Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike/Makoto/2021

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy Resources

Edit Introduction

Introduction

Makoto, a tomboyish Japanese teenager, seeks to restore her father's dojo to its former glory. She is one of the new characters introduced in SF III: 3rd Strike, based around a more traditional concept of Japanese Karate compared to Ryu/Ken's more supernaturally-flavored Ansatsuken.

Makoto is the first female Street Fighter to be tough and hard-hitting with just as much stamina as the average males (like Ryu and Ken), instead of being a "glass cannon" archetype. Although her normal walk speed is incredibly sluggish, she has the fastest dash in the game, as well as quick feints and overheads. Perhaps her best tool is the Karakusa, a unique command grab which can be comboed from, making way for devastating damage and stun. Put all of this together and you have a character who can survive long sets until her highly explosive fighting style can win with a single opening.

Super Arts

SA I (Seichuusen Godanzuki)

Highly recommended for beginners. Use this for the faster characters, including Yun, Yang, and Ibuki, who tend to be harder to grab with Karakusa. It does excellent damage and has numerous hit-confirms, in addition to the guaranteed Karakusa ones. It is especially good if you can confirm it after Hayate and Oroshi. 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. It also confers no positional advantage after hit, as your opponent is sent across the screen and often recovers before you will (some characters can even get a free punish if you hit them with it in the corner). Some top players use this super exclusively against all characters as it allows for fast punishes and is universally easy to connect with.

SA II: (Abare Tosanami)

High execution, high reward Super. Typically used for slower characters including the shotos, Urien, Hugo, etc. A lot of its usefulness depends on your ability to land Karakusa (or the threat thereof), especially on your half of the screen, as it can be comboed into with HP after the Karakusa (or simply with HP to catch your opponent trying to jump away out of Karakusa reach. It is potentially the most powerful super in the game and can lead to 100% kill combos from full health using the Double Fukiage technique. For the most damage, you can use early MK Tsurugi, Fukiage, jump Fierce, but for the most reliable combo, use MK Tsurugi, Hayate, Hayate.

Makoto has 100% stun setups from Karakusa on almost everyone except the 5 characters with the longest stun bar (Alex, Q, Hugo, Oro, and Dudley) using the "Double Fukiage" (W-Fukiage in Japan) followup, but they involve an advanced kara-cancel technique on at least the first Fukiage (using neutral HK), and even more advanced methods against Oro, Ibuki, and Chun-Li (the Telesniper technique). Akuma and Remy, having the shortest stun bars, have the easiest 100% stun combo (the "Fukiage, HP" follow-up to the super), and can also be fully stunned with even a raw SAII using the Double Fukiage follow-up. Timing before the first Fukiage also varies greatly by character (Necro, Urien, Dudley, and Hugo very slowly, Shotos tend to fall moderately fast, and Yun, Yang, and Alex fall extremely quickly, for example). Also, it can 100% stun every character in the game if comboed into from jump HP, though this is highly situational.

The main downside (aside from its usefulness being mostly tied to your ability to land Karakusa on your side of the screen) is that it has huge startup time and no actual invulnerability on startup, unlike her other two supers. However, it can be used to counter fireballs from full screen, and counter meaty low attacks and throws even on wakeup (if you are actually unhinged enough to do this).

SA III: (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 (while it's already active), you're pretty much screwed. It does confer temporary invulnerability upon startup with zero recovery time (and is the only super in the game to do so), so it's possible to use this as a one-time Get Out of Jail Free card, but it's likely to take you out of the frying pan and directly into the fire.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Some of the best stun accumulation in the game, between Fukiage (40-70%), EX Hayate after Karakusa (50%), neutral throw (25%), and SA2 (100%) Best forward dash in the game (12f), allowing her to maintain the threat of a command grab from half screen away, along with low profiling under high attacks Almost all attacks have great hitboxes and active frames with advantage on hit or block, allowing for pressure into Karakusa or confirms into SA1 Great mixup/pressure game with her scary command grab (Karakusa), fast overheads in EX Orochi/Tsurugi, and feints with Hayate and f+HK

Slowest walk speed in the game, meaning she has to commit to her movement options and has linear/straightforward offense Slow startup on many moves (and the slowest light attacks in the game) and no invulnerable reversals outside of SA1, requiring more work for defense Unusually wide hitbox can make her easier to juggle or combo for many characters (such as Yun/Yang's command grab followups) Lack of a projectile (and projectile invulnerable options) makes it hard for her to contest neutral pressure Lacks a cancelable crouching MK, making it hard to threaten with low options at farther distances

3S Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by an asterisk (ex: 3*5). If there is a gap between sets of active frames, the gap is denoted by a number in parentheses (ex: 2(4)2)
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel (into itself or another light attack), refer to description for options. "self": Self-only chain cancel. Much more restrictive than a standard chain cancel. "tc": Target combo, refer to description for options. Successive attacks in a target combo may warrant their own move entry. "dash": Grounded dashes. "sj": Super jump. "sp": Special move. "su": Super Art.
Damage	Attack damage on hit in life points. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. D refers to knockdown on hit. "Cr. Hit" is an additional frame advantage value denoting if the advantage on hit changes when the defender is being hit while crouching.
Kara Range	Almost all normal attacks can be canceled into a special or a multi-button command within three frames of startup. During that time, some attacks will shift position forward or backward and affect the reach of the special or command accordingly. This is denoted in pixels of range. There are a handful of moves in the game that can be kara-canceled after this initial window and will be denoted as a late kara-cancel.
Link	A combo that is performed by inputting the second move after the first move has completely recovered (as opposed to cancelling the first move's animation). In 3S, the final frame of a move's hitstun allows a character to block a normal or special move, as well as some projectile supers. Therefore, an attack's frame advantage must be 2 frames greater than the followup move's startup in order to link. Ex: a +6 normal can link into a 4f normal/special, or a 5f super.
Parry	This field will show a value of A if the attack can be parried standing or crouching, H if it must be parried standing or L if it must be parried crouching.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. 3S uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
Throw range	Range in pixels from the center of the character to the center of the opponent which allows a grab to connect.

Cancel options: self sp su Can chain into st.LK +2 in all scenarios This button is a good tool for mix, dash cancel, and tick throw karakusa, but is not the best button for these options.

5MP

Stand MP

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
8	11	4	7	8

14	9	-	H	6
Cancel options: sp su Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 11, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0. Unusually fast recovery (4f) for a medium attack; can be parried and still be safe from 10f attacks Huge advantage on hit and block, use as a meaty okizeme tool outside of throw range to confirm into SA1 safely, or at close range to lead into a frame trap or combo Possibly the game's best mix-up normal, or one of. It is +6 on block, making it a good pressure tool and hard to counterattack against it, although the startup of the normal itself (8f) can be quite annoying at first. It can be combo'd into HP hayate and SA1 (even as a confirm). Can be linked into LK > LP hayate. Can be used for tick karakusa. Also a good AA, as if parried Makoto can cancel MP into a special, SA or a dash.

5HP

Stand HP

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
8	2	22	-3	-1
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
21	15	-	H	-5
Cancel options: sp su Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Can be canceled into Hayate (and canceled again) on hit to improve its frame advantage from -3 to +1 Yet another go-to cancelling move. It can be combo'd into all lvl1s, EX hayate, EX oroshi, and all SAs. However, it does Whiff on most of the cast except tall characters, yet against them it's ~+1 ob if hayate feint'd afterwards. It can be cancelled into a special or SA if parried. A high risk high reward option.

5LK

Stand LK

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
4	5	12	-2	-2
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
7	3	-	A	-2
Cancel options: tc sp su 7 kara range Late kara-cancel possible from frames 8-11 A go-to cancel button, as it can be combo'd into LP Hayate, Hayate Feint, and SA1. It can cancel into all Oroshi versions, and can be kara canceled into the rest of her grounded specials, most notable of which being karakusa, all without initially connecting with the opponent.

5MK

Stand MK

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
7	5	13	-1	-
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
16	7	-	A	-2
7 kara range Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 11, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0. Due to it frequently missing crouching characters, it is only used rarely. Its value comes from the LK>MK Target Combo, and as an anti-air, though it lacks the cancelling potential of MP, cr.MP, or HP. Also has some use as a niche poke against Hugo's normals.

5HK

Stand HK

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
11	9	13	2	4
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
23	7	-	H	-
-24 kara range (useful for W Fukiage technique and for certain setups, as it moves her backwards.) Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Can avoid both low attacks and throws with proper timing and distance (except in the corner) It shares the same use as 6HP in the neutral. In comparison to 6HP, it's better at stuffing low pokes, though it's worse against dash-ins. It's also used in the SA2 TOD and kara Hayate against twin's divekicks.

Cancel options: tc Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 17, Block: 7. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Can cancel to Yamase without connecting with the opponent Useful for getting the opponent to respect a desired distance and can stuff many moves, though slow start-up can cripple the latter.

Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Only standing attack in the game that hits low From 3rd frame, Makoto steps backwards and can avoid some grabs Moves her forward far more quickly than walk This move is looked over in favor of its feint option, as it lacks any good utility otherwise.

During Kuroshio, perform by holding HK for 18f Like Kuroshio, from 3rd frame, Makoto steps backwards and can avoid some grabs Recovers 6f faster than Kuroshio and is excellent against knocked-down opponents to set up a Karakusa Used as another dash, and for a post-knockdown Karakusa setup.

Crouching Normals

2LP

Crouch LP
+

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
5	4	5	3	3
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
3	3	-	A	3
Cancel options: self sp su A better LP in most cases. Better recovery and +3 on all scenarios, however less active frames and 1f slower than LP on startup, so use it for applying mixups and dash cancelling.

2MP

Crouch MP
+

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
7	7	11	-	1
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
12	5	-	A	-1
Cancel options: sp su 3 kara range Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 11, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0. Long cancel window and significant active frames allow this to be used to cover a large area and hit confirm into hayate if it hits. The aforementioned Long-ish range and cancel window makes it an ideal poking tool and niche AA. It can be cancelled into a special or SA if parried. You can also cancel it into HP Hayate or SA1 if it lands normally.

2HP

Crouch HP
+

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
10	2	21	D	D
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
17	3	-	L	-6
Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Sweep, hits low Its excellent speed and range makes it good at stopping approaches, and largely unpunishable by other sweeps. However it can still suffer against certain SAs, so be sure not to abuse it.

2LK

Crouch LK
+

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
4	6	10	-3	-3
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
5	3	-	L	-3
Cancel options: sp su Makoto's fastest low poke. Usually reserved for mixups Combos into LP hayate, unless it hits at max range. Almost immediately retracts Makoto's upper body, making downward-moving attacks strike later (if not miss entirely) The most used button for punishing high-blockers, especially after Hayate loops (only for 2 loops though). Cancel it into LP Hayate. You can also cancel it into EX Oroshi to punish low blocking.

2MK

Crouch MK
+

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
7	8	7	4	5
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
16	5	-	A	3
Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 11, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0. Superb hitbox coverage, making it a great poke. Can be linked into SA1 Moves Makoto's hurtbox very low, so it can be a good niche anti air as well. Extended leg is raised over most low attacks. Does not hit low; can be parried high or low A good normal to whiff for meter build. A really good low poke. It's +3 on block so you can harass with it (with caution). It can beat other cr.MKs. It can also be linked into SA1 after Karakusa, though it does the same dmg of HP > lvl1 MP Hayate > SA1.

2HK

Crouch HK
+

Startup	Active	Recovery	Hit	Cr. Hit
10	4	12	4	6
Damage	Stun	Guard	Parry	Block
23	15	-	H	2
13 kara range Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. High-angle attack for anti-air, often recovers fast enough to be safe if parried Used sparingly against some characters (mainly Elena and Dudley). It can also beat long medium/heavy normals if spaced right.

Self meter gain: Whiff: 3, Hit: 19, Block: 10. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 4, Block: 0. Excellent all-round air attack, guaranteed hit if used after teching mid-air throws. Extremely fast for a heavy button with very high priortity and very good range. Can often dash in to extend pressure after an air to air hit. Same deal as j.MK, however the hitbox is only horizontal and it's a better A2A move. If done low enough it can be combo'd into st.HP.

Makoto's only true reversal. First hit forces standing. Can be linked into from any Hayate on hit, but the super must be inputted on its last recovery frame. This move has additional recovery AFTER the opponent lands from a successful hit. If connected in the corner, the following characters have advantage: Dudley (10F), Yang (8F), Necro (6F), Twelve (6F), Yun (5F), Q (3F) , Elena (1F, cannot punish) Hits 2-4 have significant vacuum effect but may not be enough if the first hit connected on an opponent's limb Cannot juggle air-reset opponents

Makoto turns red and charges up while yelling, this phrase can be changed by pressing any of the punch buttons or all three at once Attack power increases by 75% but loses the ability to block (parry is still possible) Damage bonus stacks multiplicatively with Personal Action attack bonus (max bonus 284%) The darkened startup animation lasts for 80f, much longer than normal and allows for extra time for the player to analyze the opponent's current state Makoto is COMPLETELY invulnerable for 6f after startup and can extend invulnerability for an additional 15f by not pressing any button or direction Opponent cannot quick-recover when knocked down by an enhanced attack, except throws Lasts for 600f (10 seconds)
