Playstyle
Smoke is turtle style character that has to be played very patiently due to his slow strings that have bad recovery on whiff. Use his d4 to start pressure or try make your opponents whiff and punish them with b23 or smoke cloud when you have the life lead run away while building meter with smoke away, shake, and smoke cloud.
Pros and Cons:
+ Massive combo damage
+ Cant be zoned
+ Great pokes that rarely get blocked because of his fast overhead
+ has one of the best whiff punishers in the game with smoke cloud
+ great at meter building with smoke away, shake and smoke cloud
- Slow dash
- can't zone
- no armor
- slow normals
- high hitbox
Specials
Smoke Cloud:
One of the best whiff punishers in the game. Also great for building meter. When eight smoke clouds are blocked you build one bar of meter. When blocked up close you can only be punished by 8 frame attacks
Smoke Bomb(EX):
This move has a bigger hitbox than smoke cloud and does chip damage. Ending combos with f4 smoke bomb will give you guaranteed reset.
Teleport:
Fast two hit teleport punch that can done in the air. This move hits high then mid does 1% chip damage and is a wake up attack. A good use for this is to hit people out of the air who try jump in anticipation of a smoke cloud. You can also whiff this teleport to get in after a breaker and at the end of all combos.
Smoke Port (EX):
Does more damage than smoke port and ends with an extra hit that hits overhead that does an extra 1% chip damage. The first hit can still be interrupted by down pokes.
Smoke Towards / Away:
Teleport that goes through all projectiles after the 6 frame start up both specials are wake up moves that can be used as a tech roll on wake up but they can both be stuffed by a well timed normal.
Phase Towards /Away (EX):
This teleports you further than smoke away and cant be stuffed on wake up and is great escaping for the corner. Note - if you are at right against the wall and use this to escape pressure you sometimes re appear back in the corner
Shake:
Projectile parry that gives a knockdown on hit. Can be cancelled by dashing or by jumping forward or backward twice.
Vibration(EX):
This will parry projectiles as well as high / mid attacks and some specials.

Invisibility:
Turn slightly invisible for a period of time. You can end combos by doing smoke cloud f4 invisibility and still have enough time to either whiff a teleport or throw a smoke cloud.
Vanish(EX):
Turn completely invisible for a period of time. Not really worth the meter but if you want you can use is it to try confuse your opponent into whiffing something.
X-Ray
Very slow and unsafe x-ray that has armor. After a smoke cloud hits you can land an x-ray for unbreakable damage. You can also use this to beat jump in punches but not jump kicks as they can react to the x-ray after the jump kick and block.
Strings
B23 (Overhead, M):
Fast overhead launcher that has good range and can only be punished by 8 frame attacks. You can finish the string with a smoke cloud which will hit anyone who tries to punish b23.
B23~smoke cloud can be interrupted with armor or jumped out of. You can also let go of block and walk forward to make the smoke cloud whiff. On block you can hit confirm into smoke away. When ending this string with smoke away you are in perfect position to anti air or b23. B23 phase away can only be punished by fast advancing specials*. You can counter an opponent who tries to punish this by using Ex Smoke away this will cause certain specials** to whiff.
* shadow kick, blade charge, shoulder charge, superman
** shadow kick
3d12 (M,M,M):
Safe combo starter. After this is blocked following up with d1 will Anti Air if they try jump out. 3D1 can be interrupted with a just frame x-ray.
214 (H,H,M):
Smoke fastest string that can be hit confirmed into 214 Smoke Port mid-screen or 214 Smoke Cloud in the corner you can also hit confirm into 21 Smoke Cloud from a jump in punch.
On block this string is neutral and has small pushback. After this is blocked you can try bait out pokes by walking back and whiff punishing with b23 or you can also check them by finishing the string with smoke cloud.
Normal's
D4:
12 frame low used to start pressure. Neutral on block. When this hits a standing opponent following up with b23 can only be interrupted with an armored move. When they respect the b23 you can come in and throw, 214 or d4 again. In the corner if d4 hits another d4 is guaranteed and can't be jumped or armored out of.
2:
Smokes best anti air. Can also be used to set up a mix up as it recover fast.
D3:
7 frame low poke gives that lowers your hit box and gives you 1 frame of advantage vs a standing opponent and 8 frames of advantage if it hits a crouching opponent.
D1:
Smoke fastest normal at 6 frames. Great for for anti airing cross overs.
B2:
Neutral on block and advantage on hit. Can be used to anti air deep jump kick attempts or you can go for a mix up after its blocked.
D2:
Slow uppercut with good horizontal hitbox . Combos in the corner.
On block is +2 and pushes you back to d4 range.
B4:
Safe sweep with good range that give you a knockdown on hit.
F4:
Slow advancing normal that is completely safe on block and has pushback. On hit this knocks your opponent to full screen distance.
Mix ups and Set ups
D4 / B23:
Overhead head/low mix up. The d4 hits low and gives advantage and b23 hits overhead and combos.
When d4 hits a standing opponent following up with b23 Smoke Cloud can only be interrupted with armor. If they try jump out of this frame trap the b23 will hit but the Smoke Cloud will whiff. To maximize your damage when your opponents try to jump out of this frame trap you can hit confirm into Ex Smoke Bomb or use b2 then d1 Smoke Cloud.
The best way to set up this mix up is from a jump in punch or after a d4 hits. You can also attempt this mix up after a standing 2 or b2.
D1/D3 wiff punish set up:
this set works well on players who like to try and counter poke.
After d1 / d3 hits you get some pushback allowing you to walk back or back dash to try and whiff punish any counter poke with b23 or smoke cloud.
214 / 214-Smoke Cloud:
when 214 is blocked your opponent is forced to guess whether or not you are going to end the string with 214 smoke cloud which jails. If they respect your smoke cloud you can follow up with
When blocked you can dashback and punish any block string your opponent tries to land on you with smoke cloud or b23 you can also shake cancel after f4 to bait them into doing the block string however this can be punished by fast advancing specials you can do the same shake cancel set up with d4 as well.
D1/D3~Smoke Cloud:
Used to punish anyone who try's to counter poke your d3's and d1's it can be interrupted by most mids but its very hard to punish and worth the risk.
Air Throw set up:
This is the best way to end most combos unless you want to keep them in the corner. After this un-techable air throw lands do not whiff a tele like most smoke players do unless your opponent likes to stay grounded after the the air throw hits or when you want to switch positions. What you should do is either one full dash which puts you in perfect b2 range or do two dashes the first dash being a full dash and the second dash being a mini dash. After you do this you are in perfect range for d4 and b2 which cant be jumped out of. Another thing you can do now is cross them over or smoke towards ( only use smoke towards to go through wake up attacks). The great thing about crossing them over is you will make a lot wake up attacks whiff unlike the whiff tele set up. The crossover jump cannot be neutral jump punched or jumped out of. When they try jump out you get a guaranteed air punch if they stay grounded after the cross over you can pick them up with a deep jump kick and be at advantage.
Ghetto Reset:
In the corner you can get your ghetto reset by ending any corner combo with smoke cloud 3d1 then go straight into 3d12.
Punishing Wake Up Attacks
Any time you land an airthrow you can punish a lot of wake up attacks and some that you wouldn't normally be able to punish by dashing forward after the airthrow hits then use smoke towards to go through the wake up attack and punish. Here is some of the wake up attacks you can punish.

Punishment Guide
Kung Lao:
Blockstring Pressure:
All of Kung Lao's strings except for b33 and b12 can be interrupted by d3, d4, d1 and d2. even after kung lao hits you with a f3 or d4 and then then try's to follow up with his 11/21 strings you can interrupt him with your low pokes.
You can also full combo punish Kung Lao's 11, 21 and 24 strings. First you have to no when he is going to use these strings. Most Kung Lao's will try to use these strings after he hits you with a f3 or when you block his 1121 or any of his strings like 11, 21 etc which all leave him at 0 frames. If you know for sure that Kung Lao will try to continue pressure by using 11, 21, or 24 you can interrupt any of these strings with 21 ~ smoke cloud. What you do is stay crouching and let go of block wait for the 1 or 2 to whiff then punish with 21 ~ smoke cloud. The only thing you are opening yourself up to by not blocking is a spin, a down poke or b33 which can't be hit confirmed into spin.
Teleport:
The best way to punish tele is with standing 2 it will easily beat the tele to delayed 3, the 2 and the 4 EVERY TIME the only thing you have to worry about is sometimes the instant 3 will hit if you are not quick enough. Once you establish that you are going to punish the tele with standing 2 you are forcing kung lao to go for more instant 3's instead of the delayed 3 and when he does this you can punish the instant 3 by crouching under it to make it whiff and then AA with d1 to d1 smoke cloud for a combo. Note that when you go for this punish you will have to watch out for the late 3 which will hit and combo you if miss the d1.
Another way to punish the late 3 into a 11, 21 or throw by blocking the late 3 crouching and then let the 1 or 2 whiff and punish with 21 ~ smoke cloud. You can also punish this with d4 or d2 as well which is a lot easier to do or you can shut down all his options (except for spin) after the late 3 with d1 which will also anti air his crossover.
