Ok heres 2 of mine:

Opponents weren’t necessarily top players, but i think they were playing their mains so at least kinda knew what they were doing i guess, seemed pretty solid. Anyways it at least shows how i’ve been playing her. Few mistakes as usual but im human forgive me!

That’s how I pretty much play her for the most part Candeisis but I’m still working on some mind games.

The biggest problem I’ve been having is having to respect EVERYONE because they have all of these get off me moves or just straight up escape tatics.

Might as well share my Mak videos so far.My weakest matchups so far are dealing with competent Guiles and shotos.I don’t seem to fight them enough whenever I go online and for some reason have been getting A LOT of Claws in ranked battles in general(surprise!).I also need to get more confident in going to kara-karas since most of the time when I do go for it I mess up and eat big damage and need to work on getting my IA Tsu’s to come out more often instead of getting a jumping kick.

I unfortunately dont have anyway real way to record my games for critiquing, But I would like some one to view some of my matches online, My gamertag is Katazombie

Hey guys I’m looking for a “really” good/skillful Makoto player to spar with. If anyone is interested and have a XBL account my GT is Boriqua Kyaku

I keep hearing about how good Makoto was in 3s but haven’t got the chance to spar against her but only 2 times. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience…

Just thought I would toss in some of my Makoto matches here. I’ve been using her for a less than a week and it shows in my infrequent winning (I’m at 60% with Mak vs over 80% with Fuerte).

[media=youtube]seMhCmjw2mI[/media] (vs Ryu)
[media=youtube]1tWtmL8cyvQ[/media] (vs Abel)

Not great competition but I am building her up one match at a time.

damn, ur makoto is sick, even if some of the people you played werent amazing it’s still pretty hard to keep the pressure up (atleast for me at the moment) especially against guiles, great stuff. Learnt a lot , i’m still piecing her together and watching ur vid made me realise i never use f.mp, is it safe after s.mp and vise versa?

f+mp is pretty safe on block and on hit you can go into a c.lp into lp hayate

hey since you have a decent Makoto…hit me up on XBl to test my Akuma vs a Makoto player…

It is safe, but most time you wouldnt wanna do that bc most of the cast have 3 frame jab/shorts they can use to beat her fastest move which is 4 frames.

A couple new uploads. Ive went from 5500 BP to around 3400 in the past week. Must mean im getting closer to figuring her out lol.

I know I still got a ways to go, but I think I starting to get her down considering everyone I’m working with.

Love your matches. Seem very textbook. I’ll have to try the anti-air c.mk to dash under =)

Very nice Makoto. I picked up a few things from your video that I haven’t seen or done yet so thanks for the informative video.

Okay I have been playing with Makoto with nothing to show for it aka (sucking at her big time), so I was just wondering, where should I begin. I love playing as her but I would also like to win consistently

Any videos utilizing Kara-Karakusa? Now that I got the hang of doing them, I want to be able to apply them in battle. Are there any other instances besides post Hayate that one should attempt them?

yes.

  • Guarded tsurugi
  • after a f+HK (hold) crossup
  • etc.

Just think, and you will find some ways :wink:

btw, 2 videos of me vs Luffy (best european rose (better than Saqs’s rose too, IMHO)).
(dont know who posted them).

still need practice. I’m having trouble against strong players who use their character since day one of sf4 vanilla :frowning:
But I keep hope :smiley:

Ah, good stuff! Yeah, those makes sense. I’ll keep thinking of more. Thanks!

And great videos! (Interesting music though, heh)
