Smoke Thread - "Where There is Smoke, There is Fire!"

I figured out what the problem is.

It won't work with MK2 Smoke. Other costumes are fine.

So with MK2 Smoke, you get OTG. But you lose the damage reset.

A fair tradeoff. :p

Yeah, you're probably better off with the OTG. As far as I can tell the EX smoke ball maneuvers can be blocked...
 
some new combos i made up not heavy on damage but very useful
2 1, smoke bomb, 3 d1 2, 2 1 4 27%
3 d1 2, 3 d1 2, smoke bomb, j4, teleport 32%
 
I do have an X-Ray combo from mid-screen by 53% it's actually the same that you posted 50% 11 Hits: 3,D+1,2, (Dash), 3,2, (Dash), 3,2, Smoke Cloud, X-Ray Attack, but I start this jumping forward and hitting Square, so it adds 3% on the first hit
 
I have have few things to contribute with this thread (Sorry if my english is not so good, it's not my native language):

(1) (Mid-Screen Combo) 53% X-RAY Combo: 12 Hits >> j.1,3,D+1,2, (Dash), 3,2, (Dash), 3,2, Smoke Cloud, X-Ray Attack
(2) (Wall Combo) 43% Meterless combo: 12 Hits >> j.1,3,D+1,2 (Wait) 3,2 (wait) 3,2, Smoke Cloud, 3,D+1,2
(3) I'm not sure if right about this but on this thread are some combos that must especify that they are wall or midscreen combos, a few of them seems to be imposible to do at midscreen (i.e., 40% 13 Hits: 3,D+1,2, 3,D+1,2, 3,D+1,2, Smoke Cloud, 3,D+1,2)
(4) Some of the combos on the thread are just an incomplete version of another combo (i.e., 3,D+1,2, 3,D+1,2, 3,D+1,2). If the idea is to post parts of combos I can post at least 30 variations of my combos.
(5) And the last thing. Can anyone tell me how can you hit twice on air before the airthrow. I've seen a lot of videos where seem to be a double kick on air plus airthrow, but I can only do one kick and airthrow. Thanks XD

I just played against smoke as cyrax and I found it really difficult matchup. Is smoke overpowered at all or is there any tips to improve my chances in this matchup? I found smoke dodged and attacked all my projectiles and his moves hit quicker close. Also what is the best way to counter when a player jump kicks over your head back and forth and then throws or combos. I usually block the kick but the my attack is to slow and he jumps over the top of me again or combos me straight from the kick.
