I dig this Maxi player. He keeps doing 22/66 A pretty often, inspiring. He does a very good counterhit followup to it. Step forward, hold 6b+k, 6a+b and then oki moment:
Jesus, I just realized you can do wavering light (auto gi) after a B whiffs in RE. Raise the odds in Maxis favour.
I don't see any of the good Maxis use hold 6b+k, massive guard damage and safe unless sidestepped, looks hard to react to though. Why don't you?
I use it when they are in turtle...
I decided to learn this new Maxi playing him as if the opponent would not fall for my gimmicks. Focusing on the core essentials: spacing and ringouts, pokes, throws, amazing TC punish moves 6a+b/44b and paying alot of attention to hit confirm all my strings, less so for RO A,K and 1b. Also on...
Important video to demonstrate and learn what Maxi players need to get good at to beat keep away characters including Ivy. 1) applies in general to Maxi 's game plan.
I found the recipe to be:
1) I need to work in 66a+b into muscle memory for fast execution from any situation (crouch, step etc)...
It has a short backstep and TC property does it not, that's what I see. I have had a lot of success adding that space to make things whiff. Except against long range chars. Then it,s useless in that regard. And against Taki that is in TC alot.
Check out SC Yin. The best player on YouTube except for IRM I have found so far. But two different play styles:

IRM, I did not see many Maxi players in videos before that can compete with you and KrazyieCD but GOLD Lopez might be even be better then both of you ;). This match is so frakking good it's like a choreographed martial arts movie scene.
I believe
Krayzie CD
Is the best Maxi mover so far. Good guy to study. He's so good at being in your face without being punished for the stepping. When I try I look more like a slow version of him, I didn't get what I was doing wrong, Hence letting Maxi go for a while, but now I'm ready to...
IRM, you've gotten really good at movement. Saw your latest Tourney, really unlucky there at the end against Kilik. So close :)
Can you give some input tips? I dropped Maxi for a while cause I couldn't get the movement down to bring him to the next level. Got some tips? Finding a good moment to...
Yup, it all works but timing is to difficult for me at least. There is no difference in timing if you first land a stun like 4a. On Astas hit box it is easy to land it.
I did not know about that either. But the timing is certainly strict, I can't find it. Seems to rely on the 66a input being perfectly executed fast after the g turn around frames end. Can you find the timing yet?
If 44k or 44baa is better depends on what you want. RO you know already, but 44baa also charges the brave edge meter more which is sometimes better then a little extra damage. It also creates wall splats.
One reminder for those who missed it. When you have a corner behind you 1b BE, 9k, 66k is...
There's a scientific explanation for this. You know some ladies are genetically predisposed to putting fat in certain places (gynoid fat) in this case the boobs. Their boobs grow as they age. That's our lady Ivy here. She's been munching on lots of fast food in-between games!
