Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike/Makoto

Overview Combos Matchups Strategy Resources Archive Page

Edit Introduction

Introduction

Makoto, a tomboyish Japanese teenager, seeks to restore her father's dojo to its former glory. She is one of the new characters introduced in SF III: 3rd Strike, based around a more traditional concept of Japanese Karate compared to Ryu/Ken's more supernaturally-flavored Ansatsuken.

Makoto is the first female Street Fighter to be tough and hard-hitting with just as much stamina as the average males (like Ryu and Ken), instead of being a "glass cannon" archetype. Although her normal walk speed is incredibly sluggish, she has the fastest dash in the game, as well as quick feints and overheads. Perhaps her best tool is the Karakusa, a unique command grab which can be comboed from, making way for devastating damage and stun. Put all of this together and you have a character who can survive long sets until her highly explosive fighting style can win with a single opening.

Super Arts

SA I (Seichuusen Godanzuki)

Highly recommended for beginners. It does excellent damage and has numerous hit-confirms, in addition to the guaranteed Karakusa ones. It is especially good if you can confirm it after Hayate and Oroshi. Weaknesses include lack of range and bad anti-air, but the first shouldn't be an issue if you combo into it, and the second isn't a big deal, as she has plenty of good anti-air normals. It also confers no positional advantage after hit, as your opponent is sent across the screen and often recovers before you will (some characters can even get a free punish if you hit them with it in the corner, most notably Dudley, Necro and Yang). Some top players use this super exclusively against all characters as it allows for fast punishes and is universally easy to connect with.

SA II: (Abare Tosanami)

High execution, high reward Super. A lot of its usefulness depends on your ability to land Karakusa (or the threat thereof), especially on your half of the screen, as it can be comboed into with HP after the Karakusa (or simply with HP to catch your opponent trying to jump away out of Karakusa reach. It is potentially the most powerful super in the game and can lead to 100% kill combos from full health using the Double Fukiage technique. For the most damage, you can use early MK Tsurugi, Fukiage, jump Fierce, but for the most reliable combo, use MK Tsurugi, Hayate, Hayate.

Makoto has 100% stun setups from Karakusa on almost everyone except the 5 characters with the longest stun bar (Alex, Q, Hugo, Oro, and Dudley) using the "Double Fukiage" (W-Fukiage in Japan) followup, but they involve an advanced kara-cancel technique on at least the first Fukiage (using neutral HK), and even more advanced methods against Oro, Ibuki, and Chun-Li (the Telesniper technique). Akuma and Remy, having the shortest stun bars, have the easiest 100% stun combo (the "Fukiage, HP" follow-up to the super), and can also be fully stunned with even a raw SAII using the Double Fukiage follow-up. Timing before the first Fukiage also varies greatly by character (Necro, Urien, Dudley, and Hugo very slowly, Shotos tend to fall moderately fast, and Yun, Yang, and Alex fall extremely quickly, for example). Also, it can 100% stun every character in the game if comboed into from jump HP, though this is highly situational.

The main downsides (aside from its usefulness being mostly tied to your ability to land Karakusa on your side of the screen) is that it has huge startup time and no upper body invulnerability on startup, unlike her other two supers. However, it can be used to counter fireballs from full screen, and throws even on wakeup (if you are actually unhinged enough to do this).

SA III: (Tanden Renki)

Obviously the last super of choice, this is more a "fun" super than a practical one. If you can get your opponent on the back foot and guessing wrong once or twice, you can get insane damage by the time the meter runs out. However, if you're on the back foot against an experienced player (while it's already active), you're pretty much screwed. It does confer temporary invulnerability upon startup with zero recovery time (with additional invulnerability if you don't press anything), so it's possible to use this as a one-time Get Out of Jail Free card, but it's likely to take you out of the frying pan and directly into the fire.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Some of the best stun accumulation in the game, between Fukiage (40-70%), EX Hayate after Karakusa (50%), neutral throw (25%), and SA2 (100%) Fastest and farthest forward dash in the game (11f startup), allowing her to maintain the threat of a command grab from almost half screen away, along with low profiling under high attacks Almost all attacks have great hitboxes and active frames with advantage on hit or block, allowing for pressure into Karakusa or confirms into SA1 Great mixup/pressure game with her scary command grab (Karakusa), fast overheads in EX Orochi/Tsurugi, and feints with Hayate and f+HK

Slowest walk speed in the game, meaning she has to commit to her movement options and has linear/straightforward offense Slow startup on many moves (and the slowest light attacks in the game) and no invulnerable reversals outside of SA1, requiring more work for defense Unusually wide hitbox can make her easier to juggle or combo for many characters (such as Yun/Yang's command grab followups) Lack of true lows for various ranges, especially at crouch MK range, effectively having only crouch LK, crouch HP, forward HK as her true lows Lack of a projectile (and projectile invulnerable options) makes it hard for her to contest neutral pressure

3S Frame Data Glossary
Active	How many frames a move remains active (can hurt opponents) for. Consecutive sets of active frames on a multi-hit move are separated by an asterisk (ex: 3*5). If there is a gap between sets of active frames, the gap is denoted by a number in parentheses (ex: 2(4)2)
Attack	Attack level is L for low attacks (must be blocked crouching), H is for High attacks (which can be blocked high or low) and M for overhead (must be blocked standing). T is for throw attacks (which cannot be blocked).
Cancel options	Available cancel options. "ch": Chain cancel (into itself or another light attack), refer to description for options. "self": Self-only chain cancel. Much more restrictive than a standard chain cancel. "tc": Target combo, refer to description for options. Successive attacks in a target combo may warrant their own move entry. "dash": Grounded dashes. "sj": Super jump. "sp": Special move. "su": Super Art.
Damage	Attack damage on hit in life points. Notation may denote multi-hit or "sweet spot" damage values on certain frames.
Hit/Block	These are frame advantage values when the attack hits or is blocked. If the number is positive, then the move will end before the defender can act again. If the number is negative, the defender will be able to act before the attacker and maybe even punish. D refers to knockdown on hit. "Cr. Hit" is an additional frame advantage value denoting if the advantage on hit changes when the defender is being hit while crouching.
Kara Range	Almost all normal attacks can be canceled into a special or a multi-button command within three frames of startup. During that time, some attacks will shift position forward or backward and affect the reach of the special or command accordingly. This is denoted in pixels of range. There are a handful of moves in the game that can be kara-canceled after this initial window and will be denoted as a late kara-cancel.
Link	A combo that is performed by inputting the second move after the first move has completely recovered (as opposed to cancelling the first move's animation). In 3S, the final frame of a move's hitstun allows a character to block a normal or special move, as well as some projectile supers. Therefore, an attack's frame advantage must be 2 frames greater than the followup move's startup in order to link. Ex: a +6 normal can link into a 4f normal/special, or a 5f super.
Parry	This field will show a value of A if the attack can be parried standing or crouching, H if it must be parried standing or L if it must be parried crouching.
Recovery	How many frames it takes for a move to finish after it's been active.
Startup	How many frames it takes before the move becomes 'active' or has a hitbox. 3S uses classic startup notation, which does not include the first active frame. A move with 3 startup becomes active on frame 4.
Stun	Amount of stun added to the opponent's stun bar on hit.
Throw range	Range in pixels from the center of the character to the center of the opponent which allows a grab to connect.

Unusually fast recovery (4f) for a medium attack; can be parried and still be safe from 10f attacks Possibly the game's best meaty normal, given its lengthy active frames and quick recovery. The fairly long start-up can making timing it awkward, but its extensive plus frames ensure that Makoto can threaten between the Karakusa and buttons, along with giving her, on hit, combos into HP hayate and SA1 (even as a confirm), and links into LK > LP hayate. It makes for a good anti-air as well, since on parry Makoto can cancel MP into a special, super art, or dash.

Greatly increases the range of all special attacks when canceled from, including the infamous kara-Karakusa. Can also be used to corpse-push opponents out of their throw range (but still within your karakusa range).

Can be used as a decent high poke (and catch jump-outs) but misses on most crouching characters. Will also lose to heavy attacks on trade due to priority system. This is also Makoto's best button for forward-moving kara-cancel (such as kara-cancel LP Hayate after EX Hayate in the corner).

Can avoid both low attacks and throws with proper timing and distance (except in the corner) Useful defensive and neutral tool (stuffs low attacks, high priority). It's also used as a reverse-movement kara-cancel button (SA2 W-Fukiage, spacing for MP+MK Universal Overhead to SA1, etc). Great for avoiding tick-throws after blocking opponent's light attack in close range. Can be linked into SA1 on certain characters.

Cancel options: sp su 3 kara range Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 11, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0. Long cancel window and significant active frames allow this to be used to cover a large area and hit confirm into hayate if it hits. Possesses long range and persistent active frames/cancel window, which makes it an ideal poking tool. Its cancelability into specials and supers means it doesn't suffer (as much) from being vulnerable to parries. Also moves Makoto's upper body forward from 1st frame of startup, which can cause some aerial attacks to miss (crossups, Ibuki's Hien).

Cancel options: sp su Makoto's fastest low poke. Usually reserved for mixups Combos into LP hayate, unless it hits at max range. A button used to punish those who block standing, especially during Hayate loops. Its best canceled into LP Hayate on hit to continue the mix, or into EX Oroshi to surprise any crouch blockers. Its immediate upper body hitbox retraction also allows one to avoid standing jabs entirely. However it is punishable by some characters (namely Chun-Li) on hit or block, if not canceled.

Self meter gain: Whiff: 2, Hit: 11, Block: 6. Opponent meter gain: Whiff: 0, Hit: 2, Block: 0. Does not hit low; can be parried high or low A good poke that Makoto uses to build meter. It lowers Makoto's hurtbox to the floor, giving it some use as an anti-air, and the extended upwards reach of the leg allows it to beat other cr.MKs. It can also be linked into SA1, allowing for a high damage punish. To top it all off, its +3 on block, allowing for constant harassment no matter the circumstances, though its nature as a mid can leave it vulnerable to being parried.

High-angle attack for anti-air, often recovers fast enough to be safe if parried The high angle of the attack, in combination with its relatively quick recovery makes this the ideal option for dealing with jump-ins from Dudley and Elena. It can also beat long-reaching Medium or Heavy normals through proper spacing. However, if parried/countered, leaves Makoto in crouching state (25% defense penalty).

On those air to air hits, it can be combined with a dash-in to extend pressure, and if done low enough, it can link into st.HP on hit.

A surprisingly useful mix up option for Makoto, as it can be kara-canceled into from st.HK, allowing for better hit advantage and spacing to beat out low buttons and potentially catch jumps. Much like the other UOHs, if done meaty, its plus enough to link into SA1 or cr.LK .

Makoto's only true reversal. First hit forces standing. Can be linked into from any Hayate on hit, but the super must be inputted on its last recovery frame. This move has additional recovery AFTER the opponent lands from a successful hit. If connected in the corner, the following characters have advantage: Dudley (10F), Yang (8F), Necro (6F), Twelve (6F), Yun (5F), Q (3F) , Elena (1F, cannot punish) Hits 2-4 have significant vacuum effect but may not be enough if the first hit connected on an opponent's limb Cannot juggle air-reset opponents

Makoto turns red and charges up while yelling, this phrase can be changed by pressing any of the punch buttons or all three at once Attack power increases by 75% but loses the ability to block (parry is still possible) Damage bonus stacks multiplicatively with Personal Action attack bonus (max bonus 284%) The darkened startup animation lasts for 80f, much longer than normal and allows for extra time for the player to analyze the opponent's current state Makoto is COMPLETELY invulnerable for 6f after startup and can extend invulnerability for an additional 15f by not pressing any button or direction Opponent cannot quick-recover when knocked down by an enhanced attack, except throws Lasts for 600f (10 seconds)
