I discovered Maximilian a couple of months ago. Thanks to him I decided to give another go at fighting games. I was a huge fan and player of fighting games in the mid-90's. Then stopped playing in early 2000s to never really come back to that genre. Until recently. The Dood's passion is infectious and I thank him for it. I've been having so much fun learning SF6 lately. I'm currently Iron, slowly making my way up to Bronze. A noob dood for sure. But it's been so much fun to come back to the fighting games genre. My 40yrs old ass is happy.

[@xboxpenguin8705]

Glad to hear you’re back playing fighting games! Enjoy SF6!

[@sirrayfurd]

Climbing Iron with you man. 🤙

[@ScrubSuiNoHado]

Great to hear, good luck dude.

I definitely _feel_ the difference between when he was "making the journey up the ranks" between this game and SFV. It's so tangible it hurts. There's no _misery_ here. There's no feeling like he's doing this out of an obligation to people, or that he just has other things to do while playing. Here, the exchanges are so lively. His commentary informative at times, with nary a word of lag or netcode. This, right here, is all someone needs to advertise the online functionality of the game. It's not perfect, but when "it's so good that it doesn't need to be addressed", that's as good as it gets, right there. Glad to see Max enjoying himself.

[@Darkkfated]

Agreed. Pretty much all you ever hear about SFV's ranked grind is how miserable it is. I remember watching videos of Brian_F or MDC_Jimmy playing for hours in SFV Ranked, getting smurfed, lag in almost every match, rollback doing it's best delay-based netcode impersonation, and after 2 hours they'd stop, having lost 100 points and obviously angry and frustrated. SF6 grind, on the other hand, more often looks like this. 'nuff said.

[@MaisuBirb]

Man this dood is so humble and respectful it's actually heart warming

Watching Max's Ken is such a relief from the spamming quit immediately Ken's I've been seeing so far lol.

[@grizzykuma5246]

What rank are you?

[@momodono07]

Never imagined I would ever watch an hour of Street Fighting without even getting bored. Love your content, your gameplay and your attitude during your games, it's just so pleasing to watch !

[@devn26]

God that drive rush to back walk so the gief wiffed his grab. Dirty. Love it.

[@cavy83_73]

Scrolled to far not to see this comment, it was awesome

[@PathFinder1490]

A whole HOUR of SFVI ranked gameplay??!! We want an hour-long Freak Fights!!! Just kidding, this is great. 🍿🍿🍿

[@ripgasbaron9716]

"Just kidding" NU UH

[@tomasavendanozacarias5205]

why not both?

[@ima_monsterm]

23:30 the combo works. You just have to prolong the second kick just a tad longer. It's about a 50% combo.

[@JM_FromThaStreetz]

Wait the Luke that ended your streak was an old school super smash bros. Melee player, Falcomist. Did not expect to see an old melee head playing SF6, let alone in a Max video

[@sabrinas.79]

a lot of smash veterans started playing sf6. some even make videos explaining how great sf6 is to jump into as a smash player.

[@Yemmer]

To paraphrase something Woolie once said "you tell them the pot prize is big enough and they gonna come"

[@monty083083]

You’re in rare form Max. Don’t drop this game.

[@Xzeihoranth]

The only thing Max is afraid of on Manon more than her command grab is her slide.

[@TrayTheProdigy]

The Way Max Handled That JP Is Hilarious 10:05

[@ganymede4030]

Good shit Max. I been running drills practicing that stand HK punish counter lol. Feels good to get that shit even semi consistently now

[@ThatRedHusky]

Man that JP needed to use his setups. He just never used tele, never used his mid pokes. Get your mixup game in there and you got it my guy.

[@JohnGuyJohn]

1:39 "We're going to put him in a situation where he has to make a big call." Max may not be pro-tier, but this kind of "thinking two moves ahead" strategy is something to see.

[@TheCameraBro]

People sleep on Max’s skill but he’s been playing all kinds of fighting games for decades. Dude is like a walking history book on the entire genre

[@KusanagiMotoko100]

Max calls himself more of a casual players nowadays but his fundamentals are so strong, it's really impressive.

[@fettibomba4504]

well he plays these games for over 25 years now

[@GhibliNova]

I've been watching for a while now, since about 2014ish, a buddy of mine got me into Marvel 3, so naturally I found this channel, and fell in love with SF3 series, and then dabbled in U4, and then was so excited SFV was going to be my first Street Fighter, and got burned BAD, I didn't want to buy 6 cause of it, and I didn't for sometime, but I picked it up a couple days ago after watching these vids and good golly is it awesome. Single player feels a bit tacked on, and I still don't like that the game is really 100 dollars plus when other seasons come out, but I get it and I freaking love the game. I wish this experience was what I had with 5, would have been peak of my childhood (as far as games go) now I'm an adult but still. Thanks for spreading the love of fighting games dude.

[@mattpk1609]

Ken really should be my most hated character to go against after the OCEAN of Kens in ranked. With all the Hadoken spammers and guys that leave after the first loss. But man is he fun to watch in the hands of a good player. Loved every single match in this video (and the ones before).

[@DoctorCVC]

That’s the thing: I feel like Ken collectively is a character we pair with memories some of our worst matches or most annoying matches… but that cannot stop the character from having sauce

[@TheCameraBro]

I love everything about Ken but I hate typical Ken players, but every once in a while when you fight a good one it’s actually really fun

[@tsugikuniyoriichi22]

I'm curious of what you guys think a good ken is?

[@grizzykuma5246]

​@@tsugikuniyoriichi22one they can beat on their terms lol

[@flashtheshapeshafter]

Can we talk about how cool that Ken vs Luke was in the prequel comic, this is like a salty runback

[@ManateeMentality]

I am so bad at this game but it’s so much fun. Started off with Blanka but he’s so hard! He’s a charge character with no true projectiles. Rather, he IS the projectile. His moveset is overwhelming for a noob like myself so I’m switching to a shoto just so I can get more comfortable with the basics.

[@thato8000]

Ahhh Max-sama you've gotten so much better. Your precision and execution is🔥! It's so cool noticing the improvement video after video

[@ImmortalStrain]

Every time Max nails a perfect Shimmy it makes me so happy.

[@IIIIIIIIIIIIIIPKIIIIIIIIIIIIII]

Insane, when I watch one video weeks ago of you starting with Ken, to see this next where you're practically pro.

[@nafishaider]

Every time Luke says "Sand Blast" all I hear is "Change Left"

[@hanzohattiori1737]

[@kamenrangerzeo8251]

I how max treats luke in his fights and imagine him telling luke "Get out of my face, you Charlie Nash reject."

[@Nemesis_SN]

awesome, I'm new to sf6 and seeing what's possible in videos like these is very helpful once you start understanding basics, this is next level tho and it'll take me years to get remotely close to it, but that's what it is, time invested must count for something

[@Krubbe]

you just casually ran into ApologyMan's Blanka and beat his ass?!

[@manarchy3]

No intro, just straight gameplay lol

[@ManiaticoZX]

I haven't bought SF6 yet but I love that the netcode is so good now that people just stopped using training room online 😂😂

[@gimmeyourrights8292]

I hope this game gets a juke box mode, like Tekken 7.

[@tommaddi]

It looks like old tracks will be releasing through the battle passes, although a jukebox like T7 would be much better. Imagine 3rd Strike tunes over this bad boy.

[@morganbrown392]

@@tommaddiI’ve been saying that since the game has been released! This is like the direct sequel to that game.

I’m so happy to see Max enjoying this game as much as he does! ❤

[@Griimmerr]

22:39 great reactions

[@DayFul]

It's weird I'm addicted yet getting so frustrated with a lot of matchups. I'm at a point where over half the cast make me groan when I see them on the Vs screen. I feel like I'm getting reaction tested to death most of the time and the corner is straight up death playing as Lily.

[@dj_koen1265]

maybe a different game will give you the same itch but with a roster you like better?

[@DayFul]

@@dj_koen1265 I'm vibing with the game a lot especially Lily. I spend most of my time in battle hub which can result in some very skewed matchups where I play people way better than me so sometimes a matchup feels a lot worse than it is.

[@shorteststraw417]

I wish Christopher Lee was alive to voice JP. He'd fit so perfectly and I'd be a JP main. (I'm trash at JP)

[@Laoruperteen18]

You are in top form max, keep practicing those +40% combos and youll entrr final form

[@bios-mangrove]

10:37 Perfect K.O in 69 seconds? Nice! 👌

[@Buchaus]

32:55 i know Manon wears tight pants, but this is just ridiculous 😅

[@levikekman5979]

[@saramarie9091]

As a Manon main, that fight was painful. They had so many easy command grab and CA/L3 Super opportunity but did nothing. They had an easy win but said nah.

[@streetkombat6088]

55:37 JP is a very tall character so I believe that is why his jump in reaches so far.

[@scottshaw-ip9tp]

Max's ken is actually really good

[@lykosvon9142]

Yk I didn’t even hate the character themes beforehand, but honestly I am really getting into them now 😂 took a while to settle

[@jameshunter6289]

Ken is so bad ass in SF6

[@AvectusExolir101]

Luke is the only well rounded character recommended using if u wanna go eyes on the prize

[@mattmalco10]

That Blanka sold so hard in the first game

[@vapersmith7859]

I know they say this isn't an hour long of freak fights...but SF6 characters ARE freaks even the ones that aren't custom crafted you just have to view them from a certain view! This though is fantastic and what Street Fighter 6 is truly about!

[@wafflerman]

idk why but i really like the character dialogue after each mtach

[@keithjohnson2125]

I know it's not your style but can you do a video on how you do that green dash move with ken and how to combo it

[@demidevilqueen]

That's called Drive Rush and there are already tons of tutorial videos about it online!

[@Mene0]

I didn't know that win streaks didn't give you bonus points in diamond. Crazy, the climb is hard

[@thedukealastor]

Ken is my main and getting fireball instead of DP after dragon lash is my kryptonite. It’s relieving to know when higher level players do the same thing from time to time

[@babydino8173]

He's been streaming for like what 9, 10 years now. He's past that point of being nervous on stream.

[@LEWfromdaHOU]

Sorry to say this but a lot of these diamond rank players are actually frauds. They got to that rank strictly through abusing their character's gimmicks and then fold against players who can utilize universal fighting game mechanics. JP case in point.

[@jwilliam6743]

Damn Max you're killing it. Seems like the game mechanics agree with you.

[@SirDubbs]
