Dude, im moving to florida next week. If i can get a ride to orlando im going to CEOGamer, now you need to get your ass over here from Puerto Rico or Florida or whatever, and hit a major. lol.
Smoke army is rising. A new era is upon us.
after watching the matches, xsmokex played really great against REO. That combined with a few lucky breaks almost produced a win over REO. most notably REO's failure to hit confirm almost every single time off of NDC pressure and the random ass jump in punch on the round that was flawless. Sometimes you just gotta say fuck it and go for it and it worked out.http://www.twitch.tv/torontotoptiers/b/318840536
5:05:00 is the beginning of their set, got yo back Gooby.
thats like... the entire cast.DOUBLE POST
this match also CONFIRMS how bad this MU is, not debunks it.
RM_xSMoKEx can play nearly perfectly and Kabal does a bunch of stuff wrong and smoke still loses.
only most of the cast, and really only against REO.thats like... the entire cast.
Yeah I feel the threat of that damage was the only thing that kept REO from sitting on that meter for :en wakeup spins and just armoring through xSmokex's block strings.after watching the matches, xsmokex played really great against REO.

After the second match REO got scared of getting hit because of how much health he lost off the double reset, instead of the other way around where after the first match I get scared to do anything against Kabal. It's all about first impressions.
I TOLD YOU ALL HE NEEDS THE RESET.
Tim, with all due respect, Smoke has proven himself as an extremely talented player.Great. Like I said, get this kid to other tourneys and let him shock the world.
Uhh.. Chris G got 2nd @ PowerUp. I'm not discrediting PowerUp nor anyone's placement outside 16bit's; but your extremely rude argument here is rather void.yea but no one was saying about IKizzle or m2dave what they did about xSmokex. You are correct but no one else ever said it until you did. Then again, Justin Wong didnt get Top 8 at those tourneys (so what if he wasnt at those tourneys? lol). Good shit, Canada. -_-
NEW TECHAny other Smokes have to change their pants when he used Smoke's b1, 4 to end his combo?
Haha! Thanks Jimmy for cheering me on. Awesome casuals in the beginning, without those idk what i would have done. I think you helped further condition my spacing against VIDA and NeoRussel for the later matches.Huge props to RM_xSMoKEx,
What a great kid, Had him and Reo in my pool, and after playing xSmokex for a about 40 mins before the tourny started I new he was gonna do well.
Major props for being so young and holding your shit together on the main stage tonight too man, we were cheering you on hard man, and you just kept it coming.
It's hard enough for a guy like me to get around to tournys, i can't imagine it will be that easy for him to get to another one that soon, but we all seen what your capable of, and it's great for the MK community man.
Good Stuff man!!! glad you and your buddy made it out, glad we got matches in
Baraka vs. Smoke is 5-5 anyway lol. But yes, REO could take Kano and win a major(and that would be an accomplishment, trust me....)Too many posts to like in this thread, I'd be here for days lol.
And for everyone complaining about Kabal, it isn't Kabal, it's REO. Trust me when i tell you he is unique and a truly skilled player. If REO played Baraka he would still be amazing. He just happens to use a good character.
Kabal is the best, no doubt, but don't discredit the man. He earned it just like anyone else.
Not with CDjr in the wayBaraka vs. Smoke is 5-5 anyway lol. But yes, REO could take Kano and win a major(and that would be an accomplishment, trust me....)
devBy the way, when's the last time anyone remembers Reo getting Flawlessed?
Your humility and modesty sickens me.Too many posts to like in this thread, I'd be here for days lol.
