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
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 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...
@@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
@@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.👑
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
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
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.

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 was the one using Johnny/Mavado, ggs 💕 you played really well. Someone from my stream told me that I was in your video lol
Ggs haha you whooped my ass alot

Smoke is fun to watch but god is he annoying to face for me
He isn’t that hard to fight.
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...
Damb that first clip was crazy. Got to learn how to do this but will be playing takeda
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
If you can master the cancel vape with Smoke, he's a serious problem. The cancel vape is hard to master.
my fave brutal is the sub zero snow ball
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
Watching that first match im just like Shao kahn, conquerer of realms, defeated cuz he couldnt block 😭
Smoke is our friendly neighborhood smoker 😂
Bro using sareena meter drain on that Johnny was hilarious
I still can't believe I play you before
I like shaos forward 2 1+3 where he splits you in half and uses you as a holder for his axe
Yeah my finger dexterity NEVER will get those cancel combos. I still do decent with smoke without the cancels
Nice Scorp is my best kaemo for Smoke.
Great video keep it up combo sensai!
Also where's my Kung Lao! 😠😠
He will be featured in the next video haha
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
Oh i miss scorpion kameo. I play mostly khameleon now and can barely remember the timing with scorp
Another post so soon let’s go🥶
Let’s game soon Sensei i gotta clap these cheeks up
Join the discord we can see who’s cheeks bounce more
@@combosensei Gooner😂 i’ll try to be on this coming weekend ?
@@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.👑
eyyy, right after i picked him up, lets go
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
Damn dude, no smoke Mavado
your combos are tough bro but it’s clear you play against the 99%
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
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 😤😤
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
Banger bro
He finally picked the cheapest character to win
Bro hear me out, smoke cyrax.
As much I love Smoke, he got too many issues, buff him!
Close the gaps 🙏
@@combosensei On god
You the 🐐 ngl
Thankyou much love 👁️
I loved the video. But where is shang tsung?
I want to do him really bad after the next few videos
I'll give you credit for showing the potential of Smoke, but I can do without all the sexual references.
Smoke is trash - anti zone or not // he needs a new combo string or added move to make him able to “compete high level “
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 🙏🏿
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
Smoke is of the Best Character in this Game...i always win with him😅
Tanya nexttt
I rip off my shirt and moan everytime you upload Combo
Let me see 🤔
Smoke needs buff man and new moves
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

OMG that Peacemaker is playing Call of duty on Mortal kombat 💀
I hate that 👎🏼
He trash because his broken.
You are weird , I like it
Naah somebody yapoing that smoke is bad is totally cap
Literally no one says that.
Smoke is a good character but at the same his moves are very predictable but he’s still ovr good
No one says smoke is trash
im first
I'm first ☝️🤓 you little kid go watch coco Mellon
@@Mokeyv be fr rn
@@JaqadenWilliams i am
Not broken at all
do you think everyone has time to sit in this stupid game and master the smoke character
It's a choice my guy. Some ppl like the game and some don't.
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.
What blatant casual attempted to say Smoke is “trash”.. they’ve probably used him literally once.
