You're such a great fighting game content creator and I hope to see you continue for years to come. Thanks for the last 9 years of entertaining videos!

[@akambar]

Max you have come a long way my friend... I can only imagine that it was a journey with it's ups and downs. No path is easy in life, but you have managed to walk the narrow, rugged path. You have built a foundation for many generations with every step you took. Your honesty and sincerity touched too many hearts, including mine. I am once again sure that YOU are a God given gift to this community, the love and joy you bring to people's lives are unquestionable. I for one am personally consider myself fortunate to see the growth of your family and both you and Jaejae will be in my prayers for so long as I draw breath. God bless you brother, I am a million times thankful to him for blessing us with your existence. Keep being the pillar of light that you are and SHINE ON!

I remember me and my brother buying Tatsunoko vs Capcom in anticipation of MVC 3. It was the first fighting game we took seriously. I was maybe 10 years old and my brother was around 20. He found Max through the Wesker assist me and we started watching Max until this day. We even watched assist me's of characters we never wanted to play but just because we loved Max's personality. Because of Max, I remember almost making top 8 at my first Killer Instinct tournament at age 13 or so. I almost got to be bodied by Chris G if I had won my last match lmao.

[@lukelima]

I still remember how I got into fighting games because of Max, if I remember right I've been subscribed since 2012. I also remember just being like "ok, I want to learn the basics, with what game should I start...?" after watching a video tutorial of Max explaining basic notions to begginers like moving, blocking, throwing out a special move. (If anyone knows what's the video's name that would be great, it would be a blast from the past to re-watch it). And so I just downloaded an emulator, browsed through a list of SF games at EmuParadise (wich I think isn't even active in that front anymore, it took down all games) and I went with SF Alpha 3, "what could possibly go wrong?" Everything. The AI wiped the floor with my ass from stage one, and my first lessons about fighting games were: 1- Learning the basics against the CPU is a bad idea 2- Actually getting good at this is a lot more complicated than the button mashing I did when I was little 3- The AI on these old games is a fucking nightmare, especially to begginers After months of practice beating an arcade run of SFA 3 was my first acomplishment and that's were I learned another important lesson about fighting games: This shit's fun. And it's really gratifying when things work. It's been my favorite game genre ever since. So thanks Max, for teaching me fireballs, DPs, for getting me started and for keeping one of my favorite channels of all time running for all these years. Shine on Dood!
