Hot damn that is just awsome to pull off. Even just in training room it’s just sooo cool. LOL who would have ever thought of air plinking? Vryu once again taking makoto to a ho nuva rebel
Yes, but I didn’t really appreciate how he treated me as if I just started playing Makoto. I’ve been through 500+ battles with her.
no offense to you Hocd.
As I said, it was just an advice. But if you prefer to learn those crossup, etc, it’s up to you^^ But if you cant go close, they wont be useful 
WOW! that late tsurigi plink is an amazing find! i know longer have to fear sak and dhalsim’s aa normals… imma hit the lab asap
500+ is nothing when you’ve had at least 10k. Annyyywaaayyysss anyone see the meu1988 replays? His reactions are off the hook I mean come on. Jump over a fb only to fuki that ryus jump in? Damn
Man Vryu, mad scientist of Makoto forums. It’s so cooooool

In my opinion (hope this doesn’t offend?) ~500 battles is pretty much just starting with Makoto.
Follow up after EX Hayate mid screen.
Hold up forward during EX Hayate so you jump right away and kara-Tsurugi.
Seems safe on block (against Ken SRK, Ryu/Cammy C.MK. Careful vs Chun with Super though. :P). Kind of risky since it can be interrupted on start up by some normals and specials. Empty jump > Punish normals/specials.
If they don’t quick stand you can F.HK feint > EX Karakusa to grab them out of whatever they do.
Hmmm, should the Tsurugi think be called Plinked Tsurugi or Kara-tsurugi? Kara would be more…correct wouldn’t it?
Ahh. That’s not the message I’m trying to point out lol. I’m not trying to brag how many matches I have done. I’m just saying I don’t consider myself on a “basic” level anymore. I come to this forum and ask for help when I have failed badly on a match. When I have been through something I have never seen from someone before, and I have no idea what I should have done, I come here and check any match up lists, or manually post something. Not because I barely know Makoto. It’s all just momentarily. I haven’t really had any moments like this lately (however I am still stuck on Cammy/Ibuki rushdowns).

Ah it’s fine now. I’ve actually tested some MK crossups against Ryu and Chun-Li, and if they are standing, it’s absolutely unblockable like one of your videos said o_o. I recorded a Makoto doing the set up (ex oroshi, empty jump, mk tsurugi), and I used my self to block in both directions, and I still got hit either way. It was awesome. I did it online, and I felt pretty dirty using it, lol.
Also, nice to video. I still play with a controller because fightsticks are expensive as ass cheeks. But I will try to invest in one so I can P-link.
Does anyone know a nice affordable quality arcade stick that’s out there? I’ve looked, and all I found were ones $70+ 
either that or 30$ ones with really bad reputations.
Again, no offense intended, but when you posted about always getting beat by Ryu’s uppercut or Barlog’s jab I think many people viewed your position as someone who is perhaps fresh to the game, and 500 battles is, well…a week. v-ryu is like a Makoto-whisperer and he has introduced more tech than well anyone. INCLUDING THE PLINK LATE TSURUGI HOLY SHIT. Nobody means anything negative by anything, just that if you are getting hit by dragon punches on wakeup bait them, or if you are getting aa’ed don’t jump etc.
I am still completely new to Mak and I have used her for about 2 years, well over 10,000 fights, and I am entirely sure that when O.A.R., Lost Fragment, v-ryu, Robot Makoto, Mossad Man, Veege, TheKaiten etc… say something about a Mak replay or player that they have a point. They are on that meta-game level where Makoto glows, conditioning and reading and coaching the opponent to just do what you want.
sidenote: kara-tsurugi just sounds so much sexier IMO. also HOLY SHIT V-RYU THIS IS DOPE
No shit right. I’m just having fun doing it in training room. Can’t wait to use it in a real match.
Lab time tonight, this is going right to the top of my “overused and hence punishable” tactics
Is Rufus’ hp>hp tornado a block string or is there a space in between we can mash shit? Also are there any holes or exploits we can use in the akuma vortex? I’ve been playing shinakuma(Canada) and the other night he had a 20 streak on me :s part of it is cause I have no clue as to what do when I’m knocked down and part because I try to find ways out as we are playing lol. I know the simple answer is not getting knocked down but I feel that against a good akuma your going to be. On the ground at least once. How do we get out? And screw his unblockables.
Guys,it’s pretty hard to pull of consistently for me. Sometimes I get the simple double tap instead the p-link. I need more training
Lol now when I watch Vryu match videos I am thinking he is the dude in the video and busting up combos in matches XD
Okay so I have a match vs a Sakura player I am going to MM tonight and I would like some basic tips on how I should approach this match up. I mean, what moves of hers should I punish, what Ultras should I use and wheen I should be pressing her / backing off completly
Is it fakesteve? I’ve played him a couple times online but I can’t remember how I beat him. I do remember he would throw an ex tatsu every now and then. Again you’ll wanna keep her at mp/cr.mp range. Tatsu aren’t punishable but bait shoryus with safe jumps. 2 examples would b Backthrow-dash-j.hk or off an ex oroshi-dash-lp-j.hk. Make sure your combos are tight and simple too. He was looking for me to mess mine up.
I don’t like how you are using numbers as a way to measure your human skill. Is it possible for you to consider the fact maybe some people are good at taking in information and applying it? Hence the reason why I ask so many questions. Because once I know the answer, I apply it. 500+ matches was to explain that I have not “just picked up” on Makoto. You’re using numbers as a way to determine how good someone is. As if I have to play 10k+ matches in order to starting getting better. I’m a B rank, making my way to B+. It seems you’re just trying your hardest in every way to agree with V-Ryu. I’m not trying to cause debate.
I can’t tell if your dull or just dickriding V-Ryu. No offense to Vryu or you.
Yeah it is vs Fakesteve I also notice he does wakeup ex shoryu’s so I think I really need to make sure I got safejumps on lock. I think also if he feels he is getting pressured too much he will ex shoryu so I will look to bait that.
I noticed when fighting Sak that if she does her shoryu or ex shoryu and then fadc backwards i can C.mp hayate her, but is this reliable? Should I always be looking to see if she is going back or if she wll come towards me and do w/e.
I wouldnt count on it. My favorite option(unless it’s Seth) when any character fadcs is just block low while looking to tech grab/block an overhead. If he backdashes hes putting himself in an undesirable position. From that distance we can react AA or if he pokes counter poke him. If he dashes back in its free damage into a possible knockdown safejump game for us.
me too, i’m having mad trouble pulling this kara tsurigi off! what am i doing wrong???
try to do it with the same strength punch button:
LP~LK
MP~MK
HP~HK
it’s easier for fingers.
thanks dude, imma try that!
went into training and man i think this is going to take some serious practicing. i could not get it down consistently, seem like you gotta be pretty quick on the draw to get this out. anyway, if i could get kara kara down then this, hopefully, shouldn’t be a problem.
