Yo Hypetani! Shoutouts to Juso as well proving there's more than one God-tier Sakura in town, too bad he couldn't close the deal against Haitani when he had the chance. No shame in losing to the guy who wins it all though.

Yeah, Haitani won this shit !
First major ever for a Makoto player xD

This match against Juso had me pulling quite a few hair of mine.
I hate Sakura so much, holy hell.

I watched the match first in KarinUSF4 channel with Japanese commentary, but Mike Ross is so funny to listen to when Haitani plays. He's so fanboy for him haha

Welp this won't work today. Something's up with Twitch but it's buffering every 5-10 seconds for a good 10 or 20 seconds lol. GG. Guess I'll watch later. Thanks though.

I'm sure it's already been posted, but I have been avoiding this thread for fear of spoilers, so can anyone please tell me where to find the VODs of the TGS showmatches? Thanks.

I've been re-inspired lately to play this game more, and actually learn Makoto who is a character I liked watching a lot when I was new to the game but couldn't get a grasp on because of her movement. Now with a bit more experience it's been a pleasure relearning a character and focusing more on fundamentals and smart pressure than autopilot stuff (an awfully bad habit I must admit, but one that's been very difficult for me to break on my main char(s)).

I'm having lots of trouble with instant air axe kick unfortunately. I can't tell if the timing is weird or if I'm just out of practice for a good couple months. I play a decent amount of Viper and have no issue with air burn kicks, both tiger knee'd or done "normally" I guess (jump/jumpforward rotate all the way around to back, like an SPD). I've been trying both, mostly the latter, with Makoto and I think the delay between when you become airborne and when you're able to axe kick is just a few frames longer than I'm used to, so I keep getting j.MK instead of the special. Frustrating, but just practice. It's incredibly fun to do for pressure; every time I get one, blocked or not, I get hype. And every time I sail over their head with a whiffed air normal I want to die.

I really love momentum characters, maining Oni and dabbling in Viper mostly. After pacing myself at the start and feeling it out, then when you get in that zone and you rush that shit down and get 2-3 mix ups in a row for amazing damage and usually a stun, it's such a great feeling and nothing keeps me coming back more than getting in that rhythm. Makoto feels similar and, despite being Day 1, last night I had a few rounds where I pulled that off and it was a ton of fun. Unlike Oni and Viper I feel like I have more strong neutral options, which slows my game down (in a good way) and encourages patience over autopilot. Fun character.

Instant air axekicks are a lot in muscle memory. They're hard to get right consistently ( even Haitani miss them sometimes ).
You can tigerknee them, but almost all Makoto players prefer to roll the stick from 9 to 4, in a SPD like motion.
The key to get it right, stay at 9 a bit longer than you thought you should, to confirm the jump, then rotate and make sure to not press kick before you get to 4.
Also, when you want to do one after an hayate as a mix up, just buffer the jump part by staying stick at 9 during the animation, I find it to be helpful to get the axekick as low as possible.

I'm using the numbers on the keyboard pad by the way.
And standing strong is your friend, your lover and your everything. Never forget that lol.
