Ben gets Max on the show and subjects him to a four hour Frame Trap. Good man, Ben. I can’t tell you how much hype I have for this episode.

[@tvPH-]

Max clearly got tired towards the end. Look at his body language, hahaha. Great show, though.

[@wednesdaygeckok.7899]

I love hearing Max talk and max for this long on my schedule? 10/10

[@TylerNessss]

Max is such an amazing guest. One of the best episodes... ever. Do this again. Please.

[@martenas5341]

This. Extremely interesting, interested, and chock full of knowledge/expertise. Plus hes very articulate and enthusiastic. A+ Guest! The way he describes arcade days is exactly how i reminisce it. Fighting games were just better for me there. Loved the sticks, and no load times, and just physically be there with my mates and new freinds :)

[@Cinderkin]

I've never seen an episode of Frame Trap, even though I've been watching you guys since the GT days. Ben I'm sorry I didn't appreciate the hard work you put into this show. I'll be going back to watch them all. Great show! Love & Respect

Best show on EA

[@AndrewSkatesBadly]

Haha about toxic players on mics.. I ran into a dude that was bodying me, after winning he says "Dang dude, you're trash", and I responded just like "Haha, yeah, I'm still learning. Good game." and he sounds surprised when he says "Oh, uh, yeah I was like that at first too, wanna play again?" It was just so interesting to me that one positive remark completely changed his attitude.

[@roguespartan345]

Honestly it’s amazing how a little positivity can go a long way, I’ve made tons of friends by just being positive on the mic and always willing to learn by losing. Keep the community positive dood!

[@AndrewSkatesBadly]

@@shinobi_magi Well, I only have about 20% usage of my left arm, so it takes me quite a bit longer to get good at fighting games, I've become pretty accustomed to negative reactions, I try not to hold it against anyone.

Max just... fit right with the Allies. Great episode

[@Fleetw00d]

As much as I loved Max going off on fighting games, I actually really appreciated his thoughts and additions to games I don’t normally hear him talk about like Dreams. It was a new perspective to see of him. Thanks!

[@Siepher83]

As a Max sub since way back, maybe as early as 2011-12, the reason I've stuck with his content is done to one thing: positivity. So many channels devolve into some form of elitism or revel in putting down anyone that isn't good at the fighting games played. Max finds a way to translate his genuine hype through the screen and that's super special and his community, while much bigger than it used to be, still keeps it fun and inviting and I'm thankful for that. If he doesn't like something he'll say why and without dancing around any issues he doesn't just sit there and tear things apart for a reaction or any type of validation. Shine on Doods!

[@QuietSandshrew]

Shine on!

[@Zdman2001]

Loved the show. The panel had great chemistry and history with Max. Probably the best Frame Trap episode so far.

[@peterfox6159]

What I really liked about Kronika is that she is the perfect element to finally make sense of all the mess that the former MK story archs were. As a MK fan you often wandered what is cannon and what is not. Why a character dies and comes back. But now all of that makes perfect sense because a character like Kronika and her machinations ARE the reason why everything happend like it happend. This character truly added a binding element to the whole series. I really enjoyed that.

[@jeremyroberts8822]

Peter Fox I wasn’t a big fan of Kronika but that’s actually a really good point man. And not only did her inclusion in the game dude make everything make sense but it also basically soft rebooted the entire universe so they can literally go in any direction they want to with the story moving forward

[@agent_NJ]

Everything about this Frame Trap was perfection. Informative and hilarious, insightful and filled with intermittent lighting issues. I’ve never heard of your guest, but Max was a wonderful person to listen to. Will definitely be checking out his channel. I felt bad, I feel Kyle didn’t talk as much as I’d like, but I understand the need to have the guest have the spotlight. Keep up the great work, EZA, you bring so much joy to this world. L&R

[@MankeyGamez]

I’ve only found Max a couple months back but he’s quickly grown to be one of my favourite youtubers rn so like imma watch this whole thing

[@mdtrx]

It's weird, I knew Maximillian from elsewhere but had no idea he had something to do with GT. This isn't the first time either. Funny how likeminded people seem to come together,.

[@texteel]

I only had this experience in cities, when I get lost, wander around, but end up somewhere random. The light bulbs go off "Ooooh, this place takes me THERE!" Its strange to see it happen with people. "You know that guy, and he knows those guys, and everyone knows everyone else"

[@JazGalaxy]

Really dig Max. He’s one of those guys who proves that there really is a huge gap between the people who actually have a TALENT for youtube and then the wannabes.

[@BOTCHED]

Max is such a cool dood, hope to maybe see him on another episode in the future.

[@SparklngCyanide]

the longer Frame Trap is the better, I really Enjoy deep intricate slow burn episodes the best. Thanks for such great content, the time you put into this is very much appreciated.

[@RaveDX]

Seeing max next to my other favorite group of youtubers is a god send...

[@karjar5742]

Really glad you brought Max. Games like these require a lot of knowledge to fruitfully talk about.

[@etherwxlf]

Haven't been following Max since his bare-ass back room days, I'll just say this: You will never find a more genuine, kind-hearted, well-meaning, fun-loving dood. Sure there are the Markipliers, the PewDiePies, the etcs, but none of them are as amazing as Max. When you see a grown-ass man literally break down and cry because of his fear for letting down us--random ass people who just happen to like watching him yell at fighting games, you see something special and one of a kind. I've never met this man and we've only shared words through stream maybe once or twice, but I'll lay down my life for him without hesitation. I hope for as long as I live, I'm able to support him just as whole-heartedly as he's been entertaining us.

[@kevinmac1953]

It's cool to find out that two of my favorite channels have history

[@Wiyn27]

2 of my favorite creators doing a podcast together was super hype! As a casual fighting game fan, loved Max's insight and expanded breakdown into core fighting game mechanics here. It was extremely interesting 👍👍

[@TheOtherJonB]

Max is one of my top 2 favorite twitch streamers and i care nothing about fighting games. He and his friends are just so great

[@Zandeyninja]

Probably the best frametrap episode. Kyle didn't talk much in the first half but when he started talking the podcast got even better. Ben was a great host as usual and you can't say anything about Max, the guy is overall great dude.

[@MassiveScore]

I'm not a fighting game guy but I was hooked on the discussion. They never broke out of the frame trap though...

Something you can't say about so many other gaming channels/personalities. Deserves all the succes he has and way more. Great show guys!

Thanks. A joy to watch a 4 hours discussion. Makes MK11 grinding more doable while watching this video.

Just finished Dragon's Dogma and hunted down a FrameTrap segment where it was talked about. Delightful cast to see talking about the game.

[@ddarmo2]

Pure HYPE!!! xD So nice to see Max in frame trap!!

[@BALLA10110]

Great episode. Love the in-depth talk about mk11.

[@TheGeek327]

I feel you on Dreams. I love it but I acknowledge it takes too much time to make what I see in my mind.

[@crownoart]

I felt Kyle's criticism was a bit unfair at some points. While I agree that Dreams does have some frustrating aspects, most of Kyle's rant was focused on how he didn't want to spend his time to learn more beyond the basics. Thankfully Max and Ben counterbalanced those arguments, and Kyle himself admitted his problem was not being ready to learn and invest the time. As Ben said, you either have a simple tool that makes one thing or a very complex tool that makes all sorts of things.

[@KinglyRed]

Haven't clicked on something this fast in quite some time. Allies and Max combined may be too much hype for one video

[@parasitepaladin9381]

Thank you for picking my question, Ben! And yes I did play every Smash Ultimate classic mode. I didn't own a Wii U so it helped me learn a bunch of the characters. Plus I had fun doing it, so it is all good.

The Things people are making already in Dreams is nuts. I see so much crazy creative stuff by the minute on twitter, reddit etc. and so many of the creators are just getting comfortable with the mechanics. I'm not much of a creator, but the community is giving me a lot of hope for the future of Dreams

[@higgsscrapbook3019]

Amazing show. Very interesting. Many thanks for beeping the Sekiro spoiler. It's game I want to play but haven't gotten to yet. Much appreciated.

[@FAWKSH0UND]

I have been following the FGC for around 11 years and in the beginning the streams were VERY ghetto and the scene did not have the best people in it at all. Even for streams for SF3: Third Strike there were lots of crazy popoffs to the point where it almost came to blows. That is the root of the FGC, thats why he said stabbings were not very surprising. Lots of the people that frequented arcades to get better at fighting games were from poverty stricken areas.

[@DillonTaylorVA]

This was SUCH a treat. I would love to see Max come back in the future!

[@SooRandomTV]

Followed EZA from the days of GT - now still here supporting but I remember following max many years ago and the fact that these two groups know each other is great!

This was a great Frame Trap episode. One of my favorites.

Hell yeah!! That was awesome and I'm happy it could happen. Good job my doods

[@killadirk]

This is now my favorite episode of Frame Trap. It was so focused.... I love the passion In Frame Trap. Ben is one of the most passionate members of EZA. He clearly loves video games. However, he loves ALL video games. For the first time, there was both passion *and* focus in this show. That focus was largely on a singular genre--and I think the show was better for it.

[@PSpiceProof]

I dont know Max but this was a really fun podcast. Loved the fighting game conversation, made me want to pick up Soulcalibur IV again.

[@KingOfDarknessAndEvil]

Max is great. The most popular (and one of the most benefitial to the community) fighting game youtuber of all time, of all time.

[@Giru]

Damn, this was juicy! Great frame trap episode, loved the discussion

[@RaveDX]

Screw Avengers! This is the ultimate crossover in history!

[@AManNamedStick]

That story of Ben and the guy on the mic made me remember two stories of past fighting games and what happened to me. First was MKX I was going for the dropping fools trophy(10 ranked wins in a row) and I had already failed my first attempt at 7 wins. On my second attempt I got to 5 wins and on my sixth one not only was there a dude on mic but he was streaming. He had an audience too as he was answering questions and what not. It terrified me and he blew me up first round, but I calmed down and took advantage of openings I saw and ended up winning. What made it worse was when he saw my win precentage he said "This should be interesting." He seemed really chill though and gave me props and got excited by the fatality even though I wanted to do the brutality. The second guy was in Injustice 2 and nothing too interesting happened he was just really chill and hilarious. He seemed super calm and even though he won he gave me props and said that I was good. It was a rough match up for me as I hadn't played against Bane much. I ended up sending him a message about the good game and ended up adding him. I feel these chill people on mics who are just having fun make fighting games so much better they actually feel like some of the local fgc people I have met.

[@RayzaNC]

Good to see Max here, I'm not even that into fighting games but I watch most of his videos. I'd like to be good at fighting games but I don't have the patience to play for hours, I buy them all but never play for long.

[@EndoAyzo]

4 hour Frame Trap WITH Max - incredible stuff, thanks Ben.

[@MrConeman]

Bloodworth filled out a little. Kidding. I like this guy, honorary 10th ally.

[@Lonequacker]

Awesome to see you guys get someone as big as Max on. I've been super into the fgc pretty much my whole life but usually avoided Max's vids since outside of his EVO coverage they didn't appeal to me. But it's really great to have him on to have the only 2 allies that really play fighting games be on to talk about their varied histories. Also super interesting to learn that Max technically worked for GameTrailers for a bit because I never knew that.

[@of-Rivia]

That was awesome! I had never heard of Max before, but he was a cool ass dude. I'll have to check out his streams now.

[@KrsJin]

Cannot agree more with Max on how early on we notice the visuals and audio of the game then as we learn and grind the game that goes away. Revisiting a game you love can really make you realize those elements again.

[@Ryesia]

Such a good episode. I need more...MOAR!!

[@KeyboardKat]

I woke up here

[@stratogustav]

Kronika is a 10 out of 10 boss for me. All the details she has are well thought out. She has those childish facial mannerisms that are perfect for a god that deals with time. It just matches her nature perfectly. Mythology wise she solves so many problems that she was basically necessary, and not just mirror fights, but also different timelines in the storyline. She covers Kronos, just like Cetrion covers Gaia. It works perfectly because now Raiden gains his significance as the thunder god. I also love how Liu Kang becomes an elder god. Mythology wise that is perfection because he was the great hero from Earthrealm, and his ascension to divine status was basically what needed to happen. What would have made it even better is that Liu Kang would have turned into Fujin. That would have been such a mind-blowing twist that after all these years we didn't know Fujin was Liu Kang from the future, sadly they made him his own thing. I just really hope we get more ninjas for this game including Ermac, Tremor, Reiko, Rain, Smoke, and human Reptile, all with ninja skin options. ‌ About Cassie, she is a total cutie, her mannerisms are pretty sexy in my opinion, it is a difference kind of sexy than the one Kitana brings, which is a more traditional type of sexy.

[@fishtitz6830]

The things Max said about Sekiro is actually what I really enjoy about the game. The fact that the combat is designed for you to get up in the enemys face and practise parrying until you get it right feels satisfying and didn't break the mechanic for me. It was a really refreshing take on the combat in a souls-type game.

[@tasseiviews2947]
