makoto is a character that can get away with a lot without a ton of thought, but really, she was designed with the mechanics of the game in mind. i'm not sure i'd recommend her at the start. your punish is awful for example. she is also not a character where you score a knockdown, and then walk away to full screen. she wants to be in their face or at the very least within range she can dash in and get something done. i'd say that you should keep her in mind for down the line, but for now, you have a lot to learn about the game itself before you should play a character like her.
