They didn't show "shake".

i hope he still has it.

 

[Konqrr]

I honestly hope he does have shake back for no other reason than to read epic threads about it by @General M2Dave

Shake is the tool of men. It shows that you show up to the job with the right tools, it's just smart.

 

[Jeffrey Wolf]

That would be cool, but it seems very unlikely. He already has plenty of special moves. Plus, Spear will be much more useful than Shake. You can just Teleport to punish projectiles, instead of Shake, while Spear will give him resets he never had before. What I want to know is if he still has his air Teleport and if his Invis functions like Reptile's. If EN Invis has armor? Damn...

 

[Rathalos]

All I want is him to have his classic MK3 fatal.

Not even updated, just shoot out a bunch of bombs, and they straight up cut to the mk3 world exploding animation.
Just as cheap and dumb as possible.

I thought Tyler and Derek said shake isn't back this time?

I think the spear and invisibility will more than make up for it. Plus he still has a teleport at least.

 

[SOLEdier]

Does anyone recall if his MK9 like teleport was just a string (like F22) instead of command (DB2)?

 

[Vigilante24]

His MK9 teleport is a string 2b2.

they switch Shake for Spear , not a wise choice at first sight

I mean, it's a pretty iconic move though for Robot Smoke. I am disappointed though that they gave him three spears instead of the harpoon end but it functions the exact same.

 

[boba_buster]

I actually like how they changed up the harpoon to make it more of his own move

 

[zaccbarias]

if his invisibility works the same as reptile's, he'd be very very strong. but it kinda makes deceptive redundant.

Eh I don't know, the shake was good but this spear was a classic move for Cyber smoke plus it's going to give him a lot of restands and probably resets willing to bet. The smokey elude I could have done without, that move imo is useless with the run in this game and now limited via stamina meter.

 

[Hara-Killer]

smoke skip foward using stamina sucks , why they do that ?

It's probly got a lot of invincibility frames or recovers really fast

The trident is too important to robotic smoke, they gotta just take the story mode skin which looked epic af, muffle the metal out of his sound effects and swap trident for shake on his alternate human smoke which is accessed just like it was in umk3 by selecting robo and doing the code.

That would be epic

So I picked up scorpion last night to try and get my head in the vortex game assuming smokes gonna be a vortex character. But what I'm realizing is smokes tele knocks down on hit so we're not gonna be able to end combos with tele and reset the combo , I'm also worried because watching the gameplay video I didn't see and any standing overheads to go back into a 50/50 vortex. Although his njp looks very fast maybe that will be the way to go. I'm also noticing that seems like smoke has a lot of juggles and launchers so it seems like it's gonna be important to not use spear to start the vortex but at the end to re stand them only
What do u guys think? How will he play?

 

[boba_buster]

I'm calling it now , end combo in spear then mb invisibility then 50/50 low starter / njp
Shits gonna be godlike

 

[boba_buster]

Rewatched gameplay video in other smoke thread , standing special cancelable overhead confirmed!

 

[ShaolinGunFu]

im gonna play him like its mk3 even if its ineffective

[boba_buster]

Run jabs? Lol

This just reminded me of the noobs on UMK3 for XBLA that only knew robo smokes easy 40% combo from teleport starter, and thus would just teleport over and over again with no regard for human life. Some would blatantly buffer the f,f command, others would buffer f,f repeatedly to really throw you off, while others got super clever and invented the jump xx teleport tech. Hope smoke's return brings back these lab monsters.
