A quality win against a PSN ~13000 BP Sim.
Lol’d at the full screen sweep.
4 matches I recorded with my camera. Comments, questions, critiques, whatever. I need to start improving more.
(Mind your volume)
[media=youtube]T7CKBFONdaY[/media] vs Ryu
[media=youtube]LnDXD7tn8F4[/media] vs Chun
[media=youtube]OpKaAFFjGzo[/media] vs Guile
[media=youtube]U8cDTyKC3so[/media] vs another Ryu
Also, if someone can direct me to a decent .mov to .avi converter, that’d help me out on my next batch. My camera saves video as a .mov, so I need a decent way to convert to avi so I can turn them into HD so youtube doesn’t kill the quality next time.

My first time against a dudley. Very basic gameplay. Any help appreciate. Thx
I know , one of my anti-air is strange i just dash forward.
Few notes:
-Keep more pressure. You played a huge hit and run game with him. Dudley isn’t someone with a good wake up game. Space yourself out of Jet upper range, upon wake up, use s.MP or f.MP to poke or close distance. Safe jump or IA Tsurugi cross up trick works well here also.
-Use s.MP a lot more. Not particularly against Dudley’s j.HK, just in general.
-Pick U1 for Dudley. This Dudley specifically seemed to like Jet Uppers, which are free Karakusa or other easy punishes. Your U2 usage was rather random for the first two attempts, but I applaud the use of catching him on a jump with the 3rd use.
-Don’t use FA so much against Dudley. Although you can Absorb the first first of Machine gun and then back dash, it’s pretty unsafe against him in a lot of situations. But it’s up to you. Just make sure you cancel it fast enough if you’re trying to bait something. Don’t ever think you’ll land a Level 3 FA just randomly.
-When Dudley does a normal Machine gun at you, use c.LK > lp Hayate. You’ll either continue blocking his next string or you’ll get a free combo against him for his carelessness.
Overall, decent job for your first time against him. Throw some IA Tsurugi in there from time to time and just keep pressure and you’ll see good results.
FlashM in some Casuals
For anyone looking for some more high level Makoto playing, last night there were casuals on OptionSelect and FlashMetroid was rockin Makoto. Go to about 1:34:40 and you can see him start whoopin ass. Not great quality but you at least know what’s going on.

This makes me excited for the future of Makoto. Good Stuff FlashM.
Now time for practice
More like 1:34:30 you’ll see FlashMetroid
Haha yeah, I accidently rewinded to a random Makoto. You beat me to the edit. 
After watching FlashMetroid play, I feel like MP -> HC -> follow up, is really what makes Makoto dangerous. I’m thinking i’d rather get that down perfect than kara-kara. The timing for holding down LP+LK is still very awkward for me.
FlashM kicks ASS. How does he keep the pressure going without getting hit with random shit? When I try, I get hit with counter hits or reversals. Those Hayate cancels are risky aren’t they? Crazy mind games.
wow watching vids liek that makes me think those guys who wrote the tier list is on crack, im glad I picked up Makoto along with my chun.
Damn rly nice, subscribed! Pretty sweet pressure all around. Does ultra 2 really pay off? I’ve been using Seichuzen mostly even for FB characters :\
Some matches, some help/tips would be appreciated^^

viper matchup seems pretty tough:\ any advice?
Yeah, U2 against fireballers (except Guile and maybe Chun) is mandatory imho. Even if they don’t give you an opportunity to use it, it makes it harder for them to zone you because the threat of that U2 takes away one of their tools. I also use U2 against Bison, Claw, Hakan, and Ibuki, but mostly as a gimmick atm to punish certain things they might not know is punishable.
Anyway, good stuff overall. And Viper was my main in vanilla so I might be able to give some insight there.
I think the big reason you lost is simply because he’s really good with Viper. Otherwise, just looks like you’re not familiar with the match. You can punish her dp pretty hard on block with a fukiage juggle. Also, learn to recognize when they’re gonna try and wakeup with ex seismo. If you guess right, you can neutral jump into a combo. That comes with a risk though, because if they don’t do ex seismo, they can dp you into big damage if they have ultra. You can also do a delayed karakusa on wakeup to grab them out of ex seismo since their invincibility frames run out before the seismo comes out. You can also just spam crouching jabs on wakeup to beat ex seismo.
That Viper (like me) seems to be stuck in vanilla mode because he did blocked lk burning kick -> st.mp. In vanilla, that was a frame trap. But Viper doesn’t have as much frame advantage off of a blocked burning kick anymore, so if they try that, they can be grabbed/jabbed pretty easily. When I try that with Viper these days, it tends to get me in trouble more often than not.
Holy shit, that Makoto was a beast. The match with the T. Hawk player had to be the most entertaining though. Never thought I’d see a match where he was actually trying to get away from Mak lol.
OMG!! That is rediculous. I suck sooooo bad withMakoto and that just makes me feel even worse. But…it does give me a reason to practice.
@LostFragment: Wouldn’t say I was really good, far from it lol.
And yeah, I forgot st.mp isn’t viable after a blocked light BK anymore, I should have known better. 
Thanks for reminding me. Wasn’t defending very well, and kept neutral jumping a lot, I will need to work on this match-up.
Sorry for being slightly off-topic. And I may pick up Makoto myself haha.
Uploaded 7 new vids.Definitely nowhere near the FlashM quality

Makoto may not win a ton of matchups but she doesn’t really need to. Bitch guesses right and your execution is tight…she wins. Watching Flash and Ninja has me hype for the future of Makoto. Glad there’s so many fun diverse non world warrior style characters in this one.
Thanks man, I appreciate the help yall given me out there. Driving 2 hours when I could go 2 and out! Oh well, I was gonna post these matches myself but you beat me to it. There is one more too
