* SpecialEffectsFailure: One of the unfortunate side-effects of the switch to stream archiving is that Max's recording method creates a ton of visual artifacts in the footage.
* StopHavingFunGuys: Absolutely {{averted}}; while of course Max plays to win, he values having a good time and using the characters he likes over things like CharacterTiers. A prime example is the fact that he plays Q in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIII'', despite his being considered the third worst character in the game, simply for [[RuleOfCool cool factor]] and the fact that a well-played Q is really fun to watch. If anything, these kinds of people ''despise'' Max; go onto any "hardcore" fighting game forum and you'll be guaranteed to find at least one person sneering about how they hate him because he has the audacity to be ''nice'' to casuals and new players.
** The channel is also home to one of the few places where you can find Super Smash Bros gameplay that features everything the game has to offer in multiplayer as opposed to the much more common practice of locking off items and specific stages. Quite refreshing considering the crew playing.

** A few of the stories Max brings back from big conventions like E3 and EVO can become this. One big example: ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' head honcho Hideaki Itsuno cried TearsOfJoy when Creator/ReubenLangdon showed him Max's reaction to the ''[=DMC5=]'' reveal trailer, since it demonstrated how much people appreciate his work and how excited they are about the game.

** Due to his love of the ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'' franchise, Max played ''VideoGame/AlienIsolation'' when it first came out in 2014, but was disappointed due to its slow start and because (as he put it) ''[[VideoGame/SilentHills P.T.]]'' was so scary that it made everything else seem tame in comparison. He came back to ''Isolation'' in 2020 for Halloween and, after getting past the slow beginning, had a great time and even said its atmosphere was some of the best he'd ever seen in a game.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: At EVO 2018, Max revealed that he'd been contacted by Literature/GuinnessWorldRecords because he'd won the record for largest online fighting game community, and would be featured in the 2019 Gamer's Edition of their book. They asked Max to come in for a commemorative photo shoot...and he told them that the rest of the team had to be in the photo too or else he wouldn't do it, because they're just as important to the channel as he is. How's that for TrueCompanions?

** Max started a new series around July 2020 called "Virtua Couch" to try and get a safe couch gaming-like experience during the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7N1NMzZCO4 a CvS2 episode]], he insisted on paying a local fiber optic company ''$1700 a month for commercial-grade gigabit internet'' to deliver a quality stream experience, and throughout the episode he repeatedly insists he's only able to do so thanks to the continued support of his fanbase, feeling that spending his fans' money on better streaming was just the right thing to do.

* BrokenBase: In late 2018, Max announced that he would be doing streams with official sponsorship. While the vast majority of his fanbase was okay with this because very little changed from his normal streams[[note]]they're rare, Max still has control over what games he plays, and at worst he runs one or two ads during his normal multi-hour streams[[/note]], a small portion complained about him "selling out". In order to address this, Max tried to make it so the streams benefited his audience as well; the first stream saw him buying a gaming laptop from Walmart, which he promptly raffled away.

There's also the fact that he only accepts sponsorships from companies or products he'd actually use himself, rather than just shilling for whomever will hand him the largest checks.
