SSF4 Makoto Basic Guide

[GarredHATES]

this still viable with AE 2012?

[RakeBone]

slow motion makaoto headbutt = WIN!!

[LordPenguin7485]

Maybe I just don't see it but how is this supposed to help? I mean, there isn't any narration, no combo list, no text explaining how to do it just a guy doing all the moves in really quickly. How is someone supposed to learn from this?

[Raarzorz]

@LordPenguin7485 It is assumed that if you play Makoto, you can look at these moves and know what they are without him having to spoonfeed you every link.

[LordPenguin7485]

@Raarzorz if its assumed that a person that watches this video knows Makoto why would they even be looking for a basic guide? if this is bare bones basic and I know how to play the character then I wouldn't need this at all NO ONE looking up a basic guide knows the character, hence the wording "basic" meaning: Forming an essential foundation or starting point; fundamental. . so in essence still proving (if that was the idea mind you.) that this videos pointless.

[Raarzorz]

@LordPenguin7485 There is a different between a Button guide and a basic guide. Surely if you have just picked up Makoto, the first thing you are going to do is start pressing buttons to see what does which move. This guide is a tiny step forward from that.

[fdom6776]

I think you can also do kara-karakusa like this: 632~6LK~4HK

But I don't know why it works, maybe when doing the 4HK it really inputs 14HK, so, it completes the HCB.

I can do it both ways, but inconsistenly :-(

[egg64]

Nice shit with the Ultra I links......damn Makoto really knows how to find her way to your balls I tell ya.

[anchor2000]

Would have been nice to have some input display on...other than that pretty good video.

[ElementalSk81]

2:24 we all know she had on commando pro. like damn, modern warfare 2 is changing our games as we speak.......

[stafax]

I want to be good with Makoto because I think she's a cool looking character, but she's so hard and I always get handed when I play her

[Hyan36]

No matter how fast i try i can't do the Kara-Karakusa is like you need super human speed to do it and is funny to me cuz at least I could do it on 3rd Strike with a D-pad it was once every 100 tries but still it was possible for me

[sonic9]

man it sooo hard hayate canceling after the standing hard punch

[MrNaughtyHands]

@sonic9 while the HP is in animation press and hold a kick button then do the hayate.. this auto cancels it..hope that helps

[Rotarrius]

i don't understand the kara throw! please can a nice person explain how to do it in normal terms - n if it's different for a fightpad? cheers

[kriezai]

@Rotarrius Kara throw will still work the same no matter what controller you're using, and it's purpose is to extend the lenght of the ability you use it with..: Such as Throws, makoto's Kara-karakusa throw can be quite hard to pull of since it's a forward l.K plinked to HCB kick... And that can be pretty hard to pull off... But otherwise her Kara throw is quite easy and should be used at all times since it extends her range. And that one is l.K-throw or m.K-throw. Hope this helps! Cheers mate

[Spiralls]

W0w dude im finally getting her kara cancel thanks for the tips greatly appreciate i love using makoto cuz u actually have to have skill to use her. Thanks bro.

[Ermac211]

Has anyone have problems doing karakusa on the right side because when I do it, it doesn't respond. Makoto keeps jumping when I did the right motion. On the left side, the karakusa move responds. I don't understand why is like that. Does anyone know the answer to it?

[bagukiri]

@Ermac211 Try going into training mode and turn on the input data. You should be able to analyze why the move is not working. If you are jumping before or after the motion then you're entering an up input.

[Ermac211]

@bagukiri I did the same input as I did it with the left side and it didn't work. I went to the left side to do the same input like was trying to do on the right side and it worked.

[ragger]

@Ermac211 When you go the other side you have to reverse the directional input.. :/

[diegoyun]

Street Fitghter 4 should have SF3 music as a downloaded content! Best music for the game! =D

[AlejandroFacundoS]

Good music xD

[Zappafan1980]

Very very useful Video thank you for doing it very useful for a Makoto Noob like me

[Chamillionare64]

It's a lot harder to do shit like this with the 360 Controller. Anyone have any tips for using Makoto?

[Lrdvltr]

Which kick button did you use for the kara karakusa?

[sparrow25]

i dont get it? 6lk214k?

[Yosefhouser]

This guide forgot to mention Focus cancel shenanigans. You can just about focus cancel and dash into Karakusa to an unexpecting opponent. Oh and dashing into Karakusa. Nice job regardless.

[8SetMeFree8]

Hey, are there any Kara's into her back normal throw? I'd rather have the 130 dmg + knockdown tyvm =D

[marcgun69]

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

makoto how you doing?

[TheHXCtaLIFE]

thx for your training video, helped me a lot, peace from Québec , merci !

[unknownlord]

Makoto is just aa highly technical character, obvious scrubs can't use her.

[MasaruKato82]

BASIC GUIDE TO MAKOTO:

1) She's godawful;

2) She has the worst gameplay in the game, save for Hakan. Even poor lil' El Fuerte has better options;

3) Pick somebody else.

[patrone411]

@MasaruKato82

yeah go and play ryu or sagat and let me play this little karate mouse to the fullest...

[asnlunatic]

@MasaruKato82 Says you. Usually when ppl  suck at a character they assume she/he is sucks. She requires more SKILL to play. Yeah you can go ahead and play sagat, but when you get beat by a makoto, that means YOU SUCK. LOW TIER FTW!

[DonnieLove214]

@MasaruKato82 I've never lost to a sagat or Ryu YET in online play. I've seen HORRIBLE makoto's HOWEVER, I've lost to 3 of them. Yet faced countless top tier picking fag f*cks...much like urself. LOL. You're the type to pick cable/sentinal in MVC2 huh? Who grows up watching the xmen saying "I wanna be sentinel!!" hahaha. Too many p*ssies in the world.

[SedoSan]

@MasaruKato82

lol, talk about being a total noob

[Yosefhouser]

@MasaruKato82 You're joking about Hakan right? Hakan's retarded powerful in this game with incredible options, powerful SPD, one of the most useful ultras in the game, excellent pokes, oiling up, the second highest HP, and full screen shenanigans. Nice trolling.

[BruNE0DJ]

makoto Better tahn Ryu or Segat ,

[DieOxXiN]

makoto has a nice kara range

[cloudlam123]

how do u do her Karakusa move? any1 plss help..

[Rashidtallguy]

appreciate the video, thanks again.

[HitokiriHikaru]

noobish question: how would one preform a hayate cancel?

[Lrdvltr]

@HitokiriHikaru Press any kick button while charging.

[HitokiriHikaru]

@Lrdvltr thanks a lot.

[DinnRaven]

how do you pull off at 1:24 i know the commands do you just have to be really fast because i saw you actually got behind him?

[rubadabdub]

@DinnRaven You can't pull it off on most characters. That's why, I think, the video creator is using Balrog as a sparring partner. Some of these combos are character specific. I've tried it a lot against slender/little characters but it always whiffs. It works like a charm against Balrog though.

[MrNaughtyHands]

@DinnRaven Makoto is a very combo char specific character..you have to learn what works vs all the characters..corner specific and all

[Ubahman]

Her kara throw's timing is extremely fast. I haven't been able to pull it off outside of training. Probably unlikely any casual players will be able to do this move with a high success rate.

[xxbeholderxx]

hmm the kara grab cancel aint working for me :S.......wuts goin on? any help plz?

[Lrdvltr]

Is the double crumple exclusive to Makoto?

[xxbeholderxx]

OMG!! double Crumple is INSANE!! i didnt know that

[RedSolarSkywalker]

no ultra 2 setups :p

[ssjkiego]

@RedSolarSkywalker

..wow..way to kill the moral.

[kyoushin777]

La saving de Makoto touche de trop loin ! O_o

[DboiKidCrisis]

glad to see she still has a kara grab. not as great as the old one but still good

[HwarangOfFaith]

what are the numbers mean? so basically to do the kara karkusa or kara throw is lk ~ (karakusa or throw) right?

[AZ16180339887]

@HwarangOfFaith Yes, 63214 = Half Circle Back

[HwarangOfFaith]

@AZ16180339887 thanks!

So 6lk ~ LK+LP means forward lk ~ LK+LP right?

Also, how's the leniancy for the kara moves? tight or fairly easy to pull off?

[EisakuKUN]

@AZ16180339887 its like a number pad 6=forward 2=down 4=back 8=up

[uchihalink123]

@AZ16180339887 how the hell does that mean half circle back?

[Shanyet]

@uchihalink123 lol. think about your joystick being a number pad.

[lluheyll]

@HwarangOfFaith 1(d/b) 2(d) 3(d/f) 4(b) 5(n) 6(f) 7(u/b) 8(u) 9(u/f) direction based as numberpad

[smashking2006]

@HwarangOfFaith the numbers are in coordination with your numeric keyboard. For example diagonal down+left would be 1, down would be 2 and diagonal down+right would be 3, etc.

[HwarangOfFaith]

@smashking2006 Ahhhh thank you kind sir.

[Promesses]

super vidéo !

[AZ16180339887]

@Promesses merci !

[dublos86]

@AZ16180339887 --Hey, this is a bit embarassing but I 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.

[demontesshu]

@dublos86 heres a a lil trick to make that combo easy. if you didn't know, RELEASING a button counts as input for doing a special move. so for an easy hp-hp hayate, press hp, then quarter circle forward and release the hp right away. works every time

[Gah1231]

Man shes got an amazing FA, I can't wait to main.

[jazzplaya44]

how smooth is the kara cancel karakusa?
