Not completly....Im still a lot better on a controller than a stick. But on my stick. I aint got shit binded at all either.
I played Dustbuster the other day. Played bout 10 or so rounds. If your going by FT10 rules then he won. But you know what....mother fucker......I kept track, EVERY ROUND he won, there was a low involved. Im not exaggerating and it was some stupid shit to like LO A, 2K, 3A+K etc Who the fuck uses LO A?
@DustbusterGF....Youre not gonna wanna hear this. But dude u abuse the fuck out of online lag. Shit you do online WILL NOT WORK OFFLINE. Thats the bottom line. Dont get all butt hurt. Youre not bad maxi player, thats not what Im tryin to say AT ALL. But you have a "Ranked" style "do whatever to win" type mentality, and its VERY apparent in the way you play. All these lows you hit me with....id be beating your ass if we were playing offline cuz Id be blockin and punishing all day.

I use an A+K bind. Too much of a hassle to do fake PSL3 into a A or K otherwise.
Also, whats up with throwing g into all these commands? I didn't want to say anything, but it is misleading. Maxi only has a few cancels.

I do use 4B just very sparingly unless I can out guess my opponent consistently
I use a lot more 3B and FC 3AAA then anything else

I dislike FC 3AAA, it's so weak lol. All maxis play so differently haha it's so cool.
3B puts u in a scenario similar to 3B minus the options :|
how is it different than 4B? Same guess, but less reward. Nothing from RO will give u more damage than LO BK CH.
I'll tell u why. 4B -> LO BK is UNINTERRUPTABLE on block
3B -> ANYTHING is INTERRUPTABLE on block. eg. Amy's 3A will interrupt EVERYTHING u do once she's in range (psl3 GI fails). 4B doesn't suffer from that problem. There are some others i can't remember offhand, but experience has taught me that 4B is the overall much better loop starter. If 4B irks you, use 4B -> LO A. It is safe and evasive and u can tag the K on the end for hasty ones.

Oh, we are bitching about 3B again? I don't want to be left out on that.
3B sucks if your opponent knows how to deal with it. Just about every character has an option that will interrupt all your RO attacks. So on block you have to go in to a bullshit guessing game between PSL2, guard, and RO A to not take damage. It is about the same range as throw/B+K, so why not use the safer, more damaging mix-up?
Check this out.

HRD: I was gonna say, LO A is actually a good low for it's evasiveness and safety. It both goes a little to Maxi's left to evade some verts, TCs highs, and is safe. It's easy as shit to block offline, true, but it's still good and needed. LO A isn't a low I get too pissed about online, at least it doesn't knock down and do too much damage. But yeah, it works way more online than offline. What can you do though, it's online play and that's why matches on there mean nothing.

That thread was started by Filthie Rich, who is working at Namco along with the director of the new project soul team. He is supposedly relaying some ideas and requests to the team who is already at work on the game. In addition, the director tweets little tidbits about the production of the game every now and then.
Kvasir: Only thing 3B has over those options is that it tech crouches. That is why when I'm at point blank I usually go for 1B instead, even though 1B doesn't TC as long as I need it to sometimes.

Dustbuster is NOT a BAD maxi player. Hes not fabulous wither. Rule out the LO A's for a second. regardless the guy isnt garbage but has no reason to be putting up any of is tips. Hes not as good as he thinks he is.
I give him credit tho.hes trying to get some offline sessions with the canadians. Im dying to see how that pans out.
4B>3B by a long shot.

RO K beats amys 3A iirc
it also jumps over sophies 6B and raphs 4B
also im pretty sure RO K(K) does more damage then LO BK CH
RO K variants are godlike
im also pretty sure RO B CH does more damage to
RO is a completely different stance then LO imo
I much prefer the pressure RO gives me with RO A not to mention mix ups
RO A > BL KK/PSL 3 LO BK

kvasir: everyone says 3B>RO loses to all fast TCs but heres the reality: RO B trades with i16s. how many TCs are i15 or faster? I can only think of umbrella amys 3A and iMCF( which loses to RO K)
I use 3B RO A for the pressure people get antsy if you 3B RO A 3B RO A 3B RO A, thats when they make mistakes Ill either get a BL KK CH for 50 or so damage or switch up RO A wit RO B

Maybe I did not write it clear enough. In maxis stances holding g still allows a,b,k commands to execute. Normally holding g stops any other inputs. It makes controlling Maxis stances and hit confirming easier. Im not talking about which moments allow cancels. Read again or go to training and try if you don't understand.

There are moves slower than i15 which deal with all of Maxi's attacks after a blocked 3B. X's 1B+K, Mitsu's 1B, Astaroth's 6B+K, Maxi's iWR A, Kilik's 8*B, etc. Even characters without an ideal counter can make it a 50/50. Zas for example can use 66B+K/AA to deal with all of Maxi's options.
Having said all that, I actually still use 3B. It's a bad move when used as a key offensive tool, but I'd never argue that it doesn't have any uses.
Um, I don't understand why that helps you, but I'm happy it does. Anyway I wasn't referring to your post. It's just a general thing that's been happening on this forum for a long time. Like you say G doesn't usually have any effect when used from stance, but sometimes people throw it onto the ends of commands anyway.

Id take that 50/50
also X1b+K and mitsu 1B both lose to psl 4 and 5 which is why I say they arent bad because moves that would normally shut you down don't anymore
kilik is bullshit anyway so he doesn't count

Well here's the thing, man. 3B has counters to everything, some give decent damage, some don't guarantee anything and your taking considerable risk no matter what. Does it make sense to use your momentum to drag yourself into a 50/50 guessing game with the opponent?

Hello im new here (been reading around for the last month like no other :D). I main maxi and I find lo A to be great offline as well as online. Not that I expect to hit with it even though I do alot online ofc but bc the k is uninteruptable after witch leads to giant mixup possibilitys lo A to throw is nice and lo A 1b fc3aaa works to. Or personal favourite train them to block 1b after lo A and land a massive 9k 33ab rc A damage etc. However thats why I find it really good cause hitting maxi in lo A aint easy and ballsy to. 4blobk works great vs subpar opponents 4BloB mixups with rc A etc works somewhat good but they are a lil to slow for my liking and can be easily interupted vs good anti maxi players imo. Also bear in mind my thoughts bear no weight I only played this game for 6 weeks this is just what I gathered so far. Im in sweden so anyone have a good connection with that I will happily play you.

Also If I played any of u and u noticed some laglows i e 1as they are always meant as 2a pokes but the dpad says otherwise. Also 2k is a solid move I find since its nc as 2kk I think and useable at a 0 frame advantage or given frame advantage situation. And since u can mix it up with 2kb for huge damage combos or wakeup LI Bs etc I think it rocks. But is it an approved move or can it be ducked on reaction offline. Good to know imo if I should use it online or leave that move at home.
WARUI_NE
Prettier than you
yes because you do way more dmg then any of those TCs previously mentioned with either RO B or RO K(K)
also maxis 1A isn't a lag low its great on and offline
IDK about 2KK/2KB mix ups, but I like doing 2K then threatening with 2KB if they attack after 2K

Bubbles I hope you keep that same mentality until when I play you again so I can be guaranteed another win in a mirror match, lol. I swear I don't agree with a lot of the stuff you post in terms of move selection and gameplan but hey, to each his own.
I don't use 1A online because no matter how good it is offline, it's still a slow, well ranged, low horizontal, and for the most part a free hit online whereas offline it's pretty slow. Doesn't matter if it's good offline, plenty of lows are good offline that are considered lag tacts online. Kilik 2A+K is an excellent low IMO, so is Mitsu 1A, Cass 1A, etc. The only thing more fair about Maxi's 1A online is that it doesn't knock down but it still leads to a guessing game afterwards that can set him up to get more damage.
