it’s probably easier on arcade because the arcade version is a little slower than console?
damn so true:sweat: this is me coming from just little arcade experience here, that makes alot of sense. you goin to evo vegas, face?
yep yep yep. hopefully i can redeem myself after that sbo nonsense.
random texan in freezing temperature with no heat in the building makes one shitty makoto. 
making it out of a pool in vegas (top 2 out of 40-- if 3s is as big as last year) sounds so brutal. :wasted:
hey i was born in texas too, man that shit was so cold even a bum would’ve walked outta there.
yea and i’ve been thinking the same thing…been on the fence ever since they changed the rules for that from top 4 to 2. I can just see an Evo Finals 3s black bracket of death in my head(its daigo, ricky, nuki, justin, …and YOU!!!) but hopefully I’ll see you there man
Thanks guys, I can do it a little more consistantly now. Whoever said to cancel LK into hayate and then into karakusa helped out a bunch. =)
Ahahaha thanks again again guys, I woke up today and just started doing kara-karakusas, and now I can do kara-karakusa 99% of the time.
How many peeps planned on going to EVO this year?
Can I rely on S.RH to meaty most wake-ups? Even wake-up grab or kara grab? Can it stop EX shoryu? Also can Meaty S.strong stop EX shoryu? I remember watching the* How to bust vid*, but I don’t remember if they used meaty strong on Ex shoryu.
I just tested a ton of ways to try and stop an EX shoryu wake-up. S.RH definetly doesnt work against it, i also tried a ton of EX moves and regular moves, wouldnt bust for anything sadly. Better block or parry lol. On a side note, how well did u do against mrpanda? He beats me every time haha, and I only pick makoto. But than again im very new to this game. Him fighting me probably didnt help you any =0.
11 pages. my life is complete.
I did pretty good against mr.panda ( if you want to know the matches where close but I don’t count close matches). I believe I only beat him like 3 times the whole day. So yea… I learned a ton though about that match up next I’m gonna get mid evil on his ass :badboy:
how often do you guys use Makotos taunt to power her up, like the 3 times one and then do something and how long will it last
also how much reduced power to SA1 happens if I do HP into Hayate and then SA1
I was bored today and were playing around with a cpu makoto with me as elena and the cpu did an ex hayate, i sniffed it and sa2 but i flew through makoto? Can anyone explain this to me(i don’t have access to frame data right now)?
I caught it a frame or two before the hit frames.
brave dance is airborne, my guess is mak probably just went right under it
random alex facts
post karakusa you can fpxjab hayate and followup with a short karakusa if you did the fp as early as possible
point blank s sp -->crxshort hayate combos even if the standing strong is not meaty mid screen
It didnt go over, thats the funny thing it went through makoto.
Apparently Yun’s qcf+p is fairly airborne as well, cuz if you c.lk -> SA I on parry, the last hit won’t connect. what a jip
ive gone through Yun and Alex with EX Hayate. I have no clue what the situation was with Alex, with Yun im positive he was doing lunge punch. it was nuts.
Okay today i was playing around again and a ex hayate went through a mallet smash a few frames before the hit leg comes down(one leg still barely above ground but still airborne).
Abhi-
This is actually fairly unknown in the third strike world cause not many people use it, its not even in this guide.
You get 30% more damage after the first taunt.
35% damage added on to the 30% for the second taunt.
So you can get a 65% damage bonus maximum.
But the damage only goes towards you next attack. Only the first attack after your taunts. Not sure if it counts towards a blocked hit.
The third one just reduces some stun you have I believe.
I never use it because I never have an opportunity, but maybe when they are stunned you can get 2. Cant help ya here.
Makoto’s dash and EX hayate have strange properties, with her EX hayate, she kind of teleports during certain frames, so sometimes you can teleport through people doing ex hayate (e.g. two makotos doing two ex hayates at the same time from a certain distance will just go right through each other). Her dash also has weird properties, I remember during T7 a chun whiffed her SA II, and I dashed up to her from behind and it hit me >_> something about her leaning forward shifts her hit box ahead of where she is or something…
but yeah, EX hayate will go through a lot of things, I’m pretty sure
