SSF4: Makoto combos and karakusa setups

[distortedflameingic]

whats british justice

[theboondocks187]

sick combos man just started picking up Makoto doing some offline practice with here.

[KeiTakaro]

Question from a scrub, how did Makoto interlink 2 Focus attacks and then manage to keep him in a fainting-down state?

1:15 LOL AT THE MASHING ULTRA

[farzypan]

i know this is just for show case purposes but why would i waste a full super and scale all my damage for the ultra, if you have the opponent in a karasakura grab, then just ultra straight away

[miguelstarwars]

mmm... I've reading reviews about the Madcatz fightpad and most people complains about it, is it really a good deal for hard gamers?

[OmniproXtheRonin]

@miguelstarwars I like the madcatz pad...BUT ... BE WARNED...I have had 4 total now.

1) the chun li pad ( XBOX) was a hand down from someone else, and the d-pad sticks sometimes ( make sure it is not on RS or LS but on DP * a setting in the back * ) but even with out that it sticks sometimes ... and yes it happened during a damn match. 2) the C. Viper one. (Xbox ) I had and have and presently use this one (see my videos on my page) this one works well for me. 3) the Juri pad wireless for the

[OmniproXtheRonin]

the PS3 did not work when I popped it in from gamestop (NEW) out of the box.

4) the chun li pad ps3 ... this worked right away BUT there is a very annoying battery slot in the back that gets in the way. the wired xbox counterparts are better for my big hands...but if your wanting for the ps3, that battery slot might take some getting used to.

[miguelstarwars]

@OmniproXtheRonin Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can find nearby.

[miguelstarwars]

About time to see a proper makoto combo vid. Thanks dude, but this only makes me realize how far I am of mastering this demanding character.

I think I need a fightpad, PS3 cross just sucks for fighting games, and I've never got used to arcade sticks either. Do you think it would be a good option?

[Love0Me0Hate]

Poor T. Hawk lol

[BloodRedHalo656]

If someone beats you with Makoto, it is obilgatory to send them a message saying,

"Good fight, you play well." or something along those lines....

[TheGe415]

@BloodRedHalo656 no one gotta do shit nigger

[BloodRedHalo656]

@TheGe415

You want something?

Or are you just trying to start something on the internet to compensate for the fact the you have a very small penis?

[TheGe415]

@BloodRedHalo656 Lol my dick is huge just ask your mom faggot. You are my biggest mistake son.

[BloodRedHalo656]

@TheGe415

The fact that you are bragging about it on the internet proves quite contrary my friend.

And for me to be your son you would have to be at least 58 years old, which makes me wonder how you can brag about what ceases to function very well after the age of 50.

Try fucking a girl one day, it feels good.

[styx87]

@TheGe415 ay shut the fuck up cunt

[JumpingBalrog]

LOL look at the Ultra inputs, SSFIV leniency FTW!!!

[swifttiger]

I would imagine you cant pull this off with a ps3 controller

[imreallycool12]

You sir are an idiot if you think that shes not better in ae. Comparing the engine of one game to another is dumb. Oh ok sorry she doesn't have 100% combos. Guess wrong three times the match is over? Imagine if Ken was as strong in ssf4 as he is in third strike? Or yun?

[spitfiremanlizerd]

@imreallycool12 were you talking to me? my point was her playstyle doesn't translate properly to the sf4 game mechanics. This is the case with many characters. ryu, sagat, and chunli etc turned out great. other like Dudley, adon,vega makoto did not. not only this but they simply gave her horrible stats. they have fixed this in the AE. but she's not amazing. this video is from vanilla ssf4.

[spitfiremanlizerd]

ssf4 makoto well we have a great character in sf3 let's make her

slower

do less stun

do less damage

lower karakusa priority

take away essential combos

optimize her in no way to better fit in with ssf4 gameplay

nice crapcom not much better in arcade edition either.

[JumpingBalrog]

@spitfiremanlizerd she's freaking top tier in AE!!

[spitfiremanlizerd]

@JumpingBalrog she was improved alot but it`s being exaggerated as it is with all the characters who even with minor changes are suddenly top tier. being ranked number 8-9 isn`t exactly top tier either . though she`s actually very useable now.

[dreamcastman1890]

@spitfiremanlizerd my thoughts exactly. no one couldnt have said that better.

[gore3241]

some of the combos you did only work on thawk cause he is so tall

[kerry53421]

you are pro with makoto, most people dont like to use her which is why i want to get better with her

[Seighlinde]

they are corner combos, not really useful irl

[darkhokage]

These combos are impressive, but don't seem practical :(

[AngelsArcanum]

Thanks dood, amazing, hopefully i can up my game with this!

[Flameon302]

Lol not so fast :)

[TheDimsh]

some of these i have NEVER seen lol .. i wonder if there's more O.O

[dgometdoom]

Great job! :D

[OHHzSNAPPERz]

damn i didnt know that makoto was so damn good lol ....

[Nepherupito]

good luck hitting people with full focus attack since thats all you do

[Jayybumm]

@Nepherupito Hey idiot thats why their called set ups.. meaning if you ever encounter this Situation.. Obviously you don't know how to use a focus attack effectively...

[Nepherupito]

@Jayybumm iunno i dont even have this game 

[Michael0075]

Makoto Counts to Ten,.... ouch. 0.o You guys have seen that video right? Hilarious!

[ISniffDirtyPanties]

No PANTY combos?

[RisenChudJr]

1:33 fist to the balls

[krizitoyness]

does makoto take 50% damage when she uses super like in 3rd strike.?

[DevilJin01]

3:22

[cokIe4Ever]

can these combos work outside of corners???

[HELLSHATRED7]

@cokIe4Ever no just da coner

[Jopraris]

thanks for sharing. 

[darkfox003]

ur makoto skills makes me wanna cry :'(

[lennytube88]

is this the xbox 360 version or the ps3? because i have the ps3 and not to brag but i'm pretty good wit makota but for some reason i can't do these combos......like the mp,mp,mp u did....it just won't connect

[SonofGenkai18]

@lennytube88 it's a pretty simple link. I'm sure with a little practice you'll get it. then you'll be good with Makoto

[blackman6270]

@lennytube88 triple med punch links only work against big chars like T. hawk and Zangief. Thats why he used T hawk in this vid cuz all of her combos work on him. Some of the combos are (nearly) impossible o other chars.

[TheGosu]

@lennytube88 It's called linking, and if you don't understand the mechanics of counter hit or basic linking using plink or double tap then...

You're not that good lol...

[shnGouki08]

I miss three's :*(. So much gayness in ssf4, they should of included every sf character and kept it 2d with the parry system, maybe included ultras, and supers such as the ones in ssf4. Just too much ability to make 2,3,4 hit combos doing the same move(mp,mp,mp). Even with strict timing, little to no skill whatsoever. Sick combo vid though.

[thepathablaze]

so rare to see a combo vid with inputs shown. thank you for this

[TheDonaldduck911]

i like makoto and i can deal with most players while im on the ground but im having problems against happy jump characters. Does someone know if makoto's got a good anti-air? (or a decent one)

[LegendaryFrost]

@TheDonaldduck911 Her jumping forward and back hard punch are her only good ones as far as I know. My toughest match ups for her so far are Adon because of the air game and Balrog because he is a cheap ass mofo.

[mcknight9127]

@LegendaryFrost against jaguar tooth spammers you can just do a st.mp and it'll beat it clean and if he is doing the jaguar tooth rising jaguar spam just block the tooth and then ex karakusa and it'll absorb the first hit of the rising jaguar and stop him in his tracks

as for balrog i just say cross him up alot to make him keep losing charge and his jump on are ridiculous lol long ass arms

and just keep catchin him in karakusa mixups and hope he doesn't mash jab lol

[mcknight9127]

@TheDonaldduck911

cr.mk then dash cross up to karakusa lol(just thought i'd at a little extra)

st.mp is decent if timed right

light fukiage'll catch pretty much anyone in the crotch just time it right

and st.mk can shut alot of jumppin shit down

iv'e even stuffed a whole zangief assault by repeatedly using st.mk lol yes even the lariat lol

[WerdyA]

i really hate the balance system for super street fighter 4 you can't deal alot of damage with ultras and supers after you finish your chain combo leading to them!!!

[Celestialbeing21]

@WerdyA

Sf 3rd strike = skill

I don't know why they took away the parry system.

[Ashitakaandsan]

god the links are just amazing

[kyuubinaruto]

too many FA influenced combos

[xThunderxWolfx]

And we'll never know if the last ultra hit. :/

[CosmicGiggalo]

A good video, with many good combos. My question is, how many of them can be used against players online?

[hardgayramen4ever]

first ultra 1 combo, use your whole super meter to cancel into ultra that does jack shit damage

I wish people would stop being flashy and just show combos that fucking work and are worth using in matches

[Monso]

@hardgayramen4ever IT'S A COMBO VIDEO

IT SHOWCASES COMBOS, NOT DAMAGE. COMBOS.

L2READ PLEASE

[Unorthodoxbeats]

Omg thank you for this video.. I thought she was very limited but this video proves other wise!

[iubmark]

your inputs are to nice

[jiraiyasan]

are any of these on counter or are they straight set ups?

[Fullmetalboy2]

This looks like Tekken lol

[kyuubinaruto]

god i hope your joking

[Fullmetalboy2]

@kyuubinaruto If you were referring to me I was joking. Cause the combos were extra long I said it reminds me of watching Tekken lol

[kyuubinaruto]

oh! XD.

i wouldnn't know im a grapple spammer on tekken nowadays since jin got nerfed.

[mathiasmoulin]

trop difficile !!!!!!!!

[mastadev]

how do you direct ultra 2??

[AzumangaFan13]

@mastadev Before Makoto grabs the wall, press a certain kick button:

Light Kick = Short

Medium Kick = Middle

Heavy Kick = Far

[Mastere88]

Well to anyone that's thinking to use these combo's don't. Unless your fighting T.Hawk or Gief. Everyone's hit boxes are smaller mostly impossible to do to ken or any Mid size players.

[Diaresta]

Do most of these combo's only work on T.Hawk, or is it possible to use them on normal sized characters(Juri, Ryu, Ibuki, ect.)?

[Uesugi90]

@Diaresta most of them you can, just a shorter hit confirm

[hiphoplivs]

@Diaresta just try em for yourself o.O

[swifttiger]

@Diaresta tried them only big guys

[Lrdvltr]

Did you link the LK<MK target combo at 1:08 ?

[Uesugi90]

@Lrdvltr yup

[Lrdvltr]

@Uesugi90 With what punch/kick? Is it corner only or character exclusive?

[marcgun69]

thanks for the video but I just can not do with the kara karakusa

makoto how you doing

[marcgun69]

thanks for the video but I just can not do with the karakusa

makoto how you doing?

[dublos86]

@Uesugi90 --Hey, just wanted to ask for a little help. im having trouble with makotos most common combo. the karakusa>hp~hp hayate. Whenever i do the karakusa I can amost never land the hp~hayate in time or sometimes i input it too quick. Could you help me with any tips?, I wait until makoto has put the opponent back on the ground but I always struggle with the hp~hp hayate input. Whats your trick?

[MonsieurChupon]

@dublos86 Have you tried the LP or MP Hayate ?

Is the timing problem happen between Kara>HP or HP>Hayate ?

[fatty05k]

Dont listen to anyone that says this isnt a good combo video. This video wasnt made to show practical combo's. It was made to show how far makoto can go at this piont. I have to say im impressed. If your looking for combo's for matches this isnt the right video for you.

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

@fatty05k you can pull this off,if you know how to set it up.remember yun or angus reflector combo's?

[dc4lsvtec]

why do people always complain about combos being situational? Its a combo video, he's showing combos.

[Tsukasa009]

lots of the first stuff is T.Hawk only i'm pretty sure...

[zzdd66000]

Most of those ultra 1 combos are pretty stupid since you could do more damage if you didn't do all those normals before it.

[JayBoogie950]

ok explain to me how ur connecting 2 focus attacks....

[Nitiiii11]

95% of those combos only work on counterhit, in corner or against certain enemies. Video is nicely done but those combos are pretty worthless besides the training mode.

[Nightcrawler411]

did u set to auto-block when doing these combos O.o?

I connect Heavy Punch with a medium oroshi if he's blocking :\

3:17 for instance

[CarbonDragonX]

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

im trying to get better with makoto, but trial have unrealistic combos for controllers and i only know of basic combos like U2+[M]tsurugi+[EX]hayate and karakusa+HP+Hayate. this vid has some realistic combos and will help me a lot, once again thank you! ^^

[dasuberedward]

Is there any video that has the inputs given to you instead of scrolling? I have no idea what's going on really and being able to read what the combos are easily would be fantastic.

[Craft2299]

Seth probobly is 100%-ed on the last one where the clip ended.

[Lrdvltr]

This clearly only works on Big ass T-hawk lol!

[KenshinStars]

Cool combos and all but...most of these can only be done to T. Hawk as he's the biggest character in the game. Plus comboing 2 focus attacks just scales down the damage on that combo, you're better off doing 1.

[xxbeholderxx]

this vid is Awsm!!! i just practiced a little with Makoto and i was really satisfied. this vid will improve me a lot, so ty for uploadin this man....awsm stuff

[chinonononozu]

lol last ultra

[ShawnMcCool]

Corner only combos that only work on thawk and gief.

[martyr84]

You can get out of all those karakusa setups by mashing grab :(

[dragonbz4]

@martyr84 you cant tech command grabs O.o

[martyr84]

@dragonbz4 of course you can't... but normal grab has better startup than any versions of Karakusa

[wwecrazy]

@martyr84 then just do IA Tsurugi instead. I dont think her setups and functionality are going to be as braindead as they were in 3s

[LuffyOnFire]

I don't like how she relys on FA very much.

[Nate646]

Those combos will only work if there in the corner

[marioVreal]

omg omg i love this im hyped

i love makoto her and abel =d

[xxbeholderxx]

@marioVreal

hehe those two are the reason i played sf4 and bought ssf4 lol

[wDawks]

cool combos...

[MrSoberSoldier]

She's....AWESOME!!!

[kofz12123]

will this work on other characters except hawk?

plus, all of em at the corner.

[YogaFlame24]

Very Nice

[xRaize9593x]

sweet! Makoto looks nice and clean
