The only characters you see in tournaments often that she beats decisively IMO are Seth and Sim. Especially Sim. She probably won that match in Super even. The only other tourney character I can think of that she might have a decisive edge over is Abel, but that’s based mostly on what I’ve heard good Abels say. I think that match is one of those where whoever gets the first knockdown wins. I think she beats Guile too as-is, but I’m not too sure that’s a popular opinion.
I think she goes even with most of the rest of the cast, with obvious exceptions. She probably gets beaten by the twins pretty bad, but moreso by Fei. She might do a bit better against him after the patch, but he’ll probably still give her problems because Fei/Mak is probably a 7-3 as-is. Makoto really needs to have a presence in mid range to do well, and Fei controls that space so well that it’s tough for her to really get much going.
lolwut more nerf on Makoto’s EX Karakusa range? That thing already has so little range it looks like Makoto is grabbing with her nose, how can you nerf that? Make the hitbox come out from her back or something?
Woah it was only .84 before. I gotta say it never felt that way. I can kinda agree with the nerf anyway since its just there to reduce grabbing people out of pokes which was kinda a strange thing anyway. I really hope the life thing doesn’t stick tho, you were looking so progressive there for a moment Capcom ;_; only together can we break the glass ceiling!
That is easily one of the best normals in the game, right up there with Yun’s S.MP. But The move is SO central to everything she does that nerfing it would literally nerf her entire game. So it is tough to say that they would nerf it, or if they did than it would be a very small one.
i mostly use guile and abel, but i dabble with viper, dudley, cody, chun, ibuki and yang.
Of those, the ones that are the most FUN to play as are in this order:
abel, viper, guile, ibuki, yang, dudley, cody, chun
sometimes just being fun isn’t enough though, sometimes i want to win. and when i want to win, i win most often with guile and abel, everyone else i’m about equal with, except ibuki and chun. i have a harder time winning with those two.
I play Vega, Bison and Sagat. I’m competent with Vega and Bison, but my Sagat is absolute garbage. Still, I actually tend to have more fun with Sagat. On the rare occasion that I actually manage to play well with him, it just feels much more rewarding than winning with Vega/Bison. I’m not quite sure why.
gouken needs nerfing, hes so broken, we call em brouken.
his hados need to be nerfed to 20 damage, 35 charged. (angled hadukens?! wtf so broken)
his tatsu is to strong, add more recovery on hit so i can get up and punish him after.
his counter thing needs to be removed or make it 50/50 so the damage he gives out is the same damage he gets hit with, no focus attack damage that recovers.
his demon flip needs to have more start up, its way to fast.
his sweep is godlike, needs to be nerfed to 10 frames start up
health down to 850 stun 850
