Maxi Video Discussion

@hotnikkelz: I am waiting for your clip hotnikkelz. Before watching you versus against Sophi in Soul Calibur IV, I never though Maxi has a chance with Sophi. You changed my mind. Now I hope I can see more clips of yours in Soul Calibur V

Another person I really want to watch the clip is Spyder, he is one of the reasons I chose Maxi in Soul Calibur 2
 
KDZ's maxi is improving with each tournament. I also have problems dealing with backdashing, i find myself running in and hoping for the best. I have been using 66K a lot...but i wish it were mid. I think i'll have to trying working 22B since 66B is a bit too unsafe although the reward is good
 
66B's risk/reward doesnt seem to be in maxi's benefit. I have almost taken that move out completly unless I know its gonna hit. Which isnt all that often since its easily side stepped.

But Maxi in the upper levels of a major tourney......makes my pants really tight.....get it?

HRD
 
KDZ congratulations on the finals! Have to ask though, were you nervous cause you were using alot of unsafe moves 66b, not much hit confirming. I have a feeling this will only work as long as players are bewildered by his moves. Once they get to know Maxi poking and hit confirming will be the shit.

mitsu's hurtboxes have been doing that random shit since SCIV at least :/ really good stuff from jag and saitoh, though! don't forget to 66B+K after getting the WL GI :>

Actually I tried to CE after the aGI but missed the (easy) buffering. I was too unfamiliar with the combo at the moment, as Oosaka showed it to me first a few hours before the tournament.
 


I know it's anti-Maxi but I really think it's going to help us all in the end =)
English version is coming by the way, probably around the week-end.
 
It's not letting me watch your video. I'm getting the message "The requested video is not allowed to be played in embedded players."
 
Oh shit thats hype... I hit that aGI often! I thought I tried it before but maybe I was inputting it too slow... I knew about the LI K one... but holy shit aGI to CE is SEX !

I wish I could see a few more high level maxis before final round...

Id like to see more of Krayzie, johnny's, uberleets, and fhwoarangs!

If anyone knows any vids of these guys post'em up.
 
I always use aGI to CE its a great way to end a match. totally demoralizing for the enemy. been doing it since barry (I think) said it was possible before the game came out. (and its a really easy buffer)
 
Always be aware of your positioning on a stage where you can ring out, or if a CE will kill when fishing for a WL auto GI. If you are nowhere close to killing the person or near the edge then you should be using 66B+K or 66B. It's good to practice the buffer during the animation regardless of the situation so that you are always ready.
 
So my defense has gotten alottttt better against this character, wondering by anybody am i playing this match-up right? I seen someone mention having trouble with opponents who backstep.

Another question. That guardbreak he does, that reaches really far and technically becomes and unblockable when its blocked because of maxi's follow-up, has to be charged all the way each time right there isnt an early release version is there?

Chasing people down is a pain. Most of Maxi's options for closing distance are linear, and he's SOL if he whiffs most of them. (Stuck in stance w/66B or 33_99B, has massive recovery from 66B+K etc.) If Maxi's looking to check step at distance he has 22_88A and 66A. 66A has relatively lousy range and it's H. 22_88A is good but it's slow and can be interrupted.

Backstepping also messes up a lot of Maxi's mixup options.

LI B doesn't have to be charged. Maxi obviously loses the unblockable followup if he does that though. A quick mid during the stance transition will likely interrupt the whole mess. (Then you have to start watching for the aGI.)
 
The charged LI B can be stepped very easily to either side, so as long as he passes the max charge threshold go for it.
Try to duck that K in the LO BK string. That's the vertical into the jumping chuck norris kick.
Be wary of using verticals vs Maxi's stance game. Opt for attacks that are TCs, horizontals, and mid. Eg for Tira, GS 4A is viable as well as GS 3A
