Question - Smoke best characters against smoke

[MKR]

Guys could you please tell me which characters are good against Smoke?

 

[RevetLeafing]

Kobu Jutsu Tanya

 

[Alright RyRy]

Smoke is kancer

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Grandmaster Sub

 

[omooba]

Grandmaster Sub

how?!

 

[MKR]

how?!

yes how?

 

[Tanno]

yes how?

Smoke has a lot of flaws that GMSZ can beat.

The Smoke Out and the Skydrop Attack can be freezed spot on with Ice Klone. His Smoke out can also be hit (noticed that when I wanted to do D4xxIK).

If he throws at you the smokeball, then you block low to avoid it, and if he does the skydrop attack, you block high.

If you do the Ice Klone and stay inside the klone, while ducking, you're very safe from both of the above attacks.

Pre-patch, Smoke used to pass through the Ice Klone with Skydrop Attack with armor. Now, it's no longer doable.

I did beat my friend's Smoke from 6-1 to 6-6, meaning 5 consecutive wins.

Smoke has no options in the corner is how, phase does him no favors.

 

[21122]

Crystalline Tremor

 

[Tanno]

He has only one option. To wallrun at the same time his opponent is about to attach him, except if he notices him and do the NJK.

 

[M.D.]

Obviously Grandmaster since it's beyond broken now.

 

[THTB]

GM gives him issues due to clone. Midscreen it's not as troublesome, but once Smoke gets cornered...you better get the lube and hope you don't prolapse. Cuz that booty destruction is going to be major.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Sub's corner klone setplay is probably more effective against Smoke than any other variation in the game.

Blood God. *cough*

What's he gonna do? lol

Oh duh he never even crosses my mind as a legitimate threat so I forget BG is even a thing for Sub because nobody wants to try that. Kotal in general gets raped by Sub now.

What everyone already beat me to, definitely GM. Can't db4 = frozen. In corner can't phase = frozen. Since smoke has no armor , you will be raped in the corner by GM subs big ice klone penis.

Smokes db4 never had armor.

Is smoke's slide punishable? The one where he can delay the 4 after? I think you can only block and try to poke after. So basically he gets in for free.

Yes it is punishable by reversal or kounter if your frames are faster than his block disadvantage. Idk about the delay tho.

 

[Wushu Warrior]

Smoke isn't that good... he's got a lot of gaps and anything armor beats him.

Yeah the secret to beating smoke is our 8% armor moves

Kobu Jutsu Tanya

Why? Just curious. Is it her armor?

 

[Tweedy]

Kung Lao and Sub Zero.

 

[God Confirm]

Mileena by far

 

[Aris_adapted]

Sub-Zero, Takeda, Kung Lao and possibly Liu Kang

True. I did beat my friend's Kotal Khan in all of his variations. I heard that he got nerfed quite a bit.
