Stay out of grab range. If you're close, she will grab you because that neck choke thing is one of her best moves. If you're fast you can poke out of it or counter-throw, since the throw itself is slower than a normal throw (when you're counting frames).

You can focus attack absorb the Hayate (dash punch), it is not an armour breaking move. Which sucks, it'd be perfect for that. In any case, just like a bigger grappler like Zangief, you want to keep some distance from her if you can. Otherwise, it's just a match you have to play a few times. Makoto is quite different from most of the cast.
