Soulcalibur VI/Maxi/Introduction

From SuperCombo Wiki

Introduction

Maxi is an aggressive rushdown character who rapidly cycles between various stances to crush his opponents like a stylish, nunchaku-wielding wave.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Diverse range and tools
  • Plenty of combo starters, especially on counterhit
  • Constant pressure with stances
  • Easily suffocates opponents unfamiliar with the matchup
  • High level of knowledge required to play in using his stances and transitions
  • Limited options when in stance
  • Lackluster okizeme against opponents who stay grounded

Unique Mechanic

Seven Stars Severence

After switching from one stance to another, if Maxi uses an attack from that second stance, he adds a star for that stance on a constellation that appears briefly onscreen. If each star - representing each stance in his repertoire - is filled in, he permanently unlocks upgrades to a few attacks and a new lethal hit for his B+K.B.B.B.A string.
