When in doubt, dash it out! Then get full combo punished. ;_;

Of course, is there any other way?
this post is perfect
I'll leave this debat up to you and Sects (who posted on my account).... But I'm just not seeing that, anybody care to explain?
I honestly don't even reset much anymore. I don't see the point, because it leads to more openings in my experience to incite the fear and force errors with pressure, mindjobbing and frame dysfunction than to just go for the kill and lose the safety Net. There's NOTHING Cyrax can put in his pocket more important than a Breaker. My entire Cyrax game is pretty much like my Cage game: Grab trap, shenanigans, pressure, BnB reset, repeat. If I need to make up a huge lead, THEN someone's getting bombed, but it's a much easier time laying on barbed wire when you're wearing gloves, if you dig my dirt.
I officially love this line.
lol anti zoning strats in mk9,what dash blocking?
It's a hit or miss talent.
You oughta write one.
...I think I might.
i ranted/made a list of reasons cyrax in fact beats smoke in the smoke character MU thread, it was also discussed on the smoke kouncil
That xSmokex guy from Canada has I know, and I feel like Wafflez has, but I can't remember what tournaments those all were at.
That made me LOL a little
This is the best post ever. THANK YOU. People never take into consideration noone rarely does anything with Smoke and usually when Smoke is on stream at a tourament he is losing. He sits at around 12-15th i dont know when people will see that.
Also almost any character can learn the Smoke MU and realize its not that bad and his tools dont make him viable. Shitty Fundamentals is part of why Smoke can blow people up at times. When you learn to block, punish, and pressure Smoke its nothing special. He cant chip, can only get offense damage off his overhead, you have no worries of him armoring you unless its XRAY and thats hella free so even trying that is just wasting meter. You can get out of d1 SB and d4 SB is so easy to see coming. b2,3 is -8....b2 can get blown up with a jump over (just bait it out) Smoke is so predictable its sad. The best chance Smoke has is grabbing a lot like CDjr used to do with him.....wonder why CDjr won with him in the finals and than dropped him!
It made tommy switch because Tommy knows it is an uncomfortable MU for Smoke....if tommy n chris g played 100 times tommy would say its 6-4 reptile even if he is winning. Rushdown crazy Reptile breaks Smoke and dash gets around bomb so easy. Most Smokes hate playing high level Reptiles.
wafflez doesnt travel anymore
Reptile can punish nearly any SB whether making it whiff or on block....thats pressure that reptile can only get on Smoke because of the way his projectile works. His D4 out ranges and beats Smokes (a tool Smoke uses always) than he gets more pressure. He can bait shake with forceball set ups and he can do all of this while getting in Smokes face fast and pressuring him. Its a certain rushdown reptile only gets on Smoke. Smoke cant use his Smoke away, Smokebomb, Smoke towards, Shake, Invis, and cant try to throw out b2 for spacing all because Reptiles dash blows them up......how is that a even MU??????? If this MU was played more it would be 6-4 Reptile like it will oneday. Smokes gameplan in this MU is to block and punish LMFAO
I know and honestly i didnt mention how good Smoke has done before
Wafflez has NEVER been accustomed to fighting Reptile, despite having Han. He is a decent ways ahead of me...even was at MLG Columbus, but he definitely struggled a decent amount.
Probably because Detroit isnt a Smoke main....Wafflez is the better Smoke but detroit has played countless characters against Reptile. Im not downplaying or complaining but Smoke doesnt go even against Reptile its clear. Reptiles tools beat Smokes and that makes it 6-4...dash is just too effective against Smoke unlike it is against the rest of the cast
