Maxi General Q&A

is there any real reason to use LI K? i only really even think about it after CH 22A. since LI A kills backstep and LI B might hit sidestep/crouch i don't see any reason to ever use LI K.

Li K for combos thats about it. Li K was really good untill the masses started JG and stepping Li Completely

You dont get shit from raw Li K anymore. people know that you can step all Li Options to Maxi's Left and or duck outta anticipation. Only good Li Move is Li B

Well after 22_88A on hit I'm pretty sure you can't step anything except maybe LI B]. After LI K is blocked, you get awesome mixup. 6A, grab, 6A+B, iFC 3A, 44A, 2A, 3K, 44B, etc. So much.

A good majority of the Cast can AA you if you try to follow up after they block a Li K. Pyrrha for example. if the pyrrha is dumb enough to block a Li K in the first place she is at -4 maxi is at +4 even at -4 pyrrha can AA you for just doing 22A before Li K or B Li A is -35 and i hope no maxi players here are taking that gamble. All the options you listed will get snuffed fairly hard by everyone except maybe Astaroth.

True Pyrrha can JG the LI K and punish, but the A and B have different JG timings and you CAN'T interrupt on NH(thats what I'm talking about. Not on block. Of course she can interrupt you then). If they do block the LI K and AA, you can 2A, AA, CE, WR B+K, 236K(I think) or 6A+B to beat her.

lol you dont get it you were talking about 22A on NH into Li K!!! ive tested this and your point is Void i dont think you are testing these before you are posting them because from what i have tested it seems you are talking out of your ass. if you get hit by 22A on NH you can duck before Li K even comes out. and if you can duck before Li K even comes out you can obviously whiff punish it. if you do WS B+K after Li K on block the 2nd A will hit, if you do 6A+B the first A will trade. to be completely honest if the player was smart there really isnt a Mix up of Li K if you stand there afterward what are you gonna do throw?!! If they are gonna block the K they wont do anything regardless unless you are a scrub and try to follow up with the BNB A+Bg and if thats the case if they do any highs or any Vertical faster than i17 your ass is fucked because Nuetral guard isnt gonna save you. iFC 3A?!!! hahaha you mean the i25 low? you mine as well go for 2A+B. o wait that +4 frames makes it i21...Eat a luancher. 2A is viable and CE is Viable but if CE is blocked RIP.
Your point invalid for it being a high the entire cast has an answer. Li K is a good move if its not JG but if you go into Li from 22A you mine as well go for Li B K is just not up to snuff anymore.

I've tried in battle and either I have been late, or it might just randomly be unduckable. True I haven't tested in training so you're probably right lol. But every time I've tried(not that many cause I almost never fight Maxi), I've been unable to duck.

Delay the WR B+K then and I guess 6A+B doesn't work. lol again. There is a mixup after LI K. If the enemy has a fast AA, then it limits your mixup. There's still always a mixup after it.

I've yet to see iFC 3A blocked on reaction and since you're at +4, they're either going to AA, block, SS, or GI. Duck the AA, and beat the other 3. Also, why the hell would they go for a LNCer? Only a button mashing scrub that doesn't know what frames are would do that. Don't use iFC 3A so often after LI K that it becomes a habit. They shouldn't use a LNCer unless you know they are going to do that. And lots of things are viable. Just because some things have a couple small weaknesses doesn't mean that they aren't viable.

236K =Stab and dont even get me started on OS JG....Disgusting

I was saying that 236K might be an answer to AA lol.
 
What "mix-ups" can you get with a LI K?

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT A MINUTE.......

I just remembered I dont care what paranormal thinks. So nevermind

Maxi doesn't need to duck. 6A+B works for anti LI K in that situation.
