Initial criticism would be the fact that you try to start your offense with a forward jump or dash. If your going to use oroshi on his wake up dont use ex. You’ll get a higher reward with an mp for the same amount of risk. After the Backthrow you did the same thing, which worked in this case, but mixing it up will work wonders too. Dash empty neutral to bait the srk, use her xup tsurugi to throw him off. Work on confirming your hits. Don’t just buffer everytime. Congrats on the win and good job on using the vtsurugi.
y prefer hp oroshi cuz its uknockdown and i dont like it meaty …its to visible at least for me and the people i play… they can react to it… only remerber using ex oroshi once and was to bait his hp or mp shoryuken… the bacthrow thing is a setup…i do hit confirm my hits… as i say i choked and i am pretty constant whit my links in a not so loud tournament setting.

A lot of his damage came from crouch tech punishes, your st.MP blockstrings / pressure midscreen, and your wakeup options.
I’m a scrubby player, but I like using the cr.LP > st.LP > st.MP string, and usually HC st.MP if it’s blocked. st.MP > st.MP is really tempting, but best-case scenario, you get another one into a untechable knockdown or push them to the corner.
I like the f.strong > f.jab you started doing in likeeeee. The third or fourth game, lol. f.MP > st.MP isn’t as tight, but you can confirm off of it. Also, no fukiage corner combos after stun? You can do some crazy resets with them, and in a lot of situations, he only had one meter. So at worst, if he mashes out, you just eat EX Messiah damage.
But just watching the matches once, you only really block on wakeup if Rufus is pressuring you in the corner.
Try more wakeup games too!
I just saw st.MP and Tsurugi on his wakeup. st.HK, f.MP, cr.MK are all good meaties.
I’m typing this as I’m watching, and I’m not one for organization. BUT WHEN IT WAS 3-2 IN MIKE’S FAVOR, AND HE WAS OUT OF METER. YOU JUST SAT FULL SCREEN. AND I WAS LIKE, “ASDFGHJKL, GO IN.”
tl;dr = you missed some vital hit-confirms, and used meter when you didn’t really confirm at all. It’s hard to AA Rufus, but cr.MK was sparingly used. IMO, you should have tried to play more footsies and not go in all the time. Rufus only has divekick and crouching fierce to ruin your day from midscreen.
I really need to invest in some capture equipment…every single video on YouTube of my Makoto features me losing. Need to set the record straight a bit lol.
Anywho after rewatching things I have some input. As far as stmp>stmp, what’s he gonna do without meter? Backdash/focus is his only option. Before he got his first meter I should have been no respect normals w/o committing to anything (stlp too) to just stay plus and jump back when he got a meter. I could get half his life before needing to actually play. Also, I agree my distance is nonsensical at that one point. I need to be willing to play up close like that and just react.
If you use st.MP > st.MP so religiously, opponents are going to realize what’s up. It’s not even a true frametrap, lol.
If people can wise up online, god forbid someone offline finds out how to punish it.
st.MP > st.LP is a lot more reliable as a trap for the same payoff. Meaty f.MP is good, and you can psyche an opponent out by feinting the meaty and going for something different entirely.
But, I digress. I’m a PSN monster, and I’m reallllly bad.

Excuse the prehistoric TV; my flatscreen is in my dorm, and I’m at home, lolol.
That match was **extremely **laggy, and that’s why I did so many stupid jumps and dashes. I’m usually a lot more patient.
Still, that comeback would have felt. Sooo nice.
I’m okay with him knowing I’m gonna do it because Rufus lacks a 3frame jab. Not refuting the purpose of MP LP, just breaking it down.
Vryu playing in the Europe Master Series this weekend! http://shoryuken.com/2012/11/02/street-fighter-25th-anniversary-master-series-europe-qualifier-french-cup-day-1-streaming-live/
he’s the only Makoto player there and I’m going to try and make sure I watch for his matches so i can get hype and flip a table when he wins.
Show em dat Rindokan Karate Vryu! woo!
I think he lost, he is not in the top 8 
Actually he didnt take part in the tournament sadly, he was replaced by 4K, another Swiss player.
Dont know why he didnt come tho.
Yeah I was so disappointed = ( I was telling everyone in the stream they were about to see the finer points of Rindokan Karate as interpreted by Vryu himself.
Then no Vryu and I looked like a fool! and everyone said he was just an online warrior who doesn’t come to tournaments! I defended his honor the best I could but I could only do so much… I don’t think he should show his face round these parts anymore his rep is tarnished!. Lol i’m jk.
But seriously I wanted to see Vryu and I stayed up to watch him I was so sad. I felt like the kid sitting by his window waiting for Santa Claus all night but he doesn’t show up. /sigh
I cant make out either of the names. Was wondering if i played either of you on psn. I hate losing to lag, i was playing yesterday and in the middle of my mix up against a good cammy it froze then started up. during the freeze the cammy mashed the hell out of back dash n while it was like dashed 5 times b4 it was smoothe again. I lost due to that.
People give the PSN a real hard time but I find it OK as long as I’m playing people from my region (UK/Europe). It gets real messy when I try playing Japanese, American or Australian players. Having said that, I’m living with my parents these days and the internet is so bad I can’t even sign in to PSN. But anyway, just wanted to congratulate the above player on the counter-hit to super to ultra combo. That was sick.
