[CS2] Makoto vs. Tager

Recommended Posts

In the absence of pro advice, I offer some halfbaked commentary.

I don't feel that this matchup changed too much from CS1. jC still really good when you're above him, character-specific combos still there, still more susceptible to resets than most of the cast. He has more tricks in his bag to remember/deal with though.

His Gadget mixup feels more powerful but IDK for sure... he can make her DP whiff with some of his lows, not sure if that happened in CS1. Using 3C against him is more of a no-no than it used to be, although you can still yomi his 5D(largely when magnetized) and spark bolt with it if he isn't sitting on meter and you time them correctly.

Mak's 5B and 6A largely means he's not at a great advantage taking to the air unless he catches you sleeping. Ending strings with the new AV C to escape doesn't seem to be that safe(especially when magnetized; I think his Atomic Collider catches you now?). 6C is still good for keeping his spacing attempts uncomfortable.

Also like the rest of the cast Tager haet 2A. I'm pretty sure he can still IB/720 it legit though, even with the IB nerf.

one thing to note in this matchup is that while magnetized and in the air, if he tries to do the move where he catches you in the air and slams you to the ground(sorry i am bad with move names), or goes for the reset from the combo, j2c will send you flying across the screen( a flying squirrel!), safely avoiding the move and putting you on the offensive again.
