Maxi General Q&A

--^idk. maybe risk a 6B in case Natsu tries something after the block and hopes 6B punishes on counter-hit.
--a 66B will however is not fast enough, Natsu will block it due to the timing and the distance space to her; in that case you can prepare to stance GI (B+K) after being blocked.
--also the same with 33B or 99B
--to close some distance rather quickly, you could also risk a high hiting 66_99_33A --> then stage a post strategy of your choosing.

*scoff* I just wish my own reaction time for those are fast enough for me to utilize effectively...

anyone else with tips to chip in?
 
Thanks for the input.

I was thinking about 66B, too. I think it makes the most sense.

I'd probably avoid 66A, in case she tries to TC with her damn bomb. Man... how I hate her.
 
I have a few questions:

1. What's the best follow up to BL BB on hit assuming they'll just block?
2. Apart from 1K, is there anything else that hits rolls to Maxi's left?
 
Coming back to after blocking Natsu's 66B. I think 6A is good: no time for her to TC with 4A+B or another 66B. 2A+B seems good, too.

And do you guys have any suggestion as to how to punish her 1A (when you can't CE)?

If you block her 66B you should try to punish with 6A+B BE or Critical edge. Her 66B is -16 and Maxi's 6A is i17 so she can block it. Plus you dont get anything off 6A on normal hit. The only problem with punishing 66B is that she can do 4 and get away from all punishes.

Her 1A is -26 on block i think so w/o CE you can get 6A+B or 66B respectively

Also never consider 2A+B GOOD EVER!!!!

What the hell?! For some reason I thought her 1A was -20. That changes a lot :P Thx, bro.

And 6A+B can't get anywhere near her after 66B. The Pushback is huge! 6A was a way to at least go into offense and prevent her from trying other 66Bs or her damn safe bomb.

You have to do 6A+B BE to punish 66B with it.

Also Maxi has slight whiffing issues on some moves.
 
Thx. I will try the BE version.

I think I've noticing some minor whiffing on B and on 2B. But it was just a light impression. I'm far from sure.
 
Oh... I'm getting her with 66B LI A. It feels so good! The timing is a little hard, but even having 66B blocked is not exactly the end of the world.

Having Natsu block a 66B gives her a free WS K~(insert favorite natsu combo here). So YES!! It very well can be the end of the world...be careful with that 66B. Thats just me tho. Im not a huge fan of using 66B to punish things like that.

WS B+K is prolly the best answer to blocking her 1A. Even if your late with it. WS B+K is safe so no harm no foul.

Then again Im not super familiar with Natsus frames, but I know her 1A has got to be horrible on block and 6A+B would be nice here.
 
Her 1A is -26. Maxi's 66B is 22. So, you get a 4 frames margin of error. I'm not sure about the range on his 6A+B in this case. Since I've put quite a bit of work on punishing her with 66B, I'll prolly stick with it. My GF was impressed at me playinga gainst Natsu's AI all day. She was like: 'you really hate her, don't you?' and I: 'oh, yes... I hate her guts!'.

I actually think punishing her 66B with 6A+B(BE) is a lot harder. No loose frames there. And you will still whiff, if she attacked on tip.
 
Youre right though. If its one thing I personally hate it when people tell me how to play. If its working for you, then roll with it homes. Good Shit!!

Cool!

(Just for the record... I do appreciate the tips :P) Cool-cool-cool!

For sure homes. IIRC You and I have squared up a few times. Possibly in ranked or something. I seem to remember expecting Ezio (cause of the name) but you played someone else.

Then again Im a somewhat crazy old man and dont remember things exactly the way they happened usually. Your name just looks familiar
 
Hummm... Solid_Altair is my PSN.

I did play as Ezio, before playing as Maxi (before that, it was Raph, ZWEI and beloved-Hilde). But I haven't played online in many months (with the exception of a private session a few days ago, my only PvP as Maxi, yet), so I guess I haven't had the honour of playing with you, yet.
 
Yo HRD FC 3AAA is the shit but do people normally duck your RO follow ups? Normally ill use it as a pressure tool
 
Only the smart ones duck RO. If they i switch to eith RO AK or RO B. after that its all a guessing game for them. I just apply pressure till they guess wrong and get my damage son.

Been playing more with 4A+B~iWS B+K, BL K BE madness. Getting iWS B+K is tricky, for me at least. But its hella flashy fun!
