Combos

  • j. C -> cl. D -> df C -> HD -> cl. D -> df C -> qcb + A -(DC)-> qcf + AC -(MC)-> hcb x 2 + AC = 1110 Damage
  • d.B, d.A, hcb+B.qcb+P -->
  • (d.Ax3)/(d.B, d.A, df.C), Ex qcb+P (wires), df.C, (df.C), dp+K/Ex hcb+K.qcb+P -->
  • Crossup j.C, d.A, df.C, qcb+P/hcb+B.qcb+P -->
  • Crossup j.C, d.A, df.C, Ex hcb+K.qcb+P, [DC] Ex qcb+P, (wire) df.C, dp+K
  • Hyperhop/hop C, Ex air.qcb+P, Ex qcb+P (wires), df.C, dp+K
  • If, --> Ex hcb+K.qcb+P, [DC] qcb+P, [SC] qcfx2+P
  • If, --> hcb+K.qcb+P, [SC] qcfx2+P
  • If HD, --> [SC] qcfx2+P, [MC] hcbx2+P NM
  • d.B, d.A, df.C, Ex qcb+P (wires), hcbx2+P NM
  • qcb+P (counter), hcbx2+P NM


Tips

  • Maxima Press B is unblockable, it's considered a command grab. However, when it connects it'll press him against the wall. The whiff animation looks like any command grab.
  • Maxima Press D is unblockable but has a slow start up.
  • EX Maxima Press is blockable but is fast.
  • All of Maxima's ground strong normals, have Guard Point (autoguard); d.D is the only exception.
  • Vapor Cannon C will wire if it's a counter, EX Vapor Cannon will counter wire every time.
  • d.C empty cancels.
  • GP'ing takes no tick damage at all. It is possible to Guard Point Joe's entire Screw Upper DM (qcfx2+P)!


Quick notes between these two combos:

--> EX qcb+P (wire), df.C, (df.C), Ex hcb+K -->

vs

--> Ex hcb+K.qcb+P, [DC] Ex qcb+P (wire), df.C, dp+K


Use the second one for more damage, but first one if you only have 2 stocks and no Cancels. Arguably, both combos can be extended, but use the first one for SCs and MCs as it uses one less Drive Cancel already.


Maxima only has three special moves (if you count Air Vapor Cannon, he has four). The cool thing is he does massive damage and his limit is his stocks (the more he has the more creative the combos can get). df.C has pretty good horizontal range as well.
