RushDownTV Presents: Spotlight Makoto Volume One

[LuckySevenSamson]

Makoto = RUSHDOWN.

[WORLDZfamous2]

I was already good with her and now this is gonna make my game so much better thanks

[GardioxNebilim]

Very good tricks for makoto in this video. I really liked that tick throw punish at the beginning.

[herverts]

I remember seeing this and being like "MAKOTO IS NUTS". Then I realized that the game has a 10 frame reversal window. She needs a serious buff.

[Andru157]

3:30 Ryu's stun is 1440 is that cuase of the ultra?

[DragonOfAlkor]

what is the kara input?

[DeathandGrim2]

I wish you used the jap voice good video though

[TheAnimebola4]

karakusa into ultra ? why fei long don´t have that shit ? fuck off capcom

[HaruKodama]

I like the part where she punched the dick

[MrNaughtyHands]

what karakusa strength do you use on the smaller sized characters that it works after i fp hayate?

[Santiago125a]

does anyone know how to keep the combo after the ultr 2? i dont seem to get it right

[MrNaughtyHands]

@Santiago125a hold jump forward while she's doing the combo then when she jumps mk.tsurugi then ex hayate

[Drizzydid]

The combos are great. However the combos arent the problem for me....getting inside is lol

[unnstopable]

Why in the ballz...

[littlerain72401]

you must like makoto mostely all you uploading lol

[yoshikirby]

Thanks for the upload! This tutorial has helped me gain a better understanding of Makoto's moves, especially after watching you juggle T. Hawk with Hukiage in the corner after an EX Hayate.

[kupidzheart]

now thats beast

[maaden00]

noob here... i dont get kara f+lk into karakusa? & how does that extend the grab?

[djgeki]

@maaden00 This is actually pretty tough to time. I've spent a good few hours in training just practicing this particular kara. When you hit forward plus light kick, Makoto moves towards the opponent. If you Karakusa IMMEDIATELY after she starts this animation, she will move forward quite a large amount and grab. Being able to consecutively time Kara Karakusa also allows you to repeatedly grab the opponent after the previous kara Karakusa. Doesn't do much dmg, but it's fun :)

[kenaeda65]

@2:40 is that HP-karacancel-MP? this is awesome your doing shit i have got to learn. i luv makoto and im pretty good.kenaeda65 on psn look me up id love to spar with you.

[segatasanshir0]

wow great video I have been using viper and able and a little ibuki but i want to add her to the list, because that sweet reset, but it does not seem to be connecting for me you are using forward and light kick?  is the timing strict or something fast slow?

[russelwhite]

a very impressive guide, the karaksa setups are particularly nice (inc the explanation on which characters to use kara against).

[Hyan36]

oh man that was fantastic

i didn't know you can combo after the LP Orochi im gonna practice this

i was wandering after EX Hayate on the corner following up with f-LK or LP Hayate can it be done against certain characters or all of them

[dublos86]

This is quite embarassing but I'm having problems with the karakusa-hp-hp hayate. I can only pull if off like 1 or 2/ 10 times. Does anyone have any tips/advice on how to time the combo properly.

[SuperY4N]

@dublos86 I'm new to street fighter but this is what my boyfriend told me: if you're having trouble timing the hp after karakusa, then you need to just practice the timing. If it's the hp hayate you have trouble with, then do this: while doing the HP, press back and do a HCF instead of QCF to get the hp hayate out correctly. Just practice that, I get it right 9/10 and iti's my 3rd day playing.

[RedSolarSkywalker]

no one plays makoto but Me :)

[mjnecho]

@RedSolarSkywalker

im sorry , but playing with makoto online is just undescribebly god awfull...



[graphitesoul]

wow this vid is fantastico

[TheGosu]

Can you show us a tutorial on the kara karakusa? I can't seem to get any timing right on it.

[marcellusj1]

do u have xbox live

[snowmanmagik]

nice guide. but still, makoto is a terrible character.

[2chickenbone]

@snowmanmagik not necessarily, if you know how to use her she can be a right pain to fight against.

[marcgun69]

thanks for the video but I just can not do with the karakusa makoto how you doing?

[marcgun69]

thanks for the video but I not made a success The kara-karakusa.... coment faire?

[RurouniMonster]

in 2:31 how did you connect the H punch in to the M punch ?

[gill9775]

Wow this is really helpful! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!

[timacha]

last part was funny. great vid

[Lrdvltr]

You can combo into her f + HP punches? What's the air punch you used?

[RushDownTV]

@Lrdvltr Neutral Jump FP combos into F+HP punches easily, and I believe you can do it on a counterhit Angled Jumping FP

[Lrdvltr]

@RushDownTV Sorry to sound like a newb but what's a counterfeit angled jump? Is it just an angled jump-in ?

[RushDownTV]

@Lrdvltr Its counterhit, its basically when you hit the opponent in the startup of their attack, you'll get the counterhit message pop up. The advantage is it gives you a bit more time to combo stuff, allowing things to combo that couldn't otherwise, like the forward + FP

[fadecy]

Do you know what characters the corner ex hayate > light hayate works on?

[RushDownTV]

@fadecy I think it works on everything, its just the timing is really strict, but I'm not 100% sure. When I make volume 2 for Makoto, I'll be sure to nail down all this character specific stuff and options she has, this is just more of a general overview

[TheDimsh]

@RushDownTV Just wanted to ask if all this is into Auto Block since im having trouble connecting LP after the LP/MP Oroshi even in training mode ... is it even possible ?

[PimpWilly]

@TheDimsh Yes, it's on auto block. The timing is tight, make sure to set the dummy to crouch because it makes their hitbox a little wider, and also any opponent who gets hit by that move is probably crouch blocking

[Yagami1211]

CHESTOOOOOOOO ! CHESTOOOOOO ! Sechuusen Godanzuki !

[RurouniMonster]

So you can cancel the f+lk into the Kara ?

[flilitha]

How do you step over the opponent at around 4.01, is that just a dash or something?

[lcychains]

Is 2:06 Guarenteed?

[RushDownTV]

@lcychains No, thats just a mixup, not a combo, you can tell because the combo meter resets. But it puts the opponent into a situation where they dont know if you are going to attack from the left or the right, or throw, so it's in your favor

[RurouniMonster]

what's f+lk ?

[RushDownTV]

@RurouniMonster F+lk is holding forward, and using her light kick move. She does a step forward with a kick outward

[RurouniMonster]

what's f+lk ?

[qazzy]

I would like to see you do these combos and set ups during a match with a decent opponent

[Gah1231]

@qazzy

Your exaggerating, most of this stuff outside the kara cancel mixups and whatnot seem pretty simple, I expect to see most of this stuff from anyone who is half decent with makoto.

[joxdj]

thank you so much these are the best ssf4 vids yet keep them comming

[zalbain]

I'm having serious issues Karaing her Karausa in this game. What exactly is the timing?

[RushDownTV]

@zalbain The timing is really tight, you have to press f+lk and then do an entire half circle back and press whichever kick you want within the first few frames of the kick coming out. It's not an easy kara by any means. This is a really common question though, so I'll be putting up another video about Kara Karakusa showing my hands and the timing so people can see

[zalbain]

@RushDownTV Thanks a lot I appreciate it! Kinda funny how its actually harder to do something in this game than 3rd strike. its a first lol

[RedSolarSkywalker]

thanks, i know that we will be seeing a lot of what you just showed us, . . . if we can pull it off :) thanks mate !

[c2tw]

man, very good video

[m8069]

This vid is a god send, I was just counting this chick out, her walking speed is too slow, even if 3s she walked slow too, but this shows her awsome potential. you should make show inputs in a follow up vid, or send info to eventhubs, to update her page.

[IndigoR]

Wow that reset on Akuma is rapesauce! Get hit with that and it's GGPO!

[Makotokilla]

Great vid man, this will give me a lot to work with to start. Very appreciative of the Makoto love. Nice find on the T-Hawk corner work.

[Dias4Flac]

Good stuff man. Props to you and your peeps

[fadedsun303]

Can you still Karakusa>s.HPxxAbare?

[JunkerJames]

Can you kara a karakusa to grab those larger characters? I read that you could in 3S.

[JunkerJames]

@JunkerJames Oh I'm dumb. You immediately explain this afterwards :D

[sniperclown]

anyways in the akuma dizzy reset after the 1st ex hayate what kick is that ? just low kick or forward low kick ? or is it medium kick

[rmanthorp]

Awesome subbed :D

[sniperclown]

wow the ultra 1 takes 50% or almost 50% of hp

[jdktube]

@sniperclown

All the Ultras in this video are fully charged. Virtually any Ultra that is fully charged for any character will do close to 50%, not to mention Makoto can cancel from her Super (which is an attack buff) into her Ultra for more damage.

[PW1337]

I think it's more likely for the opponent to use a reversal instead of jumping away from the karakusa... especially those with shoryuken like moves...

[paul5121]

@PW1337 Then you block and destroy. It's all part of the mix up :)

[RockHFan]

WOW all this is super apprciated i CANT WAIT FOR TOMMARROW

[freshandlegal]

The ending is so sad =(

[alexisironman]

I love around 5:00 where he gets into the command throw evasion counters. That is freakin awesome.

[deadleg6]

crazy amount of crotch punches

[bxguru]

love the video, is it possible you can post the combos input would like to try alot of these combos out and that would help.

[Kyubi888Naruto]

That music was sexy.

[wiegraf9009]

Thanks for this!

[flight240]

i really appreciate this. good vid.

[SeriousCasuals]

Awesome stuff!  Thanks much!

[fadecy]

What do you use t capture your videos in HD?

[dwEEb813]

@fadecy You would use an HD PVR. most people use the Happauge HD PVR but i don't know which one RDTV is using

[RushDownTV]

@fadecy I'm using the Black Magic Intensity Pro, its an internal PCI-E card with HDMI inputs

[shaolinotter]

some of those jump punishes will only work if the opponent hits a button which is unlikely while jumping away

[RushDownTV]

@shaolinotter Yeah, the first one where it connects on the ground instead of in the air would definitely be blockable if they dont attack, but its also possible to charge it different lengths of time to hit a bit earlier. It was more of a concept to show it can go through some attacks and hit and not a definitive punish

[DebtROC]

I like the bonus round footage for the credits :D

[jeffhizzle]

Yeah Makoto lookin good. Good shit look forward to more.

[qazzy]

nice post

[veege04]

fierce - fierce - hayate... insane.
