Maki's Custom Combo Slide by GunterJPN
Old Combo Table
Meterless Combos
Maki has very few natural combos. The meterless options available to her are generally sub-optimal and have some disadvantages. Without meter, the majority of damage will come from single pokes adding up, big hits (sweeps, air attacks, suprise slides, overheads) and throws. Still, there are opportunities to get a few hits in when the opportunity presents itself.

Ground
Crouching Opponent - If the opponent is standing, Maki needs to sweep them and use a juggling combo. There are so many options - HPs (cr.HPs are easiest, but you can do HP, cr.HP for a pixel or so more damage) directly into Rolls. You can also Reppukyaku into cr.HP, and even Genko into cr.HP, and use a runstop for the transition move. But the best option is jumping HPs. Sweep and launch with cr.HP, whiff a LP or LK to cancel your recovery, and superjump after them.
Standing Opponent - If the opponent is standing, you can do repeated HKs.
Anti-Air
Maki can Reppukyaku and cancel with a cr.HP to launch the opponent, You can basically do any of the juggling Ground CCs from this point. While this is the faster start, the move requires you to have a certain level of health, and it costs you some of that health in order to perform it If you don’t have enough health to do a Reppukyaku, Maki’s Genko also knocks the opponent down - it just has a lot of startup. Roll canceling it may help.
Blocked
Unfortunately, Maki has no blocked combo that will last for anything more than a few hits. However, you may consider using a Hayagake overhead attack to attempt a reset, or a runstop 720 super to get some damage when the opponent is blocking.
Other
Slide Start - Starting with a Hayagake low slid allows you to go through a fireball, and also to retaliate a blocked Psycho Crusher, Blanka Ball, or Hotfoot.
Corner Blanka Ball Retaliation - If you’re close enough to the corner when you block a Blanka Ball, you can activate and immediately do an HP Genko.
CC off Punch Throw - You can activate after a Punch Throw in the corner, and hit with a LP before they hit the ground.
Corner Dan/Rolento Combo - Maki can OTG C/P/S Dan/Rolento after her most damaging combo in the corner, allowing for an even more damaging CC.
Repeated Regular Throws - Maki is one of the few characters that repeatedly throw Dan and Rolento with regular throws. She can even do it full screen.
