17	* [[http://youtu.be/q1IFIHwILGo?t=19m55s Max brings back 3rd Strike Online Warrior]] after putting it on hiatus and ''pulls off his own minor version of the infamous "Daigo Full Parry"'' in the process. The sheer hype of the moment reduces him to incoherent rambling for a brief second. His reaction is a bit of a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}}, to boot.
18	--> ''"LET'S GOOO ABLABLLBLEBLAAAAH!!! THIRD STRIKE! It's the best. This is probably '''way''' too late for me to be [[ComicalOverreacting doing that.]]"''
19	* [[https://youtu.be/1ppIw2-AHu0 BOSS RAGE]]: [[VideoGame/KillerInstinct Shadow Jago]]. After failing to reach [[{{Superboss}} Shadow Jago]], Max is sent instructions on the requirements[[note]]Must unlock everyone's ending; must be on Medium or higher difficulty; can't lose any fights (you have to return to the main menu if you do); 2 Supreme Victories (can't lose a health bar); 1 [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Ultra combo]] before your character's Rival; must defeat the Rival with an Ultra combo[[/note]] he needs to fulfill to fight him ''by a developer at Double Helix'', and becomes the first person to beat him in arcade mode live on stream, all while playing on [[HarderThanHard "Kyle" difficulty]], which has learning CPU opponents.
20	* [[https://youtu.be/1ZNob-PxEsM BOSS RAGE]]: [[VideoGame/CapcomVSSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium God Rugal & Shin Akuma]]. It's structured as dramatic news report, and Max chooses the most hilariously fitting song to fight [[SNKBoss God Rugal]] to: [[spoiler:Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero"]].
21	** When Max sees God Rugal's stage intro, he [[OhCrap realises]] that this boss will be a completely different league above Shin Akuma from his reaction.
22	-->'''Max:''' Holy fuck!! He chucked Akuma's body!
23	** When he gets an opportunity to finally win against God Rugal (by leaping clear over his Kaiser Wave), [[spoiler:it quickly zooms on Rock Howard's head, and intercuts the opening cutscene from ''[[VideoGame/FatalFury Garou: Mark of the Wolves]]'' just before Rock hits his [[LimitBreak Shine Knuckle SDM]] and wins the fight]].
24	** Due to the original video being temporarily taken down due to copyrighted music, Max has recently [[https://youtu.be/Q8-FWlkRMjs uploaded an edited version]] which replaces the song with [[https://youtu.be/GLcoNJOjuic a metal cover]] created specifically for this video by [=LittleVMills=].
25	* [[https://youtu.be/frJGCpKDXMc BOSS RAGE]]: [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Oni]]. He manages to turn a (relative) handful of playthroughs into [[TheHero Ryu's]] [[TheHerosJourney journey]] to defeat "the demon that haunts him from night to night." [[spoiler:Especially since he had to do it ''twice'' because he missed [[ThatOneAchievement the requirements]][[note]]Can't lose any rounds; 2 [[FlawlessVictory Perfects]]; 10 First Attacks; 5 [[FinishingMove Super and/or Ultra finishers]]; defeat [[FinalBoss Seth]] with a [[LimitBreak Super or Ultra Combo]][[/note]] and got [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Evil Ryu]] instead]].
26	-->'''Max:''' We travel lightly down this path, the path to enlightenment. At the end lies a demon, a demon that cannot be surpassed unless motivation and spirit guide your soul! ''Let's rock!''
27
28	-->'''Oni''': I shall grind beneath my heel...\
29	'''Max''': THIS IS IT!\
30	'''Oni''': ...[[OmnicidalManiac all that exists]]!\
31	'''Max''': THIS IS WHAT WE'VE TRAINED FOR!\
32	'''Oni''': NGAH! ''(assumes fighting stance)''\
33	'''Max''': ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU]]!''
34	* [[https://youtu.be/hm-aeT4NXpw BOSS RAGE]]: [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath Evil Ryu & Oni]]. While there's not as much badass fighting game skill in it, Max makes up for it by providing awesome narration to the cutscenes, plus a motivational speech preceding an awesome motivational song ("Dare" from [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie the Transformers animated film]]) to accompany the beating.
35	-->'''Max''': Right now, pretty much, the easiest thing I could do is [[KnowWhenToFoldEm quit]]. [[HeroicWillpower But we're not going anywhere]]! You don't just give up halfway through; that's not the point! [[ChallengeSeeker The point is the challenge; the path...the road to victory]]. If you don't have that, then it doesn't mean anything! And if you don't [[ObiWanMoment lose something along the way]], then you don't deserve it! We've lost many, but now we have to keep what's important in mind. [[AWorldHalfFull We need hope. We need to believe...and believe that THERE IS SOMETHING BETTER OUT THERE]]! BECAUSE I'LL BE DAMNED IF MONSTERS LIKE THIS CAN ROAM FREE! AND IN THE END, I HAVE THE ONE THING THAT'S NEEDED TO WIN THIS FIGHT--THE ONE THING HE'LL NEVER HAVE! [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros I FIGHT FOR MY GOD DAMN FRIENDS]]! '''''LET'S GO!!!''''' ''(Asura grabs Oni [[FacePalmOfDoom by his face]])'' I AM SICK OF YOUR [[SNKBoss BULLSHIT]]! ''(Oni is flung away, Asura [[SuperSpeed runs past him and tees up]])'' WE'RE GOING IN NOW! AND THERE'S NO! TURNING! BACK! ''(Asura [[MegatonPunch punches Oni]] [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom into a far-off crater wall]] as the chorus to Dare plays)''
36	** And then the fight goes into space...
37	---> ''[[BadassBoast "I'M TAKING YOU BACK TO EARTH, AND SENDING YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL!"]]''
38	*** And then when [[spoiler:Asura punches Oni '''''THROUGH''''' the Moon]]:
39	---->'''Max''': IT'S OFFICIAL! [[spoiler:WE'VE BODIED THE PLANET!]]
40	** Although the video was removed from Max's channel temporarily due to [[ScrewedByTheNetwork copyright issues]], the episode has been preserved by someone else [[https://youtu.be/xBb_wCVc1VA here]].
41	* [[https://youtu.be/IiUrZlnVPec BOSS RAGE]]: VideoGame/MortalKombat9 Tower Challenge #300. Max, Kenny, and Steve fight on for ''EIGHT'' hours, and during this time you can really see the [[SanitySlippage salt]] [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments flowing from their bloodstreams]]. After ''191'' attempts, with no retries (as retrying lowers the difficulty), Steve finally took down Shao Khan as Raiden. For context, they had to contend with [[MarathonBoss Goro, Kintaro, Mileena, and Shao Khan in one go]] without losing once. Also, this was a blind challenge, so any and all strategies were formulated on the fly.
42	* [[https://youtu.be/B7nFKmF9Lf8 BOSS RAGE]]: Winnie the Pooh's Home Run Derby - Owl. After numerous failed attempts to clear the [[NintendoHard astonishingly difficult Owl level]] (which includes Steve accidentally turning off the game [[EpicFail not once, but twice]]), it's Simmons who finally manages to get 19 home runs, causing Max, Steve, and Kenny to erupt into cheers.
43	* Some credit must be given to this [[VideoGame/PokkenTournament Sceptile]] player [[https://youtu.be/TWjYpRMSehE?t=643 here.]] Using Fennekin's assist and some invincibility frames, he manages to completely avoid Max's Burst Attack and then using procedes to use Sceptile's ranged command grab to finish Max off and win the round. He then manages to win the match by winning the next round with over 400 health left. Max himself compliments the player afterwards.
44	* [[https://youtu.be/GYyppLOr_cQ BAD BOSS RAGE]] has Max go on a quest through ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI'', and when he finally gets to [[FinalBoss Sagat]], he battles him (with clips from the Ryu and Sagat fight from ''Street Fighter II: The Movie'') and after multiple attempts, finally succeeds in defeating Sagat by landing a Hadoken, just like Ryu had done in the Street Fighter II animated movie.
45	** Just a little bit earlier...[[https://youtu.be/GYyppLOr_cQ?t=8m36s Ryu gives Sagat the scar]].
46	* A sequel to ''Street Fighter Legacy'' was made by Max. What was it? It was none other than ''Akuma Legacy'', where Max plays as Akuma in '''every fighting game''' that he made an appearance in.
47	** Which has a great finale in [[https://youtu.be/L0Fl_V8dH1A BOSS RAGE]]: [[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos Shin Akuma & Violent Ken]], where Max accidentally set the difficulty to [[HarderThanHard maximum]] and had to deal with [[SNKBoss Shin Akuma]]. Even better, after having to deal with Shin Akuma's ability to [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard override Max's invincibility frames and special moves with his own special moves]], Max defeats him by using a [[SignatureMove Raging Demon]] [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame to phase through Shin Akuma's Messatsu Gohado and hit him when he's defenseless]].
48	* He wants to get back into ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'', but he's quite a bit rusty. So he released [[https://youtu.be/Gukx6WtH2IY a video]] of him playing with '''''Justin Wong''''' volunteering to be his sparring partner.
49	* [[https://youtu.be/G3cAwjjnWiQ BOSS RAGE:]] ''VideoGame/BioFreaks''. Max starts off by talking about [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay his friends]] who succumbed to the game and became Scrublords, and how he's doing this to save them. After being called out to play this game on [[HarderThanHard the hardest difficulty (FREAK)]], Max, Kenny, and Steve spend '''''7 hours''''' trying and failing, especially at the FinalBoss. Even after [[FullyEmbracedFiend Max briefly gives into the corruption and becomes a Scrublord himself]], his dog Benny [[IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight talks him down from it]], and he eventually goes on to finally beat the game--perhaps the first known person to actually do so on FREAK difficulty.
50	** Even after roughly a hundred defeats at the FinalBoss [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Mutilator]] without any progress, the guys who originally issued the challenge [[GracefulLoser conceded defeat to them]].
51	--->'''Max''': [Woolie] said, ''(reading)'' "[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone I'm so sorry]]. The intro was hype. The sweating was loud. [[WasItReallyWorthIt Even if it ends here, it's legendary]]. Well played, sirs. Well played."
52	* Both the Akuma Legacy and the Sakura Legacy have one game that involves Max saying “Let’s beat a certain boss.”
53	** For ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII 2nd Impact'' in the Akuma Legacy:
54	--->'''Max:''' Let’s get to Gill and beat him the fuck up! ''(goes to main menu)'' The Giant Attack!
55	** For ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution'' in the Sakura Legacy:
56	--->'''Max:''' Let’s go beat [[VideoGame/DarkStalkers Pyron]]! That’s who’s at the end of this shit!
57	* Max finally reached 1 million subscribers.
58	* [[https://youtu.be/fPfoF1l2IoU BOSS RAGE]]: [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX Corrupted Shinnok]]. Max reaches [[FinalBoss Shinnok]] and then his corrupted form, which is so hard he ends up [[RageQuit rage quitting]]. Then, [[spoiler:Film/{{Predator}} (played by Kris Blount)]] suddenly shows up and, using an arcade controller which causes [[spoiler:him]] to perform combos, succeeds in defeating Corrupted Shinnok, and then disappears just as Max arrives to witness Shinnok's defeat scene.
59	* One Febuary 15th 2020, he had an announcement: Jay Jay and he weren't going to be at EVO that year.... because they were having a baby! Max's gonna be a daddy!
60	* Max shows how read-heavy the ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' series is by [[https://youtu.be/iMDFIQ4SrEo?t=631 killing one of his online opponents]] using only two well-placed super moves.
61	--> '''Max:''' LET'S FUCKING GO! THE HARDEST GODDAMN READ!! Sing her a song, Ukyo! Sing that song! [...] Killed in two moves!? TWO MOVES!? ''Two deadly strikes!?'' [...] He's not gonna be happy. He's ''really'' not gonna be happy about that.
62	* In April of 2022, an unexpected but welcome crossover happened: Max X Creator/TeamFourStar! Max provided a [[TheCameo cameo]] appearance as the voice of Terrence T. D'Arby[=/=]D'Arby Younger in ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Stardust Crusaders Part 2 in 6 Minutes]]''.
63	* During EVO 2023, he's streaming as usual, when, as they announce one more thing about ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct2013'', and Max abruptly gets up. Moments later, Max appears... '''''at EVO 2023 itself''''', doing a interview with the developers of Killer Instinct about the anniversary update.
64	* In February 2024, Max [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_e0DWdhBGc teamed up]] with a special guest for Duos on ''NARAKA: BLADEPOINT''- none other than the voice of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Luke]] and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake Sonon]] himself, Creator/AleksLe!
