The way he feels about blazblue and arc systems is exactly how i feel about street fighter and marvel. I lean more toward anything arc sys. It all comes down to what you grew up with and what you know. I never liked street fighter nor cared about it till i got older. Even then I tried to play the other sf games and found myself just going back to guilty gear, blazblue, and p4a.
@7:15 So Max doesn't play Tekken because of characters "diving into the screen at almost any given time" which makes it harder to control a match and is annoying…yet he plays MVC?! That makes no sense to me.
Mega Man X im conflicted too, but i think the story needs a revamp like MK9 did. the whole family feud storyline is getting dry, and i hate what theyve done with king's. it seems they just keep adding characters that have nothing to do with the story (bob, miguel, christy).
+Justin Gordon Story ? Ive stopped caring about the stupid plot line since tekken 6 -.- What I'm really worried about is how the SFIV ``focus´´ enrage combo attack will affect the gameplay.
My favorite fighting game is Tekken by a long shot but I love how down to earth this guy is. He's kinda what got me to try out 2D fighters more seriously instead of being closed minded towards them
Your point at the end is the best one, and it speaks not only for youtube content but for communities in general; if people wanna see their chosen fighting game do well then they gotta do whatever they can to support it. They can make videos, attend events, post on forums, discuss the game and its mechanics, hell even hold mini tournaments and stream it if you can. You can't wait for people to support your game for you, you have to help it yourself
Melvin Copeland Anything other than UMVC3, Killer Instinct and Street Fighter.. Maybe some King Of Fighters? A little more Mortal Kombat? BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, SoulCalibur, Dead Or Alive.. just something else.
SeniorCharry Killer Instinct is Mortal Kombat Mentally Challenged 3rd Cousin. Not getting bored of Killer Instinct is like not Getting Bored of laughing at a special ed kid. Ur sick bro on the real.
How Max feels about TTT2 (which I love to death along with Tekken 6) thats how I felt about Vanilla SF IV. I played it for less than a month then dropped it. Was not for me in the least bit. SSF IV I played a lot more. Mostly due in part to my guy Dudley being included.
I love TTT2 as well but fuck me I hate the tag system. I would of loved the game so much more without it. It's really hard to put into words but despite how much I love it and the fact that I think it is THE best Tekken they've made in terms of balance and content, having the tag system there just stops me from being able to enjoy it as much as I want to enjoy it.
I really enjoy playing TTT2(annd still playing it) but it's just so annoying how the Tag bounds are retarded. I unfortunately have to stick with playing it because of netcode. Tekken 6 is my favorite but the netcode is just braindead(the game disconnets 95% of the time I play it online) making it unbearable to play :(. I rather play play solo 1-on-1 than have a team. The only thing good about Tag 2 are the Tekken Tunes, New Customize modes and text chat in lobbies.
What do you mean by retarded when it comes to the tag bounds? Retarded as in "they're hard to execute" or retarded as in "I don't know why they're in the game, as they serve no purpose"? I think they're OK. Granted it took me a minute to get used to, but I can work them in here and there. I do wholeheartedly agree about Tekken 6 netcode though. Nothings more frustrating than getting ready to dive into a fight only to have it disconnect. And the soundtrack is phenomenal. Still doesn't come close to Tekken 3 but great in its own right.
Ahhhh. Ok. I see what you're saying, especially with kazama clan. I still have my Tekken 6. I still play it from time to time when I want a break from KI.
Thats totaly understandable. Everyone has their own personal preferences. There are big names on youtube who do focus more on tekken like level up your game and avoiding the puddle so i get my tekken fix from them.
The fact that you do not upload Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was 1 of the reasons I decided to start making videos for it The game is amazing, I love the extreme variety and individuality the characters offer and I love the general style. It would have been fun watching you play but it's down to you what you want to play and I fully respect that.
The point is that he doesn't enjoy these games as much as we do. It's Ok. If he doesn't like these games, there are others channels that talk about Tekken or other franchises...
Totally understandable, Max. I'm glad you talked about this cus I was reading what the other youtubers were saying like ' Why you're not playing this game?' I really have no problem with you not playing some of these games you just said.
I feel what you like is completely up to you. I am both an avid player of street fighter and tekken often switching out between the two, and I've also played almost every game in each series. I have friends that like one series or the another but not both and I'm fine with that, you can tell your friends to give them a try but don't force them or hate them for not enjoying because we all have our preferences. Some might like them later on, as I did with thrid srtike two years after online edition came out.
I'd been into fighting games before Max did his Doom videos, but in an attempt to get into MVC3 since it was a friend's favorite game at the time, I stumbled across Max's Doom video. It was entertaining, but it was more informative than most combo videos are so I subscribed a few weeks later. My favorite videos from Max are the CvS2, MVC, and 3rd Strike videos. :D
Dude, the reason why I started watching your videos is because you were having fun while playing them. There's always gonna be someone who doesn't like what you're doing. Just keep doing what you enjoy, Max. And maybe do a SCV room sometime too.
max, in my opinion you do a great job at "pleasing" veiwers, i mean it's your channel you can unpload any videos you want about anything. but buttom line i apriciate everything that you upload. and thank you for getting me back into fighters :3 i hope that this matter doesn't affect you and keep up the awesome work you've being doing
Also as a request, I would love to see a video that's about how you make your videos, what software, hardware, whatever you may use, basically a start to ironist kind of thing!
You're awesome Max. I've always thought it was more fun watching you play the games that you were more interested in and having more fun with anyways, so I have no problem with that. Keep doing your thing dood!
Suggestion (given your schedule and what you want to play): Try to take the game's that you no longer play and try to do a "Salty week of" every now and then. The old MVC2 salty weeks were really interesting and some of the non frequent fighting games could make some really fun "Salty Week" material. Regardless, it's your channel and your interests and always fun to watch!
To be honest, most youtubers just play what they like. I'll come to Max's channel for Street Fighter and MvC. I'll go to Koefficient for Arc Sys stuff. And Super for Netherealm and DBZF. The games we like are probably being covered, we just have to find them.
Smash is a party game. People just make rules to make it fair. By fair, I mean playing on the same stages 500 times and going against people who only use high tier characters for the sake of winning. Yeah... The competitive scene could use some improvements
I completely agree, Max you play what makes you happy, and if the peple can't handle it, they can go make there own freaking channel! Keep on striking :)
You really need to spend a lot of time with Tekken. Tekken's system is a lot like chess, with multiple moves from the same slot, or ( square)... If you don't understand that aspect you'll get destroyed. Luckily everyone's made the same, so if you master one character you can learn them all..but it take hours of Doppelganger practice to learn one character.
***** I felt T6 was a bit too much in terms of complexity for the move inputs and such. I tried my best to get into it, but that system just isn't something for me. Later I figured that I'm actually more drawn toward the Arc Systems style, due to the short array of moves but incredible depth. Mirror practice is also more approachable due to always knowing which move is being used how and then try to piece it back together. In Tekken, once I figured which particular kick mirror me used, I had already forgotten most of the rest of the combo.
I absolutely agree with you Max. No one should blame you for lack of exposure for X or Y fighting game. The longevity of a FG and its community lies ultimately with the fans themselves. They need to support their title any way they can. i.e. Going to tourneys, telling people of the game, etc. Hell, I do what I can by uploading replays of the FGs I play after being inspired by you and just telling as many people about them as I can.
I do wish you'd cover a wider variety of games (and not just cause I love P4A and would like to see you play it more) but at the end of the day, if it's not your thing or you don't wanna play it, then it is what it is and I accept that. Keep it real Max.
hey man dont worry about it everyone has their preferences it all really comes down to what you really feel like playing and as a result of that i have bought games like umvc3, dmc devil may cry, and persona 4 arena. i thank you for all your good work and look forward to your upcoming videos
Max, you do a great job at what you do. Not everyone should depend on you for playing every fighting game, just for their satisfaction, but for yours, too. I love TTT2, Darkstalkers, and sometimes DOA5 because there games I can get use to in my life and that's how it works.
max could you please put what games your playing in the descriptions of the videos? as someone whose been out of fighter gaming for like the last 17 years to see all these games that look fun but i don't know what they are makes it hard to track down whats what while trying to get in to playing them again. but great videos keep it up.
The funny thing is that I love watching Max's channel even though I'm the opposite of him when it comes to fighting games. I just didn't enjoy playing MVC3. On the other hand, TTT2 has been most of my gaming time these past few months. I love that game more than 4 ,5, and 6 combined. And I had fun playing P4UMA as well (although I admit, I was only in it for the story because I played P3 and P4 back in the day). It's all preference really.
I don't know if Max will see this but have you considered getting into KOF XIII, I'm not too familiar with your videos so I don't know if you've ever made any videos of it. I know the online is crappy though so it would be hard to get footage I'm sure.
9:42 Oh my god, I heard you say "similar to 3rd Strike" and checked out Yatagarasu as fast as I could. Could you please do some videos on this? After playing around in training mode for a few minutes I've got to say this is bound to be one of my favorite fighters in a long time.
Good stuff Max :) I think you really drove your point home and it should have cleared up most people doubts, of course, ill continue to watch your vids in the future no matter what game you play
I just wanna say that I originally subscribed to this channel because of Soul Calibur 5. But I ended up getting pulled into liking Marvel in the process. Of course, I want to see Soul Calibur 5, and plenty of other games that people want to see for, you know, variety. But I'm not bothered by you playing the games that you want to play. So, just keep playing the games YOU want to play, Max!
Its cool if your not really into learning certain games but maybe you could start a new series where you just do trial mode for all the characters in the games (i.e KOFXIII, Persona, Street Fighter). But thats just a thought :p keep up the great work.
I look toward TeamSpooky and Cross Counter for what's new in fighting games, professional tips and new styles. But I watch this channel just for humor and nostalgia. I'll never get competitive pro tips from a non top 8 fighter. I'm trying to go beyond a normal casual fighter. I'm trying to go Diago level. Max is not at EVO or Infiltration level as far as in the FGC, but he shares what he likes with people who somewhat dream to be better than average. He's a guy out to inspire others.
Great stuff Max. I completely respect your stance on not covering games you like, but maybe there is a compromise, like turning "Week of [insert game]" into a series for the requested games. Like you did with Killer Instinct & Darkstalkers 3. You could bring in Kenny & steve for it. Just throwing out ideas. Keep up the good work Max.
You are a 100% right Max i see your videos as informative and entertaing andjust having a few vids on games help me descover new fighters or just any new games
Thanks for getting that out. The weeks after you didn't show persona kinda got me upset, but I understand if someone dislikes the game. I watch this channel for fighting games and games that you enjoy that's it. There's no other reason else to show a game that you lose interest in. But I do ask to give variety in your channel just once in a while.
I like Persona Arena a lot. I'm grateful you did an introduction to the game. But I'm glad you do games you enjoy more. Plus if it wasn't for that, I'd have much more trouble finding the other fighting games that are my cup of tea. XD
Best Real Talk ever. From experience, you can't make good vids out of games you are not excited to play. Max's vids are good because he likes what he does and it projects on the video. ^^
I agree with most of the other comments are saying here, Max: above all else, this is your channel, not ours. Yes, we watch your videos for our own entertainment, but if you yourself aren't having fun with making them, then it's not worth even going for it in the long-run. Just play what you want/like - your real fans will stick around for it.
It's unfortunate but I understand what you're talking about. Persona 4 Arena: I totally get what you mean. I played P3 and P4 first, but I actually had a stronger attachment to the P1 and P2 cast. Tekken Tag 2: I totally get you. The T6's system can be too difficult to grasp, especially if one doesn't try to play the game everyday. I figured as much that the reasons were what you said in the video, that's why I didn't complain. At least you tried, so thanks!
I guess the real issue was that you didn't even let those fans who wanted the coverage NEVER heard about it. Not even an "I'm busy so I won't be able to continue *gamename*", but you are right.
You should play Persona 4, the original one for the PS2 IF you are interested in the story. You can get it on PSN, but other than that P4A is pretty good from the looks of it.
I really tried to get into Guilty Gear, Persona, BlazBlue and Dead or Alive, but never could. I forever be a Street Fighter, VS series, Tekken and Soul Calinbur fan.
great commentary. but i cant understand why people hate the tag-system from ttt2 so much. i think its great. its fun to play and fun to watch. its fun for beginners and pros. this marvel vs. capcom fights looks very chaotic to me.
I respect him and I respect what he does. He's a great competitor. I am suggesting that he encompasses the whole FGC that would include the PS3 more because there are people on there that can be exhibited and are really good, but are overshadowed by all of the XBOX Live footage.
max u and i both know that you can't make everyone happy but im glad you were capable of basically sitting us down and talking to us about things. But to make those that say you should make a bigger coverage other other fighters why not do something like feature someone else's channel that do cover those fighting games. possibly have people submit footage of them fighting and just clip them together in movie maker. Just suggestions since at the end of the day its your channel and i love 2 watch
Max, I completely understand what you mean when you said that you try these newer games but you just keep coming back to the ones you already like. I loved the first TTT but I can't seem to stay with TTT2. I always find myself going to the local arcade just to play original TTT. A small group still loves the game as I do, some of them already in their 40s but are still decent with the game. Its all about preferences. Ignore the haters, keep doing what you do.
Hey max, quick questions. Have you heard about how skullgirls funded their dlc characters thru indiegogo? You think other fighting games should attempt to emulate this for adding dlc?
OMG Max, are you thinking about playing Atagarasu??? There's a character in there that plays like Dudley with Geneijin. Can't wait to see if you try it out.
Due to lack of budget, and time to play I only play Tekken Tag 2 when I choose to play a fighter, so I don't need it to be "covered" keep doing what your doing because I like all fighters(except SFIV) and I like to watch good matches, and you provide good matches.
Great video max! And I agree with I fully, I love persona, but that doesn't mean I'm going to rant about you not playing it, because I play it with my friends. So I say play what you want an have fun with it, we will watch either way because its entertaining.
Okay not liking a game or being into it is one thing. But too not like persona area a because u dont know enough about the lore? I never played or know a single person who has played any persona game but be Damn sure I played persona 4 arena cus I thought it was a solid fighting game. N he dint like tt2 because people pop out of no where? Half this video is umvc with that exact scenario happening. Im not saying he can't dis like the games but if your gonna give a reason n post a video on it please let it make sense just saying.
I agree, although i do still play TTT2, i cannot deny that the best ones were t3, ttt, and t5 (in no particular order). Also im sure that you're aware of the DLC that will be released for Skullgirls. Perhaps you can give it another shot just to check the new stuff up? Also, will you be covering the new title Mane6 is working on after all the C&D fiasco?
I agree, the only problem I have is that Max came into Tag2 with lots of enthusiam, thats the only thing that urks me; if he wasn't sure about the game, he probably should have been less earnest about playing it, imo.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is by far the best Tekken thus far. It's not perfect but at least it hasn't got any of those stupid rage and bound systems.
+Jim Fitton Hey ! You hate the enrage system of tekken 6 !? well guess what :D ? they've added a SFIV ``focus´´ insta combo crap when you get low enough on Tekken 7, thanks Namco
Sure, new gameplay elements. Getting an opponent in rage mode means you have to be really careful (unless you can finish them off the ground or air) because a simple mistake by your part and its game over most of the time. On the other hand, those enraged know that they are still on a dangerous position since their demise can come in quick if they get overconfident of the increased damage. This brings alot of mindgames when enrage is up, which is nice i guess... but it still feels pretty cheap winning or losing thanks to this mechanic, and Im talking `based on my experiencewith Tekken 6's online (which still functions with practically zero latency, pretty impressive). I probably gave the wrong impresion to you. I don't think the new ``focus´´ attack is an omg umba cheap ass move... I just think its a fucking lazy adaptation from the focus attack introduced in SFIV, thats all. Oh and I did watch those finals :D, not life though -.-
+Agusti Guerola Garcia Why cheap it makes it more interesting because it can change the state of the game if you get juggled with low hp and that where the excitement comes plus they added the slow mo feature when exchanging blows and plus when you use the rage art it guarantee big damage but not hit you can get counter hit with it from fast punches or if the rage art is high you can duck and as well as that one guy said in the Tekken Finals you need to be careful to use it and you can only use it when its on rage mode right so low health a risk for short and when you miss the rage mode is gone back to normal damage plus Tekken is like Street Figther too its not about the mechanics its about the mind games thats what figthing games have in common no matter how everybody said Sf wins Tekken or mortla kombat or some shit.
Kelly Adapon Just gonna have to wait for the game to come out though. The slow-mo is a nice meaningless feature though, more spectacularity is always appreciated. I just hope that rage arts cant be air juggled though, or else were talking about loads of damage from just a simple launcher.
Hey Max for the next Real Talk can you tell us why you chose Doom as one of your mains? You told us why you chose Wesker and Strider but I don't think you told us why you chose Doom, thanks for listening :)
Whatever u enjoy playing is ur choice, is bout what entertains u. Btw EX series were my fav SF series lol Kairi in EX 3 jus awesome like a improved akuma :P
I mostly watch your vids for your commentary so any game you play is fun for me. However I do understand why people would want to see specific games, especially the ones that don't get a lot of coverage. In any case, I still prefer that you play what is fun for you, because that way commentary is more enjoyable.
People are going to do what they want to do. He has some responsibility, but honestly it is easy to tell when someone is doing something forced compared to what they like.
I totally support whatever you want to do with your channel and what content you want to make. But if I could give a suggestion, could you please play Skullgirls when the new characters are out? just a small coverage.
tekken was so popular in the arab world that when we say fighting game in arabic we simply just say tekken
Well tekken does mean iron fist in Japanese lol
Guy born and raised in the middle east here.
Can confirm.
So you guys would say did you hear about that new tekken game, Street Fighter V?
That explain why arabian players reacted really good at the presentation of that character on tekken 7 (i forgot the name, i neither have the game...)
GetGoodTryHard
Calm down edge lord
The way he feels about blazblue and arc systems is exactly how i feel about street fighter and marvel. I lean more toward anything arc sys. It all comes down to what you grew up with and what you know. I never liked street fighter nor cared about it till i got older. Even then I tried to play the other sf games and found myself just going back to guilty gear, blazblue, and p4a.
M.Jenko thank you for the spelling error. It was much appreciated. You have a nice day too sir.
@7:15 So Max doesn't play Tekken because of characters "diving into the screen at almost any given time" which makes it harder to control a match and is annoying…yet he plays MVC?! That makes no sense to me.
Spartanical1 he just hates it and cant say it to hes followers.
he said diving in from the end of the screen and im pretty sure he's talking about those pro ass mishima players who wayvu wayvu lol
As a huge Tekken fan I hope you cover Tekken 7 for a bit when it comes out. Not sure what to make of that game yet though.
Mega Man X im conflicted too, but i think the story needs a revamp like MK9 did. the whole family feud storyline is getting dry, and i hate what theyve done with king's. it seems they just keep adding characters that have nothing to do with the story (bob, miguel, christy).
+Justin Gordon Story ? Ive stopped caring about the stupid plot line since tekken 6 -.- What I'm really worried about is how the SFIV ``focus´´ enrage combo attack will affect the gameplay.
I agree, and I am waiting...patiently...for anything...
+Blackman Whitesuit .............Did you miss the Akuma announcment?
Xurley12 Not a big fan of Akuma in Tekken. Also, I am waiting for a console demo more than anything.
My favorite fighting game is Tekken by a long shot but I love how down to earth this guy is. He's kinda what got me to try out 2D fighters more seriously instead of being closed minded towards them
He plays what he like! Period!
I always seen u more as 2d SF fighter. Tekken needs more attention, 7 will bring it, but I don't expect it to be you. Good real talk Max.
Your point at the end is the best one, and it speaks not only for youtube content but for communities in general; if people wanna see their chosen fighting game do well then they gotta do whatever they can to support it. They can make videos, attend events, post on forums, discuss the game and its mechanics, hell even hold mini tournaments and stream it if you can. You can't wait for people to support your game for you, you have to help it yourself
I really wanted a boss rage of Elisabeth.
Same
People just want variety in your videos.. To be honest i'm bored of seeing Street Fighter, Killer Instinct and UMVC3
What games would you like to see?
I'll never get bored of Killer Instinct;)
Melvin Copeland Anything other than UMVC3, Killer Instinct and Street Fighter.. Maybe some King Of Fighters? A little more Mortal Kombat? BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, SoulCalibur, Dead Or Alive.. just something else.
SeniorCharry Killer Instinct is Mortal Kombat Mentally Challenged 3rd Cousin. Not getting bored of Killer Instinct is like not Getting Bored of laughing at a special ed kid. Ur sick bro on the real.
taaj howell Everyone has opinions The only "sick" person I see is you for not letting him/her have an opinion. Get a life.
How Max feels about TTT2 (which I love to death along with Tekken 6) thats how I felt about Vanilla SF IV. I played it for less than a month then dropped it. Was not for me in the least bit. SSF IV I played a lot more. Mostly due in part to my guy Dudley being included.

solmndust88
I know how to do Tag bounds but I prefer just fighting and switch. I miss T6 man TT_TT!
Ahhhh. Ok. I see what you're saying, especially with kazama clan. I still have my Tekken 6. I still play it from time to time when I want a break from KI.
Thats totaly understandable. Everyone has their own personal preferences. There are big names on youtube who do focus more on tekken like level up your game and avoiding the puddle so i get my tekken fix from them.

The game is amazing, I love the extreme variety and individuality the characters offer and I love the general style.
It would have been fun watching you play but it's down to you what you want to play and I fully respect that.
hehe, pre Guilty Gear Xrd, your opinion on Arc seems to have shifted somewhat since this vid, no? :)
The point is that he doesn't enjoy these games as much as we do. It's Ok. If he doesn't like these games, there are others channels that talk about Tekken or other franchises...
Totally understandable, Max. I'm glad you talked about this cus I was reading what the other youtubers were saying like ' Why you're not playing this game?' I really have no problem with you not playing some of these games you just said.
Though not really a competitive fighter I would love to see Max play Urban Reign.
Urban Reign was an absolutely fantastic game. I loved it so much and it feels like no one has even heard of it.
I feel what you like is completely up to you. I am both an avid player of street fighter and tekken often switching out between the two, and I've also played almost every game in each series. I have friends that like one series or the another but not both and I'm fine with that, you can tell your friends to give them a try but don't force them or hate them for not enjoying because we all have our preferences.

And maybe do a SCV room sometime too.
You have our support Max. Play and upload what ever you want.
I was really expecting a Captain Planet reference near the end of the vid. THE POWER IS YOURS!
max, in my opinion you do a great job at "pleasing" veiwers, i mean it's your channel you can unpload any videos you want about anything. but buttom line i apriciate everything that you upload. and thank you for getting me back into fighters :3 i hope that this matter doesn't affect you and keep up the awesome work you've being doing
Max, please show us your recording setup and a sort of behind-the-scenes look when you record your episodes.
Also as a request, I would love to see a video that's about how you make your videos, what software, hardware, whatever you may use, basically a start to ironist kind of thing!
You're awesome Max. I've always thought it was more fun watching you play the games that you were more interested in and having more fun with anyways, so I have no problem with that. Keep doing your thing dood!

Tekken 7 going to be big. You will have no choice but to play it.
Yatagarasu. Release provided by a company called Rice Digital. A 3DS eshop version is meant to drop as well but no idea where that is
"I was just a dude..." Best stoic quote.
They need to make capcom vs snk 3.
I am a super smash bros player so I suck at every other type of fighting game
Benjamin Shaul I mean....duh...you're supposed to suck at real fgs
CarterPresents I know
i play smash competitivly and "real" fighting games lol. im good at both.
Ben Shaul smash is not a real fighting game
Smash is a party game. People just make rules to make it fair. By fair, I mean playing on the same stages 500 times and going against people who only use high tier characters for the sake of winning. Yeah... The competitive scene could use some improvements
There's actually a big online scene for Tekken. Lots of older players so they don't go to locals a lot, but they show up at majors and online.
I completely agree, Max you play what makes you happy, and if the peple can't handle it, they can go make there own freaking channel! Keep on striking :)
You really need to spend a lot of time with Tekken. Tekken's system is a lot like chess, with multiple moves from the same slot, or ( square)... If you don't understand that aspect you'll get destroyed. Luckily everyone's made the same, so if you master one character you can learn them all..but it take hours of Doppelganger practice to learn one character.
Most of the decent Fighting games are like that not only tekken :)
***** I felt T6 was a bit too much in terms of complexity for the move inputs and such. I tried my best to get into it, but that system just isn't something for me. Later I figured that I'm actually more drawn toward the Arc Systems style, due to the short array of moves but incredible depth. Mirror practice is also more approachable due to always knowing which move is being used how and then try to piece it back together. In Tekken, once I figured which particular kick mirror me used, I had already forgotten most of the rest of the combo.
I absolutely agree with you Max. No one should blame you for lack of exposure for X or Y fighting game. The longevity of a FG and its community lies ultimately with the fans themselves. They need to support their title any way they can. i.e. Going to tourneys, telling people of the game, etc. Hell, I do what I can by uploading replays of the FGs I play after being inspired by you and just telling as many people about them as I can.
I do wish you'd cover a wider variety of games (and not just cause I love P4A and would like to see you play it more) but at the end of the day, if it's not your thing or you don't wanna play it, then it is what it is and I accept that. Keep it real Max.
hey man dont worry about it everyone has their preferences it all really comes down to what you really feel like playing and as a result of that i have bought games like umvc3, dmc devil may cry, and persona 4 arena. i thank you for all your good work and look forward to your upcoming videos
Max, you do a great job at what you do. Not everyone should depend on you for playing every fighting game, just for their satisfaction, but for yours, too. I love TTT2, Darkstalkers, and sometimes DOA5 because there games I can get use to in my life and that's how it works.
The way i see it i think I as sub appreciate the all the work you do for both of your channels. Loved the vids since i can remember!
max could you please put what games your playing in the descriptions of the videos? as someone whose been out of fighter gaming for like the last 17 years to see all these games that look fun but i don't know what they are makes it hard to track down whats what while trying to get in to playing them again. but great videos keep it up.
Good video, A big part of a RUclips channel is enjoying making the videos you make, and the words at the end were very inspiring.
The funny thing is that I love watching Max's channel even though I'm the opposite of him when it comes to fighting games. I just didn't enjoy playing MVC3. On the other hand, TTT2 has been most of my gaming time these past few months. I love that game more than 4 ,5, and 6 combined. And I had fun playing P4UMA as well (although I admit, I was only in it for the story because I played P3 and P4 back in the day). It's all preference really.
"Be the change you want to see."
I don't know if Max will see this but have you considered getting into KOF XIII, I'm not too familiar with your videos so I don't know if you've ever made any videos of it. I know the online is crappy though so it would be hard to get footage I'm sure.
9:42 Oh my god, I heard you say "similar to 3rd Strike" and checked out Yatagarasu as fast as I could. Could you please do some videos on this? After playing around in training mode for a few minutes I've got to say this is bound to be one of my favorite fighters in a long time.
And just when I thought Max couldn't be more of an awesome guy. Yo Videogames!!!
Good stuff Max :) I think you really drove your point home and it should have cleared up most people doubts, of course, ill continue to watch your vids in the future no matter what game you play
"If you really love these games then you have to actually have to do something"
Yes. This is yes. All of the yes.
I just wanna say that I originally subscribed to this channel because of Soul Calibur 5. But I ended up getting pulled into liking Marvel in the process. Of course, I want to see Soul Calibur 5, and plenty of other games that people want to see for, you know, variety. But I'm not bothered by you playing the games that you want to play.
So, just keep playing the games YOU want to play, Max!
max it's your channel, your rules. the best we can ask for is you giving the games that we like a chance, just like MK9
Its cool if your not really into learning certain games but maybe you could start a new series where you just do trial mode for all the characters in the games (i.e KOFXIII, Persona, Street Fighter). But thats just a thought :p keep up the great work.
I look toward TeamSpooky and Cross Counter for what's new in fighting games, professional tips and new styles.
But I watch this channel just for humor and nostalgia. I'll never get competitive pro tips from a non top 8 fighter. I'm trying to go beyond a normal casual fighter. I'm trying to go Diago level.
Max is not at EVO or Infiltration level as far as in the FGC, but he shares what he likes with people who somewhat dream to be better than average. He's a guy out to inspire others.
Same here. Plus, because of Max, I really got into fighting games. I just played them for fun before, but now I want to play competitively.
Great stuff Max. I completely respect your stance on not covering games you like, but maybe there is a compromise, like turning "Week of [insert game]" into a series for the requested games. Like you did with Killer Instinct & Darkstalkers 3. You could bring in Kenny & steve for it. Just throwing out ideas. Keep up the good work Max.
Go max! Play what you want and it'll keep me coming back.
You are a 100% right Max i see your videos as informative and entertaing andjust having a few vids on games help me descover new fighters or just any new games
Thanks for getting that out. The weeks after you didn't show persona kinda got me upset, but I understand if someone dislikes the game. I watch this channel for fighting games and games that you enjoy that's it. There's no other reason else to show a game that you lose interest in. But I do ask to give variety in your channel just once in a while.
Max you sound epic with Superman TAS theme
Still have so much respect for Max. Keep doing what you want.
I like Persona Arena a lot. I'm grateful you did an introduction to the game. But I'm glad you do games you enjoy more. Plus if it wasn't for that, I'd have much more trouble finding the other fighting games that are my cup of tea. XD
A new Darkstalkers would be nice. 2D sprites though.
I've played that zero doom spence player before his zero and spencer combination is scary good
Hey Max, what's that Third Strike-ish game you mentioned? I'm very interested in checking it out, thanks!
Best Real Talk ever. From experience, you can't make good vids out of games you are not excited to play. Max's vids are good because he likes what he does and it projects on the video. ^^
I agree with most of the other comments are saying here, Max: above all else, this is your channel, not ours. Yes, we watch your videos for our own entertainment, but if you yourself aren't having fun with making them, then it's not worth even going for it in the long-run. Just play what you want/like - your real fans will stick around for it.
It's unfortunate but I understand what you're talking about.
Persona 4 Arena: I totally get what you mean. I played P3 and P4 first, but I actually had a stronger attachment to the P1 and P2 cast.
Tekken Tag 2: I totally get you. The T6's system can be too difficult to grasp, especially if one doesn't try to play the game everyday.
I figured as much that the reasons were what you said in the video, that's why I didn't complain. At least you tried, so thanks!
Damn you should pick up Persona 4 Golden then. It's really amazing Miles.
I guess the real issue was that you didn't even let those fans who wanted the coverage NEVER heard about it. Not even an "I'm busy so I won't be able to continue *gamename*", but you are right.
Completely ignoring the rest of your post (sorry), I saw you mention Tribes.
Now I'm gonna' be playing that for weeks. Thank you.
def get back into persona 4 arena, i never played the original persona games and it's easily makes my list of top 5 fav fighting games
You should play Persona 4, the original one for the PS2 IF you are interested in the story. You can get it on PSN, but other than that P4A is pretty good from the looks of it.
I really tried to get into Guilty Gear, Persona, BlazBlue and Dead or Alive, but never could. I forever be a Street Fighter, VS series, Tekken and Soul Calinbur fan.
great commentary. but i cant understand why people hate the tag-system from ttt2 so much. i think its great. its fun to play and fun to watch. its fun for beginners and pros. this marvel vs. capcom fights looks very chaotic to me.
I respect him and I respect what he does. He's a great competitor. I am suggesting that he encompasses the whole FGC that would include the PS3 more because there are people on there that can be exhibited and are really good, but are overshadowed by all of the XBOX Live footage.
Just do what you want Max. Your channel, your rules.
max u and i both know that you can't make everyone happy but im glad you were capable of basically sitting us down and talking to us about things. But to make those that say you should make a bigger coverage other other fighters why not do something like feature someone else's channel that do cover those fighting games. possibly have people submit footage of them fighting and just clip them together in movie maker. Just suggestions since at the end of the day its your channel and i love 2 watch
Life lessons from Max: "The power is yours!"
That completely slipped my mind. Yes!
Max, I completely understand what you mean when you said that you try these newer games but you just keep coming back to the ones you already like. I loved the first TTT but I can't seem to stay with TTT2. I always find myself going to the local arcade just to play original TTT. A small group still loves the game as I do, some of them already in their 40s but are still decent with the game. Its all about preferences. Ignore the haters, keep doing what you do.
Hey max, quick questions.
Have you heard about how skullgirls funded their dlc characters thru indiegogo?
You think other fighting games should attempt to emulate this for adding dlc?
OMG Max, are you thinking about playing Atagarasu??? There's a character in there that plays like Dudley with Geneijin. Can't wait to see if you try it out.
Great vid. Let's see some more Killer Instinct! Love the vids keep it up
Due to lack of budget, and time to play I only play Tekken Tag 2 when I choose to play a fighter, so I don't need it to be "covered" keep doing what your doing because I like all fighters(except SFIV) and I like to watch good matches, and you provide good matches.
Max, did you know that Nova's Centurion H goes through Bionic Arm?
Great video max! And I agree with I fully, I love persona, but that doesn't mean I'm going to rant about you not playing it, because I play it with my friends. So I say play what you want an have fun with it, we will watch either way because its entertaining.
Okay not liking a game or being into it is one thing. But too not like persona area a because u dont know enough about the lore? I never played or know a single person who has played any persona game but be Damn sure I played persona 4 arena cus I thought it was a solid fighting game. N he dint like tt2 because people pop out of no where? Half this video is umvc with that exact scenario happening. Im not saying he can't dis like the games but if your gonna give a reason n post a video on it please let it make sense just saying.
taaj howell if he don't wanna play the game then he don't wanna play the fucking game man
I agree, although i do still play TTT2, i cannot deny that the best ones were t3, ttt, and t5 (in no particular order). Also im sure that you're aware of the DLC that will be released for Skullgirls. Perhaps you can give it another shot just to check the new stuff up? Also, will you be covering the new title Mane6 is working on after all the C&D fiasco?
I agree, the only problem I have is that Max came into Tag2 with lots of enthusiam, thats the only thing that urks me; if he wasn't sure about the game, he probably should have been less earnest about playing it, imo.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is by far the best Tekken thus far. It's not perfect but at least it hasn't got any of those stupid rage and bound systems.
+Jim Fitton Hey ! You hate the enrage system of tekken 6 !? well guess what :D ? they've added a SFIV ``focus´´ insta combo crap when you get low enough on Tekken 7, thanks Namco
Sure, new gameplay elements. Getting an opponent in rage mode means you have to be really careful (unless you can finish them off the ground or air) because a simple mistake by your part and its game over most of the time. On the other hand, those enraged know that they are still on a dangerous position since their demise can come in quick if they get overconfident of the increased damage. This brings alot of mindgames when enrage is up, which is nice i guess... but it still feels pretty cheap winning or losing thanks to this mechanic, and Im talking `based on my experiencewith Tekken 6's online (which still functions with practically zero latency, pretty impressive). I probably gave the wrong impresion to you. I don't think the new ``focus´´ attack is an omg umba cheap ass move... I just think its a fucking lazy adaptation from the focus attack introduced in SFIV, thats all. Oh and I did watch those finals :D, not life though -.-
+Agusti Guerola Garcia Why cheap it makes it more interesting because it can change the state of the game if you get juggled with low hp and that where the excitement comes plus they added the slow mo feature when exchanging blows and plus when you use the rage art it guarantee big damage but not hit you can get counter hit with it from fast punches or if the rage art is high you can duck and as well as that one guy said in the Tekken Finals you need to be careful to use it and you can only use it when its on rage mode right so low health a risk for short and when you miss the rage mode is gone back to normal damage plus Tekken is like Street Figther too its not about the mechanics its about the mind games thats what figthing games have in common no matter how everybody said Sf wins Tekken or mortla kombat or some shit.
Kelly Adapon Just gonna have to wait for the game to come out though. The slow-mo is a nice meaningless feature though, more spectacularity is always appreciated. I just hope that rage arts cant be air juggled though, or else were talking about loads of damage from just a simple launcher.
Technically, rage started at TTT.
What PC fighter is matt talking about at 9:41 ?
+lee bradley yatagarasu
Hey Max for the next Real Talk can you tell us why you chose Doom as one of your mains? You told us why you chose Wesker and Strider but I don't think you told us why you chose Doom, thanks for listening :)
Outside the shotos they do look quite different in design. Skullgirls to me also has a unique look to each character.
Whatever u enjoy playing is ur choice, is bout what entertains u. Btw EX series were my fav SF series lol Kairi in EX 3 jus awesome like a improved akuma :P
Exactly. I don't care for MK, but I watched the recent training sessions Max did because I just really enjoy Max.
the new blazblue isn't going to have ex moves unless your name is jin. instead you spend 25 heat to do an guard break.
I mostly watch your vids for your commentary so any game you play is fun for me. However I do understand why people would want to see specific games, especially the ones that don't get a lot of coverage.
In any case, I still prefer that you play what is fun for you, because that way commentary is more enjoyable.
you dood are a frikkin inspiration to fighters man, im cryin hahaha
People are going to do what they want to do. He has some responsibility, but honestly it is easy to tell when someone is doing something forced compared to what they like.
I totally support whatever you want to do with your channel and what content you want to make.
But if I could give a suggestion, could you please play Skullgirls when the new characters are out? just a small coverage.
