new makoto gameplay…

Can’t wait to play her.

I just saw that, I can’t wait either, you see her damage output for a standard ground combo? almost 2000, I can imagine how CTNoel she could be if she takes to the air. Also what do you think that first move she used was? Drive attack? Hadoken? It looks like it travels as fast as a Spark Bolt but its startup is dicks. Heres hoping she has a DP… who am I kidding? no character I use has a DP, not even Sakura, and she’s a shotoclone.

She has a DP. Been shown in screenshots.

a DP as a reversal or a DP as an anti air? She definitley has one, also sakura does too

no I mean reversal, the kind that gets you out of pressure easy, but hands them your ass on a silver platter if they block or you whiff. Sakura doesn’t have that, hell her DPs barely function as anti-airs. the jumper has to be a certain distance away. But we’re not here to talk SF so lets stop while we’re ahead (Yeah I know I started it, so I’m trying to end it lol)

It’s actually really hard to judge damage in that video because she keeps dropping combos and the Bang doesn’t block a damn thing, so you’ll see the combo-counter go to 4, then back to 2 and up to 6 before the health bar resets the red trail. So it looks like one combo unless you watch the counter really closely.

nah, I was looking at the damage numbers under the hit counter, she almost gets to 2000 quite a few times, and the combos looked like they started with 5A(I’m assuming its 5A because its the fastest move she’s doing), which always scales damage to almost non-existence, without heat or going to the air Ragna’s combos off of 5B only get a small amount more than 2000 damage, and throwing in 5A cuts that big time, at least in CT anyway. I’m expecting Makoto to be able to do some damage, maybe not Noel Haida loop damage, but still a bruiser.

Edit: Although I did just realize something I don;t like about her as far as fighting AGAINST her goes, her falling animation is like Litchi’s and Tao’s, which is gonna make it annoying as hell to go for a Haida loop.

Hoping for a color editor this time, but I am sure we will be let down again, in lieu of paying for DLC colors that may/may not be so great (but we gotta have them anyways, right? lol) ANyways, looking forward to this, and looking forward to gaming with you guys.

I don’t know if you’ve played CS yet, buts falling animation messing with haida’s isn’t a concern for Noel really.

any gameplay/pics of the other two DLC chars?

Thats awesome, I did notice in the Red Beat video she has no problems hitting the haida loop on most characters, even Carl.

New Mak trailer from Zen United

Sucks this game is still 2 weeks away, but I can’t wait to get my hands on Hazama. I’m gonna juggle between him and Ragna till I land on a main between the two based off of which I can play easier/better. Both are awesome characters so it’s a win win situation for me. :smiley:

Can anybody land some decent Red Beat combos with her? I get that she’s new and you can tell these guys are trying their hardest, but I wanna see some crazy shit. The coolest thing she has going is that little 2400 combo that I believe was 9 hits somewhere in the middle of that video.

Don’t know if it has been mentioned before but how much for the new characters?

As far as I know, the three DLC characters will be $7/560MSP a piece. Nu is also available as Lambda’s unlimited version, which you can pay 50 cents for if you don’t want to bother unlocking it normally.

I agree completely

but hey, if people cant see it, they deserve to get ganked

It’ll have been over a month since that actual release, I don’t see the problem.

DLC allows Aksys & ArcSys to make money on resales that would otherwise hurt them. We’re still not going to be paying full price for the game, even with DLC it will come to $55… It’s win/win, the way I see it.

Closer to $44 for me as I only want Makoto unless they bring out another new character that isn’t a bot. :sweat: It’s still a little annoying for dlc though and I read some where that companies are considering selling incomplete games which wouldn’t be bad unless they’re the same price as they are now.

I’m just going to buy it, because I enjoy the game and don’t mind supporting the developer in trade for more content.

It’s not really a big deal.
