If you're playing online you're going to have a hard time punishing dash. You can shake all of his projectiles, but watch out for Reptile baiting shake with slow forceballs. I use 2 1 Smoke bomb to punish reptile dash, followed up with like 3 2, 3 d2 1, 2 1 4. You can punish slide with the same combo or start a 3 d1 2 one. I think the fight is 5-5, you just need to be quick on punishes.
Yeah, not sure how to really say it, but you know how sub zero's slide is a "low crush" and goes under certain fireballs? Well I figured I could use f4 in the same way as a "high crush" i guess, and avoid d3's and other very low hitting moves. In addition smoke jumps slightly when doing f4 so he completely avoids jax gp with it. But the move is so goddamn slow that I just have trouble using it effectively in footsies
If he throws out a slow FB, punish it with telepunch, not shake. He can bait shake.
play mine ;_;
Pick a rush down character with good mobility, they give him a lot of problems.
I wonder if 214~exsb is stance-specific like 112~sb in the corner? I always just hitconfirm 214 into teleport punch midscreen, sometimes invisibility if i'm feeling cheeky.
214~ex bomb connects. I think hit confirming to ex bomb to get a launcher is more of a situational thing. If it is early in the match I would probably just hit confirm into telepunch and play the oki game or just smoke away. If you can use it to close out a round or game then yes definitely do it.
I am pretty sure it isn't stance specific.
Yep but with this game who knows lol wouldn't shock me if I had missed that
Haha, ya man exactly... I would have normally just said it isn't stance specific but all the weird crap in this game had to make me take pause for a second.
It's all based on timing. Basically, you have to learn the rhythm of when exactly to do the f4~EX Bomb. Usually you want the f4 to hit them when they are falling and around smoke's waist height. Practice it a bunch and you'll start to discover it on your own, that's honestly the best way to learn it. There isn't really a magic trick to get it every time. Because, trust me, WE'VE TRIED TO FIND ONE haha
Can anyone tell me what Smokes 90% reset is?
The reset is never "Guaranteed" nor is it a "50/50". It all depends upon your level of execution.
You'll get used to it eventually. It takes a lot of getting used to, but there will come a point where you can play online and offline matches without having to adjust. I can perform just as many combos online as I can offline, even the tricky ones. That took a lot of practice, but you'll reach there eventually. Take this from someone who's only good at execution in this game
