Well, it's back to getting smoked (Help/Learning Makoto)
As we speak, I am getting my ass handed to me by Seth on Medium in arcade mode. I haven't had to stuggle on medium for a while since SF4, when I mained Akuma (Not that well anyways) and used a controller. But for Super I have decided to switch to a stick and try someone brand new. Makoto always interested me in 3rd Stike but I could never grasp her since I didn't own the game and just played at...
As we speak, I am getting my ass handed to me by Seth on Medium in arcade mode. I haven't had to stuggle on medium for a while since SF4, when I mained Akuma (Not that well anyways) and used a controller. But for Super I have decided to switch to a stick and try someone brand new. Makoto always interested me in 3rd Stike but I could never grasp her since I didn't own the game and just played at my friends house. But I have to think WAY differently when play as her than I would a shoto. No decent wake up options, her command throw is OK but it doesn't beat uppercuts or... well about anything every time I try. Her dash punch doesn't go through fireballs which is super lame in my opinion since either the light punch has fast start up but no range or the hard has range but the slowest start up in the world. At the very least I wish the Dash Punch had super armor, since getting hit by a light jab and canceling out my EX move is SUPER lame. I usually use Ultra 2 since I can combo after it with the axe kick and EX dash punch really easily.
Then there's the stick. Playing on it is basically making me relearn the game as well. Finding the right way to place my hands is still an issue for the buttons as well as the joystick. sometimes I'll get simple combos like EX Jesus Kick, FADC, Ultra 1 with Rufus but 60% of the time I either miss the focus attack, don't dash, or Ultra 1 becomes EX Snake Stike.
I realize all of the post above my is noob/baby complaning and it just takes practise to get get good. But I'm tried of being free when it comes to online. I'm basically asking for help.
Arcade Stick:
- How should I hold the joystick
- How should I place my fingers on the buttons
- Any specific combos that are good for practising quarter cricle forward/backward movements.
- What fingers should I use to FACD
Character
- What times are Makotos dash punch suppost to be used
- How to I use her uppercut effectively
- How tight is the timing on HP to H Dash Punch.
- How can I beat DP when I'm getting off the floor?
Gotta practise some more with Pessh when he gets Super but right now I'm having tons of trouble with Makoto. Prolly not the best character to start with but I want to learn her really badly.
