Hey Nuts, just wanted to thank you alot for the tutorial, it’s really helping as I just starting using Mak last week.
The main problem I face when I play is not just applying pressure, but how to create openings with Mak. IMO it’s a personal problem since I play a bit too reckless. Anyway, thanks again man, I’ll be frequent visitor to these forums. =]
That’s my problem too. It gets better the more you play. You learn when to go all out and when to kick back and observe.
This is seriously awesome, i’m fairly new (about 300 hours) to fighting games, and just started Makoto.
So thanks for the post.
In fact the entire Makoto character thread is nuts, played a little Blanka and that thread sucks in comparison!
So good job i spose.
(i’m sure you love hearing praise from a scrub!ha)
Don’t worry, I appreciate that you guys are finding the thread useful. Once upon a time, I was good at fighting games, but now, I’m in my early 30’s and it’s hard to find time to practice (I’m lucky if I can get 2 hours of online matches a week :sad:) so I’m actually quite horrible. Despite my lack of expertise in SSFIV:AE, I still have 15 years of fighting game experience to draw from. Since I can’t help people with advanced tactics, I might as well teach foundation.
BTW, I keep posting in this thread so it will stay near the top. Need to get this thing stickied
Awesome and very funny guide !!
I hear you, I’ve checked some other threads just to see how they operate and none of them compare to the Makoto threads. I’m so happy Makoto was the character I chose.
yo dude dont play blanka , too many of them already … lol
Meet me on Psn and we can compete for scrubbiest Makoto lol
thx for the post, it was a nice read
Thanks a lot for the guide, i need all the help i can get with my scrubby mak.
I hear you, I’m also playing way to reckless when trying to get in, especially against people who try to zone.
Yeah, I’ve had that problem too. Patience is key. Here’s a piece of advice that has helped me recently: Instead of thinking of her as a rush down character, try to think of her more as spike damage character. Even if you’re down on life, all you need is that one chance to even the score or pull ahead. So be patient and slowly force your opponent into the corner.
Yeah, that sounds like good mindset to have when playing her. Thanks.
Is it weird that I heard the OP’s Lesson as if he were “Rex Kwon Do” from Napoleon Dynamite?
FOR THE VERY NEW
this video is to explain what to do against mashers. I when I started the set with this guy (endless battle 1 on 1) I saw he was a low bp ken player so the first thing that came to mind is watch for mashing. The set itself I think worked out well because the guy changed characters but all of them (except for dhalsim) have some move they can mash. So I was able to look out for Blanka mashing electricity (just sweep these guys on their wake up) Zangief mashing lariat (neutral jump late tsurgi beats it all day- careful though if you use roundhouse version and they quick rise, you may still be in recovery and they can grab you) And the rest of the dp cast (just wait for it) I posted the entire set so you see that I lost to the mashing a couple times a well. I always think the other guys is saying "Im invincible!"
So here we go…
p.s. I guess he gave up in the end with Sagat

hope this helps
You know one of vryus punishes for srk type moves on block is Two Fukis and a tsurugi. Its ALOT of damage and safer than letting an idiot masher like him land. and it may make him think alittle more.
While I can only agree with that follow up, I think my point in posting the video was not to show the most damaging punish or even to showcase punishes at all. My actual point was to show that you just have to wait for mashers to kill themselves. But yeah i need to get my punishes leveled up for the real matches. Gotta get all the damage that you can : )
I did watch it all the way through too it seemed like that guy was turboing too. Either way he was a r-tard. Or a little kid or both.
mcgowanshewrote Just a thing, you backdash away too much. Even that bad player was unintentionally able to take advantage of that.
Yes…yes I know smdh
I was even going to complain about her back dash some more but then again maybe I should stop doing it!
