Made a quick video with some beginner Maxima combos.

Here's some of the combos I've found so far. I removed some of the redundant ones further down. Sorry for any notation errors. Feel free to suggest more, I'm fairly new to the franchise so don't totally know everything.

Another note, cl.D can be used as a starter for a lot of these, but I didn't list it because the range on it is really short. It does more damage overall, but just feels more inconsistent.

Meterless:
cl.C, df.C xx qcb A (243 dmg)
cr.B, cl.A, df. C xx qcb A (218 dmg)
cl.C (1), df.C xx hcb B~qcb A (221 dmg, corner carry)

Corner Only:
CD > df.C xx qcb C (231 dmg)
CD > df.C xx dp D (263 dmg)
j.CD (Counter Hit) df.C xx dp D (323 dmg)

1 bar:
cl.C, df.C xx qcb A xx qcf~qcf A/C (403 dmg)
cr.B, cl.A, df. C xx qcb A xx qcf~qcf A/C (378 dmg)
CD > qcf~qcf B/D (222 dmg)
qcb P (Counter Hit) xx qcf~qcf K (304 dmg)

1 bar (Max Mode):
cl.C (1), df.C xx MAX > cl.C (1), df.C xx qcb AC > dp BD (379 dmg midscreen, 401 corner)
**Note: You can do 2 hits of cl.C to start with for more damage, but it's more difficult to link after the Max Mode Activation because of how far you are
cl.C (1), df.C xx MAX > cl.C (1), df.C xx qcb AC > hcb BD~qcb A (396 dmg, corner carry)

Corner Only:
