either a DP it or delay your 2c to thhe very last moment. I've gotten hit be that so many times. the third thing is 2c might clash it doesn't mean your screwed cuz you could follow up or block. tsubaki can out range makoto so keep your distance. the only problem for tsubaki is the damage output which is in my opinion why tsubaki keeps losing to makoto. But hey what am i saying i don't play tsubaki so this is just some of the stuff i learned from experience. But then again tsubaki's DP is very unsafe so good luck with that.
