Are combos BBCSEX tight? If so I find it really odd that they did that since CP combos seemed to be in a good place.

Oh god no. Just no.

Ah. Maybe he is looking for a character he can win big events like gods garden with. No disrespect to Goro's skill but I don't see any Makoto player winning that any time soon while maining Makoto.

Goro not playing Makoto?? Sounds like BBCPEX buffs are going to be really nice.

Based on that video makoto looks fine to me. Yeah you get less oki damage but she gained more from her non oki combos if I'm reading all the post correctly. Which is fine since a decent dp character can say f*** your oki.

I think cost is not why Mori wants to change the look. I think the change would be more geared towards getting new players interested in the series. Sadly, a lot of people tend to write off games that look like blaz just because of the old school 2d look.

I want to say she will be fine but atm it looks like she might have actually moved closer to the bottom tier wise. Makoto's problem is she is just solid but has nothing that sets her apart or that you really have to respect. Idk... Maybe we are missing something and these small changes will really charge some matchups.

Seems like only the new characters are getting changed. Don't forget that this company is very good at telling half truths. i e: new outfits turned out to be Noel only.

Yeah. I think my main issue is I tend to treat Jin like a normal rush down fighter and eat random ice attacks... I do notice a lot of Jin players also love to try and get a jjumping overhead. So what's a decent anti-air combo to blow that up? I don't think the combo section really has anything for 6a starters.

Thanks for the tips. It's still a hard matchup but I think it's like that for most of the cast vs. Jin. To me it seems like Makoto is kind of like Hakumen in the sense of once her health gets low and I have OD ready my mind goes into "this dude better not let me get that 5b starter or it's his a**" lol.

Sooo... Going to guess that the strategy for fighting Jin is to counter pick with someone like Litchi?

Anyone have tips for fighting Jin? His block strings seem super safe and can something be done about his overhead at all? It seems too fast to mash out of it and I don't want to give him a free counter hit combo.

Poor BlazBlue always coming out around the same time as other big fighting games... At least it will get some time in the spot light.

Not at home to actually test it but I think the opponent would tech as soon as the second 5D hits because of same move, so you might have to switch things around some.

Thanks for the tips guys. That seems to have fixed my issue.

Trying to work on my OD combos and going from OD ground dp to air dp is giving me trouble. Anyone got a tip they could share to make it work?

Not going to feed Dora's trolling attempt but I will admit when you compare Makoto to the rest of the cast she is clearly lacking. Still don't care and still playing her as my main.

From what I saw I think this is the most balanced he has ever been. Curse is still effective but he can't just spam random bugs as much without killing the curse gauge. Also, makoto 6C > shooting start and her new side switch are godly.

People won't switch to her because she requires a crap ton of work before you actually see results. No "do this move to instantly win" when it comes to her. Lol

Not 100% sure where to post this but , does anyone have some tips on how to deal with Tao? Idc if it's based on CP Tao or not since it seems like not much has changed.however, the more CP related the better... But it seems like everything she does beats out any poke I go with and her block strings have really hard to read gap.

That's a really bad first round for any makoto player... I hope he bodies Nu since he used to play her. Plus it would be nice to have more footage on how this terrible matchup should be played, because every time I fight a Nu player I'm like...

What's this crazy talk about a color nerf? The black,white, with green hair makoto is badass and the new swag jacket is boss. The only thing I wish she could do was opt to keep the jacket on or off. Or use it as a long distance poke like Azrael!

I thought they made it so you can't really do much after landing 3C. But I can't find anything to back that up atm. My bad if I'm completely wrong on this one.

OD makoto is really close to CS2 minus the instant drives. It looks like CP tried to make her rush down better with stuff like cosmic ray but since you have to charge it it's too slow and for some odd reason 3C got a nerf Ahhh. Stupid Goro needs to stop owning ppl!

I think it's makoto's design that really hurts her ranking her drive is just an extra attack, while the 3 you mentioned have drives that can be used for attacking, keep away, and just quickly closing space. Granted, I still feel like makoto should be on par to a character like Valkenhyn when it comes to damage output or bring back the cs2 lightning arrow and stop nerfing our carry tools. I'm still holding out for a ps3 Makoto buff that most likely won't happen.
