yoshi/maxi videos up on your youtube profile.. screw rock!

and i'm far from a scrub homey ;) so you can quit acting like i took to that move because i like the pretty blue colors
 
eh? work on my execution? lol it's pretty simple really

Maxi vs Maxi, i record the combo, and i try to AC it myself, and i escaped it. I tried different intervals of the LO K part.

I saw the vid, but it just means the person probably didn't AC it properly...OR.....the combo probalby works after a CH RO KK. Who knows. I tested it AGAIN, and RO K[K] -> 4B LO K is not a combo.

Maxi vids will come in time....when i'm not lazy, and Rock is the shit.


EDIT:
OK i think i figured out why we have conflicting results. It depends on HOW u deep u hit, and how fast the opponent AC and how you delay or don't delay the LO K relative to their direction of AC. It's not the most reliable of combos, as i was always able to control it somehow. But still very viable to try it cuz, well it's manly, and rings out. I'm going to check it from RO KK(CH) to see if it works more reliably there

By deep you mean "how soon" or "how far"? Wouldn't you need to delay 4B as much as possible in order to make the combo work?
