If he goes through a poke you can block/GI/JG the second hit. Even on pretty negative things like 1B. Asta gets nothing from that.

I don't have any particular problems against Maxi. Personal obstacles is me reacting to 2A+B consistently, as well as FC 3A-. Other than that, I treat it as any other match. I've figured that playing keep out VS him, and staying out of his stancing benefits a lot- and playing Krayzie whenever I'm in Cali, we've discussed the match up. Aside from 66B, It's hard for Maxi to get in a start an offense. While Maxi's getting in, I aim to kill stepping along side breaking his guard. And relying on 66B can be risky.Xeph:
I saw your play from a while back, more or less the ideal way Asta should face Maxi (though I've yet to see you versus a Maxi). What struggles do you face from that side?
So your findings mirror mine. With the way SCV's movement is, this match up seems to favor Asta. jG is a two way street so it is hard to point at it like a match-up level solution. Need broader tools.I don't have any particular problems against Maxi. Personal obstacles is me reacting to 2A+B consistently, as well as FC 3A-. Other than that, I treat it as any other match.

However, once Maxi's in- running an offense with 1B/44B and 6A+B can be hard to deal with. Best option is to poke and retreat. or mix ups Maxi in your grab game.
Yeah, it seems like Maxi lacks a step-kill that will lunge him forward. Whilst Astaroth can just stand 3feet away, and run backdash/step killers. JGing is a two way street- in most cases, players won't know what to JG/ or haven't practiced the moves to learn to JG.So your findings mirror mine.

People think Siegfried is a bad match up? I don't get it. We can punish him pretty bad with 6a+b. Also WS B+K > SCH mix ups. Id say the match up is even, if not slanted slightly towards maxi.
Any tips for fighting against Voldo?
I believe that general strategy is to interrupt his mixups with some fast low. The problem is - the only low that comes fast enough (1K) has short range.
Other than that I've been trying to JG his 66B BE (can't do that outside of training mode - maybe once for every 10 fights fought) and duck under his flying circular kick (sorry, I don't know the inputs).
I'd say one huge tactic that Maxi has going for him in this matchup is the fact that once you block 1K and Voldo is in backturned, there is no mixup. You simply 6A+B and it beats everything he can do besides block. His aGI doesn't work against 6A+B, and as long as you're close enough his BT 1A also loses to 6A+B. Matter of fact, any attack that leaves him in BT, just use 6A+B after as long as you're in range. Other than that, watch out for the fact that he can escape a lot of mixups by doing his evade into landfish. If you can read an evade just 1K to stop the landfish BS.
BT Throw can evade 6A+B
and yes bt aGI does work against 6A+B actually, all mids
This should be the first post in every single thread in the Maxi SA6A+B is golden.
