Nice, I’m going to have to steal that jab -> MP -> Hayate Feint loop, very nice 
@ lost fragment pt2 link says it’s been removed from JTV, I liked what you did in the matches I did see. How effective is that standing jab >mp>HC>jab? obviously it loses to reversals but you got a ton of counter hits because they were pressing buttons Lol.
Great stuff Lost fragment.
mp>HC>jab actually connects I think. I usually abuse it if I know my opponent is mashing jab or trying to jump. Plus it’s great to set up karakusas. Obviously you have to watch out for reversals though.
You are my new hero
After a one month break, I’ve decided to get back to my Mak. Trust me, the comeback is not easy…
This is a recent video of my Mak against a german B+ Ryu : [media=youtube]fwbY2PfJhl0"[/media]. Sorry for the poor video quality.
My execution is pretty bad but I have the motivation to take my Makoto to the next level. Also I really need to improve my okizeme game. I’m very predictable. And I think that I jump too much.
Still works for me. But since that stream goes on 24/7 videos from the archive probably get auto-pruned on a regular basis. I might upload those matches (and the ones from yesterday when I didn’t do quite as well…not sure how to deal with DJ’s short knee pressure) to my YouTube if I don’t get lazy.
As for the jabs after hayate cancels, if I’m gonna stick out another normal after hc, I like jab into mp or whatever since hc mp leaves you at like…-1 or something on block and the jab comes out a bit faster.
Friend of mine played this little mak and thought she was a cool match.

Epic
she so cool
Great match from Mok11bk right here against a Balrog [media=youtube]tsC0YIJ3EJ4[/media]
I did not know you could focus > tsurugi > fukiage… that was awesome. I think it only works in the corner though.
Whats up, I’m a viper looking for a good mak matchup, add me if you can help.
in corner, you must delay your tsurugi or it will not hit airborn opponent.
btw, you can use it midscreen too (tsurugi hits crossup)
Yep it works really well actually =D

wow. I didn’t know you could use a cross up Tsurugi after a FA lvl 2… I was messing around with the FA2 combos you guys were talking about earlier, I liked doing FA2 dash forward wait ex fukiage > ex tsurugi or ex fukiage again if in corner (with 2 ex fukiage it does almost as much stun as FFS>ex oroshi but it is a good amount of meter to burn) and character specific…
but I think FA2>mk tsurugi>fukiage>ex tsurugi is the most damage/stun combo you can do off a lvl 2 focus, but I didn’t think it was that great since you could only do it in the corner…now that I know I can hit it with a cross up midscreen I gotta go practice it!
btw does the FA2 > crossup IAT > Fukiage work on everyone? seems like it would.
I think it does, I’ve only tested it on Ryu and Chun. I was planning on trying it out on Blanka, Adon, Sim and Rose… but I got side tracked by SC2 and 3S… lol
I’ll try it out right now actually.
I’ll edit when I get 'er done.
I was able to cross-up IAT the following so far, I also have video confirmation.
Adon, Blanka, Sakura, Sim, Rose, Balrog and Juri. I’m too lazy to bother with any one else today.
yeah I practiced it a bit in training, It’s a little difficult getting the timing because you have to hold up,forward for a bit longer than normal then quickly complete the IAT motion. highest damage I saw off of it was 326 which is good… also quick training mode question (whats up with the damage fluctuating on combos in training mode? sometimes a combo I do will show 250 damage done then I do it again and it’s less sometimes) or is that just how the game works?
Damage scaling, when the health is below a certain amount it scales by a bit.
Check your damage scaling whenever you start and end a combo.
I think it worked against everybody except guy (for me).
And FAlvl2 > fukiage*2 > EX tsurugi does more dmg/stun 
I wasn’t able to cross-up THawk, Gief =\ I guess I’m timing it wrong, but then again. I didn’t really try too long, I was putting more time into replaying 3s lol.
The cross-up would be awesome though, on the people who you can’t FAlv2>fukiage>…
Found two of V-ryu’s matches on youtube today… hope you don’t mind me posting them V-ryu! lol

punishing that ibuki’s back dash with dash forward karakusa was awesome and it got you the stun… good stuff.
