The Rindoukan Bible — Printed Makoto Guidebook

Very eager to learn Makoto from this guide. It looks amazing. So hard to find solid info online otherwise. Hopefully we get an update for usf4?

Thanks, kupo! ^-^

I hope we can get an updated version, because it’s awesome.
Either way, same as those before me, just wanted to thank all those involved in the production, it’s been really insightful and instructive, and I still regularly use it to check stuff. Thanks !

Anyone know if the frame date in the guide is still accurate?

LK and MK Tsurugi are now -3 at the lowest point instead of -2. Everything else should be fine.

Nope, LK tsurugi is -5 (was -3 in ae2012)
And MK tsurugi was -1 in ae2012. (Now -3)

How long does a perfect instant lk/mk/hk tsurugi last ?

I’m also interested. Btw, I think (not sure though) that we can get this lowest point tsurugi on the way up (IAT) and on the way down (:qcb: P~K)

What do you mean by “how long”?
Active frames? Hitstun? Or recovery frame after landing?

This is how I understand it:
4f pre-jump, ??f height restriction, 11/13/15 startup, 4 active, ??f going down, 11 recovery at landing.

As it’s a special move, recovery frames replace usual landing frames. So, how many frames are wasted by height restriction/going down ?

Does anything, in regards to frames, change when we do tsurugi late in a forward jump?

Thanks for correcting me, but I could of swore I read that LK and MK Tsurugi were -2. It definitely wasn’t from the Rindoukan Bible as there’s no block frames listed.

Howmany frames do they last ? I want to know the total length in frames of each tsurugi. This may be usefull to create setups.

According to wiki:
LK: 11/4/11
MK: 13/4/11
HK: 15/4/11

Recovery frames are after landing.
And startup frames are after the 4 prejump frames+height restriction.

As someone who recently picked up Makoto, this is the best thing ever. Thank you and this bible is a big help.

Looking forward to an update on this, whenever Blackadde has time. I’ve used the AE guide religiously, but plan on printing up a binder once the new information has been added in.

yo dudes!

thanks for the continued support.

capcom is (probably, hopefully) going to issue at least one major balance patch before the game is done. i really don’t want to go to the effort to update the guide until that’s done.

plus, lots of stuff happening in my life now that demands my attention so i can’t really get to it now anyways.

Thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update! I was about to come ask that.
There’ll probably be a lot to do because of all the ex fukiage set ups.

Hi all! Just had a quick run through this guide and I love it! Is there an ETA on the ultra update or have people dropped Makoto in Ultra?

A pdf file is, by nature, a readonly file. If we have no source file, how could we update the rindoukan bible ?
