[CSE] Makoto Nanaya's General Gameplay Discussion Thread

[swordsman09]

Is that really how good the parry loop was? I wish I knew.

[Sezuki]

You net 10K+ yo what's not to like about it. It was da bessssss

[swordsman09]

Are you serious? Why didn't I play CS1?

[OmniSScythe]

Parry loop actually held back the floodgates of Makoto tech, when that got patched people found out that you could loop break shot xN, PF had positive proration and parry itself was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Gone are the days where I would practice those CS1 combos for days on end, just so I could hear my opponents run down the long list of ways to call Makoto a slut. My time with CS1 wasn't long but it was glorious. At least CS2 was awesome.

Now she's just... fair...

I was planning on not playing BB until CP since I last touched it back in August but everyone here is playing and shit. I guess I should shake off the rust in the last month of EX, especially for the possible squirrel summit at NEC. I can't expect to be decent with CP Mak in just a month of playing. >.>

I played CS1 with Makoto, but I didn't know about the loop in time. T_T

Now she's just... fair...

...While everyone else is screwed up, lol.

Omni, that Avatar... made my day, haha.

Hopefully someday I'll be good enough to be considered as Goro's retarded half-sister. :D

Also guys, refer to me as Horo not Kenrou since that's the name of the character I'm named after xD Kenrou just means wise...

[Dark Ranger88]

Damn, those combos looked (dare I say) FUN. I'm actually glad that I'll be a part of the Extend generation of Makoto, though. It will be better for my skills in the long run if I don't have to rely on a character's strength alone to win matches. That's actually one of the many reasons that I picked her up.

But of course...You are Horo: The Wise Squirrel, after all. Are you not?

And I thought I was alone on that one, that's also the reason I stuck with her.

[Kenrou.Horo]

I think I was rewatching Spice and Wolf as I was starting getting back into Blazblue, and thought: "Oh why the hell not, let's cosplay as her" xD Sorry Bang, you got shafted. Dat squirrel tail is too alluring. >.<

But I really am also glad that I am part of the Extend generation, since it's so rewarding to beat my friends with such an honest character :D

But of course...You are Horo: The Wise Squirrel, after all. Are you not?

Why yes, yes I am. As long as you understand~ :3

Btw, what was Goro like during CS1 and CS2? xD

Goro was CS1 Lambchops God. He could perform surgery from full-screen with those swords. You can see footage of it in EX and CP when he dropped Makoto for a bit.

He changed over in CS2. It looked a bit shaky at first but he started slaying people left and right soon enough since it wasn't exactly hard. He wasn't the best at the time, IMO. CS2 had Tsujikawa, Isa, and Ryota running things. He became Tail god in EX, if only because no one was playing her.

Nothing has really changed in CP other than Matsu Bang dropping his title as Bang God to play Makoto. He's above-average IMO. He's way nuttier than Goro which gets him in trouble sometimes. He's reached 17th dan a few times but he loses it within a week. He's currently 15th dan after getting thrashed from 17th to 13th. There hasn't been much footage of him lately either. He's still playing her since his match numbers have gone up but he has been playing Bang on the side now. Eda held 17th for a while as well before he dropped to 13th.

As of right now, Goro is on the short list of people at 18th Dan along with other character specialists like Ryo Relius and multiple Jins, Hazamas, Litchis and Taos. He's ranked 9th overall last I checked.

Was there ever footage of Mame's Makoto? LK said it made mines look horrible in comparison.

[Yazumatto]

If there is, it's lost in history.

[Errol]

there's some more goro up. more matches, that basically look like the new specials don't exist outside of OD combos. lunatic upper > reset or lunatic upper > chopper or gazer. I wanted to like lander blow.

still think there might be some good use to be had for cosmic ray now and then.

Edited September 16, 2013 by Errol

[Yazumatto]

Lander Blow is probably just a gimmick right now. Cosmic Ray is still used to close the distance sometimes but it doesn't seem to do much else outside of getting it to Fatal. Lightning Arrow does it better though since they fixed the Asteroid Vision paths.

Edit: I have this sudden urge to see if I can parry Kokonut's Mecha-Tager beam.

[Teutonicknight]

It's disheartening to hear that these new specials don't seem to combo much.

Edit: I have this sudden urge to see if I can parry Kokonut's Mecha-Tager beam.

Kokonoe: "Hahaha! Try blocking THIS without taking a world of chip damage Makoto! >:D

*parries the whole stream of the beam, not a single scratch*

Makoto: "How was that?" :3

Kokonoe: ಠ_ಠ

[Kenrou.Horo]

Well I've gotten better at fighting Ragna. Noel and Carl is still incredibly annoying though. TT^TT

[Kenrou.Horo]

I keep on saying I've switched to Makoto, but everytime I start losing a lot, I always switch to Bang. Is that weird?

[swordsman09]

That depends. Are you good with Bang?

[Kenrou.Horo]

Well he was my main for late CS2 and all of CSE until I started learning Makoto which was just over a month ago, so I guess I was kinda decent with him? :3 I'm definitely not as good now as before though.

[swordsman09]

That's not weird at all. It's not a bad thing wanting to use two characters.

[Kenrou.Horo]

That moment when Lambda's j.A beats my j.D ._."

[Errol]

you shouldn't be pressing j.D outside of a combo. anything will beat it. it's a piece of shit.

[Kurushii]

Makoto's air normals are great but yea avoid drive normals as neutral. Their startup and frameadv are horrible

[Errol]

The niche use is holding j.D to delay falling. It's like a poor man's version of litchi stuff, etc.
