Arcade Edition: What Changed?

-EX Hayate > lp Fukiage in the corner confirmed on Blanka
-FA lvl 2/3 > Fukiage works on everyone (probably)
-s.LK whiff kara cancel Karakusa
-cr.LK xx EX Hayate now possible


Notes:
-If a listed special has (ex) after it, this denotes that both normal and ex versions of that special work in the combo in question.
-Damage numbers listed in RED. Stun numbers listed in BLUE
-Combos that have a ***** in front of them are your standard go-to universal BnB combos
-Make sure to drop by izanagisama’s Kara thread for much more detailed listing and analysis of Makoto’s numerousl kara cancel options. GO!: Kara Compendium: Info/Videos of Various Kara Cancels and other Assorted Techniques

Misc important factoids about SSFIV Makoto:
Stamina/stun - 950/1050
Kara normal throw: :r::lk:~:lp:
Kara back throw: :l:+:lk:~:lp:

*f.HK feint crosses up a downed opponent (hold kick)

Movelist
Hayate - :qcf::p: – EX version knocks down on hit. Hold punch to charge, press kick to cancel charge.
kara EX Hayate - :qcf:+:lk:~:2p:
Hayate cancel - :qcf::p:+:k:. Pressing punch and kick simultaneously works.
Alternate input: :qcf: :k: (hold) ~ :lp: (hold) to cancel on first possible frame.
kara Hayate cancel - Move forward: :qcf:(:lk::mp:) Hold. Move backward: :qcf:(:hk::mp:) Hold

Fukiage - :dp::p: – jump cancellable. LP version is stationary. MP/HP/EX advance forward a short distance.

Oroshi (armor breaker) - :qcb::p: – invulnerability frames on EX version
kara cancel: :qcb::r:+:lk:~:p:

Tsurugi - (in air) :qcb::k: – Normal versions hit mid. HK version knocks down. EX version hits overhead and knocks down, 2 hits.

Karakusa (40/80, ex=(60/120)) - :hcb::k: – 1 hit of armor on EX version. LK = short range, fast startup. HK= longer range, slower startup
Kara cancel. Note that this is not easy:
-:r:+:lk::df::qcb:+:k:
alternate slightly less challenging inputs: :r::df::r:+:lk::l:+:k: -or-
:r:+:lk: :db: :l:+:k: -or-
:r: :d: :df: :r:+:lk: :l:+:k:
[media=youtube]KzDz5RBUimw[/media]
Maximum range: [media=youtube]574-PSqSrSE[/media]

Super - Tanden Renki - :qcf::qcf::p:
Ultra 1 (480) - Seichusen Godanzuki - :qcf::qcf::3p:
Ultra 2 (390) - Abare Tosanamikudaki - :qcf::qcf::3k:
range is selectable: After inputting the initial qcf*2 + 3K, press and hold one of the kick buttons to determine range. LK = short, MK = medium, HK = long. This input has to be done between the time the ultra is initiated and the moment Makoto hits the wall. Meaning you can’t really wait for the wall flash, assess the situation and then pick a distance, unfortunately.

Applications for Oroshi FADC by TGS:

lvl 2/3 Focus attack - combos and explanations by scythe master:
FA2 > MK tsurugi > s.HP xx HP hayate (282/474)
so far this is the optimal damage and stun for small characters
FA2 > Karakusa > s.HP xx hayate cancel > s.MP xx MP hayate (254/474)
less damage and same stun, IAtsurugi might be hard for some people to do, though the link is just as hard >.>
FA2 > MK tsurugi > s.HP xx hayate cancel > s.MP xx MP hayate (302/522)
big characters only (tested on zangief and hakan)
FA2 > delay Tsurugi > Fukiage > EX tsurugi (326/506)
corner only
FA2 > s.HP xx hayate cancel > s.MP xx EX hayate > LP fukiage > EX tsurugi (360/638)
corner only, character specific (tested on cammy, probably works on hawk)…
FA2 > HP hayate(slight charge) > Fukiage > EX tsurugi (346/502)
same conditions as above, 1 less stock, minimal damage decrease, lot less stun
FA2 > LP/MP Oroshi > s.MP xx EX hayate > LP fukiage > EX tsurugi (376/638)
same as above, highest damage I could get so far
FA2 > LP/MP Oroshi > s.MP xx MP hayate (262/452)
FA2 > Ultra1 (418/150)
FA2 > MK tsurugi > Ultra1 (448/262)
FA2 > s.HP xx HP hayate xx Super xx Ultra1 (525/394)
any combination of super->ultra I found did 525 with different stun values

Midscreen focus juggles: FA2 > one step forward, MK tsurugi (varying height) > LP fukiage > EX tsurugi
works because the tsurugi crosses up, only tested it on ryu and hakan so far, but that should be good enough
on hakan you do it with a slight delay
on ryu, you do it quick

FA2 > dash*2 > HP fukiage > kara HP fukiage > EX tsurugi (326/522) (works on:
guile, honda, makodo, abel, el fuerte, dictator, sagat, gouki, deejay, t.hawk, cody, sakura) – v-ryu

FA2 > slight delay FA1 > dash forward (you will cross under) > LP Fukiage (you have dashed under so do the motion accordingly) > EX Tsurugi (when near the corner) or EX Hayate. – highlulu

Super
LP/MP Oroshi xx Super xx Ultra 1 (575/200)
MP Oroshi xx Super xx s.HP xx HP Hayate (311/496)
s.HP xx Super xx Ultra 1
NOTE: Super is cancellable off hayate and any non-juggle combo ending with hayate.
s.HP xx HP hayate xx Super xx s.HP xx HP hayate (367/564)
*****… xx hayate xx Super, s.HP xx HP hayate
eg, j.HP > s.HP xx HP Hayate xx Super > s.HP xx HP Hayate (421/760)
*****… xx hayate xx Super xx Ultra 1

Ultra 1:
j.MK/j.HK > Ultra 1
meaty cr.LK > Ultra 1 (aka the v-ryu special… because i said so)
meaty MP Oroshi > Ultra 1
meaty s.MP > Ultra 1
counterhit st.MP > Ultra I (st.mp must be spaced)
*****Karakusa > Ultra 1 (424/80)
IA LK/MK Tsurugi > Ultra 1 (484)
IA LK/MK Tsurugi > s.HP xx HP Hayate xx Super xx Ultra 1 (625)
lvl 2 FA > Ultra 1
s.HP xx Super xx Ultra 1
*****… xx Hayate xx Super xx Ultra 1

Ultra 2:
(ex) Fukiage > Ultra 2 > EX Tsurugi- This is looking very finicky and character specific. Needs testing.
Fukiage FADC Ultra 2 > followup
lvl 2 FA > Ultra 2 > followup
Fukiage xx Super > Ultra 2 (312) (no post U2 juggles? needs testing…)
followups:

Here’s a jpg chart featuring izanagisama’s chart above as well as FFSS, s.MP*3, and Focus attack to fukiage related combos compiled by theDuke, Baseballfan1456 and v-ryu:


Lead Charge Hayate combos from TGS:

**- exact frame data re: hayate charge times can be found in the Makoto section of the SRK wiki. I’ll leave TGS’ explanation up as well just to keep the numbers in his combos consistent. Note that EX hayate behaves slightly differently to level 4/5 hayate (launches higher) contrary to explanation below, keep that in mind:

s.MP > s.MP > s.MP specifics from Baseballfan1456 - work in progress

While I’m not totally opposed to the name of this thread, would you be willing to change it if there was some type of general consensus on something else? I remember some others came up with some great names a few weeks back…

why the hell is everyone concerned with what people name the threads…it’s to the point, appropriate, and lets people know what the thread’s about
on topic

I thought target combo was forward+light->medium?

edit: didn’t some one mention there was enough time to EX hayate after fukiage->tsurugi or maybe it was just air to air tsurugi?

s.lk xx s.mk was a chain in 3s and i’m pretty sure it’s the same in super. forward + lk is a command normal step kick.

haha, that was me. Just a theory based on the Wong video. It looks like it might be possible if EX hayate is fast enough. Speaking of theory combos, i’d be happy to list them out in the second post sort of as a checklist for things to test on release. Post 'em here and i’ll add them.

As for the thread title name, no worries. If you guys want to change it to something else I’m all ears. :smile:

Do we have any idea how much damage her moves do? (stun-wise I mean)

I personally did not want to change it btw… I just know some others had ideas… though they might have jumped on some other bandwagon by now lol.

Its not important though.

Her all her HP moves do hella stun, including/especially the command HP. This was the same in 3s.

We know she does good stun, but no hard data. Check out the Makoto vs. Cody video in the video thread. That explains alot.

“Nothing beats Rindokan Karate!” The Makoto movelist/combo thread?

or we can keep it simple so that all of the new people coming into makoto will know exactly where to look “Combo and Movelist” and “Strategy corner” (keeping a separate thread so that each thread is easy to get right into and there’s not 300 pages to wade through for strats or combos. Don’t even need the “Makoto” part, people already know they’re in the makoto forum, they probably don’t need another reminder… or we could lump it into “Combos and Setups/Resets” since resets and set-ups are really just non-guaranteed combos that trade a little bit of risk for possibility of more damage or a stun with less damage reduction. Could even keep a separate “Move-list/Move Properties” thread completely separate as once you know all the properties you shouldn’t need to really look at that anymore, unless some one adds a new bit of information, which you will be informed of by the thread now being in bold

all in all there could be 4 separate threads
Video thread
Combos and Set-ups
Strategy Corner
Move-list and properties

unless we’d like to make a new thread for every different match-up (which will probably happen anyway with new people coming in and just making a new thread every time they have a problem with whomever)
Regardless, all of this talk about renaming the thread is just cluttering things up…I’d like to see everything shape up like the other thread, almost everyone is on topic there and there’s all sorts of really nice discussion going on

back ON the topic of possible/speculation combos
speculation combos
post EX hayate…can she still cr.RH or dash punch after? haven’t seen anything for/against
hayate->super->f.FP will the stun be worth it if it IS possible
on that same note, hayate->FADC->f.FP or anything really
hayate->super->fukiage?
Fierce->hayate feint->???

speculation resets
if f.RH leaves positive on block and line up properly I’d like to see something along hayate->super->f.RH…the theory is that they’d come out of stun right before the kick connects, leaving them needing to block low of course that would leave several options
f.RH
f.RH feint-> kara
f.RH feint->tsurugi
dash, cr.lk->hayate
dash, tsurugi
dash, kara
delayed hayate (or FP hayate if it’s slow enough)
walk up grab/kara
block
oroshi
and even MORE if f.RH is positive on block

setups that trick people into karakusa are in all honesty are going to be a more important discussion than combos. her best combo with no meter will still probably be s.fp -> fierce hayate, and since karakusa leads to this anyways i think we should have a thread that just talks about tricky ways to land that grab. like, are there different ways to reset people in the air that lead to ambiguous dash under games where we can be on either side? what are her best tick setups? will blocked hayate FADC karakusa be a worthwhile risk against good players? can she still reset people in the corner after ex hayate with forward+lk? it’s definitely going to be fun just putting our heads together and figuring it all out.

I’ll keep this one as a more basic quick reference movelist and bnb combos listing.
**
-Ladon-** Excellent choice. Done!

scythe master- spec. combos added. Thanks for starting up the mixup thread.

When the strategy thread IS made is it possible that all the “valuable” information is kept on the Original Post, so you don’t have to practically search through it all to find ONE answer. That will help with that problem and everyone won’t ask the same question a million times -_-

Whoever makes the strategy/ match up thread should take a look at the Ken match up thread. Though it didn’t flesh out as well as we would have hoped, it does have a nice template. Basically, Dr. Chaos made spots for each of the characters in spoiler tags. Then, he and another good Ken player would fill each one with match up info. It was right at the beginning of the thread, so you didn’t have to search for info. If anyone has anything to add to a specific match up, the person who created the thread can go in and update each of the match ups.

Yea that’s what I meant -_-. . .I can’t remember 100% but I helped with either the Viper or Chun thread and went thru all the pages then PM’d the OP rofl.

Naturally a matchup thread shouldn’t be made until the game is out, but even then I would be cautious. I notice a lot of character forums develop outdated first posts because the creator stopped updating it for various reasons, and then it sits like that or someone has to make a new one.

It’s understandable, because no one always gets what they expect out of a character/game and if someone doesn’t play the character anymore you can’t expect them to keep the thread updated.

I think it would be wise to wait perhaps a few weeks to a month or so before creating a consolidated matchup thread, so that people can get accustomed to the character, and learn what works and what doesn’t against all 35 characters. In the meantime I’d suggest making a temporary strategy/advice thread for the first few weeks of the game for people to discuss matchups, then when enough solid info is developed a new thread can be started. That also helps the common problem of early posts in the thread (after the first post) being vague due to coming right at the start of release, which often deters people from reading anything in the matchup thread besides the first post.

Well I for one won’t be using anyone but that character bad match up or not. Just I’m “forgetful” so updating it might be a problem for me. But your idea is pretty much spot on but SOMEONE is going to make the thread regardless probably within the first few days hehe

I did the same thing for the Ken thread, NinjaCW. :stuck_out_tongue: Then it all got scrapped anyway. At least they were halfway decent write ups for my use.

I don’t think we need to wait for a match up thread. Actually, I think as soon as match up specific stuff comes out (like things that are free karakusa grabs), it should be posted there. I understand the outdated info crap, but that’s only a problem if the person who created the thread doesn’t update it much…

Maybe we’ll have a dedicated person?

oops. Guess I jumped the gun there, huh?

ultra 2 follow ups that ive already seen from current vids are.
U2 >fukiage > EX Tsurugi
U2 > Tsurugi >EX Hayate
if tsurugi is anything like 3s then i would guess that tsurugi would have to be at most a Mk tsurugi due to RH knocking them down rather than tossing them into a juggle state.
