Maxi General Q&A

And i thought the DOA5 reveal trailer was cool...

The SCV TGS trailer is sooo sweet!!


Just wow! O-O

Even if Asta smashes Maxi in the ground... We know that Maxi gets up again. ^^
 
In that trailer he goes at pat with a 66B move that looks a little like SC2 66B. It gets stepped but it looks cool and better than SC2 66B. Anyway, new move!!! Im seriously nothing but happy with everything i have seen this far.

I just watched the pyrrah fight. This kid is extra terrible with maxi but i noticed a few things. Given his mashy play im guessing he was doing 66A, but he could have been doing 33A, anyway the move was SC4 33A but it comes out extremely high, i even saw it whiff over pyrrah's head on an off axis. It also doesnt knockdown, it spins them around back turned. But it goes into loop as i could tell, and SC4 WS A+B came out but i couldnt tell if it was LI or BL.

After AA RC AB he does Wavering Light. The only WL move i saw him do though was the last hit of 6BBB. We saw him do the BT B+K in another loop after the one maxi player does the new 3A which was old BL A.

God I would give anything to see one kid do B or 236B or 3B+K or 2A+B.

The shift past LO to RC seems pretty fast. Not enough to get us out of trouble but atleast faster.

Yep, saw that too. 66A is appereantly not tiger pounce.
 
Thanks! Yeah, the new WL move makes me wonder what they did the 6B series. Am I out of my mind or have I not seen anyone do a regular-ass standing B yet? Really curious about it now that SC2 3B is back.

Edit: something else I just noticed in that Pyrrha vid that I missed in other videos. The last hit of RC AB can be used as a guard break (45 seconds in), seemingly without any charge. It uses a little bit of meter, but there's no "Brave Edge" indicator under Maxi's lifebar, so maybe guard breaks require meter?

Also, in the trailer above, Astaroth JGs RC AB, so it looks like guard breaks can be JG'd. :/

Not happy about that, but we'll see how it pans out.
 
Yep, i didn´t see even a single B either... :/

And yeah, i saw that JG of Asta against Maxis guard brake. Well, talking about major changes...
 
ooo vids.
2nd hit of RC KK series juggles lower.
33A doesn't knockdown it seems, hitsun setups with them BT :D hopefully
Successful WL seems to give automatic hit, as a true autoGI. IT autoGId a 2A yay!!! looks too fast to respond to a reGI, could possibly RO for rudeness sweeeeet
RO B(CH) gives crumple stun into combo. I wonder if there's something stronger than RC AB :D
LI B definitely stepped to the right. Hmmm I hope we can get both directions heh
 
I've reseached Maxi today.

66B : new move you can see on newest trailer. goes into Left Inner. can do the combo with new LI A on hit.
44B : old 2KB's 2nd attack. hit grounded opponent. goes into Right Outer.
11_77_44K : very acrobatic kick. something like Lee-Chaolan or Raven's one. very long , fly into the air , and kick them down. has a force-crouch property on block. very interesting but too slow to abuse. difficult to use.

(removed attacks)
FC1A gone.
follow-ups from Wavering Light are gone. wavering light has auto GI and auto punishment now.
33bA gone.

(Right Outer)
RO AK is now NC!
6A(CH) -> RO AK is 3hit combo. useful.
RO B is SC3's one. but there's no BBK... it's single attack. goes into Right Cross.
RO KK and RO KA are here. RO KA is old one(mid->low mixup)

(Behind Lower)
BL A is SC3's one. step back and slap.
BL BB! new mixup. old BL B(mid)-> SC4's RO B. goes into Left Outer.

(Right Cross)
RC AB. elbow -> old FCA+B. but it doesnt go to any stances. it can be BE-ed with RC AB A+B+K. on its BE, it has a guard break and goes into Left Inner.
RC B is not changed but lost its guard break property.
RC KK is not changed but lost its 3rd kick? I'm not sure.

(Left Outer)
LO AK, LO BK not changed
LO K is SC3's one(low sweep)

(Left Inner)
LI A is mid back fist now!
LI B goes his right side.
there's LI but there's no LI BG
LI K is a new move. quick high kick.

(not found how to do)
PSL3(A+K stance loop). I saw it on Kayane's interview video. but I can't do this.
and I can't find how to do 4AB. I tried but I did 4A only.
 
Wow, HUGE thanks oosaka. Do you have any other thoughts on this Maxi so far? Seems old RC A is gone for good. :/

I really like the potential for BE 6A+B though. Maybe the new LI K is the old Wavering Light K?

Oh, and does this mean old, safe standing B is back? :3
 
yay thanks. I love new Maxi because of his fast step and run, fast stance shift and cancels.
Yes, new LI K resembles old W Light K. but this new one is more more Bruce-Lee-like move. very cool.

SC5 is high damaging game.
all of the characters have their painful whif panishment.
so be careful... you should not do stance attacks in far distance.
you should cancel stance and dash forward, then restart to go into stance loops strategy.
SC5 maxi has very fast stance shift and cancels so you can do it.
 
So loops are strong now? That's good to hear. It seems that opponents will need to use JG and GI to stop Maxi's stance offense. If he has fast shifts and stance cancels like you say, that's fine with me. :)

Maybe LI K gives frames on block. That might be a good way to get people to duck so you can use LI A and B.
 
this is very good news. Thank you so much oosaka. Ive an admirer of your maxi for quite sometime now.

33bA is gone!!??? oh my, I whore that move out its one of my favorites!
And no more LI Bg fun? oh dear!!

Thats ok. With the damage buffs and faster frames, Im very excited to work with this stuff!!

thank you oosaka. I look forward to taking notes from your vids once again...LOL

HRD
 
Oosaka what about FC 3A? In one of the videos we saw the move performed and it even had a super fast transition after the last hit to RO. Maybe it just had a different command that you didn't find? And after the changes you mentioned I'm skeptical about Maxi but I guess we'll see. Good to hear he has fast step but it seems everyone has been made faster in general, even Astaroth seemed to move a lot better than his SC4 counterpart.
