SSF4 Makoto Thread: Return of the Mak!

If they take her moveset and translate it, and make it suited for the slightly less technical SFIV compared to Third Strike, she’s going to be pretty beastly.

It looks like they’ve taken her first and second Super Arts from the game. Which is essentially one that doesn’t combo (Her first one, the several punches) but probably has good priority. (The evidence this for this one is her stance when the screen goes into Ultra mode + the camera location in one of her pages)

The other looks like how Adon would punish fireballs, ultimately removing the need to properly use each button and simplifying the input recognition, and she’s going to be punishing fireballs with her second Ultra easier then fucking Abel. (This ones obvious.)

I think she’s going to be interesting without a doubt my favorite from 3rd strike, but based on the blog comments by Keno he seems to be hyped about some of the newest characters and I got a feeling she’s one of them.

Makoto IS going to be very, very, very good. Don’t any of you guys worry.

Gawd, although I love Makoto’s move set, one thing that I really like about her is her animation. I hope they keep her facial expressions in this game. I like seeing her loud mouth and teeth, but it was to be the same style used in 3s.
Here’s a good example http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/uncyclopedia/images/8/8a/Makoto_dance.gif
Facial expressions are godlike.

Since it’s coming from you, I have to say :3

sf4 completely missed the mark when it came to faces so i wouldn’t get my hopes up

i am excited though - i wonder if they’ll give her scarf a special animation or if its just a lifeless piece of cloth

how good is her ex-hayate?

So is there someone who’s had some hands on time with Makoto around here? Can you still juggle after the SA2 ultra? Does she have super-jump cancels? Can you still cancel her hayate?

Makoto’s face looks fat compared to 3rd Strike. She doesn’t look attractive anymore.

i would be so happy if ex hayate can go through fireballs :slight_smile:

Well we’ll have to wait for some better shots to be sure of it, that one pic isn’t very good I don’t think. I think its the scarf and the baggy clothes that give it that effect.

They’ve done a good job with moving cloth so far- see C. Viper’s alt costume cape.

I can’t wait to see how bad her English voice is going to be.

Yes!!! Can’t wait to choke Sagat!

One blurry off screen pic and now everyone is an expert.

I can see having choke-a-bitch>HP>hayate>FADC>choke-a-bitch mix-ups all day.

:lol: I can feel your frustration.

Even if she’s not high tier, if she can lay the chokedown on Sagat, Ken, and Akuma, I’ll be very, very happy.

…and be 8-2 vs. Rufus. That fat bastard needs to be put in his place.

I will secondary ANY CHARACTER that EIGHT TWOS Rufus. Fuck that fat annoying 13 frame invincible fuck.

Makoto won’t be great against a character designed to abuse those with poor wakeup options.

Real talk.

I now have a very difficult decision. Have Makoto as my Primary and Guy as a secondary or Vice Versa.

Just found out my Biatch is finally confirmed let it be know all hell is going to break loose now. Sagat who? Akuma who? all them cat is getting choked out. First in the Makoto Army right here

Makoto for life. She really needs her crazy fast dash. But since now her SA1 is going to be an ultra, i predict it will combo after an ex hayate in the corner. I also hope they don’t do something stupid with the damage scaling on the choke, like make it count as 2 moves like an ultra.
