Makoto Nanaya is a short range rush down character for those who favor offense. She has good run speed and fast pokes. Makoto’s Drive, Impact (インパクト, Inpakuto) is chargeable up to three stages, but timing is important, as waiting too long will weaken the attacks, sending them back to stage 2 and 1 respectively. At maximum charge, it dishes out higher damage, as well as wall bounce properties and/or prolonging the opponent’s recovery time, opening up combo options. Several of her moves are rather deceiving as well. Her special move Asteroid Vision (アステロイドビジョン, Asuteroido Bijon) makes three images of her as she rushes towards her opponent, which can be canceled to a dead halt, appear behind the opponent or to attack. Her normal attacks can be sly as well. For example, her 3C attack causes her to spin on the ground feinting for a sweep a couple times before the actual kick.

Making full use of her Impact demands some degree of timing, as most combos with her demand that the player consistently hits the maximum charge level. Makoto excels in her standard high/low mixup game, and deals good, solid damage all around. Makoto’s only projectile, the Comet Cannon (コメットキャノン, Kometto Kyanon), is great at putting chip damage on blocking opponents, and can combo into a throw if quick enough. That being said however, the main focus of her gameplay is her Asteroid Vision. This links into many different moves, so her opponents will have to guess whether to block high or low. Overall, Makoto is a very easy character to pick up and play, and is one of the best (if not the best) rushdown characters in the game.

Makoto’s Overdrive is Galaxian Impact (G(ギャラクシアン)・インパクト, Gyarakushian Inpakuto), which temporarily makes all Drive attacks Level 3.

Drive

Input	Japanese name			English name			Damage	Heat gain
any direction +	インパクト Inpakuto			Impact			--	--
	While D is held, the Impact meter appears above Makoto’s Heat Gauge. Meter fills rapidly then depletes upon hitting the maximum. Three levels of charge. Level 3 is most powerful and most difficult to hit. Level 3 extends untechable time and Fatal counters. Level 3 also has strong use with combos. Once the Impact meter has filled and depleted, Makoto defaults to level 1 Drive. Makoto will stop charging and do nothing if D is held for too long.

Input	Damage	Heat gain
	500 (Lv. 1), 750 (Lv. 2), 1000 (Lv. 3)	180 (Lv.1). 270 (Lv . 2), 360 (Lv. 3)
	Charges up, then punches straight forward. Level 1 has short range and keeps opponent standing. Level 2 has more range and damage, and more combo options but still keeps opponent standing. Level 3 has most range and damage, but cannot combo with anything midscreen unless the use of heat meter. So its mainly used as a combo ender midscreen. Puts opponent into groundslide on hit. Breaks guard primer on block. Level 1 and Level 2 are speical cancelable.

Input	Damage	Heat gain
	600 (Lv. 1), 800 (Lv. 2), 1000 (Lv. 3)	216 (Lv. 1), 288 (Lv. 2), 360 (Lv. 3)
	Charges up, then lunges forward with an uppercut. Main midscreen combo tool. Level 1 has least range and short launch. Level 2 has more range and higher launch with combo options. Level 3 has most range and very high launch with longer untech time. Breaks one primer on block.

Input	Damage	Heat gain
(in the air)	500 (Lv. 1), 750 (Lv. 2) 1000 (Lv. 3)	180 (Lv. 1), 270 (Lv. 2) 360 (Lv. 3)
	Makoto charges up in midair, then punches straight forward. Level 1 has shortest range and does not knock down. Level 2 has more range and knocks down on hit, while also being able to cancel into Corona Upper in a combo. Level 3 has most range and puts opponent into groundslide on hit. This version now wallbounces opponent on hit in BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma and onward. Breaks one primer on block. This move keeps her in the air for the duration of the charge allowing her to think about her next move. However, be careful as Makoto is extremely vunerable to anti air moves while in this state.
