I agree 99%. The piano roll technique will up your consistency quite a bit. If your connection is halfway decent (and you can tell fairly early in the match) its not hard to do online consistently. BTW, I'm on wifi in Canada and I hit it ALL DAY. I say go for it at least once id you feel your connection is strong enough. YOLO.
I wish i could play more often online but we have a very VERY bad connection here... max 2500 kbits... when i want to start a combo... it doesnt work.. every input has a 1 second delay..
1 and 11 are both zero on block, and they are extremely hard to tech. B14 is zero on block as well, but the startup of B1 makes it kind of worthless unless you are finishing a juggle with it. 1 has a lot of startup frames as well, so I personally mix it into jump in pressure. Smoke's entire game is predicated on initiating his offense off pokes that offer excellent hit advantage, and capitalizing on anti-air opportunities for people forced into jumping so they can either punish smoke bomb or avoid it.
Take out 112 and you're good.
d1
should it be: d1, d1, SB.
From what string/combo? What position on the screen?
mid screen and i been trying it with basic combos and then i went with longer combos i just cant get it to work
ok may bad but ok midscreen soon as you start practice and settings non really just default and the combos i used is
,
+
,
, ,+, ,+, smoke bomb ,+, then i try the rest but it dont work so wat am i doing wrong
ya, I find it to be easier with just 2 smoke bomb instead of 21~bomb. Just a timing thing but I get the reset way more that way.
I actually was not sure which to tell him; 2 or 21. I prefer d4~bomb (i use to use b2 but I gave d4 a second chance and prefer it now) but I figured if he's already used to the 2 up to that point, might as well stick with it. Consistency > 1-2% damage, especially with smoke when you're already getting 70%+...
yeah but ok i have it going now im playing now but i have it and i wanted to ask i saw this somewhere i forgot but what about 213 reset well it can be blocked i use that in some of my combos but would it be classified as a reset or no???
No because it can be blocked. Only resets off of a f4~EX Smoke Bomb are true resets.
Ya, I was doing 21 forever and hit the reset a decent amount of the time, but then switched back to 2 because I hit it way more. Probably something to do with the gravity of the opponent on the way down with the way I walk into the F4 reset. Also the 21 might push forward a bit more so it could mess with the spacing. In any case, it makes sense to try 2 21 d4 and use whatever works best because you are totally right who cares about 1 % when you are losing any sort of consistency.
