Do not touch me again.
Seems a little too safe for my tastes (I'd like to see some dramatic 8-2 blowups), but you're a lot classier than I am :/

subzerosmokerai I've stickied the thread. I'd like to suggest closing the other matchup thread and making this the new official one. Up to you though :)
I do think we need a new MU thread, but we should keep the old one for archival purposes. I'll unsticky the old one and close it, but I don't think i'll move it to the Netherrealm.

Right, that's what I was getting at. :)

Delriach is absolutely the best Sindel I've played. I agree with that MU being 6-4, but I can see how it might be 7-3.
 
yep, both of those characters dont just rely on their GREAT zoning... especially lui... reptile can still abuse enhanced forceball as well
I feel that the liu MU all relies on how lame the smoke can be lol. As long as smoke stays back and builds meter, shaking everything, it can be tough for liu, but if liu gets in its tough for smoke. Very similar to the Cage MU I think.

noob beats smoke on wakeup w/ shadow charge and his up knee makes it difficult to get in at times, but i can see it being 7-3 fasho.

skarlet i am not too sure on... his sb follows her dash and there is absolutely no reason to block low seeing that you can just smoke port out of her wakeup pressure and avoid more dash mixups

Wafflez, I know you get to play Jeremiah more than any other Smoke player...but why do you think this is only a 6-4? I would have to say that it feels more like heavy advantage for Smoke. I still think that KL and Kabal 7-3 Smoke at the moment, but I could see them being 6-4 I guess due to the reset.
