Yup. That’s right. You can also shortcut the motion to 6+LK, 1, 4+MK/HK.
Words can not describe how salty I am right now. I lost about 30 games in a row on ranked tonight pretty much all my games.
About 10 of them using turbo. Actually one match I had was really laggy felt like I was swinging under water and this dude was pulling off crazy links with dudley on 2 bars and using turbo lol
I played Sakura for 2 years before switching to makoto about 2 months ago. I’ve officially learned that I’m fucking garbage. Goddamn.
On the flip side, me learning makoto for a long time made it really easy for me to pick a top tier in Cammy and Sakura.
I wish I could pick up Sakura but I’m awful at links. Never really succeed at using plinks consistently.
I’m pretty good at finger dexterity tho, thus playing Viper on the side.( And Yun, because Yun links are like 30 frames really )
I ate so many DPs playing Makoto I had to main Seth & Ryu for my sanity.
Oh my God. 80% of my opponents are Ryu/Akuma/Ken.
Please kill me. I want to get good at this game but I’m way too angry to learn anything from these matches.
How do I kill all these shotos.
Learn what you’re doing wrong from those matches. 
Getting DP’d a lot? Bait them, try blocking. Blocking is a mix up as well.
Does anyone else get salty when you go for a mock safe jump against shoto’s only for no uppercut to come out and they just wake up throw you? raises hand I do! I might as well have gone for the unsafe jump attack on their wake up. riggum raggam…
I do a throw tech a little after I land to cover my bases because that shit used to happen to me all the time, too.
Haha, yeah. I’m going to have to start doing that too. Makes you wonder if they know or if it was just a lucky guess.
It’s not so much a lucky guess. It’s just how peoples have been taught/conditioned, they see an empty jump and go auto-throw.
That and throwing also beats attacks because they’re so fast, I hate trying to go for emtpy jump into a low attack and getting thrown.
Beat it by doing a really late tsurugi, they will think it’s an empty jump, react to that with a throw, but get hit by the tsurugi followed up with a full combo for their troubles.
Of course this also comes with the original problem of UPPERCUT. Although it’s less likely because the late tsurugi makes them think it’s an empty jump.
Sigh… I’m seriously sick of playing against Cammy.
EX Divekick blow up EVERYTHING. I felt like I work so hard to keep her out and get momentum, just to get DP’ed in the face, while she can just go to town on me because if I ever try to stop her in her tracks at the wrong time, she can just randomly change her mix up with an EX Divekick and kill me.
As a new Makoto player, I lose all the time. It’s pretty damn frustrating and I end up losing my patience and screwing myself out of more points. The salt gets me every damn time. :\
Just wait until you’re actually using your brain, beating really good players, and then suddenly without warning some guy turns his brain off and you lose because they aren’t even really playing the game. You can’t predict someone when they go full retard. The worst part about this is people travel to EVO and do this. Probably the main reason you’ll never see me winning any tournaments and none of my friends understand it 
Probably the same reason Haitani apparently play his first EVO rounds with Rufus.
Yeah I’ve been messing around with Balrog. I like his changes so he’s going to be my go to when I’m playing in pools
Seriously had a dose of losing to brainless play the other day. Won like five in a row against good players, then lose to some Sagat who does nothing but mash DP and nj.mk when close.
I’ve actually gone over to the dark side recently and have given Akuma some serious playtime. Still suck but it’s fun learning new things.
