TR Max will just kick the player and shoot their leg spikes into them. Much cleaner.

The VS MAX just focuses pure awesome on people until they spontaneously combust.

+1 to Talek's Vanu hi-tech, awesome-thrower melee device, as long as the awesome emanates from the crotch.

Remember that each max unit has multiple specials they can equip also. Everyone caught that right?

Speaking of that it would be nice to see an NC shield burst. Drain the shield and burst damage into enemies.

As VS I would really like to see a weaponless max with 5 blades on each hand and allow it to burst forward using its jets and cut at enemies. Suddenly they're far away and you're putting some rounds into them and then bam they're in front of you and in two swipes you fall.

I think they should call it MAX Tyson's Punch out!

I think you should get one-shotted if you let a max get close enough to melee you. Assuming their movement speed ratio is anything like that in PS1

Yeah but you can get close to exploit their slow turning speed, so you can run around the back of them at close range and kill them. At longer ranges it requires more speed to outpace their turning rate.

That makes me wonder... Will MAXes in PS2 still have that slow max turning speed? It was good for balance, but what if they decided that it's too big of a pain in the ass for the everyday gamer?

It's a worthwhile question for the next Twitter QnA in two weeks.
