A Max Cancel is HyperDrive Mode Super Cancel into Neo Max Special move.
Start Versus Mode, select a 1vs1 match.
Select your characters, and a group of options will appear before the match starts, letting you alter the settings.
For Player 1, or your Gamertag character, select the option:
Level 5 P HD MAX. This will start you with a full HyperDrive gauge and 5 meter stocks.
For Player 2, the dummy character, select the option:
Level 1 HP 50%. This will start your opponent at half vitality.
I'll use Terry Bogard as the example character, as his Max Cancel is fairly easy to execute.
When you first start, move over to your opponent and punch him twice with HP to deplete his health a bit. This will guarantee that you get a KO when you hit with the Max Cancel.
To enter HyperDrive mode, press LK+HP(Light Kick+Hard Punch). When you move, you'll see a streaming aura behind your fighter.
Once active, the HD meter will deplete quickly.
While in HD mode, use Terry's Buster Wolf Super Special Move.
The notation is D,DF,F,D,DF,F+LK or HK
If you're familiar with Street Fighter, that's two fireball motions
Once the first hit of Buster Wolf connects, quickly input:
D,DF,F,D,DF,F + LP and HP simultaneously to execute Terry's Trinity Geyser, which is Terry's Neo Max Super Special Move.
You should cancel the second hit of the Buster Wolf into Trinity Geyser if done right, and MAX CANCEL will appear on the screen.
Repeat 50 times, one the 1v1 setting this will maybe take an hour
Additional notes:
Choose 1v1 because it's easier to start with a full gauge for the 1st round and an easy KO for the second round. You can do this 3v3, but it involves a lot of meter building after the first round.
Performing the MAX Cancel will also stack towards these two achievements, as you're using the Neo Max SSMs
Hey!-Hit with 100 Neo Max Super Special Moves
And the Final Blow.....-Perform 50 Neo Max Super Special Move finishes.
Okay!
Same setup as above.
Stand at starting distance from your opponent. (Like when the round starts)
Press LK+HP to enter HyperDrive mode.
Perform Mai's Super Special: D, DB, B, DB, D, DF, F + LK
Perform Mai's Neo MAX: D, DF, F, DF, D, DB, B + LP + HP
Number notation:
Super Special: 2141236+LK
NeoMax: 2363214+LP+HP
Plain English:
Super Special: Quarter-Circle Back, Half-Circle Forward, Either Kick
Neo Max: Quarter-Circle Forward, Half-Circle Back, Both Punches
The reason I find this one easier is because after your Super Special begins, you start moving towards your opponent, and that gives you time to start inputting the Neo MAX. Then you can just press both Punch Buttons when you connect. You can cancel into your Neo MAX after the first or second hit from your Super Special, so your timing window is also a bit bigger. I got this on my first try.
Robert Garcia's Max Cancel also seemed pretty easy because you repeat the same joystick inputs for the Super Special and the Neo MAX. I was also able to get that one on my first try.
Of course, different people find different things to be easier or more difficult, but I thought it would be nice to post a couple alternate suggestions that worked for me.
To perform a MAX Cancel you must first be in HD mode which is detailed under Piece of cake!. A Max Cancel is a cancel from a Super Special Move to a NEO MAX, You cannot max cancel from a normal or a special mode. Normally NEO MAX moves cost 3 power stocks however due to HD mode it will only cost 2 stocks of meter. Most characters in the cast of a max limit of 3 stocks which is why this is one of the only ways of using a MAX Cancel. Here is an example of using a MAX Cancel with Kula:
Diamond Edge: + / > NEO Freeze Execution:
Just like the Super Cancel you can still MAX Cancel off the Super even if it were to be blocked or even whiffed entirely. Here is an example of an easy MAX Cancel using Kyo Kusanagi:
Orochinagi: + / > Ama No Murakumo: + /
