BANALITY
Hey everybody! I was thinking we need a thread where we can discuss fun tricks with Smoke. Here are a few I came up with:

1. The teleport punch is good for defense as well as offense. Use it right before your opponent does his/her projectile or immediately before the impact of their teleport punch.

2. Use the smoke cloud, then air throw.

3. If you get the timing just right, when your opponent is in the air, you can punch them in the air and then immediately air throw. It's hard to do though.

4. Smoke towards your opponent to avoid projectiles also.

And I have one question: What is the point of the shake move?

If you find any neat little tricks or kombos with Smoke, post them here :) i'd also like your feedback on the tricks i have.
 
Low kick, down with lowpunch, high punch. This combo opens to a lot of juggle opportunities, can be used in combination with a lot of smoke's stuff.

The shake move is a projectile trap. Time it for when your opponent uses a projectile and when the projectile hits you, you will immediately teleport above your opponent and hit them.

Smokes moves are all pretty dang useful, it just takes time discovering the appropriate times for his moves and how they can be strung together with combos and juggles.
 
All of smokes moves are very useful!!

using the enhanced "shake" move parries ANY attack..even punches and kicks...


i started playing as smoke yesterday but nearly everyone i beat complained about me :
choosing "noob" character
Someone said i was spamming 3 of my moves (3!?..how can call it spamming if you are using multiple strategies/counters etc.?.)

It seems you get called just for being smoke :(

A simple jump kick when they're on the ground then air throw also works...

Lol I had the same problem. I spent some time practicing with Smoke and then decided to take him for a spin online just to see if I'd made some real progress.

I drew a match against a guy using Kabal. I used two different combos for ~20% damage (I'm still getting the hang of big-ish combos), none of which involved special moves. I used his teleport punch to keep him off-balance, threw a couple Smoke bombs to keep him off-balance, smoke'd (don't remember what that move's called) past him when he got too aggressive, and used a couple grabs when he clammed up near the end. I mixed it up as best I could and what did I get for my troubles? A rage-quit as I started inputting my fatality and a message calling me a "n00b-move spamming *****" lol. I used a character I liked and he didn't play very well, not my fault.

I did the same thing the next game and the guy had a mic in. He *****es about how n00b-ish Smoke is and how brutally he'll beat me with Ermac (I love Ermac, but you're really gonna play as him and call me a n00b?). He lost and said I got lucky.

Two wins that I felt I earned and I get ragged on lol. I got my ass handed to me by Reptile next round, restoring balance to my W:L ratio, but it still made me scratch my head and laugh.
 
first i have to say that smoke is one of my most favorite characters in this game, if not the most favorite.
secondly, a combo i use very often, is: i jump and then press Y near him, causing him to hit the ground and then jump up, then im doing X,X,Y combo, then enhanced smoke cloud, then before he hits the ground i do X,X,Y,B combo,and then enhanced teleport punch. does alot of damage.
