Makoto Video Thread/Match Critiques

Nuts:

Great sets, Flash. You’ve made me realize the awesomeness of cr.MP->Hayate buffer. I think I should be whoring that out more.

Has Sakura’s English VA always sounded that annoying? Bottom of the barrel low-tier. ugh

I use s.MP>MP Ororshi>cr.MP>MP Hayate. Works most of the time.
Follow up i use with it…
cr.LK>light Hayate

That’s a pretty bad string. I’d advise picking up a new string.

Lol i know Oroshi is slow.It might sound crazy but i have gotten it on people most of the time.
I think people block until i hit oroshi on them then they try to mash something and i get a cr.MP on them.

Probable should try something else tho

And because it is slow, it can be mashed out of. So mashers will get you every time :/. Try adding more HC into your blockstrings
For example: s.mp>HC>s.lp>s.mp>HC> IA tsurugi/Karakusa/another s.mp… and so on.

Seventyxxtimes7x · 2011-02-03T23:25:09.000Z

Never practice that one, will do.
I not to great with the 1 frame links since im on a controller and plinking isnt much of a option.
But i can do s.MP>HC>Karakusa.
easy stuff

Cheesus · 2011-02-04T17:59:28.000Z

I don’t plink MP>MP but I feel pretty consistent. So your pad shouldn’t hold you back on that.
And you need to be careful not to get predictable with MP xx HC> Karakusa since there’s quite a gap there.

Hitomi · 2011-02-05T03:00:43.000Z

There are so many options for s.MP, s.MP. So many options. Any ()s are a potential mix-up at that point.

j.HP, (HK Karakusa), s.MP (xx HC, EX Karakusa) (xx EX Oroshi to possibly catch a croucher) (xx EX Oroshi or EX Hayate if you hit-confirmed the j.HP) (, IA MK Tsurugi to catch throwers and potentially crouch teching) (, block into a late crouch tech, to catch reversals) (, s.LP as a frame trap), s.MP (xx HC, HK Karakusa) (xx EX Hayate or EX Hayate on hit-confirm) (, c.HP to catch people holding back at this point while being mostly safe) (, f+MP to stay in their face) (, FA level 2 to stay in their face, preferably into A. c.LK xx LP Hayate or B. LK Karakusa. The beauty here is unless you’re fighting Cody or someone where they can reversal while still holding down-back, it is ALWAYS a guess between blocking low or eating a LK Karakusa).

Yes, that paragraph was a mess. The point is, every option can potentially be covered after a s.MP, it just takes the right read and a fair bit of luck. Try not to stick with that string, Seventy, and start hit-confirming with c.LP, s.LP, or plain s.MP. Even if you’re not consistent, keep at it, and most of all, try it with the conviction that you’ll land it. Believe in yourself. I’ve won matches with a 1-frame link that I know I would have lost to an SRK if I had dropped it, but I believed in myself at those times and it paid off.

Seventyxxtimes7x · 2011-02-05T04:04:12.000Z

Such a beautiful speech.

If you do not believe in yourself, believe in Makoto believing in you and all 1 frame links shall be easy.

i just wanted to tell that this user: YouTube - SMOAI2010’s Channel
has uploaded the entire NSB tournament (unfortunately with bad quality) in normal lengths (~10min) so you can check in that channel for quick research. And there is a thread which shows brackets, player lists and all: [ http://shoryuken.com/f315/nsb-online-256024/index2.html ]

BTW, look at 6m07, the increased range of crLK.
marvelous :>

RawFiji · 2011-02-09T15:54:17.000Z

^if i tried that now i’d have been swept on =( lol

also, here as well at around the 1255 time
[media=youtube]xk_2dBit3tc[/media]

FA crumple, strong hayate, fukiage. im loving this fukiage buff even more now. i thought you can only fukiage off hayate(corner) if it was ex or off of a double FA crumple(or char specific).

RawFiji · 2011-02-09T15:54:38.000Z

woops double post. please delete

Hitomi · 2011-02-09T23:09:17.000Z

Any reason you decided to end some of your corner stun combos with LPs into LP Hayate?

And purely out of curiosity, do you do the Fukikusa when you dash up and Karakusa?

Seventyxxtimes7x · 2011-02-10T01:33:32.000Z

A better question. What was this… Justin.tv - seventyxxtimes7x - Flashes Hayate WTF combo.

I do want to know that too.
Trying to go for a reset? Better positioning/mixup after the lp hayate?

s.mp > HC > s.lp > s.mp > HC > cr.lk > HC > cr.mp > HC > kara kara.

Very sexy stuff. Of course not really a good call vs. characters with a DP move, but he’s looking for counter hits/setting up that karakusa against abel.

Seventyxxtimes7x · 2011-02-10T06:48:13.000Z

Got to try it.

kaze_kami · 2011-02-12T02:06:00.000Z
