Smoke needs 3 frame down 3, OTG reset on air grab, ex smoke bomb drains 1 bar meter of your opponent...
NNOO Smoke needs 0 buffs, I always believe that smoke is top 7. You dont have to worry about zone, you can zone to build meter, have great mobility, akuma teleport, 75% reset, best pokes in the game, beast at close range, fast combo starter, all strings have overhead mix up that means your opponent have to eat all the down 4 and down 3, and an invisible which one one uses.... Not sure what else do you need....
[MENTION=5442]rev0lver[/MENTION]@. I disagree completely, smoke has all the tools he needs to compete without his reset. He is the most mobile character in the game, currently no one good is maining him though. And what are you talking about, cdjr played smoke as an alt vs Detroit tsang and he didnt use any reset in any of the rounds. He won 2 matches against detroit tsang
