lmao..that's fucked up
Kool. Never got to see that scrubby Kenshi.
okay here goes: smoke does struggle with most of the top 10, but he beats cyrax hands down (at ANY level) and he does great against that one freddy you might find during the entirety of your offline career lol. im not a down player but i DO NOT believe smoke is a tournament viable character. the reason being is because when we speak in terms of offline tournaments you should assume that there will be a couple kung laos and a decent sonya present. (not to mention kabroken) Wafflez i'm pushing to make that lao MU officially 7-3 because LBSH we all know it is. however, i do believe smoke makes an excellent tourney viable secondary.
i dont think he loses that bad either.. 6-4 sounds about right.. and you are on the money about fighting new reptiles..Cat is a great player and you have to look at several factors. In tournament, when you're playing a reptile you've never played before, reptile is better than he normally is because you know when to look for dashes, putting FB's on the screen. When you're playing a reptile training partner that you know, and you have a good idea of his tendencies...thats different.
Reptile doesn't go even with Kabal, that's not what I'm saying. He probably loses 4-6...but doesn't everyone lose at least this bad to him....lol
No, not atm. Finding a decent job here in Greece is really hard these days with all the BS going on around here.
Dude you read my mind and stole my line,I feel the exact same thing,plus my favorite main MU gets sufferible when he fights agaisnt a zoner.Every matchup is winnable unless it's a 10-0. Even then, there's a chance the player could outplay his opponent.
I really don't understand this North American mentality of "If I have a haard matchup, I'll counter-pick instead of levelling up my main". Like I have a hard time vs Kenshi with Sonya but do I run to Kabla? Fuck that! I work Sonya's heart-shaped ass until she can beat Kenshi
Rune traps FTW!
Do you seriously have smoke losing that many mus and CSz beating him? Your a trainwreck
So does Sonya. The matchups are definitely winnable for her, but most of the characters she struggles with are zoners. Hell, even Sindel can shut Sonya right down if the Sonya player doesn't know their anti-zoning strats.
Dafuq? I am 100% consistent with my resets. It's not that they're too hard off normal hits. It's that cyrax completely fucking wins the footsie game and pressure game. He beats smokeeverywhere on screen except fullscreen.
Well smoke has a faster d3 and more advantage on hit. (7 frames vs 9 for Cyrax and +3 on hit vs +1 for Cyrax) and smoke player love to d3. That's just an example tho. I believe smoke can out pressure Cyrax. I think its more even taking resets into consideration as well.
cyrax has a better down 4, better strings, pressue, a command grab and better resets. its not a terrible MU for Smoke but he does clearly lose. People gotta understand that smokes standing 2 has no range on it. its a great anti air tool but horrible for pressure. Smokes only true offensive attack is b2.....that only gets him so far.
