If you are new to Makoto or are having trouble winning with her, you need to understand these are shenanigans. They should only be applied once you have determined your opponent's tendencies to mash DPs or jab. Most of these tricks will also not work on back dash mashers. It is up to you to study and read your opponents before trying anything risky.
he forgot the part where ryu spammers do dragon punches lol
I've been playing Makoto since Super's release. In fact, I don't play anybody else. This tutorial is helpful, although I do all of that stuff myself anyway. The thing is, like someone mentioned above, it doesn't take into account mashers. Most characters on this game have a 'get off me move'. Makoto doesn't have that.
Just think about all the characters that can input a Dragon Punch type move, without having to do a DP motion. The game leans too far towards accessibility, leaving poor Makoto on her backside in far too many cases. You want to have a good time on SSFIV, pick a character with a DP move that floors an opponent on a missed link. All you gotta do is mash!
Dudley, Ryu, Ken, Sagat, Akuma, Cammy, Fei Long, Gouken, Seth, Adon, etc. There are more.
