It's probably generally a good habit to spam As when people drop combos. Makoto combo drops kind of suck because they virtually guarantee getting hit by jabs like that, at the least, or worse. Both of us have bad defense TBH but I've seen much worse too. I'm starting to feel a bit better about my defense lately.. just slightly.
I kid anyway, thanks to everyone for playing me.
My eventual goal is to trash Kiba's tsubaki so I can get him to drop the character.
