Maxi General Discussion/Q&A Thread

I found an unlisted stance transition. I don't see it mentioned anywhere, so I'll throw this out if anybody doesn't know.

Normally :(2):_:(8)::B: is listed as Steel Dragon into Left Outer, but :6::B: is just Steel Dragon. But if you input it as
:6::bB:, the standing version will also transition into Left Outer.

So you have these variations:
:6::B: Vanilla Steel Dragon
:6::B::4: Branding Nunchaku to Left Inner
:6::bA::A::B: or :6::bA::A::(B): Serpent's Desire String
:6::bB: Steel Dragon to Left Outer

The variations from :(2):_:(8)::B: are similar, but also unlisted.
:(2):_:(8)::B: Steel Dragon to Left Outer
:(2):_:(8)::B::4: Branding Nunchaku to Left Inner
:(2):_:(8)::bA::A::B: or :(2):_:(8)::bA::A::(B): Serpent's Desire String

The only difference is that from 8-way-run, the stance transitions from Steel Dragon are automatic and you can't do a vanilla Steel Dragon. Branding Nunchaku (:6::B::4:) can also be cancelled with :G: during any of its five hits, but no matter where you cancel it or if you let it finish, it will always transition to Left Inner.

I'm not sure how useful this information will be. It might just be raw data. However, it may help you understand the mechanics, and that may spill over to other moves in his move list.
