The best part of him discovering that is someone commented "It's a long story." and there was just this general agreement in chat. Max didn't even know the reference, but he seemingly fully understood the vibe behind that comment and just gave the most "understandable" expression I've ever seen.
It's always fun when he finds himself having fun with a game he thought he would hate. Pokken had him similar, and in the end the reason he didn't play more of it was that it was an arena fighter rather than that it was Pokémon, which was his initial objection.
Legit any time I see Max trying anything far enough outside of his usual wheelhouse (usually anime) I expect half the video to be him acting repulsed by every little thing now.
"Idol showdown is the Sailor moon S of our time but with vtubers" Is definitely not a sentence I thought would ever come out of anyone's mouth, let alone Max's, but it's something I'll gladly accept. Shits fun man.
I had completely forgotten about the Sailor Moon S game, and was wondering why this fangame looked so familiar. Max made the connection for me, thanks Max.
@@monster25man Ah no worries I gotcha, I just mentioned it since technically it also counts as nickname in her stream since her nickname could be anything. As a trivia though, her actual Truck name is Dullahan but of course that is just about her actual ETS streams rather than for assist in this game in particular.
I have this list of references for my friend who got into this game, but I feel like a shortened version who also work on this comment section and for Max, in the low chance that he reads it, too. Supers: -Suisei Hoshimachi: The super is more or less a reference to her refering to herself as a shooting star, or her name, being a comet. Suisei turns around and briefly references her artwork from her song, GHOST. -Fubuki Shirakami: She swaps places with Fubuki KUROkami, which was originally her dark split personality which later became a separate being that acts like a roommate to Fubuki. Fubuki, obviously, does her voiceover when they're "interacting" on stream. -Korone Inugami: The name of the move was referred to as "X-Potato" which was based on her misreading a name on a game's credits. Every item that she throws befor the potato were small references to her streams. -Sora Tokino: The star shape resembles the star-shaped hairpin on her hair. The opponent gets attacked by Ankimo, Sora's mascot teddy bear. -Ayame Nakiri: Her super is based on Holo no Graffiti, a weekly miniseries that premieres on the official Hololive channel. Random, non-sensical moments and jokes happen at a rapid pace without any explanation, including Ayame suddenly multiplying for no reason other than to make the episode confusingly chaotic. -Botan Shishiro: There's no direct reference other than Botan's knack for playing shooters. -Coco Kiryu: Her dragon form was based on her appearance at the Hololive Alternative animated trailer, which was, as the name implies, an alternative take on the girls' characters. Her actual dragon form is a cartoony-looking bright purple dragon. -Aki Rosenthal: The flock of small creatures that ran around are the Rosetai, Aki's fanbase. Aki gets drunk due to her love of drinking before passing out. The man that strikes the opponent is Mukirose, who was originally her character for her ARK: Survival Evolved stream, but became so popular that he got an official redesign and serves as Aki's acquaintance. Collabs (Assists): -Mio Ookami: Her Tarot Card assist is based on the fact that she does yearly fortune telling streams with the mix of her personal knowledge of the fellow members to give advice to her girls. Some readings had been stated to very accurate, like how her reading on Oozora Subaru for 2023 is the refusal to admit that she (Subaru) is sick and underestimating her condition, which later happened after 5 months. Her other assist is based on one of her attacks in the Hololive Alternative manga and its first animated trailer. -Marine Houshou: Her cannon assist is based on her music videos, where an alternative interpretation of her is that she's an actual pirate with a crew as opposed to her actual character lore, being a regular girl wearing a pirate costume because she has no money to afford an acutal ship. Her grab assist is not based on anything in particular but her "I'm Horny!" line was taken from a stream where she asked Coco on what is the English equivalent of the JP word "muramura". Coco answered as "horny", to which Marine immediately shouted "I'm Horny!" without hesistation. -Kanata Amane: Her grab assist was based on her 50kg grip strength IRL that she got from doing heavy-lifting part-time jobs. It became so engrained to her character that, once it dropped to 40kg, she trained so hard to make it return to 50kg. Her tidal wave assist has her singing a Japanese sea shanty for fishermen, which is one of the weirder songs she chose to make a music cover with on her channel. -Iroha Kazama: All of her assists are based on her character lore, being a samurai bodyguard for the "Secret Society HoloX". -Risu Ayunda: The truck assist is based on the fact that she likes playing Euro Truck Simulator 2. Plus, she's into memes, so there's also the "Isekai Truck" meme being referenced there. Also, the "Chestnut Install" assist is just because Risu is a squirrel girl. Her name is literally just the Japanese word for squirrel. -Kiara Takanashi: Her assists are based on her character being a phoenix, hence her affinity for fire. She has a tokusatsu-inspired shield and sword as part of her default design even though she said herself that she doesn't even touch any tokusatsu shows. -Amelia Watson: The "Ground Pound" was a reference to her Super Mario Odyssey stream, where she turned it into her own form of "your mom" joke. The assist was performed by "Smol Ame", initially just a fanart made Walfie, "Smol Ame" was later considered by Ame as one her alternate dimension versions, with this one being classified as very mischievous. Smol Ame would later officially acknowledged when a mascot version was debuted during at HoloFes 2022. The time slow assist is based on her "unofficial" character lore, being a time traveler, as her "official" lore shows that she's a normal detective investigating a group of mythological beings. The time traveler stuff being something she came up as an excuse on why did she knew about a fad from a certain decade. Despite the unofficial status, the time traveler aspect was associated with her by fans. -Roboco: Her assists were not based on anything specific to Hololive but are moreso based on the fact that she is a combat android. -Miko Sakura: The assist with her tripping on the floor several times refers to her actual clumsy personality, which is humorously and ironically refered as "Elite". "FAQ you" is (obviously) their way of saying the F-word, in a way popularized by the legendary Ai Kizuna, who is one of the people that Miko looks up to. The lava assist was based on a popular clip of her accidentally burning her house in Minecraft after she misplaces her lava bucket which made her panic very loudly. The audio was taken from that very stream.
Correction about X-Potato: They things she's throwing (besides the potato) are a reference to a specific stream where in her Ending Making Time, she punished Listener-san for asking for a boob mousepad, and those are the various things she tortured them (us) with. Looks up Just Egg-san's clip of it. Pretty deep cut.
In the description for Sora's super, it says the Ankimo's are the 13 "Knights of the Round Table", a nickname for the first 13 random viewers present for her debut stream.
@@Iffem Yeah, and the fact that Max tried to make fun of what he thought she said but then finds out that it's exactly what she said, i feel made it better.
@@Arashi257 yeah, that'd also be hilarious... (though it kinda feels that she gets fewer old jokes ever since the long haired design with the white streaks)
I'm so happy about how much attention Idol showdown has been getting. And it's only been a month. Here's to more rate the supers for the next 3 idols coming soon.
@@fernandozavaletabustos205 hopefully she's one of the other two not revealed yet. For ID, I'll say Zeta. Work that secret agent lore, ala (Master)Raven.
The best part of it is that he and chat recognized - Risu's Truck is Blodia's Fist assist from MvC - Risu NNN assist is basically Oro from SF 3rd Strike - Max instantly recognized Marine's assist as Ruby Heart's Partenaire, who is also a pirate, in MvC - Roboco is automatically recognized as the Doctor Doom assist from MvC - Chat found that FBK and Korone's super is similar to Wolverine's ult from MvC Knowing Max, the fact that Marvel vs Capcom and SF 3rd Strike are one of his most favorite fighting games of all, makes this even better
I love watching this It's genuinely like your 40 year-old father trying to understand the modern day trends and memes but despite not understanding at all he's still enjoying it
"Now this is a reference that we all know and love." Max, I am so confused, and I RECOGNISE characters, so I haven't the foggiest. XD 4:36 IS SHE DOING SORAN BUSHI!? WOAH! OKAY! BEST ASSIST!
Risu getting tengu stones is really funny to me because I would never expect in a million fucking years that Risu and Oro would get any kind of association ever
The Risu Isekai truck explains a lot of things. He lucky he didn't do it during November. The face when he saw Marine's assist and heard the signature words makes my day every time. Yes, she has actually said it and yes she was serious. In fact all the voice lines are from actual streams that have probably been clipped before including voice packs that the talents themselves did during stream for the Devs to use.
@@endernightblade1958 Yep she asked what Mura Mura was in English and what the term was and Coco said Horny. Which lead to her next quote being I'm Horny!
@@thechugg4372 Before learning the English phrase "I'm horny" from Coco, she openly admitted to being extremely horny on a couple of her past streams (including collaborations).
Watching Max be absolutely flabbergasted by all the references is hilarious. I also like Max not knowing the references that way there isn't any bias in the ratings because if you did know them everything would definitely be 1-2 more points higher
Its the sheer fact that max decided to play this. As a fan of max, hololive and most importantly a Risuner, its a dream come true. And yes the Euro/Isekai truck is a 10/10
Seeing the FGC and Hololive communities crossing over like this is something I never expected to happen But now that it has, I'm happy the chemistry has gone so well And I hope it it continues to grow from here!
The intersection of Max and HoloLive is one of those moments where the total lack of knowledge about any of the rich lore down that VTuber rabbit hole just makes everything _even more hilarious_ to watch and see from an external perspective. Seeing Max come to the conclusions of his rankings was even more enjoyable than the rankings themselves, but just for reference on how they scale up from that perspective: Miko - "relatable FAQ"/10 Kiara - 4/10 Sora - 5/10 Mio, Korone, Kanata, Iroha, & Ayame - 6/10 Fubuki & Ame - 7/10 Suisei & Coco - 8/10 Marine, Aki, Risu, & Roboco - 9/10 Botan & Risu + Truck-chan - 10/10
Why is watching Maximilian openly embracing a fandom that he has no connection to so wholesome and enjoyable? I want more. I want max to rate Vtuber stuff.
The second I saw Risu's truck I knew it would become the only assist I pick, I dont care if they add some future assist that causes some kinda insane touch of death, nothing is beating the truck.
9:57 As she turned Korone (the only one of these I've heard of) into a doom parody, it makes me think there must be one of these for each character? I think that kind of thing's cool very...Darkstalkers.
I love how Max isn't sure that marine is saying "I'm horny!" at first, and everybody is like "Oh yeah, she is absolutely saying that." Max can never learn the depths of Marine's degeneracy and depravity. It might break him.
@@willg8035 Hey, I'm all for it. It's just one of those things you can't expect somebody on the outside to really get it and accept it right away. That's all I'm saying
Hearing that "clap clap Next Meme" from that shrill, punched-in-the-windpipe Mickey Mouse voice. Siiiiigh. I wonder...are we witnessing Max falling down the Rabbit Hole? We shall see. You know what they say about Rules of Three.
These Idol showdown videos have been some of my absolute favorites! Your genuine enjoyment of everything, without knowing anything off it is so much fun. - The question now is... will the rabbit hole get to him?
its always super fun to see people who have no idea about hololive react to all the wacky stuff in the fan games. also, even more than the supers and assists, im glad to be able to see all the walk and run cycles. i wasnt too smitten by the sprites when i first saw them, but there is really a ton of effort and good ideas put into the animations. also mfw max and i chuckled at the exact same time about risus truck. the reactions to cocos moves and akis super is just absolutely priceless, lmao.
For context on Marnie, she actually says I'm horny. She legit got English lessons from Coco live on how to actually say the phrase in English. And she is indeed horny. The lewdest of the bunch in Hololive. Not only she's aware of the spicy art the fans had made, she actively encourages those artists to NOT block her so she can view them herself. Even encourage doujins of herself too. She's not purely a horny VTuber, but she has no intention of hiding that side of her either. A huge contributor to Yagoo's crushed dreams of idols
I also appreciate that Max is treating this like the fan game it is and not expecting extremely polished gameplay. After all it is still being actively developed. I honestly feel like the devs would love to get some tips from Max.
The fact Walfie's work, plus an Ame SCREEEE has now been seen and rated a nine by Max is great. Risukai truck getting a ten is nutty but unsurprising. Botan getting a ten is also unsurprising.
I think the highest might've been clocked at 56kg, which is higher than an average grip strength for *MALES* (40-45kg). This has earned her a nickname - KanaGorilla, or just Gorilla for short.
@@WTFHAX93 And there's the fact that Coco did tell the story about how she and Kanata were trying to change the shower head and Coco couldn't pull the old one out, so Kanata went and just yanked it out, much to Coco's surprise
@@JoaoLucasK Oh yeah I remember that too. I think there might've also been some stories from Coco about Kanata shattering some jars while helping her with opening them.
So here’s a TLDR of some of the Hololive members Botan: Professional FPS Goddess who known for her laugher and has a massive Russian fanbase for Simple’s saying “Cover me I’m reloading” in Russian Coco: a shitpost loving dragon who also loves the Yakuza series… if her last name being the last name of the oldest Yakuza MC didn’t give it away. Kanata: Basically a Gorilla due to her grip strength. Risu: someone has this little gag for November where it’s Nonstop Nut November as she’s a squirrel Ame: possibly one of the few actual humans in Hololive lore wise Korone: a dog based Vtuber who loves retro games and doing LONG STREAMS
Watching the references were fun...kanata and her grip strength assist. And calling Botan COD girl isnt that far off, shes a headshot queen there too, la lion.
These devs did a superb job with this fan-game. And since its fan made they can get Coco in there, i wonder if they are going to add v-tubers outside of the jp hololive sphere Or if this crew are going to make their own ip, id buy that
Don't see why not if they plan to continue with it Amelia and Kiara are already in as assists along with Risu so they are I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before one is added as a fighter
3:49 Never in my life imagined i would be watching Max react to a Korone super wich references a meme of her playing Blasphemous and replicates Wolverine´s weapons X but here we are 😂
4:24 sound effects of every bones cracked Max: "Oh she grabs you and talk shit?" I know the pen is mightier than the sword, but I don't think words are THAT powerful
"I thought that was making fun of an entire fandom an island nation" No, that's... yeah, that's just Marine being Marine. 4:25; Kanata has been labled a 'Gorilla' by fans due to her frankly stupid grip strength. 12:12; Ah yes, Watson being a Gremlin. And her love of ground-pounding. Hang on, you didn't show Miko's other assist, which was a reference to the Lava Bucket incident in Minecraft, where she accidentally burnt her house down.
As the sprite artist of Risu Isekai Truck, getting a 10/10 from you is an Honor.
You dropped this 👑
Give a 10/10 to the guy who put the sounds in too 😂
Thank you for your contribution! This game has brought me so much joy.
This one's on the house 🍺
Good job sir 👍
Max: “I don’t want to be racist, but it sounds like she’s saying ‘I’m horny’”
Hololive Fans: “No. that’s right.”
The best part of him discovering that is someone commented "It's a long story." and there was just this general agreement in chat. Max didn't even know the reference, but he seemingly fully understood the vibe behind that comment and just gave the most "understandable" expression I've ever seen.

Makes sense.
Its so great to see Max's reactions to this game completely out of context, but it's even better that he seemed to genuinely enjoy it too.

It's always fun when he finds himself having fun with a game he thought he would hate. Pokken had him similar, and in the end the reason he didn't play more of it was that it was an arena fighter rather than that it was Pokémon, which was his initial objection.

Petition to coin the terminology for the Risu truck the "Risukai"

But now that it has, I'm happy the chemistry has gone so well
And I hope it it continues to grow from here!
Can't escape from crossing fate
This is the game Romolla was born to play.
Mori Calliope would be a cool guest on Triple KO. She likes fighting games and mains Bedman in Guilty Gear.
@@Dracobyte we should float the idea to all four of them. Especially since Calli has collabed with Trash Taste before.
@@paperluigi6132 Mori has even expressed in being invited to the Woolie VS channel.
If Hololive ever do an Idol Showdown tournament I hope Max and Koe are invited as special guests.
Calliope mori is planing to make one and some FG streamer has taken notice like Sajam and Koe for sure, will max will join in? Well we shall see later
@@LucentCross even Justin Wong is interested in being a guest commentator
@@exis3383 well damn, might as well we make a tournament for being a co-commentator xD
If this is a tournament where we get Max and JUSTIN WONG as commentary it’ll be sick
See if daigo would be interested too!
The intersection of Max and HoloLive is one of those moments where the total lack of knowledge about any of the rich lore down that VTuber rabbit hole just makes everything _even more hilarious_ to watch and see from an external perspective.
Seeing Max come to the conclusions of his rankings was even more enjoyable than the rankings themselves, but just for reference on how they scale up from that perspective:
Miko - "relatable FAQ"/10
Kiara - 4/10
Sora - 5/10
Mio, Korone, Kanata, Iroha, & Ayame - 6/10
Fubuki & Ame - 7/10
Suisei & Coco - 8/10
Marine, Aki, Risu, & Roboco - 9/10
Botan & Risu + Truck-chan - 10/10
Mori Calliope would be a cool guest on the Triple KO podcast!
"Bemused" seems like the perfect word for his reaction, I dig it.
Why is watching Maximilian openly embracing a fandom that he has no connection to so wholesome and enjoyable? I want more. I want max to rate Vtuber stuff.
The second I saw Risu's truck I knew it would become the only assist I pick, I dont care if they add some future assist that causes some kinda insane touch of death, nothing is beating the truck.
Isekai truck
Okay but what if they add Fauna with an even bigger truck that plays Ode to Joy?
@@MakiKuronami then that's tough
@@MakiKuronamiwill she let me have boric acid if I'm good?
He's so lost, but he seems to be having good time.
I like how he called Fubuki a cat.
I just realized Aki has servbots and Ralph Jones references in her super
Love the Galactica Phantom reference.
9:57 As she turned Korone (the only one of these I've heard of) into a doom parody, it makes me think there must be one of these for each character? I think that kind of thing's cool very...Darkstalkers.
Yeah, everyone got one.
Some have more than one too.
10:14 Nothing beats a Ground Pound.
Hearing Max calling Fubuki a cat is so funny to me.
Is she a fox?
@@Sonicfalcon16 Yes, however, it's a running thing with her being called a cat.
I love it when Max reacts to things he knows about. Because he points out all the cool details and references that he understands
This is the peak of Rate The Super and you cannot convince me otherwise
Loving the fact that he gave Botan's super a 10/10 immediately
I love how Max isn't sure that marine is saying "I'm horny!" at first, and everybody is like "Oh yeah, she is absolutely saying that." Max can never learn the depths of Marine's degeneracy and depravity. It might break him.
Oh come on, she's just a girl who wants to enjoy herself. Sexy Captain super leet!
@@willg8035 Hey, I'm all for it. It's just one of those things you can't expect somebody on the outside to really get it and accept it right away. That's all I'm saying
@@willg8035 you could say it's based.
maybe dope.
definitely super lit
"Sorry I'm just sitting here doin' moves."
Basically everyone's first reaction to playing this lol
Hearing that "clap clap Next Meme" from that shrill, punched-in-the-windpipe Mickey Mouse voice. Siiiiigh.
I wonder...are we witnessing Max falling down the Rabbit Hole? We shall see. You know what they say about Rules of Three.
That three is a crowd.
Man those rabbit hole/forbidden knowledge/pettan/dad jokes never get old. Hololive fans are so funny 😐
@@Moofmoof All fandoms have stale, overused jokes.
These Idol showdown videos have been some of my absolute favorites!
Your genuine enjoyment of everything, without knowing anything off it is so much fun.
-
The question now is... will the rabbit hole get to him?
its always super fun to see people who have no idea about hololive react to all the wacky stuff in the fan games.
also, even more than the supers and assists, im glad to be able to see all the walk and run cycles. i wasnt too smitten by the sprites when i first saw them, but there is really a ton of effort and good ideas put into the animations.
also mfw max and i chuckled at the exact same time about risus truck.
the reactions to cocos moves and akis super is just absolutely priceless, lmao.
Do you know what's the real super here? Max going down the weeb rabbit hole and giving it a fair shake
True hero right there
For context on Marnie, she actually says I'm horny. She legit got English lessons from Coco live on how to actually say the phrase in English.
And she is indeed horny. The lewdest of the bunch in Hololive. Not only she's aware of the spicy art the fans had made, she actively encourages those artists to NOT block her so she can view them herself. Even encourage doujins of herself too. She's not purely a horny VTuber, but she has no intention of hiding that side of her either. A huge contributor to Yagoo's crushed dreams of idols
Max covering vtubers. Now ive seen it all
10:40 - "I want more of this stuff!"
Boy, do I have the game for you! Smol Ame is literally nothing but that stuff!
I also appreciate that Max is treating this like the fan game it is and not expecting extremely polished gameplay. After all it is still being actively developed. I honestly feel like the devs would love to get some tips from Max.
Wow, Kanata really just grabs your opponent and snaps their neck with her gorilla strength.
The fact Walfie's work, plus an Ame SCREEEE has now been seen and rated a nine by Max is great. Risukai truck getting a ten is nutty but unsurprising. Botan getting a ten is also unsurprising.
nice to hear that botan's super was a 10/10 from you Max! She's my absolute fave and her super is so well done!
Yep that coco for flipping you off I hope your enjoying the game
Never thought id see my art on a Max video but here we are..
😵
10:46 me too, Max. I want her to come back as well...
I hope she'll appear as soon as possible frequently,gator😢
I just realized Coco's crouch has her casually lean on TH-cam's Gold Button haha
Thats it max become what you were meant to be EMBRACE THE WEEB SIDE!
The animations, the creativity man
what a time to be alive
My favorite VTuber: CatLady McFacealot
its purely saturated in references and community memes. Watching someone looking at it through fresh eyes, his confusion is justified.
You’ve been hit by
You’ve been struck by
Truck
OWEW
So cool to see Max getting into the Vtuber rabbit hole.
Watching Max trying to come to grips with this game and all of its extremely niche references has me in stitches rn.
The perfect crossover DOES exist!
This game actually got me to check your stream Max, glad you showed the game off.
11:10 Can't believe they put Max in the vTuber Idol game.
The grip that Kanata did is a reference to her actual irl grip strength which was I believe 55kg... it's probably went up tbh
I think the highest might've been clocked at 56kg, which is higher than an average grip strength for *MALES* (40-45kg). This has earned her a nickname - KanaGorilla, or just Gorilla for short.
@@WTFHAX93 And there's the fact that Coco did tell the story about how she and Kanata were trying to change the shower head and Coco couldn't pull the old one out, so Kanata went and just yanked it out, much to Coco's surprise
@@JoaoLucasK Oh yeah I remember that too. I think there might've also been some stories from Coco about Kanata shattering some jars while helping her with opening them.
@@WTFHAX93 GorillaTenshi ftw lol
that walk away animation at the start tho
6:30 Max is feeling the Nakirium for the first time
Reactions on the references is hilarious lmaooo
So here’s a TLDR of some of the Hololive members
Botan: Professional FPS Goddess who known for her laugher and has a massive Russian fanbase for Simple’s saying “Cover me I’m reloading” in Russian
Coco: a shitpost loving dragon who also loves the Yakuza series… if her last name being the last name of the oldest Yakuza MC didn’t give it away.
Kanata: Basically a Gorilla due to her grip strength.
Risu: someone has this little gag for November where it’s Nonstop Nut November as she’s a squirrel
Ame: possibly one of the few actual humans in Hololive lore wise
Korone: a dog based Vtuber who loves retro games and doing LONG STREAMS
At least, for the Amelias we've seen. Who knows what timelines haven't revealed their Ames...
You forgot to mention that Korone is a gore hound with a love for splatterhouse american horror, hence the DooM chainsaw
This is THE BEST crossover in our timeline
Watching the references were fun...kanata and her grip strength assist. And calling Botan COD girl isnt that far off, shes a headshot queen there too, la lion.
botan’s aim is just ridiculous LMFAO
7:05 I’d call that The Palmer (FF7 reference)
Smol Ame is so powerful shes even geot Max to like her first try!
5:44 his reaction got to me 😂
The best part is that people are enjoying the game without getting any references at all.
Senchou's horni hug truly the best. 9/10
And then there's Risu's Isekai truck xD
Let's hope Max doesn't love Coco the most... It would be sad 😭
“Susie” is definitely Suisei’s name in the 4kids dub
06:31 Ride the lightning!
Goood now youtube flood Max's recommendations with vtuber clips and soon he'll fall down further into the rabbit hole
I can imagine Botan laughing with this video after being declare the best girl in the game by Max again.
Coco is saying "next meme" btw 0:12
Red heart was playing in the background of a Max video lol. Never thought I'd see the day
I cant wait for the inevitable holomem reaction to Max's reaction to their supers
Inevitable clip of Kiara talking shit because her assist got a four lmao
"What the fuck you little shit"
@@estebanacostaolivera3232 - angry German ranting and swearing intensifies-
@@estebanacostaolivera3232 Ah yes, another "You little shit" incoming
These devs did a superb job with this fan-game.
And since its fan made they can get Coco in there,
i wonder if they are going to add v-tubers outside of the jp hololive sphere
Or if this crew are going to make their own ip, id buy that
Don't see why not if they plan to continue with it Amelia and Kiara are already in as assists along with Risu so they are I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before one is added as a fighter
Probably the closest to rate the super Arcana heart 3 from Max that I’ll get but I’ll take it.
3:49 Never in my life imagined i would be watching Max react to a Korone super wich references a meme of her playing Blasphemous and replicates Wolverine´s weapons X but here we are 😂
4:24 sound effects of every bones cracked
Max: "Oh she grabs you and talk shit?"
I know the pen is mightier than the sword, but I don't think words are THAT powerful
Come on MAX!!!!! Let's get that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Rate the Super, PLEASE!!!!
"I thought that was making fun of an entire fandom an island nation"
No, that's... yeah, that's just Marine being Marine.
4:25; Kanata has been labled a 'Gorilla' by fans due to her frankly stupid grip strength.
12:12; Ah yes, Watson being a Gremlin. And her love of ground-pounding.
Hang on, you didn't show Miko's other assist, which was a reference to the Lava Bucket incident in Minecraft, where she accidentally burnt her house down.
I love how Coco's super counts as both grab and projectile
Hearing Max say he's an Ookami Mio fan is heartwarming... Even though it's sarcastic 😂
After his reaction to Truck chan, I want to see Maximillian rate the supers in Touhou AoCF, or any other touhou fighting game featuring Yukari
I don't think he'll ever do Soku, sadly. Just... Too many supers to rate, I think.
Max must be so lost.
If I didn't know half these references, I would be just as lost.
This is like my dad sitting in when I watch one of my animes
