[CP1.1] Makoto Nanaya's Gameplay Discussion - When's 2.0?

[Wild Candy]

Her tail does obscure the opponent on the last punch. In combination with the RC animation, you could definitely obscure your next mixup.

Now that I look at her frame data, her dash at max-speed is tied with Bang for the highest so I assume you're right: acceleration is probably what got upgraded in exchange for her initial dash speed.

But if she can get to her top speed in fewer frames, she can cut across the screen faster, right? So thats good I think.

[Yazumatto]

...I think Goro did it? Weak-ass Google Translate seems to indicate that. Still not sure if it's the regional qualifiers though.

[HiagoX]

He's not classified yet.

[Yazumatto]

Classified? So you're saying that's just another regional qualifier and not the area finals?

[HiagoX]

Yes, precisely. Wouldn't that be from when he lost to Mitsurugi in the area finals?

[Errol]

on initial dash speed and acceleration. For makoto Ithink it is all about the initial dash speed, because that initial dash speed is what gives your pokes extra range. gundashing across the screen is less important I think.

[Yazumatto]

That pic was from twitter yesterday. The tweet before it said something about seeing Makoto in the finals. In fact, I remember seeing you congratulate him on that same tweet.

[HiagoX]

AH, ACTUALLY NEVERMIND.

I just heard that was actually his win at the area finals. He won against Konan in the grand final.

[MoneyD90]

Goro doing work with new Makoto! Funny how he left her, came back, and just started smashing people even more then before.

[Yazumatto]

Based Makoto god beating Based Tsubaki god for a spot in the ArcRevo tournament? I can get behind that.

[HiagoX]

Goro said in his interview that if he didn't win, he'd have to give up on trying to qualify due to being very busy starting April.

I'm glad he won!

[Yazumatto]

That's nice to know. Then again, he was playing with his food in one of his matches. That Ragna had him dead to rites in a lethal OD combo until he triggered SMP and Goro came back.

I still don't know what based tail god does for a living. All I know is that it is all-consuming and that it prevented him from showing up at NEC. ;_;

Also, where is said interview? o.o

I too would love to find out his day job. Does he have a Twitter or something so I can follow him? :3

[Yazumatto]

His twitter account is @Aki_Daisuki

Be careful though, it's pretty based. Also, completely Japanese.

[Kujikawa]

I don't mind, I have Matoi and others as well so its okay.

Thanks alot.

[Zoular]

Just curious, what is Matoi's Twitter name?

So is a particle flair ender always worth doing now? Looks like delayed techs can be difficult to deal with, but Goro seems to always use it after corner knockdown.

I never was a tail player in CS2 and I don't use it EX, so I'm unfamiliar with it.

It wasn't reliable in EX due to its very poor start up, but now using it after such moves as 5D in the corner limits their options on wake up greatly. To either blocking the orb, depending on their hitbox, then your incoming mix up, DP(which can be baited by simply delaying your assault slightly), super(same thing, and generally not a good idea ever), or jumping which you can easily react to.

Outside burning 50 heat for RC after a DP, I haven't noticed anything that consistently works against it very well, at least nothing that makoto doesn't have an ansew for.....though maybe I missed something.

[Eshi]

it got buffed back mostly to its old self, AND it works on hakumen now since drives are blockable. It's pretty much the bee's knees.

[Yazumatto]

In today's news, our lord and savior Goro is 18th dan. There is an unknown (to me) 15th dan Makoto in 2nd place. Also, some translated win quotes I found on tumblr. Not sure if real but they sound legit.

VS Arakune: “Eww… so gross… It makes me feel sick… ugh…"

VS Azrael: “You’re*THAT*Azrael? How the heck did you manage to break Sector Seven’s seal on you?”

VS Litchi: “I won’t wear that stuff! These ones are comfortable for moving around, that’s why I’m wearing them!”

VS Valkenhayn: “No matter how much of a wolf you are, you can’t win against a young squirrel like me!”

VS Platinum: “You’re so adorable! You remind me of my younger siblings… I wonder how they’re doing?”

VS Rachel: “I sure wish I could control lightning like that… Our taxes would lower a lot…”

Oh and Kuroku is at 7th place, dropping from 14th to 12th dan which sort of indicates he's stopped playing. =/

[Kujikawa]

That 15th Dan Makoto is Matsu from Central Hachijoi/Taito Station Machida.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone block for that long - in any fighting game.

That's not Matsu. The rankings have his Makoto at 12th dan and Azrael at 15th dan. He sort of dropped off as well.

Maybe he had a loss streak.

[Kujikawa]

Well the Makoto in the video has the exact same 'player name' as the 15th Dan Makoto.
