Digging In: Makoto

Lol I was talking about Dudley. But I feel you. Man handle it your own pace as usual. The ones youve done are magnificent so I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait. Thanks for those BTW.

5000 PP lol. I have trouble maintaining 3k myself (think I’m sitting on about 3200 at the moment). The problem is finding enough people to play against that are around that range to keep going up. I can win 4-5 matches in a row then lose that one random one and be down overall.

PP is infuriating to maintain.

Fun fact: Makoto has the lowest damage s.HP in the game, and the second most unsafe on hit or block (Fei’s is the most unsafe but he also gets 20extra damage and a 4F startup on his s.hp)

Isn’t it weird that Makoto has among the weakest normals (in terms of damage), fairly weak specials (compared to characters like Ryu.), and some of the most unsafe pressure in the game (compared to other rushdown characters like Cody, Guy, Yun, Cammy) yet Makoto somehow manages to have among the highest damage output potential in the game (other than like, Cody, Oni, or E. Ryu who have crazy damage potential. FYI I found out Cody has a 400dmg 630stun METERLESS combo the other day.)

Yeah, Cody’s damage is just unfair. You can be winning the whole match and he only need to get two combos on you and its over.

I’m writing up a …I don’t want to say guide but more of an explanation of the theory involved to play makoto. It’s sort of hard to put into words but you guys will get it when I write the entire thing out. I’m not going to tell people how to play but I’ll use examples to prove a point about the theory. I hope everyone will help me out on the forums

yeah, between super and AE, where did that added corner fuki ex tsurugi combo damage come from? like she does way more corner damage now than before.

I’m currently working on a max damage non counter hit/karakusa combo list for ALL characters starting from 0 bars to 4 bars. I’m on Dhalsim now. Give it till Canada cup. I should be done it before then though

After that comes ch setups + combos.

I would guess she has a weak st.hp because she can hayete cancel it into another one a few times for free depending on the range.

You mean depending on counter hit right? She can’t combo back into it off a normal hp hit.

No actually, I recently saw a video of someone actually hayete cancelling three or more st.hps together… ill try to find it

Does two st.hp hayete cancels and then st.mp>hayete super cancel st.hp hayete cancel st.mp hayete i believe

he’s getting counter hit on the first hp. That is what allows him to hc another hp. Hell if he wanted to go for damage ch hp>mp oro>fadc>hp should work. The hp>hc>mp is easier on Abel than other characters cause of his fat hitbox.

yes. And dont forget that stHP lost 1 hitstun frame on crouching opponent (like yamase and LP/MP oroshi) in AE2012.
