Max Irvaron/Mystic Zone

Playstyle

Max Irvaron, the humanized counterpart of Mackenzie Hartley, is here due to some fierce changes in the Genesis Wave! He is a bit taller than all the other characters, giving him a slight edge in height and range, but that isn’t all the preteen punisher has got in his moveset!

Max is a character who has a lot of strange moves that have a good balance. He has some close-up moves and a few projectiles, allowing him to fare well in any situation. However, the one thing he isn’t good at is keeping up a good defense and having a lot of health - due to this, you have to be very careful.

Moveset

Chaos Arrow - OK Max releases a green Chaos Spear that floats in place before firing off at the enemy. Keep pressing the button up to two times to fire two more of them. In the air, the shoot diagonally downwards.

Disco Dome - + A Command Normal where Max throws a yellow orb in the air that shoots three types or lasers in all directions - red, fast one that don't make anyone flinch, blue lasers that do moderate damage, and slower silver ones that do pretty good damage. However, the red and blue ones can hit Max.

Chaos Guitar - OK / + Max makes a guitar out of Chaos Energy. In the QCF version, he strums it and it pushes the opponent forward, damaging them. In the QCB version, he swings it to the ground, hitting overhead.

Chaos Blade - + Light Version: Max coats his hand in Chaos Energy in the form of the blade and slashes forward, releasing a blade beam. Medium Version: Max slashes twice and it can immediately cancel into an attack, but there's no blade beam. Heavy Version: After Max slashes twice, if you don't cancel the attack/he misses, he'll fire the blade beam.

Chaos Fist - OK + Light Version: Max bursts forward with an emerald-colored fist and punches downwards. Medium Version: Max begins by punching forwards. Afterwards, he'll punch downwards for a sliding knockdown. Heavy Version: Max does three punches before transferring the Chaos Energy to his legs and doing a kick that sends him and the opponent downwards.

Jumpstarter - OK + Max fires two Chaos Arrows downwards, creating an explosive range and sending him and his opponent upwards.

Chaos Wave - OK + Max's first Mana Burst where he charges red energy in his hands before firing it forward in the shape of a large beam. It can be angled, and you can hold the Light/Medium buttons to teleport behind your enemy before firing it for another bar.

Now You See Me - + A counter Mana Burst, Max has a second of invulnerability. If he is hit in that period, he will zoom around the stage, attacking his enemy from all directions. Then, he elbows them in the gut, launching them to the edge of the screen.

Chaos Surge - + / Max's Mana Break in which he surrounds himself with Chaos Energy and dashes to the opponent. After he dashes through them, he kicks them in the back of their head, sending them up. Next, he blitzes them from all direction in midair before putting a Chaos Arrow to their chest and sending them straight down.

Misc.

Sol Jet (assist) Wearing his Extreme Gear skates, Max jets forward, knocking the opponent into the air if he hits them.

Jackhammer (assist) Max appears behind the opponent and sends a Chaos Fist downwards, smashing them into the ground. If you press the Assist button one more time quickly, he will then kick the opponent into the air.

Stun Punish - + Max runs forward, knocking the opponent into the air. Then, Max runs to the edge of the screen and starts running on it. Next, Max jumps off of it, appearing as a yellow blur as he strikes the opponent repeatedly by bouncing off the two sides of the screen. Finally, Max kicks the opponent down to the ground.

FF and Dialogue

Focus Frenzy: Max gets a new mechanic where he can charge two Chaos Arrows by holding the button and store them for later. When charged, he can fire a Chaos Buster for no meter, a powerful Chaos projectile that hits multiple times. Teammate changes include:

• Younger Mac: Boosts speed by 10%
• Mac: Boosts all physical attacks by 15%
• Kennedy: Boosts Chaos Powers by 18%

Introduction: Max rides into the area with his Extreme Gear skates before skidding to a stop. Then, he smiles cheekily at the camera with one hand before brushing his thumb past his nose with the other.

“Irvaron’s here to par-tay!”

“This is authorized business!”

“You’re gonna wish you went down early!”

Ending: Max stretches his arms and legs before saying his line and teleporting away in a flash of white light.

“Lame! Can’t keep up with this!”

“I’m at the top of the class! You’re a crooked-B student.”

“That was an unadulterated beating! Stay down!”
