Maxi needs HEAVY nerfs

[Truthless]

I dont know what they are smoking there at namco but SC6 is just ridicoulous in terms of balance. Lets take Maxi - how do you supposed to do anything against him? His moves in an endless torrent of sh_it puking at you. GI/RE? Nope, he has multiple break attacks that he pulls out of his♥♥♥♥♥ Sidestep? Nope, he has multiple vertical mixed up with horizontals he basically covers 360 area around him. Range? Nope, he has range like Seung Mina and Kilik. Did I mention endless stun locking and impossibility to cut into his strings? And even if somehow this was possible you just cant tell what he is doing at any given time. Is it a stance change? Is it a hit? Or maybe hes just flailing it like that because thats his animation.

Maxi is usually called a 'scrub-killer,' can you guess why?

I recommend getting good at the game. Try to learn the matchups; it will help you later on.

Maxi is nowhere near high tier, but he is a scrub killer.

I have felt like Maxi isn't like punishable on block...that's how it's felt in fights I've had, and so he's someonew who hits buttons on block. So I end up trying to space him, play keepaway...that sorta thing.
His break attacks can be annoying yeah.

That video says try using kicks, guess I can try that heh.

he doesn't have range so try outranging him

[Clide]

Maxi isn’t that good (he’s not bad either like b or like c+ tier) he’s just very low played so like manny of us you don’t know the matchup

Did you get bopped by richsticks? Lol

[RiftHunter4]

Maxi isn't OP. It's just that no one has played him since 2006 LOL.

You've got to play him a bit to know what's going on with stance transitions, his options and how to stop them. I can't be arsed to do this atm but I don't go on forums to complain about my own laziness either.

Im pretty sure you just described a rush down character. That's what Maxi does, he rushes you down, so you gotta keep him at a distance. As long as you do that then he doesn't really have anything to contest your range because his is super short, apart from specific attacks, but those usually have more recovery frames.

[Roohee]

A: This character is OP.
B: L2P scrub
The character gets nerfed.
B: My main is too weak, buff please!

Backstep is your friend. A lot of his pauses can only be followed up by short poked before going back to his longer ones.

Not really. He has some pretty long range hits that can reach you before you get close to him. His range is deceptive
