Fukiage



Fukiage is one of Makoto's special attacks. Executed by pressing forward, down, down-forward and punch, the attack is simply an extremely forceful punch straight upward. Unlike many other "anti-air" attacks, this attack does not hit an opponent jumping at Makoto; only opponents directly above Makoto can be hit with this. This is somewhat compensated for by the fact that certain versions have her step forward a bit first - the stronger the punch you use, the further she goes forward. However, it is still difficult to hit the opponent with. As such, its use is extremely limited; however it is useful for juggling in combos and deals a large amount of stun when it does hit. Additionally, it is a perfect counter to an opponent's attempted cross-up. There is an EX Special version which has her move forward the most.
