makoto wake up options when someone tries a focus attack
I find quite often that people will repeatedly try to charge a focus attack as youre getting to your feet.
What wake up options do I have in this situation as Makoto?
The only thing that ever works is Ultra 1.
I realize that EX moves will beat the focus on wake up but Makoto doesnt have any quick EX moves other than EX dash punch which just isn't quick enough. Someone please help me cause I'm sick of jumping back when I dont have my ultra charged.

all wakeup specials that can connect before they go active breaks ex-armor, so if you wakeup with dash punch, it'll break armor. Also the Focus Attack swing (unless its a level 3) isn't armored so it's free for counter-hit if they're mid-swing on your wakeup. If you've got meter ex.grab will absorb the hit and grab. Makoto's backdash is gdlk, as long as you're not backed into the corner, her backdash will avoid most meaty jab O/S sweeps. If you're talking about meaty focus attacks, then you can wakeup focus attack and backdash/release, and if they're charging lvl 3, just backdash and ex.dash punch when you recover. You can also wakeup ex.chop, that loses to meaty throws though.
