Tell me: If it was the past and I were to tell you this Twig of a man was not only going to be a character in this game AND voiced by Freddy Kruger himself; but had the most broken attack for a character, how would you react? With that said, Im kind of glad he is in the game with his MONSTROUS design...which honestly took some time to get use to. (But now I love it.)
yes he has experience, but he really is amazing from any standpoint. with how many games he plays, fighting and non fighting games. plus the different characters. with just the popular games, ive seen him take on intermediate competition on a consistent basis. the ability to jump back and forth between multiple games and do above average is not common. even for pros.
My favourite part about the WEEK OF! series since Injustice 1 is that it shows the viewer the playstyle of the character and we can learn some great combos at the same time. I fell in love with Batman in Injustice 1 for the very same reason. Keep up the great work Max!
I love Max's attitude when he's facing tough opponents. He compliments the really great moves and also seems to see challenges as learning opportunities. That's really cool!
Injustice Batman logic : If you kill a killer the amount of killers stay the same Injustice superman logic : If you kill 1000 killers the amount of killers goes down by 999
Man, I guess you can say Max is... HOOKED on Scarecrow.. Get it? Because.. Because Scarecrow has a hook.. thing.. I'll see myself out. (But, hey, just be thankful I didn't make a fear toxin weed joke)
Next time on Week of Scarecrow! Online Ranked: Max learns to pushblock! And F+1!! And F+2!!! And Death Spin!!!! And command grab!!!!! And use his character power!!!!!! And reflect projectiles!!!!!!! Ahh, I'm just kidding. I still love you, Max :D No, but seriously - do all the things.
Malumultimus that's a problem a lot of games have from a perception standout: when you get competitive you adhere to a certain style/goal and some moves just don't fit in. I love playing these games, but fuck playing some competitive people on this game in particular
you can tell when max is having a blast with a character, he literally has moments when he goes postal for a split second then hes like "im good im ok" great job max keep it up
The thing I love about watching you play is your very positive attitude throughout the whole match. Even when you lose your cool with it. I don't see that often when playing online.
i honestly wince at scarecrows horrifying command grab than jason vorhees's command grabs. the cracking and snapping for scarecrow is so much more unsettling and spine tingling.
Some great Scarecrow plays, but in my opinion you should try following up the MB Death Spin with F1,2,BF1. You leave it hanging quite often, when you could be adding an extra 20% damage, more if you have the extra meter.
Scarecrow would be so much better if his teleport was either faster, or had more s. Like everytime max teleported it was stuffed on destination because it's sooooooooooo telegraphed and slow.
you can metter burn teleport to make it faster but for some reason he doesn't plus he picks one of the worst times to teleport like teleporting when the apponent isn't pressing buttons and gets punished for it
Scarecrow is too awesome. Try following up that jump in 3 with neutral 2 2 into command grab. Have to hit the jump 3 pretty low but it does crazy damage for only four hits once you get it down. I think around 350? More than that if trait is on. Not as safe as ending with the blast though.
How you explain how you like characters or bad characters makes me think of Hazama or Yuuki Terumi of Blazblue. This is some great entertainment. Forgot why I stopped watching your channel. I was on a Vanoss spree now I'm going back to Maxmillian. Great uploads.
Max your really under untilzing this characters tools. He's got a command grab with amazing range that has almost no whiff recovery. His meter burn down back 2 is literally plus 6 on block. That means you can do this move and have your command grab come out in 4 frames literally narrowing your opponent's only option for escape to jumping. He also has an amazing forward 2 (farthest reaching mid in the game) and his 1, 2, 3 string is plus 1 fam allowing for a down 1 check. Not to mention his sick tick throws from down 1 into command grab. MK_REO does a really great break down of this character if yall wanna learn him
God damn that Black Canary makes us people look bad who also play with Black Canary. I was screaming to my screen like: WTF are you doing?!? Have you not encountered zoning or teleporting characters!?! :D You do a front flip or two, fake it into back flip kick, you go in with the overheads, juggle that shit & BAM! Ez dmg :D
I'm sorry but a Commercial for a App Called "Hooked" Chat Stories had just Showed up on the Advertismants and I may have a Virus on my IPad just by Clicking it? Did anyone have this Problem Before with an Advertisment on UA-cam if so I'd love the advice on how to fix it.
man this game is so sexy. the sound design is crazy awesome I'll pick it up probably later when that super deluxe version hits ....I'm not good at fighters tho 😑
Anyone got any tips on how to get better at fighting games? i am having a hard time figuring out juggle combos and such. Doing the normal combos is easy but to link them together is rocket science for me atm. I got like 1 combo with green arrow and thats about it..
fixcon46 this games juggles, depending, can be very time restrictive on inputs, especially since the game has a dial a combo system (pressing buttons in succession like 1 1 2 gets the combo out, but trying to mash it won't. ie to do the 1 1 2 combo, you can only press 1 1 2. You can't press other buttons during the strings) Just keep practicing and watching videos, figure out when an animation ends and when you should input the next command. it'll take time to get used to but it's really fun once you do
Max, you can maybe try Joker or Dr. Fate after you finish playing Scarecrow and Swamp Thing. I think nobody chooses these two characters that much and I don't know why..
Haven't bought the game yet, does ranked mode make the customization limited to cosmetic? Or do you have to level up and gear up a character before going into ranked?
Hey max, I have a question for you. When you play in Rank mode do you play for fun or competitive. I have played some but noticed slight lags in other connections so I get frustrated and quit after I notice the lags.
Personally Swamp Thing is my Favourite after Arcade mode but I see why not many ppl play as him. He's somewhat of a grappler but good at close range or getting in close with the right Player I'm still a newb.
Of course Scarecrow has no wake ups! He is voiced by Freddy Krueger!
HenryXLII genius
Congratulations, you won the internet for a day
HenryXLII This is the best Injustice comment.
HenryXLII that's stupid af. some characters don't have wake up? kinda stupid bullshit is that. fuck this game. MK9 was the last greatest
HenryXLII I see what you did there.
My favorite quote from this video is ARGH BEER
Nothing induces fear like BEER
crazyspade 8 mine is VERY FUNNY HAL
Tell me:
If it was the past and I were to tell you this Twig of a man was not only going to be a character in this game AND voiced by Freddy Kruger himself; but had the most broken attack for a character, how would you react?
With that said, Im kind of glad he is in the game with his MONSTROUS design...which honestly took some time to get use to.
(But now I love it.)
Which attack are you talking about?
I was incredulous until I saw his intro animation unleash the fear gas. Now he can get away with anything.
It was one of his chain attacks, if I recall.
His back 3 is pretty good but idk I main crow and it's not too op
When I found out his attacks with the hook can still trigger counterattacks on characters like Black Canary and red Hood, I facepalmed.
"Armored Wake-Up Trees" is the name of my next album
so did your album drop yet, bro is what i need to know
Same here bro
max is a genius at fighting games...how he adjust to most circumstances so quickly is amazing
being new at a fighting game doesn't remove the years of general fighting game knowledge
Just like a Chameleon....
....Even though he is racist to Reptile. Heh.
yes he has experience, but he really is amazing from any standpoint. with how many games he plays, fighting and non fighting games. plus the different characters. with just the popular games, ive seen him take on intermediate competition on a consistent basis.
the ability to jump back and forth between multiple games and do above average is not common. even for pros.
Everything you said was fine until "even for pros". No, pros do better. Max is not a pro, he's good, but not a pro.
Omar Gonzalez You and your bleh comment, how about you go eat something unhealthy.
"Your last breath draws near"
God damn dude, Robert Englund was such a great pick for scarecrow in this game
Yiorgios Vazouras he would be great for the live action movies
The only close thing Scarecrow has to a wakeup is the schizophrenia grab
My favourite part about the WEEK OF! series since Injustice 1 is that it shows the viewer the playstyle of the character and we can learn some great combos at the same time. I fell in love with Batman in Injustice 1 for the very same reason. Keep up the great work Max!
Love that insightful pro tip at 13 :58
12:40 Black Canary apparently decided she had to cancel her plans to attend a KISS concert for this fight.
Kyle Nguyen hey,she gotta learn how to scream loudly from the masters.
Kyle Nguyen more like a Gem concert
I would love to see this character in an MK universe. The brutalities man would be awesome.
Alanhun His command grab brutality would probably be Noob's Make a Wish fatality in Mk9
I love Max's attitude when he's facing tough opponents. He compliments the really great moves and also seems to see challenges as learning opportunities. That's really cool!
Am I the only one who relates to max at the very beginning where he went to "multiplayer" instead of "online". I'm still doing that!
Injustice Batman logic : If you kill a killer the amount of killers stay the same
Injustice superman logic : If you kill 1000 killers the amount of killers goes down by 999
I love Scarecrow.
Too bad he has... no end in the story mode.
Like the other villains, except Gorilla Grodd and Brainiac.
Lord Karasoul did he die?
Manuel Oliva no
Manuel Oliva bitchwomen cut his arm and thats it...sad i know. but i hope he makes a comeback somehow
***** true. Maybe we might see him again.
Im surprised there isnt a Punching bag skin for them all except Grodd and Brainiac.
Same goes for Mk 9 and Mk X
Man, I guess you can say Max is... HOOKED on Scarecrow.. Get it? Because.. Because Scarecrow has a hook.. thing..
I'll see myself out.
(But, hey, just be thankful I didn't make a fear toxin weed joke)
jojo reference?
Lapass Lassuli Yeah, well, your ass is flat
XD
Jake I really don't like these puns that yu keep making
ThePointlessBox_ everything is a jojo reference
Next time on Week of Scarecrow! Online Ranked:
Max learns to pushblock! And F+1!! And F+2!!! And Death Spin!!!! And command grab!!!!! And use his character power!!!!!! And reflect projectiles!!!!!!!
Ahh, I'm just kidding. I still love you, Max :D
No, but seriously - do all the things.
Watching Max play Scarecrow live gave me the impression characters don't really have many special moves in this game.
Malumultimus that's a problem a lot of games have from a perception standout: when you get competitive you adhere to a certain style/goal and some moves just don't fit in.
I love playing these games, but fuck playing some competitive people on this game in particular
You could have called it Week of Freddy Kruegger and most people wont have noticed it
Because Robert Englund voices him.
XanderStabbityStab Lol I had to read this comment twice before realizing what you were talking about.
Personally, scarecrow gives me the MOST problems, probably because I use catwoman where she has short ranged normals
you can tell when max is having a blast with a character, he literally has moments when he goes postal for a split second then hes like "im good im ok" great job max keep it up
The thing I love about watching you play is your very positive attitude throughout the whole match. Even when you lose your cool with it. I don't see that often when playing online.
"Armored wake up trees"
Max: I will stop you!
Im just imagining max with a sickle fighting trees
I love scarecrow, he's always undermined by the other villains, but he's the one who's always putting the heroes on edge.
I wish Vixen was her own character, and not a skin: has control over more than one animal in the animal kingdom
SizzLor1336 so do I. Netherrealms you're lazy.
9:04 that's so straight up Noob Saibot
i honestly wince at scarecrows horrifying command grab than jason vorhees's command grabs. the cracking and snapping for scarecrow is so much more unsettling and spine tingling.
Some great Scarecrow plays, but in my opinion you should try following up the MB Death Spin with F1,2,BF1. You leave it hanging quite often, when you could be adding an extra 20% damage, more if you have the extra meter.
next week can you do swamp thing
Scarecrow with the Terror Mask from Splatterhouse needs to happen.
Scarecrow would be so much better if his teleport was either faster, or had more s. Like everytime max teleported it was
stuffed on destination because it's sooooooooooo telegraphed and slow.
you can metter burn teleport to make it faster but for some reason he doesn't plus he picks one of the worst times to teleport like teleporting when the apponent isn't pressing buttons and gets punished for it
StrawHatGraze you can't meter burn panic-port, unless that's an ability you can equip. it's just a super slow, incredibly unsafe teleport.
Finally found someone else who makes scarecrow. Phenomenal character when you devote time to learn him, can't beat the range and juggle ability
"Oh no I forgot about the thing that she has with the stuff!"
~Maximilian Dood, 2017
Kinda disappointed Vixen doesn't have a tail, for... you know... purposes.
forward 2 1 into trait on scarecrow is my favorite way to get the stinky up, you should try it!
R.I.P Liberty Lol stinky.
R.I.P Liberty k
Quick tip for people learning Scarecrow, f+1,3 has a lot of potential for many mix-ups. (canceling is required to use mix-ups with that attack string)
Robin has a Nightwing outfit?
Nice slap in the face from Netherrealm
Anyone else reminded of Freddy Kruger when looking at Max's Scarecrow?
Kyle Nguyen Same voice actor too
Kyle Nguyen if only there was a premiere skin
9:45 "I wonder what plants fear?"
me: fire?
I never know exactly what is gonna come from your commentary but god bless it 9/10 times I'm laughing I'm excited for this week of!
Scarecrow is too awesome. Try following up that jump in 3 with neutral 2 2 into command grab. Have to hit the jump 3 pretty low but it does crazy damage for only four hits once you get it down. I think around 350? More than that if trait is on. Not as safe as ending with the blast though.
Seeing Max play a Grappler again has just made my day.
After Week Of Scarecrow can we get Week Of Joker
How you explain how you like characters or bad characters makes me think of Hazama or Yuuki Terumi of Blazblue. This is some great entertainment. Forgot why I stopped watching your channel. I was on a Vanoss spree now I'm going back to Maxmillian. Great uploads.
If you do a meter burn hook swing or whatever it's called, you can extend the combo by doing forward 1, 3, 3 I think
that costume against that black canary looks amazing on him. good stuff dood
I know this is too late to mean anything for week of scarecrow but you can follow up a connected forward 3 with the forward 1,3,3 headbutt combo
Pretty sure the fear toxin is just some dank ass weed and the other characters are just pulling a whitey
TheUcHiHaMaD The most dankest of the fear kush XD
TheUcHiHaMaD The most dankest of the fear kush XD
On the Barry whites
Oh good Lord the ping at 4:15 is astonishing. Reeaally wish this was on PC right about now.
i love the phrase armored wake up trees
why does that cheetah costume look like an older zendaya ..
Starfire looks like a more red Zendaya - maybe the designers just like her haha.
Matthew [Gigglestick] funny she acknowledged that Starfire looked like her
Pablito Zuniga are we talking about another dc character or are we talking about the actor
Swallow My Gin when did she say that
It was on Twitter. She tweeted a picture of Starfire and said it looked like her.
That Swamp thing is probably the best, I never see him XD
Max your really under untilzing this characters tools. He's got a command grab with amazing range that has almost no whiff recovery. His meter burn down back 2 is literally plus 6 on block. That means you can do this move and have your command grab come out in 4 frames literally narrowing your opponent's only option for escape to jumping.

Not to mention his sick tick throws from down 1 into command grab. MK_REO does a really great break down of this character if yall wanna learn him
God damn that Black Canary makes us people look bad who also play with Black Canary.
I was screaming to my screen like: WTF are you doing?!? Have you not encountered zoning or teleporting characters!?! :D
You do a front flip or two, fake it into back flip kick, you go in with the overheads, juggle that shit & BAM! Ez dmg :D
Cheetah's wake up uppercut is fucking ridiculous.
Comandgrab is his wakeup as Long as the enemy is in Front of you xD
all my characters are cool and the hardest to use, therefore making me the coolest kid in town
Max you know after that overhead meter burn attack you can do a back x or whatever it is for what you have and you can combo after that
I don't remember that rendition that you Max used in the intro, what is it called?
That Scarecrow grab against Black Canary at 13:53 holy fuck
cool, someone good to learn off of, been having alot of trouble using scarecrow
That first match was EPIC!!!
my favorite combo is when you got the stank on you just 1 2 3 back forward 1 with a meterburn, gives over half your trait bar and Like 4-500 damafe
Dr. Crane is making house calls!
It's good they fixed the bug so he now has a wake-up attack.
does max live stream these week of videos? if so I want to watch them live.
Isn't using scitzophrenia on wakeup really effective?
HolyHorseWhale yes but execution is a bitch on lag, thats why a lot of scarecrow players dont do it
scarecrow has a green mist wake up thing
the move at 5:15 is incinvible
I'm sorry but a Commercial for a App Called "Hooked" Chat Stories had just Showed up on the Advertismants and I may have a Virus on my IPad just by Clicking it? Did anyone have this Problem Before with an Advertisment on UA-cam if so I'd love the advice on how to fix it.
i read the title as " The Raping Begins " then watched the video and it seems appropriate XD
That double stomp reminded me of Jason in MKX
ive seen schizophrenia used as a wake up for scarecrow
man this game is so sexy. the sound design is crazy awesome I'll pick it up probably later when that super deluxe version hits ....I'm not good at fighters tho 😑
11d3adly11 it's super user friendly
Jacob McMillan cool. I will git gud with someone at least 😁
maaaan that first fight earned you a like on this vid
Death's second favorite weapon of choice is the sickle.
It would be funny if Cheetah had a Felicia costume
Anyone got any tips on how to get better at fighting games? i am having a hard time figuring out juggle combos and such. Doing the normal combos is easy but to link them together is rocket science for me atm. I got like 1 combo with green arrow and thats about it..
Check out Vesper Arcade's channel, he's currently doing Injustice 2 combo vids for beginners, you might find them useful.
fixcon46 this games juggles, depending, can be very time restrictive on inputs, especially since the game has a dial a combo system (pressing buttons in succession like 1 1 2 gets the combo out, but trying to mash it won't. ie to do the 1 1 2 combo, you can only press 1 1 2. You can't press other buttons during the strings)
Just keep practicing and watching videos, figure out when an animation ends and when you should input the next command. it'll take time to get used to but it's really fun once you do
thanks for the answers!
Are you gonna play GG Rev2?
You would think by Swamp Thing being a power character, He would do damage but...NOPE!
Men I have a question for injustice 2 its better the arrows or joysticks ?
i swear max be playing against some of the sorriest people online lolol
I don't think a lot of people notice the Freddy reference with scarecrow gear.
Pharaoh Horus I don' think a lot of people born post y2k recognizes Freddy besides that trashfest of a Jason-Freddy crossover
Just Rev It wasnt bad tbh but then again the freddys after 2 lost it horror element and became comedy.
Max are you going to do a review in the style you did for the first Injustice?
Max, you can maybe try Joker or Dr. Fate after you finish playing Scarecrow and Swamp Thing. I think nobody chooses these two characters that much and I don't know why..
i don't get wat max ans about swampthing having no damage i have a reletivly low level swamp thing and get a consistent 435 damage with 1 bar
What's the ball thingy in the background you ask, max? It's akira's remains.
Haven't bought the game yet, does ranked mode make the customization limited to cosmetic? Or do you have to level up and gear up a character before going into ranked?
I've only fought 3 Swampasses Online. They all turned my pooper inside out.
MOAR SCHIZOPHRENIA! Does good damage and leaves you at Scarecrow's optimum range.
I haven't played a fighting game since Street Fighter III. Watching this makes me wanna try Injustice
why does scarecrow put down that gas thing in his intro ?
scarecrow does have a wakeup it's the schizophrenia ability
I have a level 20 scarecrow but I don't have epic gear any suggestions ?
Max, I'm curious when you're going to do Batman :) But I suppose since he was in the last one, the demand isn't too high?
poodlemeister22314 I think he wants to focus on newer Fighters for now, wich is great.
Wassup Max? Good matches bro! :)
Hey max, I have a question for you.
When you play in Rank mode do you play for fun or competitive.
I have played some but noticed slight lags in other connections so I get frustrated and quit after I notice the lags.
Man, Scarecrow is fun as hell to watch…
Anyone got tips on playing scarecrow or atrocitus?
Does anyone have tips for command grabs in this game? I'm struggling to use it while being scarecrow
Personally Swamp Thing is my Favourite after Arcade mode but I see why not many ppl play as him. He's somewhat of a grappler but good at close range or getting in close with the right Player I'm still a newb.
