Max has gotten so many people into the genre. I really think he has accomplished his goal there

Max is the primary reason I started in fighting games. I had been curious and his content around KI made me want to try it. Then I connected with people who play it. And then I tried other FGs until my interest sustained itself. Thanks Max! And thanks Brian! Now you’re a part of how I continue to grow and find entertainment in FGs and it’s much appreciated.

What I love so much about Max's stuff is that he's still the same guy he was when he started. He's got all these subscribers and all these views and probably enough money for himself and his family to be set for life, but he doesn't act like that. He's just a down to earth guy who still has the same mission statement as always: get as many people into fighting games as possible. You never see him begging for more subs, he never brags about what all he's accomplished, he's just there, doing the things he loves, whether there's an audience or not. It's so refreshing.

Whenever I want to escape from real life I tune into Max... hes like comfort food, or visiting an old friend getting high and talking a bunch of shit. One of those early parasocial relationship you create from a young age 😅 always wish Max and his family the best in life❣️

Max is one of the best and most positive creators in this space. Plus he's a fellow KI fanatic.
