Maximilian has been hard at work uploading tons of video game content as of late. First up, Max plays Soul Calibur 2 on a Nintendo Wii emulator and is able to run it at 720p. This video will give quite a few of us a trip down memory lane and the game looks pretty great in HD.

After the jump you can check out Max's Hype compilation for the month of November, two episodes of his Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 The Online Warrior; one of which celebrates UMvC3's 1 year anniversary and a set of matches between himself and EG|fLoE.

Drat, it's just the old emulator trick. Here I was thinking it was a console version. Spawn, Heihachi, Link and Necrid were really fun and godlike in this game.

Soul Calibur 2 was my favourite - the movesets got more and more simplified as the series continued.

You know I used to support Maximillian, I used to watch all his videos and do what I could because I thought he was helping the community. Then I realized he was doing the exact opposite. He is the reason the FGC is sliding back into a recession.

Look at his web page. NOTHING but UMVC3 videos and video from old dead fighting games. He supports no new fighters at all. He has no videos fro Tag 2, none for Persona, nothing fro Virtua Fighter, KOF, hell anything anymore. He doesn't even support SFIV:AE 2012.

All he does is promote dead games that are never going to come back like 3rd Strike, Marvel 2, Marvel 1(WTF), and all this other crap. Cool if you like playing those games and I do too but that doesn't help the community it hurts it cause the reality is those games are 10+ years old and had their time and aren't coming back.

Meanwhile Max shows no support for any new games and people wonder. "Well why are there so many Marvel Monsters?" cause Max feeds the Marvel monsters, he provides content that allows them to exist with tutorials and what not but he doesn't do the same for any relevant fighter. It's crap like this why everyone has to deal with "Where's Marvel?" 24/7.

Maximillian you are what is wrong with the FGC. The push nothing but Marvel and your responsible for this scrub "Where's Marvel?" mentality that now plagues our scene. If you cared about the FGC so much like you claim you would do your best to support actual relevant new games instead of dragging us further down this useless dead end that is UMVC3.

720p for Soul Calibur 2? At the very least it should be 1080p, get it together Max.

With all the content he is uploading, it would only be fair to him that he actually enjoy what hes playing. I mean what sense does it make to upload videos of mediocre play of a game he has no exp in.

@3 - Virtua Fighter and KOF are both old though, and Max doesn't know $hit about either, so let him keep the Capcom $hit to himself.

There are other players in the community doing plenty for VF, KOF, Persona, etc, they just don't get the spotlight on Eventhubs or SRK's frontpage like Max does when he does his random online sessions.

@3: You're talking like Maximillian controls the fgc...in reality he's actually a very small portion of it, and, no offense to him because I actually do like his content, but he's not the one that brings out the stream monsters and the hype to games. It's like saying all the SSF4 channels out there are harming the community. Also, kof xiii is as old as Ultimate Marvel and Virtua fighter 5 is several years old. Get your facts right, at least.

@8 - KOFXIII is older than UMvC3, the game came out in arcades in 2010.

Oh god i remember so much of Soul Calibur 2, the best version in the series in my opinion, the rest were not as impressive as 2, except for the voice acting, and exclusive characters that are always on both consoles, But what i wanted to happen if SC 4 was on the Wii with SC3 graphics instead of that stupid adventure game that had the exclusive character Lloyd from Tales of Symphonia, people would have bought that edition to play as Lloyd instead of.....star wars characters that were on both consoles.

@3 Well to be fair Max isn't the only person focusing on 1 fighting game, others focus purely on Tekken, Persona 4 arena, KOF, ect, nothing else but that one game they are really good at. Who can blame em he's a marvel player since he was a kid growing up in the arcades. No one can play 7 other fighting games and be the best at it when they come back over and over, well, except J Wong but whatever.

You have the choice to watch these videos or not. Why do you think people care what you watch and what you don't. If you like Max, watch. If you don't, just keep steppin. Its not that hard.

@3-@19 Are you guys serious? I want to see your videos,then.I'm pretty sure they're quite informative,complete and dedicated to promote the FGC with UltraChen level of commentary.Always serious and nothing resembling fun,I assume.....>_>

You guys haven't come to comprehend that maybe .....Max's content is not aimed at you?.(The ones that follow the scene since SF2 and beyond)
It's for the new blood.In fact,I know that it's not aimed at me and I enjoy it.IT'S...FOR ...FUN!

You want to take Max's place? Then, prep your game-capture cards and professional-grade narration skills.With bathed breath,we'll be waiting....>:[

@3 Where's Marvel At? Oh yeah, it's headlining every tournament! Marvel is always the majority cause it's a more exciting game. AE is great but only hype in top 8. And like somebody has already said, dont watch max's videos if your gonna act like a little twink about it afterward. Your like a stupid dog that wont understand that the sandwich on the couch is not for you.

@3
I was going to say that this comment is borderline retarded, but I would have been wrong. It's now sailed beyond the retarded line at the speed of light, and is now blazing it's way through the far reaches of retard-space. Congratulations, your opinion is f*cking stupid.

@5 Max playing marvel is already mediocre gameplay. him playing anything else is just awful.

Agree #24.

Man, I hate my scene...

Oh, wait, no I don't. I hate that half of the FGC who are constantly jealous, entitled, and a**holey enough to complain about fun, free content available to them.

Max plays Marvel because he has the most fun with Marvel. A lot of people feel the same way.

YOU go start video content for the games that YOU want. Go put the effort in and post it, and then YOU can listen to a**holes tell you it sux.

Thanks Max. 'Fun to watch!

No matter all the reasons they post for hating Max, like #3... the real reason they dislike him is because, he is not a pro player and doesn't go to tournaments. That is all there is to it. People are so in love with high level play and their obsession with it leads to disrespect anything else automatically.
