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.

See Strategy for a full strategy breakdown.

-Maxi's father had worked in the Ryukyu Kingdom as a merchant. Though fortunate enough to be able to experience different cultures on his trade route, he nevertheless felt tied down by his job, and would complain bitterly to his son. On his deathbed, he told Maxi to go out and see the world. Obeying his father's dying wishes, Maxi gathered friends from his hometown and some sailors he knew, and formed a pirate crew.
