AEMAKOTO Guide and Q&A: Ask all your questions here!

tut is coming. there are a few roadblocks (vegas is stupid/slow and really doesn’t like working with Hauppauge, SFxT dropped today, Tournaments, prep for evo, i’ve been doing stick mods lately, etc etc). But its coming. It will take some time… it is a long video.

Take your time on the tutorial, though I’m looking forward to it… Who are you playing in SFxT? I plan to pick it up after my Ethics midterm this Friday.

Edit: Still day dream about Makoto in SFxT.

Precisely why I didn’t get SFxT.

Thanks for the advice.
I want this tournament experience to be cool, and nice … I’m not going to win, I know it =) But i’m going to play, and represents Makoto the best I can : )

So… Picked up SFxT. I have one gripe:

No Makoto.

Other than that? Fuck SFIV. Yeah it’s like that lol. The game is AMAZING:

-MUCH tighter reversal timing
-no autocorrect
-no focus attack
-Alpha counters
-unlimited juggle combos with ex

Yo just think of everything that’s wrong with SFIV and take ther shit out, add third strike with system direction, then add Tekken sprites. And you have a game that is FRESH AS HELL. I’m telling you man, if makoto was in the game she would be WAY OP because you can combo into and out of some grabs, you can OTG, you can relaunch, wall bounce more than once, ground bounce… I mean good GOD have you seen this shit played by regular people on stream? I’m loving this damn game lol. I’m going to still do SFIV Makoto for EVO, but after that, she is officially OG for casuals, and I’m going to focus on evil characters lol. Heihachi is a FUCKING BEAST. SFxT is too damn fun. You guys need to get that. This game is good for the FGC.

Just wanted to ask, since Makoto isn’t in SFXT who are you guys using? I wanted to play a character similar to her, but I haven’t found one yet. So I’ve been running Jin/Lili

And I concur with everything Mossad said, this game is godlike!

SFxT is damn fun, people. Makoto users should gravitate towards Heihachi. Really strong up-close, with scary scary mixups and high damage output. Plus a counter you can combo off of. His movement is not as dynamic as Makoto’s though, as his dash is pretty bad (and doesn’t make up for his terrible walk speed). He’s really satisfying to use, and I think he’s a good fit for us.

I don’t know whom to pair him up with though…

…heihachi? babyzone mixups. wait till people learn how to block from his obvious windup lol.

i’ve been playing julia. she’s got ridiculous damage and doesnt even need meter to do it. crazy far backdash and a decent dp. once you find out how to make people guess with swift steps on wakeup it gets scary for them since it can go empty for a low normal hitconfirm, hit as an overhead to crumple, or empty so her backdash will put her back in front of a forward tech roll rofl. it even gets 1 point of armor from ex

I feel a bit thick right now but I don’t really get how this works? Use j.HK instead of j.MK and do cr.HP at the same time?

Heh… although I’ve been playing this game for a fair while there’s still some stuff that I’m not good with. Stuff like Option-Selects and the fact that I’m only just getting the hang of plinks, etc.

The input is j.HK near the end of the jump (specific timing, less lenient than j.MK), with down-back HP inputted a split second after Makoto lands. If the enemy blocks or gets hit, there will be some visible block/hit-stun that eats up the input.

Watch out for slow invincible reversals like Sakura’s EX DP, Balrog’s EX HB, Rufus’s EX Messiah Kick, etc, where this OS will come out during their start-up and punish your safe jump OS. At these times, choose cautiously based on how smart your opponent is (AKA know it’s a safe jump) and where they are in the mind-games, possibly targeting your OS.

Hey people , I have a quick question , can anyone create youtube channel backgrounds ? Youtube changed my channel and now I dont have a good looking background -.- can anyone create something simple ? That doesent copy itself 1984 times … lol … >_>

Oh and by the way on topic , against sakura OS ultra1 beats everything she has … tried it online … the dude left after 3 games :smiley:

If anyone can, could you please find or capture a more…usable size of this: http://iplaywinner.com/storage/ssf4-images/makoto/karakusa.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1272520970551 ?

As for SFxT, I haven’t played too much, only trials. Don’t have a team or anything but I like Asuka at the moment. That J.HP hits both in front and behind. :o

So I aim to main Makoto. My branching question is: who is a good pocket character/sub for Makoto (given her bad match-ups), and in that vain, who are her worst match-ups?

Bad match-ups IMO: Fei Long, Cammy, T. Hawk (varying opinions here …), Sagat, Ryu, Balrog, Akuma, and especially E. Honda.

I don’t think there’s any one character who beats or goes even with every above character, but Balrog and Sagat combined beat or go even with everyone up there AFAIK.

I have a request. May can anybody to do vidio as he doing instant tsurugi on stick to both side. Simply 15 minutes of trainings of this element in left side and the back is wet…o_O How do you do it?

May a tsurugi be reversal ?
If someone hits you meaty in the knee, is there a difference in term of vulnerability between a neutral jump and a tsurugi ?

I hope someone answers you guys but I’m afraid the are all off playing cross tekken

:rofl: look like that

100% on poison and julia. LOL.

Whats the best punish for whiffed shoryuken? Im getting better to baiting them, but i choke when its time to punish and most of the time end up doing cr.hk when they are coming down.
