In regards to the background on Maxi's artwork, according to the official Soulcalibur twitter account: 'Maxi's background depicts oriental dragons and rough waves.During a Reversal Edge, all characters will make a remark about Maxi's haircut.On his profile in the Portrait Museum, Maxi's real name is listed as 'Makishi.'.It is unknown if he knows that Xiba is Kilik's estranged son.This can also be said about Tekken's Lee Chaolan: when he returned in Tekken 4, his appearance was still the same. Maxi's appearance has not changed in the seventeen-year gap between Soulcalibur IV and Soulcalibur V.

This has also been switched in Soulcalibur V. It's also interesting to point out that in previous games (after Soulcalibur), Kilik always had a travel companion whereas Maxi preferred to travel alone. In Soulcalibur V, however, Maxi is on a quest to save Kilik from an evil fate. For example, Soulcalibur IV, Kilik saves Maxi, who was struggling to overcome the influence of Soul Edge.

Maxi seems to have swapped places with Kilik in terms of their respective storylines.

His theme, 'Let My Soul Burn', is very similar to his Soulcalibur and Soulcalibur III theme 'Sail Over The Storm'.

Maxi is one of the few characters who actually says the names of their Critical Finishes.

Also, his hair is silver, and his clothes are black. He wields the evil sword in the form of a nunchaku.

In Kilik's fourth stage, after he defeats Tira, he fights Maxi who has become the new host for Soul Edge.

In the Spanish manual, Maxi is depicted as a girl.

The Soul of Maxi discipline is available to created characters of the Monk class.

Coincidentally, both are based on Bruce Lee, use nunchaku and have high-pitched cries in battle, are fighters, even killers.

Maxi's bonus costume resembles Kenshiro, from Fist of the North Star.

Maxi had a second special Weapon Demonstration where he uses dual nunchaku instead of one, which would later be used by Li Long in Soulcalibur III.

Maxi's ending is similar to Li Long's in Soul Edge, in that that they both abruptly die, despite being victorious over their enemies.

Following Maxi's debut appearance, fans and critics initially described him as 'an updated version of what Li Long would have been if he had returned', despite the fact that both characters have different fighting styles.

Maxi is known as The Dandy of the South Seas.

Even numbered games, his shirt is short sleeved.

In every odd numbered game he appears in, his shirt is long-sleeved.

However, he doesn't own many blue clothes, stating that he doesn't look good in them.

Maxi's favorite color is sapphire blue.

His 2P hairstyle and color scheme is similar to that of Street Fighter Alpha chatacter, Charlie Nash.

His hairstyle is similar to Street Fighter EX character, Vulcano Rosso.

There has been no official source on whether Namco initially intended for Maxi to actually be dead at the end of Soulcalibur, and not be present in Soulcalibur II.

He and Ivy are so far the only returning characters of the main cast to have one character remain their Destined Battle throughout the series.

So far, all of Maxi's Destined Battle's have been with Astaroth.

Also, Marshall's son, Forest Law, can be customized to look like Maxi in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Also, not only can Marshall Law be created in Soulcalibur IV, but Maxi can be customized over Law, in Tekken 6, too.

His 2P costumes from Soulcalibur II and Soulcalibur IV both contain pants, tabi and shoes that resemble those of Marshall Law.However, Maxi does not dress up like Bruce Lee and he's not Chinese. Maxi's fighting style, use of the nunchaku, and yells are homages to Bruce Lee as with other characters based on him such as Marshal Law and Forest Law from Tekken, Jann Lee from Dead Or Alive, Fei Long from Street Fighter, and Liu Kang from Mortal Kombat.Because he uses a nunchaku, Maxi can be considered Li Long's successor.He is a Limited time Level 4 rarity card that was available until 7 September, 2015. Maxi appears as a card in Outcast Odyssey.Soulcalibur V (playable from the start).Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny (playable from the start).Soulcalibur IV (playable from the start).Soulcalibur III (playable from the start).Soulcalibur II (playable from the start).'Sail Over the Storm' (Note: the track was renamed to ' Across Stormy Seas' in the English Dreamcast version).Pirate's Alcove (SC2) (Note: Maxi shares this stage with Cervantes).Harbour of Souls (SC) (Note: the stage is called ' Indian Port' the Arcade and Japanese Dreamcast versions of the game).
