Tech - Smoke Problems with Smoke I discovered today

While playing with Smoke today online I discovered some issues that need addressed. I was playing online so they may be online issues only.

Liu Kang can low profile Smoke's d1 with his d3.

Ex phase is NOT invincible. It's a terrible wakeup, rarely works anyway, I believe this might be due to the down input doing a small wakeup delay which means a wakeup attack doesn't work. When it does work, it definitely flashes, I keep getting hit out of it.

While playing a Kung Lao I was getting full combo punished after db1 which is -6 by a normal string into combo, not by his spin or another special. Unless Kung Lao has a 5 frame normal now I'm unaware off.

Has anyone else experienced these issues?

Feel free to correct me or tell me something I am doing wrong.

Problems with Smoke? Sometimes B3~Smoke Bomb doesn't connect sometimes (not all the time) and it's hella annoying because it costs me rounds because I get punished for doing the NJP. Like wtf I need consistency.

This kept happening to me at the start, it connects but doesn't combo. Hasn't happened for a while. I even tweeted @PND_Ketchup and @UsedForGlue about it and then thought I imagined it.

Starting distance is max range for b3. A bit in front of that (1 step or 1.5 step in front) b3xxdb1 will not connect. Its a really weird range.

That would explain why I haven't had the issue lately. Only been using it in the vortex which would be at the sweet spot range.

Off-topic as far as Triborg is concerned but... I had Shinnok's F4 get low profiled by Takeda's D4 in casuals yesterday.

Didn't I make a post of this and got blown up?

Now everybody is realizing I was right? Gotchea.

And b1 either cancels into smoke bomb or it doesn't. If it doesn't, make it so...if it does, make it so. Idgaf if it does or not, I'll adapt. But the grey area pisses me off
 
I look at it like I have to hit confirm whether the smoke bomb hit, Im more focused on begging for a armored move, he cant get off the floor
