===Backstory===
{{card|width=4
|header=Drive: Impact
|content=  
Makoto's Impact Drive allows Makoto to charge up some of her punches. When charged, the attack will be buffed, trading increased startup for better combo-ability and frame advantage.


Makoto is a squirrel beastkin very well known and liked by friends and acquaintences for her cheerful and energetic personality. She is one of Noel and Tsubaki's best friends, who she met during her enrollment in the Military Academy. After graduating, Makoto once worked for the NOL's Intelligence Division under Hazama. However, when she eventually learns the truth behind NOL, Makoto leaves the organization, setting out to find her best friend Noel after finding out about the danger she is in.
You can hold the button all the way and it will come out level 2, even if you don't stop holding. This allows Makoto to active switch and still use a level 2 Drive attack.

===Drive: Impact===
 
Makoto's Impact Drive allows Makoto to charge up her punches, dramatically increasing their strength. When charged to their maximum level, the properties of her moves will change, often giving them a lot more untech time or better frame advantage in other cases. There have been a few changes made to the charging mechanic in it's transition from the main BlazBlue series though. The charging on Makoto's Impact drive now only has 2 different levels that it can fall into instead of 3.
 
The following moves can be charged to make use of her Impact Drive:
* 5AAAA
* 5BBB
* Meteor Dive
* Break Shot
* Lander Blow (B Variation)
* Cosmic Ray (B Variation)
* Lightning Arrow
* Big Bang Smash
* Particle Flare (All three hits)

* Best poke
* Jump Cancelable
* Moves Makoto forward


Makoto's best poke. It already has decent range on its own but combine the fact that it moves you forward with the momentum of a dash and this button will hit further than it looks at first glance. In pressure, you can also aim to frame trap with this by delay canceling into it from 2A stagger pressure. Because it moves Makoto forward, it's best to do this when you are starting to get pushed out further from 2A range when an opponent will most expect an attempt to reset pressure and try to mash or jump out.  
{{clr|1|5A}} is one of if not, Makoto's best normals. It's a good poke in neutral, a great combo starter leading to strong damage and it's decent for starting pressure due to its cancel options.

Primarily combo filler but can be used as a {{keyword|frame trap}} and when done so, is an even better combo starter than {{clr|1|5A}}.
*Jump cancellable on hit
*Throw cancellable
----
Mostly the same as {{clr|1|5AA}} and can be used in the same situations.
----
Like most auto combo enders, {{clr|1|5AAAA}} is mostly used for Cross Raid. It's technically Makoto's best combo starter but due to its telegraphed nature and needing an assist to combo off of it, it's not worth going for.


Mostly used to confirm 5A pokes or frame traps. While negative, it's not negative enough to get punished on block, making it a safe spot to end pressure if you need to or a good place to frame trap an opponent thinking they can take their turn. It also doesn't have too much recovery on whiff either so you don't have to worry about getting punished by pushblock > stuff too much.

* Good for partner combos and ending combos in the corner.


Makoto's old 5D drive. If you're doing a partner combo, you can use your partner to combo after this and do a combo that should do about 7.5-7.8k. If you don't have an assist that goes far, you'll have to time your assist to hit just before the opponent gets blown away.

|description=
A very reliable {{keyword|antiair}} thanks to its early head invulnerability and good vertical range. However, it has high recovery making it punishable on whiff and when pushblocked. It also moves Makoto forward which gives it more horizontal range but can also cause it to whiff.


You can also use this as a combo ender in the corner. You'll get less damage than doing an air route but you'll also be able to more comfortably handle forward techs.  
{{clr|2|5B}} is important for combos thanks to its followups.


For Auto Combo usage, use the Level 2 version if you want to give yourself some breathing room before raw tagging out.
Can reverse beat into {{clr|1|5A}} making it decent for pressure if you're in range.

Important combo and pressure tool.


====== <font style="visibility:hidden" size="0">5B</font> ======
In combos, it slams airborne opponent into an {{keyword|OTG}} state allowing for {{clr|1|214AA}}{{clr|2|B}} loops. However, when {{clr|2|5B}} is used as an anti-air or burst punish, you might have to delay {{clr|2|5BB}} to get them low enough.

|description=
* Very reliable Anti-Air with a good amount of vertical reach
* 5-14f head invulnerable
* Launches on hit


Because the head invuln kicks in pretty early, Makoto's 5B is a very reliable Anti-Air to use on reaction to punish attempts to jump in on her. It's also capable of launching grounded opponents on hit, allowing her to extend her combos for good damage, even without the help of a partner.  
On block, you can do a high/low mixup with {{clr|2|5BB}}>{{clr|3|5C}}/{{clr|3|236C}} and if you think the opponent will use a reversal, you can use a backwards air dash to avoid it.
*Jump Cancelable


This can reverse beat into 5A.

* Follow-up to 5B. Slams the opponent onto the ground.


Mostly used in combos. The downward hitting strike makes it possible to combo into Infinite Rush and it's followups. If you're comboing into this from linking 5B on an airborne opponent, make sure you link the 5B when the opponent is lower to the ground or else this 5BB will whiff and they'll drop out of the combo. This move can also reliably cancel into Sirius Jolt (236C) for a wall bounce

|description=
Unlike most Blazblue {{clr|3|5C}}, Makoto's is in the "Slow but Safe" category. It has decent range and is a good mixup tool when combined with {{clr|3|236C}} since they both have 26 frames of startup, make a sound effect and make Makoto flash making it easy for the opponent to confused the 2.

2B reverse beats into 5A just like 5B.

A good fakeout for opponents expecting the normal version. A basic but effective mixup is to do the feint version on the opponent's incoming attack and then do a strike/throw mixup. The startup makes it reachable so like with the normal version, don't overuse it.

* Good for controlling space defensively


A very important part of Makoto's neutral game. Makoto places a projectile orb in front of her. The projectile is multi hitting and active for a good amount of time, allowing it to hit people out of both ground and air approaches, unless they use a very disjointed normal. Strategically using to stop approaches is going to force your opponent to be more cautious and slow down the pace of their approach, allowing you to play your spacing and footsies game more comfortbaly. At the same time, the multiple projectile hits are good for negating lower level projectiles and protecting Makoto and can force the not full fledged space control characters to have to approach Makoto instead of trying to keep your out.  
It's also important for combos thanks to the follow up, Break Shot

;Level 1
* Great for extending combos in the corner
This version is mostly used in specific corner combos in order to not lose the corner. Outside of that, it is mostly outclassed by the level 2 version.
* Great for controlling ground space
*Launches the opponent away
* Level 2 blows back and knocksdown
----
;Level 2
This version is an amazing combo tool as it allows Makoto to perform Comet loops which do great damage. This move is also a great combo ender as it lets you perform a safejump which can catch all tech directions and even setup a sandwich with an assist.


Detailed description of the usefulness of the move go here
The main problem with the level 2 version is that depending on multiple factors, it can result in you losing the corner when done there. As such, it is typically preferred to do an air combo with {{clr|2|5BBB}}.

An additional movement option that's useful for neutral. It goes further than her normal forward jump but is lower to the ground than her super forward jump. When combined with her normal movement, {{clr|2|214B}} is a good way of mixing up your approach. However, it still carries risk as Makoto can't block during the move so it may best to cover it with an assist.

It's also good for pressure as when combined with an assist, it can easily set up a sandwich and also punishes a down backing opponent as the assist will hit cross up when timed right.

A occasional mixup tool. It's the least used version due to the arc it goes at but it can trick an opponent expecting a cross up with {{clr|2|214B}} + assist although this is somewhat gimmicky.

It can also set up a pseudo-safejump on the opponent's partner's incoming attack. By whiffing {{clr|1|5A}}>{{clr|2|5B}} to get the right timing, do {{clr|3|214C}}>{{clr|3|[C]}}.

* Good for extending combos midscreen
* Wall bounces. Wall splats in the corner.


As stated above, this move is extremely good for combo extension and overall wallbang styling shenanigans, but it can also be used as a safe way to end a blockstring. This move pushes most enemy characters out of range of their own normals on block and could be used as a way to bait out button presses for you to punish with a reaching assist such as Noel's 6P, Es' 6P, or Gordeau's 5P. As far as this move is considered,  either they block it low because they know what to do against Makoto (never block high against a Makoto main) or they screw up and block high, in which case you get a free combo.
Outside of that, it can be situationally used as a reset or a mixup tool when combined with an Active Switch.

Serves no use in combos as the damage is never worth it and it can be hard to combo into in the first place.
*Can not be blocked by a standing opponent, Crounching and airborne opponents can block normally.

Makoto can also use it for a standing reset in combos by either stalling the hitstun scaling or by delaying the attack. Outside of that, it's never used in combos as usually the damage isn't worth the meter.
 
Finally, in Resonance Blaze, Makoto can create an "infinite" blockstring that the opponent can't escape without push blocking or until Makoto runs out of meter. You can also do it during your opponent's Resonance to stall the timer.
*Charging the punch has no particular effect outside of creating a gap in the blockstring.

A great neutral tool and one of Makoto's main uses of meter. It has faster startup than even the uncharged version, is always plus regardless of distance and leads into a damaging combo with {{clr|1|5A}}. This version is just an enhanced version of the meterless one and can be used in most of the same situations. However it still lose to the same things like projectiles and jumping so just like the normal one, don't get reckless with it.

The extra skill version of Cosmic Ray is the old Level G Cosmic Ray from BlazBlue. It's plus on block like Level 2 Cosmic Ray but it's startup is a lot faster compared to Level 2 Cosmic Ray since there's no charge time. When well spaced, it's a great way to close the gap in neutral. On hit, you can link 5A to convert it into a full combo. On block, you can start pressure instead.
It can also be used after a counter hit {{clr|1|5A}} as a high damage starter, usually leading to a 8-9K combo.
 
Much like the other versions of Cosmic Ray, EX Cosmic Ray is vulnerable to people jumping so make sure to time this for when your opponent is playing more grounded or when they're landing from jumping around.

* Great lockdown and pressure assist
* Good for extending combos against grounded and low to the ground airborne opponents
* Final punch launches on hit


Her best assist. Infinite Rush does multiple hits on block or whiff, moves Makoto forward as she does it and travels 80% of the screen. These are really good for multiple reasons. In neutral, the multiple hits are very good for either confirming into a combo or locking down an opponent so you can dash up and starter pressure, especially when used in combination with tactics your point character can use.
It also keeps the opponent in hitstun for a long time giving your point time to follow up. However, it can whiff against opponents higher in the air, in those cases use {{clr|5|4P}}.
 
*Makoto will use {{clr|1|214A}} until she gets close to the opponent or reach its maximum range before performing the actual attack.
In pressure, the multiple hits are useful for locking down an opponent to allow you to go for one good mixup. Because Makoto moves forward such a great distance during the skill, it's both resilient against pushblock and good for keeping an opponent locked down so you can dash back in after being pushblocked out. Unlike other lockdown assists like Jin 6P or Chie and Kanji's 4P, it doesn't pushback the opponent when they pushblock it midscreen either so it's pretty useful anywhere on the screen for your pressure.
 
It's also nice for combos since the final punch of Infinite Rush is untechable until the opponent touches ground. Combined with the multiple hits, you'll have plenty of time to follow up your combo with whatever you desire. However, it only hits closer to the ground so keep that in mind. For opponents that are more airborne when you need to extend your combo, consider doing Makoto 4P instead.

Makoto's {{clr|5|4P}} is very unique as it can combo into itself during Cross Combo without any help from your point. This lets your point perform completely burst-safe combos by holding down back and spamming {{clr|5|4P}} and when Cross Combo is about to end, finish it off with an enhanced super. When they're in low health, this can put your opponent in a lose-lose scenario. Either they let their point die or they use burst to save them only to get punished with a high damage combo.

Makoto's astral.Flashy but not the most practical since makoto's assists aren't very good plus her meter it better spent on EX cosmic ray to help her in. Best way to combo into is 5BB and 214AAB. I recommend the second since the cancel window is better.Always do the LV2 version though.

The BBTag wiki has major gaps in information. The game has gone through numerous significant changes since its release. As a result, many BBTag pages on Dustloop Wiki are out of date or lacking important information.

We need your help expanding the content for this game. If you have knowledge to share, or know people who can help, please contribute to the wiki by editing sections where you can.

Overview

Overview
Makoto is a rushdown character that uses her fast normals and forward moving specials to enforce her will. Once in, she makes use of frame traps and tricky special moves to maintain pressure and eventually open up the opponent.

Pros
Cons
  • Strong poke (5A) that leads into very good damage
  • 5B is an effective anti-air.
  • Unusually narrow hurtbox which causes her to drop out of some combos
  • 9f dp that is the fastest in the game.
  • Relatively lackluster assists.
  • Poor ways to contest at long ranges.
  • Her strong moves have many flaws, including her Reversal, 236C, 236A, and 2C underperform or outright fail in many cases.


Drive: Impact

Makoto's Impact Drive allows Makoto to charge up some of her punches. When charged, the attack will be buffed, trading increased startup for better combo-ability and frame advantage.

You can hold the button all the way and it will come out level 2, even if you don't stop holding. This allows Makoto to active switch and still use a level 2 Drive attack.


Normal Moves

4A

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln
1000 All 5 2 11 -1 B

4A is Makoto's fastest normal making it decent for mashing out of blockstrings. However, due to its short range and it whiffing on crouching opponents make it outclassed by 2A in most situations.

Will hit crounching Mika, Tank, Hakumen, Tager)

5AAA 1700 7 6 24 -11 B
5AAAA 2000 All 11 3 31 -13 B

5A is one of if not, Makoto's best normals. It's a good poke in neutral, a great combo starter leading to strong damage and it's decent for starting pressure due to its cancel options.

  • Jump Cancellable
  • Moves Makoto forward
  • Throw cancellable
  • Long Active frames for a 5A

Primarily combo filler but can be used as a frame trap An offensive technique where the attacker leaves a small opening in their offense, goading the defender into performing an attack. This opening is designed such that the attacker can easily counter the defender's attack with their own. and when done so, is an even better combo starter than 5A.

  • Jump cancellable on hit
  • Throw cancellable

Mostly the same as 5AA and can be used in the same situations.


Like most auto combo enders, 5AAAA is mostly used for Cross Raid. It's technically Makoto's best combo starter but due to its telegraphed nature and needing an assist to combo off of it, it's not worth going for.

A very reliable antiair This keyword does not have an entry in the Glossary thanks to its early head invulnerability and good vertical range. However, it has high recovery making it punishable on whiff and when pushblocked. It also moves Makoto forward which gives it more horizontal range but can also cause it to whiff.

5B is important for combos thanks to its followups.

Can reverse beat into 5A making it decent for pressure if you're in range.

  • Can be canceled into 2B and back into 5B

Important combo and pressure tool.

In combos, it slams airborne opponent into an OTG The act of hitting the opponent when they are knocked down. Short for "off the ground" or "on the ground." state allowing for 214AAB loops. However, when 5B is used as an anti-air or burst punish, you might have to delay 5BB to get them low enough.

On block, you can do a high/low mixup with 5BB>5C/236C and if you think the opponent will use a reversal, you can use a backwards air dash to avoid it.

Makoto's primary launcher for staircase combos.

Unlike most Blazblue 5C, Makoto's is in the "Slow but Safe" category. It has decent range and is a good mixup tool when combined with 236C since they both have 26 frames of startup, make a sound effect and make Makoto flash making it easy for the opponent to confused the 2.

Makoto's primary jab for abare An attack during the opponent's pressure, intended to interrupt it. as although 4A is faster, 2A hits all crouching characters with is a fair trade-off.

It's also a great pressure starter thanks to its cancel options. It's good for staggers and for tick throws.

2B

1500 Low 9 3 15 -1 F

One of only two moves in her toolkit that hits low making it essential to mixups. Even outside of mixups, it's a good pressure tool as its low recovery makes it safe on pushblock, letting you make moves that normally aren't safer.

  • Cancels into 5B and back into 2B
  • Reverse beats into 5A

2C 1700 Low 30 4 12 +3 F 6~23 HB

2C is a decent bait-and-punish tool letting you go right through attacks. However, its long startup makes it high-risk/high-reward so be careful when using it.

It's a decent roundstart tool against people who don't know Makoto can do this but against experienced opponents, it's not worth the risk so don't overuse it.


A good fakeout for opponents expecting the normal version. A basic but effective mixup is to do the feint version on the opponent's incoming attack and then do a strike/throw mixup. The startup makes it reachable so like with the normal version, don't overuse it.

  • Has a shorter duration than the normal version.

  • Whiff cancellable to j.AA

j.AA is mostly used in combos, either as filler or to hit confirm of j.A. If j.A is blocked and you are high enough in the air, you can mix between j.A. and empty jump 2B.

  • On air counterhit Hitting someone while they are in the startup of an attack. In some games counter hits get enhanced by dealing more damage and giving more frame advantage, which can open up new combo possibilities., it has very long untech time, enough to land and combo.

A basic and mediocre DP Dragon Punch A move that has invulnerability during its startup, long recovery, and a rising motion.. It's the fastest Reversal Action in the game allowing it to beat some safejump A very well-timed jump attack on a character who is rising from a knockdown. Your goal is to attack extremely close to when you land so that, if the character performs an invincible reversal attack, you will land and be able to block. The opponent is then forced to block your jumping attack, since reversaling doesn't work, which will give you some nice pressure and hopefully an opening.s.

However It has a short range making it easily outspaced by disjoint, it can be low profile When a character's hurtbox is entirely beneath an opponent's attack. This can be caused by crouching, certain moves, and being short. and there is a glitch in the active frames where the hitbox disappears and reappears which can allow the opponent to land and block it. All of these combined make it very risky to use so be extremely careful when using this DP.


The version is mostly used as a combo ender to Makoto's air combos. Although it is invincible, it should never be used as a air-to-air due to the risk/reward.

A combo ender used to get a knockdown after Corona Upper. There's pretty much no reason not to use it and no reason not to use the level 2 version either.

There are two ways you can input this move:

  • hold A and D ([A+D])
  • tap A+D, press A again and hold (A+D~[A])

The first one is faster and easier to perform but gives worse oki and should only be done if you're worried about the follow up whiffing.

The second one gives you better oki since Makoto is lower to the ground and should be the go-to method.

Comet Cannon

700×3 All 14 69 Total: 44 -3 P

Comet Cannon plays an important part in Makoto's neutral. She can use the orb to hinder the opponent's approach, forcing them to be more cautious and letting you play your footies game more comfortably.

It's also important for combos thanks to the follow up, Break Shot

  • Wont Happy Birthday unless the opponent is on top of the orb.

Break Shot is a crucial part of Makoto's combos as it allows her to launch grounded opponents and lets her perform combos that could only be done on airborne ones. It's also one of Makoto's few fullscreen options.

  • If the opponent pushblock the orb, Break Shot will still push it despite being away from it.

Level 1

This version is mostly used in specific corner combos in order to not lose the corner. Outside of that, it is mostly outclassed by the level 2 version.

  • Launches the opponent away

Level 2

This version is an amazing combo tool as it allows Makoto to perform Comet loops which do great damage. This move is also a great combo ender as it lets you perform a safejump which can catch all tech directions and even setup a sandwich with an assist.

The main problem with the level 2 version is that depending on multiple factors, it can result in you losing the corner when done there. As such, it is typically preferred to do an air combo with 5BBB.

  • Wallbounces the opponent.

Primarily a mixup tool during a sandwich when combined with Active Switch as the start is almost always long enough to have a gap. Outside of that, this is Makoto's least used special and for a good reason as it has little utility.

  • Has invuln during the move but it is not frame 1, don't use it as a reversal

214A

A key move for Makoto's combos and pressure thanks to the follow ups. This version sees little use in neutral on its own as you're usually better off just running at them.

  • one mix with it can be trying to sideswap unexpectedly by forcing a ground tech (video)

214B

An additional movement option that's useful for neutral. It goes further than her normal forward jump but is lower to the ground than her super forward jump. When combined with her normal movement, 214B is a good way of mixing up your approach. However, it still carries risk as Makoto can't block during the move so it may best to cover it with an assist.

It's also good for pressure as when combined with an assist, it can easily set up a sandwich and also punishes a down backing opponent as the assist will hit cross up when timed right.

  • Useless in combos
  • you can perform j.C at the far end of 214B (and 214C)

214C

A occasional mixup tool. It's the least used version due to the arc it goes at but it can trick an opponent expecting a cross up with 214B + assist although this is somewhat gimmicky.

It can also set up a pseudo-safejump on the opponent's partner's incoming attack. By whiffing 5A>5B to get the right timing, do 214C>[C]. It's not universal and be negated through delay incoming but it can help maintain momentum. Video Example

An important combo and pressure tool thanks to the follow ups. Sees little use on its own. It can be used during a sandwich when combined with an Active Switch due to hitting thrice but this is somewhat niche.

Level 1

A strong combo extension tool. When done on an airborne opponent, Makoto has enough time to link To perform a second action after the first action completely finishes its animation. 5A. This lets her get good damage, has better corner carry than Comet Canon loops and can be done anywhere regardless of screen position. However, since they can only be done on airborne opponents, this limits how often you can do them.


Level 2

This version can lead to a damaging combo on hit and completely reset pressure on block. However, it will always have a large gap which makes it very risky and should only be done once you've built respect by doing frame traps with 214AAC and even then it's usually not worth it.

A good neutral tool for closing the gap and approaching the opponent. Its speed and range make it good for starting your offensive. However, it will lose to projectiles and long range pokes and can be dodged simply by jumping. As such, don't throw it out recklessly.

You'll mostly want to use the level 2 version as the extra damage, distance and frame advantage make the longer startup worth it.

The foot invuln makes it good against characters whose main poke are lows( like  Neo's 2ABBTag Neo 2A.pngGuardLowStartup6Recovery14Advantage-2) and it can also be used to counter pushblock and get back in.

  • Frame advantage changes depending on distance. Can be plus on block when spaced.

A glorified low that is mainly used when combined with 5C. They both have the same startup, cause a sound effect and make Makoto flash which makes it easy to confuse the two.

Outside of that, it can be situationally used as a reset or a mixup tool when combined with an Active Switch.

Serves no use in combos as the damage is never worth it and it can be hard to combo into in the first place.

214A > A > C 2200 All 12~36 3 11 +7 B

An amazing pressure tool thanks to its frame advantage. Makoto can use it to completely reset and extend her pressure which can also lead to strong strike/throw mixups. By intentionally delaying the move you can make a 5f frame trap which makes it a decent mixup tool.

Makoto can also use it for a standing reset in combos by either stalling the hitstun scaling or by delaying the attack. Outside of that, it's never used in combos as usually the damage isn't worth the meter.

Finally, in Resonance Blaze, Makoto can create an "infinite" blockstring that the opponent can't escape without push blocking or until Makoto runs out of meter. You can also do it during your opponent's Resonance to stall the timer.

  • Charging the punch has no particular effect outside of creating a gap in the blockstring.

A great neutral tool and one of Makoto's main uses of meter. It has faster startup than even the uncharged version, is always plus regardless of distance and leads into a damaging combo with 5A. This version is just an enhanced version of the meterless one and can be used in most of the same situations. However it still lose to the same things like projectiles and jumping so just like the normal one, don't get reckless with it.

It can also be used after a counter hit 5A as a high damage starter, usually leading to a 8-9K combo.

A good combo and lockdown assist thanks to its multiple hits. It can lockdown the opponent for one good mixup and because of how far Makoto will go, it's also resilient against pushblock.

It also keeps the opponent in hitstun for a long time giving your point time to follow up. However, it can whiff against opponents higher in the air, in those cases use 4P.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery On-Block Attribute Invuln

4P is a good combo extender assist as it causes a ground bounce and puts the opponent into an OTG state, giving your point plenty of time to follow up. It's also good for catching opponents trying to chicken block Jumping into the air and blocking rather than standing on the ground and being forced to guess a high-low mixup. Loses to air unblockable attacks such as BBTAG's Reversal Actions.. However unlike most 4P's it can't be used as an anti-air.

Makoto's 4P is very unique as it can combo into itself during Cross Combo without any help from your point. This lets your point perform completely burst-safe combos by holding down back and spamming 4P and when Cross Combo is about to end, finish it off with an enhanced super. When they're in low health, this can put your opponent in a lose-lose scenario. Either they let their point die or they use burst to save them only to get punished with a high damage combo.

Here are 2 characters specific ways 4P can be used.

Fullscreen punish tool, occasional combo ender and surprisingly, a combo extender.

Level 2 version hits almost fullscreen and is invul from frame 1 which makes it good as an anti-zoning tool and vital in certain matchups like against  Nu-13.

It can also be used as a reversal in cases where DP and 214B+ C would whiff although its slow startup makes these scenarios niche.

It can be used as a combo ender in Happy Birthdays and as a combo extender in the corner as when cancelled into from 5BBB or 214AAA, the opponent is high enough for Makoto to recover and link 4A to continue the combo. Outside of Resonance, this is mainly done when your assist is dead and it will kill. However, in Resonance Blaze you can do 236B+C multiple times letting Makoto get 10-14k combos in the corner.

  • Charging the move doesn't actually increase the startup so you have no reason to ever use the level 1 version.
  • Can be used as a starter to punish Linne dp since she goes so high up in the air Video example You can technically you can do this to more characters if you hit them high in the air.

Makoto's primary reversal and combo ender super. The level 1 version has five frames of startup which like her DP can let Makoto get out of certain safejumps. It also can't be low-profiled like her DP. It still has short range so it is pretty risky.

  • Can be looped if you don't do the 3rd part. Doesn't add that much damage but can stall time
  • If you hold the button, all three parts will come out as level 2 Video Example

  • unlike 236[B+C], it can pick up from the ground
  • although UNINTENDED (because of the punch animation glitching), you can charge this by holding B for a delayed hit
  • Can be used for double super setups and can make unsafe supers safe. A good DSD all year round

  • Invincibility ends before active, so this can trade. Will not KO in that case
  • notice the increased startup when not charging, which is counter-intuitive

Makoto's astral.Flashy but not the most practical since makoto's assists aren't very good plus her meter it better spent on EX cosmic ray to help her in. Best way to combo into is 5BB and 214AAB. I recommend the second since the cancel window is better.Always do the LV2 version though.

  • When opponent is too far, total duration is 5+(90 Flash)+40 [5+(90 Flash)+28], invincible from 1F until last 12F
