a lot of people saying cdjr winning with different characters but the truth is, the guy is picking characters with undiscovered potential and jax wasnt low tier from the beginning. not to discredit him but, its not like hes winning with baraka.
what i dont see a lot of smoke players do is
- ending d3 12 after the 1, people respect the 2 that comes after it so they wont do anything and if they do you can mix them up by doing the whole string.
- anti air teleport on jump in cross punches(on reaction)
- smoke towards against cage( cages strings are all frame advantage, but let jc players think you will block the string while you smoke behind him, 90% of the time he is still doing his string which is guaranteed smoke bomb hit)
- smoke towards with with sweep(use d1 anti air in case they jump over you) as follow up, mix it up with b2,3. and if they are really good with fuzzy guard try grabbing.
Just what i do with smoke and havent seen others doing, sweep has to be taken in consideration with smokes mixup game, he has a fast one and I really think people should start using more normals that are character specifically good, like JC's uppercut or mileenas d4
BTW you can build meter with him by jumping backwards and doing air grab, do it the moment when he almost lands, this way the animation wont come out fully and he will still build meter.
