Fucking hawk
For as bottom tier and terrible Hawk is in general in this game it’s like he is custom built to give Makoto trouble specifically. Our stuff just does not interact with his stuff favorably at ALL.
I don’t agree.
F.mp/st.hk >Condor Spire
Fukiage/Hayate EX (on block) >Condor Dives
cr.mp > Hawk’s normals
nj into whatever > Command grabs/U1
Just spacing,don’t run away,but hit (hard!) and run,patience is the key. The classic T-Hawk player don’t know what blocking is,so hitconfirm only when we are sure about the combo. His n.jumps are fukiage-oriented,when he get 300+dmg they start stop jumping at bad range. After a safe jump,we can jump back+HP,if he try a grab he get the hit,if they doing the reversal we gonna trade (much better than the grab for us).
I think you are underestimating him.
f.MP decreases the distance between you and him and sHK is slow, if you overuse them, he can easily saving dash forward, SPD. He can afford this, he has a lot of life. Every decent THawk knows his condor dives are punishable by every char. cMP has a bad startup, if you dont cancel it with a hayate, it’s also a good spot to do a saving dash forward SPD. THawk has a SRK, it’s now very smart to jump on him. Neutral jump also beats our karakusa, do you think people will jump like fools over makoto when she shows her fukiage power ?

Lior is doing well in this tournament. Next fight is versus Cuongster.
Edit: he lost to Cuongster’s cammy. He won versus luffy and 2 other guys before that though.
Against T-Hawk you can’t sit and wait. Against the Condor Spire I use f.mp a lot,we don’t need GDLK reaction to do it. We can use st.HK and yes,he can use saving attack,but only if the st.HK come out to early…From the right distance he can’t FA that. His dash is slow,we have time to nj after a FA against our c.mp. We can cancel it in Hayate or HC too. The Tomahawk are not invincible(only EX) and we can safe jump this reversal. We can forget karakusa in this match,too risky. A good T-Hawk knows our fuki-power so he gonna jump neutral from far distance,kara fuki (or ex fuki) can stop this. Need patience in this match.

Also there is this (new?) technology :
Backthrow, dash, fMP, tsurugi MK
if the opponent blocks low, it will hit crossup.

I met a good makoto on PC yesterday. He knows his stuff, i got bodied with my random Ryu.
I missed a lot this Saturday at Paris Full contact. So many IAT dropped, Many setups dropped
You did well. Tournament pressure is something you cant practice. You seemed in a hurry to end up the fight vs Luffy, I was afraid you’d loose because of that. Also Cuongster played very well. Your Sakura counterpick seemed a little bit desperate. Even if Cammy is a bad matchup for Makoto, i think you’d have done better by sticking with her.
Really well done Lior, it’s good to see such a technical Makoto.
Dat crossup Tsurugi
Tick karukusa OS Tsurugi vs reversal EX Seismo.
Video description:
About the first setup: I used MK there but it might be better using LK as it gives a smaller window for grabing out of the Karakusa after the St LP. Does not catch C Viper’s backdash.
About the second: the timing is strict, the st LP must hit at its last frame for you to backdash out of HP TK so that she can’t FADC.
