    OR... or...

    Makoto is at this point in time, virtually toothless in SSFIV

    I dunno, I'd say she's the opposite. She has a lot of really sharp and nasty teeth, but she has no way of getting those teeth near you.

    lvl2 focus, mk Tsurugi, HP xx HP Hayate is a pretty rad combo.

    i just beat a 50bp ryu, thus proving that moboto is good.

    edit: man i don't care if makoto isn't good, nut punching shotos online will never get old.

    Makoto isn't as terrible as people might say, but she has pretty high execution requirements to do what other characters tend to get for free. She doesn't have many pressure combos that are safe (relying mostly on pokes and normals), mediocre-to-terrible wakeup game and only one way to get past fireballs (the old fashioned way: jumping).

    She walks slow as shit which means you need to use her normals and dashes to move around (that or jump constantly like an idiot and eat anti-airs all day every day).

    Play Makoto against a good T.Hawk, Balrog, Guile, or Chun Li (Guile and Chun Li in particular) and you'll really feel just how pronounced her weaknesses can be. Mostly I think she's unpopular because she doesn't have any get-out-of-jail-free cards and she's so slow you need to get used to being where you want to be instead of moving where you want to move.

    SSF4 seems better balanced than SF4, I don't think being "low-tier" in SSF4 is really the same as being "low-tier" in SF4. Makoto's playable and punches people in the balls, what else do you want?

    Her ultra 1 is really good, I mean, not just because it punches nuts, it catches nearly everything and hits for full.

    Hey there's a SSF4 thread.

    I like this game. If these summer courses ever end I will play it again.

    Makoto is rad as fuck once you get some standard combos down. It's annoying getting around a wall of fireballs with her, but certainly not impossible, and once you get in close she hits pretty hard.

    I have been practicing with Sagat and Akuma. I goddamn love Akuma so much. It is unfortunate he is made of wet tissue paper.

    good games

    I think I dropped almost every single akuma cross up crouching light kick hurricane kick shoryu?

    It's not even the right combo, I think! I think I should be using medium punch or something

    who cares akuma smells

    I think if you want to mod, you can get a cheaper stick to mod with.

    Check the Shoryuken thread on that.

    yeah... modding an SE isn't really modding, your just unplugging old shitty buttons and putting on new nice ones then screwing the cover back on. If you really want to mod you have to build your own.

    I did, the SE is cool because it takes mods very well, it practically has AB+ wiring type
