Strategies
Overview
Work your entire game around the karakusa/landing the abare tosanami. Use standing jabs to poke jump-ins, dashing under after the hit. This sets up for low LK-hayate, throw/ techs, or karakusas. This will become predictable, so keep it fresh. Jumping MK is the all purpose air and anti air attack. Jumping HK is great for swatting down jump happy combatants.
Basics
Makoto is a medium weight, rushdown grappler character with the objective of being aggressive. From a simple crouching 2-in-1 LP Hayate to a Karakusa combo starter, she must charge a Super Art Stock as soon as possible and then land it for a high possible Stun combo.
She had good pokes but zoning her out due to her slow walk and bad dash animation can be an easy objective for poking focused characters like Necro and Twelve. Try to approach your opponent with Hayate and jumping on it

Mixups and Okizeme
Makoto's okizeme and mixups are arguably the strongest ones in 3rd Strike, it does not mean they are simple and/or easy to grasp. For jump-ins it's easier to grasp them using j. (jump), nj. (neutral jump) and dj. (diagonal jump). Each option has its framedata, however, for making the list easier and shorter to read the framedata contains 'normal blockstun and hitstun ~ best meaty blockstun and hitstun'. Terminologies: "sjc-able" means "super jump cancellable", the move can cancel the first frames of the super jump, making the character unthrowable for few frames. Example: 2147p for sjc orochi Instant air ex tsurugi is doing ex tsurugi as low to the ground as possible, by inputting the super jump and inputting the ex tsurugi motion, no trick behind it. Example: 28214kk or 2963214kk
NOTE: The order of the options listed is: Punches Kicks Type of the move (light, medium, hard) Tick karakusa (if possible) UOH (Universal Over Head) Ex moves (if possible) Instant air tsurugi (if possible) Super
Remember, these are the most optimal AGGRESSIVE options, but the master of war Sun Tzu once said: "Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.", meaning being aggressive all the time will lead you to defeat. Never understimate guarding and backdashing.
