« MAKOTO'S KARA-KARAKUSA IN SUPER STREET FIGHTER 4 »

So, while Magus1234 and I were practicing Super Street Fighter 4 before 1UPs Game Night, I was convinced that there was no Kara-Karakusa with Makoto but he mentioned any command normal you can FADC, you should be able to use for a kara. So, he found F+LK with Makoto had this property and was able to pull out a kara-karakusa, although it was extremely hard to do. I posted this finding on SRK and those who had access to the game confirmed it worked. 

Since then, a video has shown up, and I assume this is the European Makoto player, Sharin, performing the Kara-Karakusa. You'll see it increases the range of the Karakusa enough to make it most likely be able to grab the opponent after a Hayate and in a number of other situations. Again, keep in mind this is really difficult to do, much more difficult to perform than a kara-karakusa in Street Fighter 3, but if players can master this it will help her game immensely.
