Para los makoteiros, entrevista de varios TOPS japos sobre los personajes, pongo el de mak:
KSK: Next, SSFIV characters. How is the Third Strike cast?
Nemo: I’d like to recommend this character: Makoto.
KSK: Ah, Makoto. She seemed very weak in Super. How about this time?
Mago: I haven’t been paying attention so I dunno (laughs).
Nemo: She’s scary. You’ll probably get deflowered by her (laughs). [He actually says "baptized," but I think deflowered works better, if I'm understanding him correctly.]
KSK: Deflowered (laughs).
Mago: It’s scary getting combo’d after Fukiage.
Nemo: Fukiage -> Fukiage -> EX Axe Kick works. Also, you can Ultra 1 if Axe Kick connects on the ground. While beating grabs, and with the Ultra, her power is high, too [???].
Mago: Also her command grab (Kara Kusa) has changed too. Before she only had armor [on EX, I'm assuming], but now she has armor and throw invincibility.
Itabashi: Huh? Armor and throw invincibility? What the hell (laughs).
Nemo: And Fukiage is now upper body invincible, and also beats cross ups.
Itabashi: Right, right. When I tried to do wake up games on her, I got hit by Fukiage. ESTO ES AAAAMAZO!!!
Nemo: You can cover both sides if you throw it out there on wake up.
KSK: So Makoto is really good. Is she upper tier material?
Mago: Hmm, but she doesn’t have much maneuverability, so doesn’t she seem more like a wait-character? She waits for her one chance, then throws everything out there in a flury.
Nemo: No I think she can cut it. She’s just does so much damage…
Mago: The opponent can’t get in on her, she does so much damage. And when things stiffen up, she can dash in command grab, or throw out an Axe Kick. That’s how it seems to me.
KSK: EX Hayate now breaks armor. Can’t you just throw it out there to get in?
Itabashi: Like Boxer’s Dash Straights. And it’s super fast. How is it on block?
Nemo: Maybe -4 frames? And plus she has 1000 health…
Mago: 1000? That’s messed up.
KSK: Her dash and back dash have gotten faster, too.
Mago: Wow, that’s too much.
Nemo: I told you.
Mago: Wow, Makoto is really something, huh?
(Everyone laughs)
Itabashi: But on the ground isn’t her walking speed really slow, and doesn’t she have poor reach?
Mago: A one dimensional[?] character.
Nemo: Yeah but she can come after you regardless.
Mago: OK, I get that you really like Makoto (laughs), but she’s not a well rounded character, right?
Nemo: I think she’ll become well rounded. If you play her once, you’ll see.
Itabashi: If you confuse the opponent with her speed, they could become helpless, get dizzied and die.
Mago: No way she’ll be stable. Not in this game.
Nemo: OK, so you’re just mad[?] at Makoto, aren’t you?
Mago: Yeah, probably (laughs).
