oh man, that bbs combo looks legit. I can see hope again! It doesn't look too situational. I'm wondering if you can hit confirm BBS into a combo after a CH j.b. Since her throw is special cancelable again, maybe throw into BBS combo? I wonder how that will prorate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Please let that be possible!

is 5cc the new 2c in combos now, lol

If its getting tighter, why does this list have S to D tier, @_@.

Lots of good footage in that video

Rare footage of goro actually playing makoto.

I think Makoto's CS1 lighting arrow combos were most fun. Give me CS1 makoto with CS2 5B and i will be happy. =p

Any Character can be "brain dead". Makoto is a linear character, always was a linear character. I'd say she is very fundamental based, not very gimmicky. She highly rewards solid footsies and fundamentals. I think her problem is that she never really has that much room for exploration. Like omni said, cookie cutter. What you see in week one combos are more than likely her most optimal. and also lots of her tools are useless and or unsafe.

Something i just saw. I'm not sure if the player dropped the combo or not, but at 4:42 it looks like 214A~B will not combo if they are standing. >_>. Any other time when he got the hit confirm when they are standing he does the infinite rush combo instead and a couple times against the tsubaki and the hazama player, 214A~B comboed but they were crouching. I'm wondering if this is true. I don't know i feel about this.. >_>

I really don't like the Nerf to parry myself but, I guess their idea behind it is they want to limit "guess parrying? o0". Getting at least 5k off of a guess parry hit confirm combo. If your smart with it , it will be still as effective though. No matter, i can't wait getting counter thrown/hit out of it. -_-

Mechanically She seems to be the same character. Her actual normal moves used for footsies and spacing don't really seem to be hindered. Outside of her new combo routes, she's seems to be essentially the same character. If your footsies and Spacing is on point i think you'll be ok. Also i haven't seen any CH5b into 2C in any Extend makoto videos. Is it still possible? Confirm or deny. Or is it just that midscreen, you can't do anything with it anymore. I did see a CH5C into 2C get bursted though. New Makoto Footage here

Makoto had the most freedom in CS2 in my opinion. Once people figure out the most optimal combo route, that is probably all were gonna see in extend which isn't really a bad thing. She probably had the most variety in cs2 as well. Seeing the things that they have taken away in Extend, she'll be even more limited in what she can do. There is no Creative or deep-mixups. Makoto is Linear and will pretty much stay linear.

Goro playing Lambda again in Extend. I"m so sad. ="(

I wouldn't say she is cs1 rachel tier. But atleast for me, i've yet to see any footage(scarce @_@) of her yet that leaves a good impression on me. What i liked about her in CS1 and CS2 was how there was weight behind everything she did. I've yet to see it in CS;EX so far.

I feel like i've still yet to see anything impressive with in extent still. It still looks like she can do more in the corner but i guess and hope thatthe player in those videos were not using her at her full potential.

i wonder if after a j.d. you could do 214A~C, D xx particle flare...

Goro, Keita, Isa..Give me hope . Where are you! @_@

she's doing that ragna cs1~cs2 phase where everyone thought ragna was really bad at the beginning of cs2 but ended up rounding off pretty good later on. I'm gonna assume, and hope she will go through the same thing. It is just up to the players to find new ways to do shit, instead of trying to do cs2 in exetent.

@guardian, i'm curious as to why you think makoto is his hardest match up. I play against my valk friend alot (u remember Lockhart from Final Round) since last December and i always felt Valk beats her even if its only by a little.

That is because out of the 5 entrants, 3 of us were from the same place, columbia sc. We play each other all the time. Drive 3 1/2 hours just to play your bros for money? No thanks. We came out off of the assumption that more people from ga would show up, considering the talk over it. Guess not. Disappointing

New posts. I figure i post some match videos, the other ones are too long so i'll just post these. Haven't been practicing too much as of late so a bit sloppy, lol. VS: Valkenhayn VS: Platinum

suggestions, what about something like 66>1C? It will be still be 2C. Atleast for me, when i'm using the stick, when i do that part of combos i do 66> (downback c), just out of habit. maybe you'll avoid 3c from coming out this way? idk.

I kno that after the first spin, moves like Valk's 5b, litchi's 5b, ragna's 5b, will hit her, Projectiles jin's 236, lambda's 5d will hit her after the first spin,

@seyu, any other part of her 3c, if its not around the first spin, she will get hit.

I've tested it and she can avoid Both of those including the TK214D using 3C.
