Introduction

Makoto is very unique, and still is to this day, as the first female fighting game character to be fairly slow and hard-hitting with just as much stamina as the average males (like Ryu and Ken), whereas all other female fighters before her had always focused on speed and always had notably less stamina. Although her normal walk speed is incredibly sluggish, she has the best forward dash in the game, as well as high priority and oppressive offense. Her best tool however is the Karakusa, a very unique command grab which can be comboed off of, making way for devastating damage and, overall, a highly dangerous and frustrating offensive fighting style.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Burst Damage: Makoto hurts incredibly hard, whether meterless or fully stocked. Makoto is even capable of dealing a true ToD to some of the cast thanks to her high damage supers. Fast Strike/Throw: With the best foward dash in the game, Makoto can enforce a powerful strike/throw mixup game that leads into great reward regardless of what she picks. Makoto also has a fast and damaging overhead that knocks down in Ex Orochi and can combo into her supers from her command grab starters. Great Pokes: Makoto has comparatively long ranged normals that often give a lot of advantage frames on hit or block, with only few being punishable. Combined with her fast dash, and she can control a lot of the screen.

Sluggish: Makoto has the slowest walk speed in the game, meaning she has to commit to her movement options and consider them carefully. She also has slow startup on many of her moves compared to the majority of the cast, meaning she can have a hard time escaping pressure or punishing certain moves. Execution Required: While Makoto's basic gameplan requires very little in the means of execution, her most powerful meterdumps and punishes require fast reaction speed and good execution.

Move Analysis

• All those sprites are taken from the site https://www.justnopoint.com/zweifuss/
• All Framedatas in "Move Analysis" section are taken from Game Restaurant , this means the Framedata isn't from the Dreamcast version like Karathrow site, it's from Arcade version.

Please note that the images show in this section are for the 1st frame it hits, so this means the opponent is taking the hit in the image shown on the move. I use the 1st frame of every move (except taunt, dash, jump, wakeup and 2nd throw image sprites) because you will see the maximum range of every attack (mostly of the attacks). Note also that those images are ACCURATE, they are exactly the first frame it hits, so enemy takes damage but they still dont make the "pain" frame.

Frame Data

Move	Frames you're frozen	Frames opponent is frozen	Frame Advantage when parry is successful	Frames before you can try another parry
Parry (High)	16	16	+4(LP/LK) +3(MP/MK) +2(HP/HK) 0(Special/Super) -16(Fireball)	24(19 when attack comes from the air)*,**

* (If a parry attempt is successful, the 19/21/24 frame restriction is taken away and you can attempt another parry immediately)

** (If another attack connects within 2 frames of your parry, it will automatically be parried)

Gauge Increase

Move	Gauge Increase
Parry (High)	4***
Parry (Low)	4***
Parry (Air)	4***

*** (You gain 4 of gauge for whatever attack parried, and for whatever hit you parry during multihit attack)

You can buffer any motion during High or Low parry, but NOT during Air parry, also parry resets the juggle count (and thus resets all scaling).

• Parry information is taken from Fukiage Forums, more exactly, from user JinraiPVC. Thanks for this information dude

A superb EX move that crosses much of the screen. The recovery can be cancelled into a safe taunt on hit. Can be followed up on in the corner with juggles and resets. It is slightly plus on block and can leave you with the right spacing to mix up between a poke and a LK kara Karakusa. Cannot be feinted like the other versions can.

Less stun than the other versions, but has a very low profile during its startup. Doesn't see much use but can be cancelled into in the case that your anti air gets parried (such as MP).

One of the fastest overheads in the game, and also one of the most rewarding as it gives a knockdown. Very good for mixups. Sees niche use in some corner combos.

Completely stalls Makoto's air momentum. Has an extra hit making it a harder parry. Does not see much use as because the MK version of this special starts juggles, and the HK version also knocks down without costing any meter.

SAII (Abare Tosanami)

Lead-ins:

Note: SAII tracks based on which kick is used. LK travels nearly vertically, MK goes to about half-screen, and HK goes about 3/4 screen. Sometimes there is character specificity involved in which kick to use; taller characters, for example, can be hit anywhere between pinned in the corner and half screen by MK (and sometimes HK, even), but shorter ones require LK if Makoto is pinned in the corner (MK hits once and then flies over the character's head) and MK otherwise.

(Karakusa), Cl. hp, SAII (only if opponent is on your half of the screen after the pushback from the standing fierce.)

Mp Oroshi, SAII (same condition).

Juggles after SAII finishes:

Note: All dash-cancels are in the direction your opponent is hit; therefore, if your SAII activates from the right corner of the screen, dash-cancel left, and vice-versa. Also, all follow-up uppercuts (fukiages) are in the opposite direction of the dash-cancel. Therefore, if you dash-canceled to the right, you have to do a left-directional DP motion. Finally, "JCD" = Jump-cancel directionally (towards opponent); JCU = Jump-cancel up.

SAIII (Tanden-Renki)

This isn't a traditional attacking super; Makoto gets a serious attack boost but can't block (until the meter runs out.) Therefore, there's not really any special comboes she can do with it, but there is a lot of damage potential if you can read your opponent well. The only one I've got is:

Strategies

Overview

Work your entire game around the karakusa/landing the abare tosanami. Use standing jabs to poke jump-ins, dashing under after the hit. This sets up for low LK-hayate, throw/ techs, or karakusas. This will become predictable, so keep it fresh. Jumping MK is the all purpose air and anti air attack. Jumping HK is great for swatting down jump happy combatants.

Basics

Makoto its a medium weight and hitbox rushdown grappler tomboy character with the objective of being aggressive from a simple crouching 2-in-1 LP Hayate to a Karakusa combo starter, she must charge a Super Art Stock as soon as possible and then land it for a high possible Stun combo.

She had good pokes but zoning with her but due to her slow walk and bad dash animation can be an easy objective for poking focused character like Necro and Twelve, try to approach your opponent with Hayate and jumping on it

Super Art Selection

SAI (Seichusen-Godanzuki):

Use this for the weaker stamina characters, including Yun, Yang, Ibuki, etc.* It does excellent damage, and has numerous hit-confirms, in addition to the guaranteed karakusa ones. Especially good if you get good comboing it out of dash punches, which are fairly easy to confirm. Weaknesses include lack of range and bad anti-air, but the first shouldn't be an issue if you combo into it, and the second isn't a big deal, as she has plenty of good anti-air normals.

* Some people use this super exclusively for all characters, which is fine, but not the norm. Even within the norm, there are some borderline characters, such as Chun-Li and Twelve, where it comes down to personal preference and skill. However, unless you really have a hard time landing karakusas, do not choose SAI for Akuma and Remy; always choose SAII.

SAII (Abare-Tosanami):

Typically used for higher stamina characters including the shotos, Urien, Hugo, etc. A lot of its usefulness depends on your ability to land karakusas, especially on your half of the screen, since the overhead link is virtually useless, and fierce -> SAII w/o karakusa is rare except for punishes. If you get good with karakusas, though, this super is excellent, as it has massive damage and stun potential. For the most damage, go the axe-kick, hayate, hayate route; for the most stun, follow it up with fukiage, hp/fukiage.

Akuma and Remy, having the shortest stun bars, have one of the easiest 100% stun combos in the game (the "fukiage, hp" follow-up to the super). Given their weak staminas (and therefore extra damage after the stun), this is why SAII is nearly always recommended for those two. Makoto actually has 100% stuns on everyone except the 5 characters with the longest stun bar (Alex, Q, Hugo, Oro, and Dudley), but they involve either two uppercuts after the super, kara-uppercutting either the first or second one. The timing on the second uppercut is very strict, and those 100%s are much more difficult to execute consistently. There is also character-specificity in which kara-uppercut to do. However, you can still get 80-85% stuns on those characters with the same combo than 100% stuns Akuma and Remy, so it's still an extremely worthwhile super.

The only downside (aside from its usefulness being totally tied to your ability to land stun grabs) is that it has absolutely terrible recovery if you mess it up (i.e. the fierce gets blocked, you land the fierce but the super comes out too late, the opponent is too far on the far half of the screen, etc.) This shouldn't be an issue once you get comfortable with it, but under virtually no circumstances should you use it outside of karakusa or guaranteed punish combos. In other words, terrible wake-up super, terrible super for punishing someone whiffing moves at a distance, etc. Just don't do it.

SAIII (Tanden-Renki):

Obviously the last super of choice, this is more a "fun" super than a practical one. If you can get your opponent on the back foot and guessing wrong once or twice, you can get insane damage by the time the meter runs out. However, if you're on the back foot against an experienced player, you're pretty much screwed.

• Personal Action: Attack and Recovers stun meter. Holding HP HK = Up to 2 more Stun Recocery bonuses Attack up.
