yeah, kinda like how Cammy's hooligan combination works. You get an overhead, low, grab and cancel.

I very much hope that this is the case. A slow telegraphed unsafe overhead teleport seems almost unusable without a cancel or mixup option. If it is like hooligan then I'd argue that its better since Smoke can't get hit out of the air during the approach.
It isn’t useless at all, just might not be very useful in neutral. Would be cool if it was somewhat similar to JP’s overhead portal move in SF6. Where it can either be an overhead projectile or he can TP through the portal. Maybe it can explode doing damage, or he can use it to teleport as shown. Or maybe he can use it to teleport at any time while it’s in the air. But, we’ll just have to wait for more info.
I think it is:
Yeah but that could also mean you have fixed close, mid and long range option. It could also mean it's just a side switcher that tracks on it's own like Rain's B14 in MK11.
He looks amazing. I’m actually glad they didn’t show much of his combos. It’s gonna be fun exploring all his combo routes along with working on all his mixups especially with mixing the Kameos in.
Exactly! Or the opposite where you throw out a Kameo with an ambush pop up overhead and pair it with the low teleport. Crazy possibilities.
Agreed. I was a bit worried because I’m going to main him regardless if he’s bad or not. So them not showing much in his reveal trailer I was nervous. But after this KK, I’m ecstatic! His redesign seems to be perfectly done. I just need confirmation on if his smoke away/towards cancel costs meter. 16bit never said if it did or not, and of course in the breakdown they were using infinite meter in training mode. But in the match footage it didn’t show it taking meter either, but it makes the sound effect like it does when you do use meter. Plus, NRS typically is allergic to giving a character any sort of cancel without making it cost meter.
Yup, his main playstyle has always been to annoy you with his evasiveness and mobility, dating all the way back to when he was first introduced as a playable character in UMK3. And it’s precisely the reason he’s always been my favorite MK character, so I’m really glad that the redesign captured what makes him Smoke.Smoke, as always, just like god damn hella evasive , and pretty much ultra super dangerous with his lot of options to in and out
That new teleport, with low kick + dragon punch is hella sexy move !
Impressive his moveset; he will be fun and very good to play, and ultra annoying to deal with , hehe
after the scorpion discussion we had, i instantly thought this might be your mk1 main over him.
Yeah, my #1 main will be Smoke, then followed by Scorpion.
Nahh I think you're on to something Holmes
