Hello everyone… thank you all for watching and making our episode 1 show a success.

Please post all your questions here to make it easier for us to find during the show. Also keep the character specific questions related to the 4 characters listed below. General questions are always welcome… Thanks
Week 2 character Lineup:
Kitana
Sub-zero
Sonya
Kano
Order of events:
Coverage of all question threads (mku/tym/srk)
Character specific strategy and tips with live or previously recorded game play
Last episode you mentioned crossup jump punches were the best defensive option in the game.
I have to admit I have a problem against offensive players doing this. Not necessarily over and over again but I don’t seem to find a reliable answer to this. Care to spare some wisdom? I know an answer might be character dependant, but what can most characters do against it?
As far as the thread goes, try to keep character specific questions to the chosen characters for the week. However, if you are in the stream chat during the show, you can ask whatever u want at the end. We always dedicate a little time to answer the live viewers questions. Make sure u tune in!! and Thanks for watching guys.
I know character-specifics are supposed to be limited to the chosen 4, but I missed the first week, so if you guys have time to address this, I’d appreciate it:
Tom seems to think very poorly of Smoke (that he’s very basic, not particularly threatening, no deep potential, etc.). In games like SSF4 (for example), even the most basic characters (Ryu) have lots of depth and mastery potential. With all Smoke’s movement options, he SEEMS like he’s very adaptive and mind-game oriented. Are there specific reasons why Tom seems to feel this way about him? Is Smoke really that one-dimensional and impotent? If someone wanted to be a “high-level” Smoke player with a deep and versatile game (able to compete with skilled players using top-tier characters), what would they want to master? Preferably, all answers would take into account how he’ll play post-patch (we know he’s losing otg smoke bomb, but is he gaining anything?).
Thanks, guys!
P.S. - His “spotlight” the first week felt pretty weak, so if you guys are ever inclined to “re-do” it, that’d be awesome!
Could you explain Toasty Boost a bit more and give an example of when it would work?
Second question: This one is just a hypothetical, but what would you think of them putting in The Great Kung Lao as a DLC character, like a what-if character?
Tom tends to avoid directly explaining anti-Sub-Zero strategies when asked, even though he offers them for other characters. Since this is THE Sub-Zero week, could he please give a little insight on specifics for fighting him? Thanks guys!
