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.

Strengths/Weaknesses

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)

2A is mostly used as a way to start your pressure. Stagger your 2As to catch people trying to mash out of pressure resets |
2B

One of only two moves in her toolkit that hits low. Can cancel into 5B. 2B reverse beats into 5A just like 5B. |

j.B
j.B | Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A really good air to air normal. It's one of the few air normals in the game that has a hitbox above the character, making it really good at hitting people higher up in the air than Makoto. If you're having trouble with a character trying to do stuff at super jump height, try using a rising j.B to hit them out of it. |
j.C

During the startup of j.C, Makoto will be lifted upwards before she comes down on the opponent. This lift upwards can be very useful for dodging well timed anti-airs from your opponent and then punish their recovery. |

Skills
Comet Cannon
Comet Cannon 236A |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. |

Makoto slides back and then forward, delivering a powerful gut punch. Like in Central Fiction, use this for corner carry and baiting your opponent. |

Very very good to call assist there because of Makoto's A's and infinite rush proration: 5A(AA)214AAA > assist > 5AAA5B[B] > PF is 9k minimum. Very burstable though unless you use Mai 4P. |

Extra Skills
Sirius Jolt
Sirius Jolt 236C |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
As stated above, this move is usable for combo extension and overall wallbang styling shenanigans but it is usually not worth the meter. The only combos where sirius jolt is useful is to active switch out from it in happy birthday scenarios to perform your partner super (that can happy birthday for more dmg than Big Bang Smash from Makoto and allows for Makoto dhc if you have the meter) but even then do you really want to use the extra meter? One more scenario is resonance solo happy birthday where you can perform 3 sirius jolt and resonance cancel the last one into BBS super for very good dmg and style points. 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. |
Lander Blow
EX Lander Blow C during Rush (Chargeable) |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
You can loop this move up to 2 times for a standing reset. Avoid at all cost using this move for combos unless you need an "emergency" link with 5BB21AAB > 5AAA5BB214AAC > 5BB because of hitstun decay that might fuck your combo (too specific, just forget this move in combos). |
Cosmic Ray
EX Cosmic Ray C during Asteroid Vision A (Chargeable) |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag
| ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. 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. |
Partner Skills
5P
5P Infinite Rush |
Template:AttackDataHeader-BBTag | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. 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. |
