Hello srk, im quasimo.
sorry for sounding so harsh, my sodium levels were extreme at the time!
gblbglrlgrlhhrhrhhllh
Finally thought I had started to get the hang of things. Few days break and all kinds of silly shit happens. Look at all the different ways for me to be a FUCKING MORON. And what exactly am I going to learn about my game when the opponent, I don’t know, STOPS playing and reacting in any way on the second round? How many passive-aggressive players does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Ten billion, all up my whiny ass, I guess.
I wanna stab myself for missing not one but two karakusa to U1 in a row. Then following up that doublet of fantastic execution with sloppy dashes into fireballs.
Anybody else find that they play much better against skilled players? I swear scrubs suck the skill out of me. Like, I fought this Ryu the other day, perfected him in round one. He spend the next two rounds going nuts, jumping and spamming constantly etc… I couldn’t beat him. Ridiculous! I think I give bad players too much respect…
Mindgames only work on people who are thinking when they play. Makoto’s gameplan is largely built around getting inside your opponent’s head, but doing so is impossible if they lack enough neurons to form a synapse.
ok, this pisses me off the most! the fuki coming out when you want u1 is one thing but the dash under then forward dash is just stupid. i don’t get what’s happening here, i dash under, then immediately input forward + lp for example and a forward dash right into my apponent comes out. I’m usually so confused after that i eat whatever comes next.
@gen the worst is when you air to air, then dash up and neutral jump rh/tsurugi and sometimes she’ll kick in the opposite direction. it only happens occasionally. i think mostly against chars like t.hawk/chun/honda. i guess wider hurtbox characters.
Why? Why is everything about online ranked so retarded? Even Japan ranked is fucking retarded it’s so stupid. So much retardedness, offline I can do fine, online is just retardedness that for some reason even if I bait out it still wins.
Ranked matches are basically one big game of bait and punish 95 percent of the time. So many canned responses to situations, it pains me that I hardly ever see anyone doing anything creative.
I was in a interesting lobby yesterday (NO SHOTOS) four man lobby with me as makoto, then a dudley, a gen and a dee jay. Unfortunately I was the blue ribbon loser of the group
I want to be consistent. I played decently yesterday and only lost once to a 12000BP Viper yesterday (he joined again afterwards and I beat him down).
I hate how some days my Mak is like a cute cuddly little puppy and then other days she is like a hungry wolf hunting…and some rare occasions she can be a mother fucking man eating Cerberus.
The one thing lacking in makoto’s arsenal is an overhead, i hate people throwing out “she has oroshi” at me, i mean just a normal overhead such as the universal overhead in 3rd strike. im fairly certain every other char in the roster has one - standing or jumping - but makoto feels so left out without that one simple move, is it that capcom feared with an overhead she would be unstoppable? That’s the only reason i can see them not giving her any type of overhead and i appreciate that they made her so close to 3s but seeing how many characters just get a relatively easy overhead into combo (random example: sakura n jump overhead kick into crazy frustrating combo).
No offense, but I don’t think you understand this game very well yet. Sakura doesn’t have any special jumping overhead, in fact, her f+MK overhead is for utility only and you can’t combo off of it. In fact, there are multiple characters without non-jumping overheads at all, like Rose and Cammy and Zangief. ALL jumping normal attacks are overheads, but dive kicks and aerial specials are usually not. Ultimately there are very few overheads in this game that you can combo off of to begin with.
Makoto’s overhead game is very good. So good in comparison to her low game, in fact, that lots of people stand block her by default on wake-up or in strings. Her EX Oroshi is just on the point of being react-able at all, stops people jumping or crouch blocking (thus training them for further mix-ups), and leads into okay damage/stun and most importantly, a free safe jump setup (forward dash, st.LP whiff, neutral jump). MP Oroshi into a st.MP or better on an opponent’s wake-up does so much damage, by default, it’s reasonable to not hold down-back, as she has to take risks to counter that.
Surprisingly or not, we seem to have the same stories : we have our GDLK days and … well, the other days.
I think my biggest weakness, the one that keeps me from being constantly winning, is my lack of self control. Believe me : IRL, I’m the most calm guy you’ll ever know, but when it comes to loose in Street Fighter, I’m like the incarnation of rage.
If I’m defeated, all my neighborhood would know it, my arcade stick would know it, and even my table would know it.
I’m like “FUUUUUU”, and that’s the begining fo the end for me : here come the precipitation, the whiffed karakusa (that were meant to be IAT at the first place…), the missed FP after a karakusa, the dashes in fireballs, etc…
And there is absolutely NO WAY you can win with Makoto with this state of mind. So yeah, note for myself, when you get angry, quit playing, just take a break.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF—
This is annoying.
this is one of the reasons i just can’t win online with makoto. i’ve been playing sf4 since last christmas. few weeks ago i beat a ken with +3000pp and 11000bp. also a lot of people with +2000pp. guess my pp and bp now? Fucking 600 and 2100. yesterday i got beat by a guy (500pp) who jumped constantly with mk, did three jabs and jumped again, somehow i couldn’t do anything.
connection is almost always at 3 bars, which most definetly won’t help.
i can’t react to any dp online, try to punish and the scrubs always go for a 2nd and 3rd dp when they miss the first.
moral of the story, you gonna get dped!
