Makoto Video Thread/Match Critiques

Haven’t seen Meu in a while

Decent first match from Toma against Kazunoko here. Also featuring the first Ex Fuki > jHP mixups caught on stream from a Japanese Makoto ? =P

I feel like posting up a vid for once.
Shadowloo Showdown V happened this weekend, my first match of the day was against Rico.
My very first match, I didn’t get any casuals or warm up games in before hand. I was on front/registration desk the whole weekend. :stuck_out_tongue:

Pretty good match, really came down to him getting off a lot of TT from good reads and you missing a few punishes. Maybe should have tried more axekick in your pressure.

That match up is pure crazyness tho, like Ryan and Latif said after the end, no safety.

Super important, i had this experience several times playing with and without warmup on tournaments.

Your links dont feel crisp if u dont warmup and your mind hasn’t set in the fact that you need to be ready to punish every little whiff. It all comes down to warming up your brain and getting your mind readiness up beforehand

Remeber when we had to do crazy shit like this:

Back when I first picked up Makoto this was the stuff that kept me going. My comment is even on it from 2010 :smiley:

^i was like "why didn’t he LP Fuki in the corner

AND THEN I REMEMBERED THE DARK TIMES

Vryu highlighted the FT7 against Cuongster

So everyone can see even the best of us can’t really deal with Yun. :stuck_out_tongue:

so many ex up kicks, it’s like he always has bar. also, who at Capcom thought that yun had problems getting in and therefore proceeded to make him + on block after ex dash punch?

If we did only 10 matches, i would had lost 6-4.
That’s exactly the score we give in yun-makoto matchup :smiley:

hey guys here are a few games me and a friend played last week(planning on having something every week to get ready for canada cup). whole set of 10 is on the channel.



That was some good fights. You use a lot of Yamase as a zoning tool. I find it quite dangerous for her.

not that these tools make yun - makoto any better than 6 - 4

but…

if Yun neutral jumps from half screen away…
kara-ex fuki will tag him, I’ve seen v-ryu do it before but I didn’t see it in that set.

if Yun does normal xx shoulder…
Focus the shoulder xx dash, f.lp xx ex fuki will punish (2 frame punish)
EDIT saw one towards the end of the set

fukikusa is a good read when Makoto is cornered with meter as most yuns will want to neutral jump or wait for Makoto’s wake up options

Hey citi I feel your pain, we have a few other poisons here in Detroit too. From what I saw for the most part you do fine I would say you just need to maximize your damage and stun against her. There were times when you had 2 bars for a fuki combo or reset and did FP into hayate instead.

Wolfkrone plays me a lot so he has the match up experience. Also poisons jump ins are good like vega but you have to anti air her either fuki or focus, her pressure up close is too good to allow her in on a jump in. She only has 950 stun so one fuki mixup into combo will stun her. Don’t be afraid of her dp she can’t convert it into big damage like some other characters so she mostly has to backdash to get out of pressure so keep that in mind.

Lastly her flip kick is super good at -1 on block so it’s not worth it trying to punish or even focus backdash. My advice in that situation is late crouch tech with cr mk it stops her from dashing forward doing dp or even another flip kick. All in all good stuff, Krone is a really smart player.

Are you shk Antics?

Yea what’s good?

I seen some of your matches when you went to Mitten Mashers I’m from Michigan too your really good.

Did anyone see the EX Fukiage > U2 video on the main page? I was like yeah…and?

>no 2 viper on xbl
>gets hit by three straight meaty hp Oroshis because he absolutely refuses to block on wakeup

This actually makes me furious.

Bwahahaha, that focus fake into jab into choke reset was deliciously evil.
