Because your face would really hurt.
Tuxedo johnny defunetly wins best looking in my so classy for such a dirty fighter. who counters smoke? he is the ultimate counter pick hes anti zone, anti rushdown how u beat that? ermac is easily countered cause his specials arent safe on block and smokes normals are slow plus he has weak high/mid/low game but on punish can easily take 48 percent life with FK,D+FP,BP dash, repeat, smoke ball X-ray, and shake counters all projectiles ex shake counter everthing except x ray his teleport is invincible and invisibility can go through projectile when timed correctly. teleport punch is the fastest teleport in the game easily punished on block but no one good is goone through this outside of combos and fb punish smokes only counter would be raiden DEAR GOD RAIDEN…

Whether it’s believable or not is up to you 
Everyone knows that a series doesn’t really start until a team wins on the road. Heat did their job, they just need to protect the home court now.
Now something actually video game related, are you gong to host any sessions this weekend?
Several people are going to Augusta Super on Saturday. you thought about going yourself? To my understanding, CSII will be there
Smoke really isnt that bad. u just got to be patient against him. he hits people who are trying to skip essential fundamental steps to fighters pretty hard but if your patient, there isnt much he can do. I’ll let Simplekiss explain the rest since he seems to have a strong idea on why Smoke isnt that great a character but most of it is probably going to be criticizing smoke’s effective poke range and how his stuff is slow and easy to hit him between his swings.
At Brixx tonight to watch teh game. Peeps should come through. It’s in Sandhills.
pretty much this. Smoke has a lot of problems dealing with fast lows. For example, reptiles cr.4 is really fast and stops his strings. The thing with smoke is that you must realize that he’s mostly a counter zoning character, and he’s got plenty of damage to make you hate the decision to try and zone him. You’d be better off playing footsies. Furthermore, his smoke bomb is his only projectile, and it deals zero chip, so you can honestly sit back crouch blocking and dare him to approach.
His teleport is quick, but it’s a measly 8% damage, furthermore, all it takes is it to be blocked once, and you can do anything you want to him. All of his counters are beaten by lows, once again, so just sweep him and dare him to do something else. His smoke screen teleport escape thingy looks strong, but it actually is vulnerable while he’s actually moving as a cloud of smoke. His strings are difficult to deal with if you aren’t familiar with them, but he doesn’t have many good ones.
Block high. his strings that lead to bad things are all very slow, and can be interupted between them. Stand just outside of his string range. Once you accept that you can’t outzone smoke he becomes a gimmick character that can kill you with 45% but you can do plenty to never take it in a match.
He’s certainly an annoying character. But he’s kind of like the Sentinel of MVC3 without level 3 X-Factor: Once you get used to him he’s not going to do much and has no mixup.
Abuse Lows
From Full Screen, Just block and slowly approach.
Block High against his strings.
Don’t jump in, his teleport punch will always anti-air you.
Good stuff dude. You should repost this on the Reptile matchup thread on TYM, as we are currently breaking down matchups and haven’t started smoke yet. You could even add in some Reptile-specific stuff too if u wanted.
sooo… since CS2 is out on ps3 i was gonna run the tourney on that and was wondering if there was any platinum mains that have an objection. We’ll be playing on SDTVs and the corners being cut off in xbox version has come up as an issue in casuals alot.
my strategy for scorpion on that matchup is to get him to feel he needs to teleport and get him thinking that his normal bs wont work cause the minute i learned smoke i realized his normals are just too slow to really be just throwing out. most of the time. and yep u pretty much ansered my assumption on his how to play him since he really has only one good combo move. Just sayin for most people are and will have trouble with him, cause scorps FP beats out most his strings and the FPx3 dash FKx2BK combo damn stops any counter poke he has also last night i found out how to safe telepeort will explain later
Smoke my nigga
^ says that to all of the ashy brothers
< in your thread, spamming your d00dz
v has no idea what’s going on right now
been in the lab with kung lao and gotta say that he is a pretty cool character i like his hat tricks and stuff oh by the way i have trying ermac and smoke to see if they can safe port but they cannot so far scorps is the only one i can do it with to do it jump and wait until the last minute to port and and scorpion will instantly recover
profound sadness
I’m buying a box of slim jim’s to commemorate his passing away Although his commentary was hilariously bad, he still was one hell of a wrestler.
I’m getting my tires rotated and car ready for Augusta Super tomorrow. Can’t wait to see how SC does in each game. I’ll also need more practice in SF from someone who’s not gonna bs like I get 80% of the time and actually try.
@ Eskay: We need to get some last minute AH3 training tonight at Maddness. Stop working on that computer and play NAO!!
@Jaguar: I was intending to show up to madness. Theres nothing I can do for that computer until Sunday anyways
Holy shit, thats not something i was expecting to see at a time when my internet finally decides to cooperate and stay up longer than 5 minutes :sad:
New Srk. It looks cleaner.
