Mago using Makoto and Tokido using Seth in Super Street Fighter 4 AE

3RD STRIKE TOKIDO

By his button presses it seems Mago is ALWAYS buffering Makoto's low strong into the rush punch, even when he is whiffing!!

Thanks Capcom for unnecessarily nerfing our characters.

Nvm, got it wrong thinking of Mak lol.

This isn't for v.2012 is it? Or are they just f*ckin around?

EVERYONE IS SWITCHING MAINS IN JAPAN FOR THE LULZ!

IT'S ALL JUST A HOAX!!!

DAIGO IS GOING BACK TO USING HAKAN.

@2 mugenpunch

he could also be hayate cancelling, lots of mak players do that to shorten the recovery time on c. MP

Being a long term Makoto player, I could see Mago struggling with the scum sucking stink bag that is Adon. What a terrible character he is. For Makoto it's a horrible match-up. For crying out loud, Capcom, do something about that idiot character. He's completely stupid.

Canada Cup practice for when Murder Face bring the trophy home......oooooh yeah!

@5 I skimmed through all the videos, and all it has it Tokido playing Seth for one game in the last 2 minutes of the last video...

@2 It's a tactic used by pro players and some other highly skilled players. He's doing a 2-in-1 or buffering like you said. That way, if the low strong does manage to hit or counter-hit the opponent, the Hayate will hit him too.

Well from what I know non-EX dash punches aren't safe on block, so you actually gotta do it as a counter poke buffer. If they stick out a limb and you hit it you get a dash punch.

well, they dash punches are all very punishable except form max range light punch is not too bad... also a deep EX dash punch is actually punishable so a lot of it has to do with spacing, but just as a GENERAL rule yes, all of them are highly punishable except for EX dash punch (albeit exceptions)

@14, oh wow at minimum range it's -4, that's good to know.

They really need to either give Makoto a viable reversal or a SLIGHTLY faster walk speed (still should be the slowest or tied for slowest) if they decide to reduce her health by 50 and her fukiage damage.

Lol at the karakusa-less Makoto play!

Get in there and choke 'em, son!!

Tokido already played Seth in Super...just for fun/as a secondary charcter...so nothing new here.

funny to see mago playing makoto. I switched from Fei to makoto, and I'm also using color #6 xD

Tokido has always messed around with seth.

but isn't hayate cancelling possible only when you touch the opponent? or is it possible to shorten recovery frames of whiffed normals with it too?

#9 How is it a bad matchup? I never had a problem against Adon. In fact. Makoto is one of the worst matchups for Adon in my opinion. Makotos dash is an awesome weapon against adon
