As a smoke main , he’s very predictable. Even if you random And wild. Especially High level. Reason why no smoke mains never won a major. Wishing for daddy G and just nasty in evo.
I agree I think the second you get to high level he’s one of the worst characters I’ve played you have to work so hard to get anything going because of all the upblock opportunities
I now see how Goku feels whenever he uses ultra instinct. It drains his stamina, just as my stamina is drained by doing back to back vapor cancels with Smoke...
For smoke mains, when doing 32 in your combos you don’t gotta dash to get the second one off. I think it’s actually easier (atleast it is for me) to do it without dashing on the 2nd and you can still get off the rest of the string.
The thing is, it gets a lil finicky if you hit both kicks off the second 32. Bc the most common next combo is f12 grab and the second kick of the second 32 could make the gravity heavier and the timing a lil weirder
@@combosensei I laughed a little when you were invisible and teabagging me lol but I'm not upset about it. I stream this game from time to time on Twitch. I have trouble against Smoke at times, my reaction time is a bit slow lol I'm female btw :3
I agree let's be honest the higher up in Kombat league you go the harder it gets to use smoke he gets punished for almost everything he tries to do and I think the smoke bomb should have a mid and far teleport so it's not so easily punished
@@TheRebelMerchant exactly. He’s fun low levels. But struggles so badly at high level. Smoke is my favorite ninja and the fact that it’s Yuri Lowenthal makes it even better. They need to show him some love
I have a decent smoke, nothing like JustNasty or Daddy G but I sometimes confused ppl with invisibility/pressure… Smoke is not bad but at the same time not good… the problem with smoke is that he has way too many gaps and easily punished… he definitely needs a buff.. very good fighters in Kombat League fucks up my smoke because they know his every move and they not dumb lol
Whoever told you he was bad and shouldn’t be playing this game or giving advice smoke is very good he has decent strings he is good with different Kameos and he can go invisible basically making mix useless since they can’t hit what they can’t see
@@combosenseiThis gives me an idea: maybe a special were you set up a KOTH to see who can dethrone you first? If your videos told me anything is that you seem hard to beat.👑
Smoke is far from broken, rush down character with no mid, gaps in all his main strings, slow armour and gets mashed on, pros are putting him bottom 5 for a reason.
I'm a Smoke main. I love the character and love playing him. However, he is definitely a weak character if you're playing anyone beyond beginner level. All of his strings have armorable gaps. His frames are terrible, considering he's designed to be a rush-down mixup character. He and Li Mei should have frames comparable to Johnny Cage imo. Also remove the gaps from his fwd 3 2, and fwd 1 2 strings.
I agree at high level he made me work to get wins they also should give him an option to spend meter on the cancels for plus frames that would add a mind game
@@combosensei I could see that having potential for creative mixups that aren't currently possible. I know that it's unlikely to be added. However, I think it would be cool if they added a grenade special move for combo extensions. He has a grenade that he uses in one of his fatalities. It would fit the character and add depth to his moveset.
@@combosensei Yeah, a kameo version of smoke like cyber-smoke would probably have something like that. It just kind annoys me that I don't get to use the grenade that he uses in his fatality lol. Every time I see it, I just think of it being a missed opportunity.
Then you just suck with him. It doesn’t matter if you’re a “main” or not. He is FAR from “weak”. Yea. He’s got a couple gaps, but they’re easy to work around. Mix it up. He’s got a ton of shit he can do.
Smoke is the Noob killer. Against anyone high tier level he's one of the worst in the game Imo the worst, with all the upblocks/gaps. Ninjakilla said it himself.

Yes 🙌
I have over 5000 matches wit him he’s so hard to win at high level like for me to hit elder god without going 500-400 I have to switch from my baby
I main Ol Smokey, made it a beard hair past Demi God and been there for a lil min lol
@@combosensei facts! What buffs would you do if it was up to you
Awesome video! I was just asking myself why I don't see more Smoke players, and then you drop this heat. ✊

Smoke needs a faster overhead and faster low and amplifies cancel needs to be plus
🎉🎉🎉
I agree let's be honest the higher up in Kombat league you go the harder it gets to use smoke he gets punished for almost everything he tries to do and I think the smoke bomb should have a mid and far teleport so it's not so easily punished
He needs F1 to be a mid, gaps closed in F1,2 and F32, armour needs to be sped up and maybe plus cancels (only spending meter tho)
@@MC24DB 11 should have more hit advantage so we can combo from 11
@@fakelife. you can combo from 11 into vicious vapours if you use Sektor or Stryker
Let's see a Kung Lao with Kung Lao Kameo episode... I'm a Lao fan. Great video.
Damb that first clip was crazy. Got to learn how to do this but will be playing takeda
My favorite brutality in mk1 has to be Omni-Man brutal when he just flies through the opponent.
Smoke is fun to watch but god is he annoying to face for me
He isn’t that hard to fight.
If you can master the cancel vape with Smoke, he's a serious problem. The cancel vape is hard to master.
I’m also a smoke main and I’m not sure if I’d call him trash but in my opinion he does take a lot of skill when it comes to cancels and stuff
Bro using sareena meter drain on that Johnny was hilarious
Smoke is our friendly neighborhood smoker 😂
my fave brutal is the sub zero snow ball
I like shaos forward 2 1+3 where he splits you in half and uses you as a holder for his axe
Banger bro
Nice Scorp is my best kaemo for Smoke.
Watching that first match im just like Shao kahn, conquerer of realms, defeated cuz he couldnt block 😭
What y’all think would be a good buff for Smoke? To help him at higher levels ? I think he should get some of the same buffs scorpion got
He deserves a new move, safer string or meter gain / or drain smoke ability .. every match is a sweat
@@TheRebelMerchant exactly. He’s fun low levels. But struggles so badly at high level. Smoke is my favorite ninja and the fact that it’s Yuri Lowenthal makes it even better. They need to show him some love
Great video keep it up combo sensai!
Also where's my Kung Lao! 😠😠
He will be featured in the next video haha
Yeah my finger dexterity NEVER will get those cancel combos. I still do decent with smoke without the cancels
eyyy, right after i picked him up, lets go
I still can't believe I play you before
Oh i miss scorpion kameo. I play mostly khameleon now and can barely remember the timing with scorp
Damn dude, no smoke Mavado
You the 🐐 ngl
Thankyou much love 👁️
Raiden next? He mad underrated
Literally nobody underrates Raiden…
Raiden/Janet is the new hotness but nobody knows about that

I wish you could put the music from the old games in the new ones, like in tekken
I loved the video. But where is shang tsung?
I want to do him really bad after the next few videos
I just started playing so smoke scares me a bit if it’s a good player of course I feel like his strings just don’t stop lol
Try upblocking more and armor moves
@@combosensei cheers bro
Bro hear me out, smoke cyrax.
your combos are tough bro but it’s clear you play against the 99%
you can dunk on noobs and causals but if you get higher up the rank he won't last. so easy to read what moves he gonna do and punish tf out of him
Tanya nexttt

No Cyrax? I was hoping for some net combos
Quan-Frost also does work
If I make another part to him I’ll put cyrax there 😤😤

As much I love Smoke, he got too many issues, buff him!
Close the gaps 🙏
@@combosensei On god
Hey how do you usally lab combos? Like how do you get good at so many characters
I try to explore every string with every kameo to see what works it’s a very hard process 😅😅
@combosensei appreciate the advice 🙏🏿
Smoke is trash - anti zone or not // he needs a new combo string or added move to make him able to “compete high level “
I rip off my shirt and moan everytime you upload Combo
Let me see 🤔
Smoke needs buff man and new moves
I'll give you credit for showing the potential of Smoke, but I can do without all the sexual references.

Smoke is of the Best Character in this Game...i always win with him😅
Try kung loa Sonya
im a smoke main and i love him but in high level he IS trash, he need a good mid and gapless attacks , or his cancels become plus
You are weird , I like it
OMG that Peacemaker is playing Call of duty on Mortal kombat 💀
I hate that 👎🏼
He trash because his broken.
