0 meter

• cl. B, df + C, hcb + B, qcb + A/C = (211 dmg)

Good combo versus downed opponents without a wakeup. The close B hits low despite being a standing attack. On success, the combo pushes the opponent to the corner into a hard knockdown state. If the combo gets blocked, I recommend mixing up between doing nothing, QCB + A, and QCB + C based on how you think the opponent will respond.

• A, df + C, qcb + A (200 dmg)

Less range dependent than the previous combo. Be aware though that the df + C will whiff at distances of about 75% of a character and above. Also puts the opponent into a hard knockdown state.

• cr. C, qcb + A (174 dmg)

An important combo for getting in since cr. C has one guard point for Maxima; that means he can take one hit without being interrupted. Use this against predictable pokes to help get in close and personal with Maxima.

1 meter

• cl. B, df + C, hcb + B xx qcfqcf + A/C = (339 dmg)

Same concepts as the previous combo except it ends with a super. Also leaves the opponent in a hard knockdown state, leaving them in the corner to guess again on wakeup.

• A, df + C, qcb + A (200 dmg)

Again, the df + C may whiff if you're too far away, so be mindful of that.

• qcf + A, qcf + A (215 dmg)

The first QCF doesn't do anything, it's just a method to buffer the super motion. Maxima's A has a max range of about one character away, so use this to punish at that distance.

• cr. C, qcb + A xx qcfqcf + A/C (354 dmg)

If you are at a distance of one character or greater when you do the combo, the super will miss. However, remember that cr. C has one point of guard, so again use this to help get in versus pokes.
