Surprised there's no info on this matchup yet. Played a good Makoto for the first time today. I'm at a loss for what to do in this match...if I try to set up anything they'll run/jump up and smack me out of it. Once I get knocked down or in the corner, I find it impossible to escape her. What should I be doing in this matchup?

[Big Red Tie]

outrange her

try not to get cornered before 50 tension

When i try to fight makoto i use 5c and j2c for spacing, occasionally 63214c as if she were a haku because makoto likes to run in

Furu no tsurugi works wonders on 3C happy makotos, actually furu no tsurugi works wonders in this matchup, it punishes a lot of jump-ins and asteroid vision setups.

Other than that, keep her in range and watch out for the overheads. Dont get cornered...jc beats everything she has in the air (I believe)...all this + steins should make the matchup in our favor. Also keep in mind that I only play online and these are advices of what I do playing online, they might not apply to offline or lagless matches. If there is too much lag, then its totally reversed since mu's normals simply take too long to come out or dont come out at all.

i'd be careful w/ j2c, its pretty unsafe on block if the spacing isn't right

Thank you ill keep that in mind. I think i scare makotos because im mostly doing the physical rushing, so im mostly using j5c in the air but if they block it i either step back to zone or go forward with 2a 6b mix up into 63214c or 632146d distortion i agree with you on j2c because if they block that especially on instant block im screwed but even on block of j5c i can do 236a for back up and reset sometimes but im sure 236a works off j2c block too so i might still be ok with my basic strategies because i switch it up alot
