I love how this game gave the often disregarded characters (Smoke, Reptile, Baraka) a time to shine, and made them into actually cool and respected characters.
@@invictus6176didn't get a chapter but was still interesting when on screen. And he is now the 2nd in command of the shirai ryu probably so he will get his time in future game/dlc hopefully.

he has a huge background you cant talk about every chatacter , the balance story in the game is 9/10 never boring , quan chi parts in cinematics are way too exquisite
Yeah, like what is stopping Liu Kang from bringing back Smoke's family? Liu Kang is such a hypocrite in this game. He was always talking about how Raiden was a bad Protector of Earthrealm yet he is no better himself.
@@jakubsokol7301he is better than Raiden. But using time power to go back that will created consequences. It’s drove Kronika mad. Liu Kang didn’t want Hours of Glass because of it.
@@jakubsokol7301It was a canon event pretty much. Somethings in the universe has to happen to make them who they are or they will become that in a way or other. Liu Kang did really do everything in his power to keep peace on this timeline but bad things happened which were out of his control. He gave Shang Tsung a uninteresting life to keep out of the path he had taken in the other timeline, he could have done so much worse to him but yet he still gave him a change and everyone else but they still choose to become that way. Liu Kang needs more appreciation
@@jakubsokol7301Butterfly effect! You try to turn a bad into a good, the good in your timeline might turn into a bad or worse. Even if Liu Kang wanted to bring Tomas’s family back, he can’t risk the fate of the others in his timeline.
I love how with the outworlders, he is just curious about Outworld and just ask them questions in regards to their culture, government and the different races that exist in the case of Reptile Kinda wholesome honestly
Still mind blown that Yuri Lowenthal is Tomas Vrbada/Smoke. Unexpected, but I highly welcome it. Ben Tennyson, Sasuke Uchiha, Marth, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Dainsleif, Makoto Yuki, Yosuke Hanamura, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, The Prince and now Smoke… The Man is everywhere, and I love it, lol.
@@raemonn15 yeah. I think Bedman has been my favorite one he's voiced so far. Mained Bedman in Strive because of it (and also because I couldn't get Xrd. Xbox L.)
I'm simple czech. Everytime I see Smoke I'm happy that our little country has its own Earthrealm defender. I'm also happy everytime I see Mileena but for very different reasons.
Ne asi, ja kdyz jsem zjistil ze se jmenuje Tomáš Vrbada, tak jsem si rikal jestli to nahodou neni puvodem Cech. No a je, dokonce z Prahy. A Mileena je pry inspirovano po jmene Milena, takze dalsi ceska stopa
Im so happy that my son is back like he never left. He even respects and likes Johnny, and thats hard for MK characters, as there's only been one other person to feel the same way, being Tremor in X and im so happy that my baby boy is back. He is one of the few things that cures my Kronik depression
Even in the new timeline, Hanzo flaw is always been his anger. Hope Smoke and Kuai manage to make Hanzo conquer his own rage so its not causing everyone problem later on.
Yeah nah my bet is Bi-Han is gonna kill Kuai Liang, Hanzo will become the next Scorpion, and having seen Kuai as a sort of father figure, will get even more rageful
*Liu kang is the closest ive come" it really show how much compasion and respect he show to Liu kang. Unlike kronika Liu kang treat geras as friend and equal
@Reis23 I also love the fact that when asked why he didn't take the hourglass power for himself he said because he believes in liu kangs vision. The fact he chooses loyalty towards liu kang is admirable since he was basically a jobber slave to kronika but that's what separates kronika from liu kang he gives people a way to show their true character a CHOICE. I was never a liu kang fan but I love him in mk1 raiden really picked a worthy successor.
@@liebestitch689You talking about Invasion? OG Hanzo already kicked out by Liu Kang and sent to the timeline where Harumi is still alive but she become Scorpion and Hanzo is the one who died. So they become double Scorpion in that universe.
@@NameHere2856 Yeah, I know I was just hoping for something like this... Kung Lao: "You could've killed Madam Bo." Smoke: "Maybe I took improvisation a little too far."
Bruh, what’s the point bringing Yuri Lowenthal in MK if they are not giving smoke his own chapter. Kitana should’ve had of her own chapter. Yuri Lowenthal is iconic he did a lot of voice overs
Why do I feel that Smoke is the kind of person that if you give him an old Gameboy he will immediately take out a Pokemon game out of his uniform and continue beating the Elite 4?
Smoke asking for the hat of Kung Lao 😂😂 This juvenile Smoke is quite endearing in some ways. They did fantastic on so many characters: Smoke, Raiden, Mileena, Reptile, Sindel even Johnny have excelled on their previous iterations
Smoke and his family were ambushed by the Lin Kuei during a hunt and his family was killed, orphaning him. He was later adopted by the grandmaster and raised him alongside Bi Han and Kuai Liang
Honestly it's hard for me to choose who i want to play the most because you've got Johnny Motherfucking Cage, Kenshi, and smoke These three are so fucking cool looking
6:30 this implies dvorah is likely alive. I’m distraught. on one hand my boy reptile won’t be used as the fatality/brutality showcase no more but on the other hand it’s dvorah.
Timeline 1, he was turned into a cyborg and later bi-han's slave. Timeline 2, he died and became quan chi's slave. Lets hope timeline 3 is kinder to smoke.
that one dialogue with smoke and baraka, if only he had a way to hide his blades, I think he would’ve given smoke the biggest hug. both been through it.
Its either funny or jarring when one has friendly dialogue And then gets into blood Kombat Smokes dialogue with Liu Kang is intresting, though I am unsure how he will work in future games or expansion, it does make me wonder if Smoke will be antagonistic to Liu Kang in future The Enera, oh boy, a devestational foreshadowing or a defying cruel fate?
Stryker: I can help you drive the Lin Kuei out of New York. Smoke: First, show me that you're capable. ---- Stryker: Excuse me, sir! This is a non-smoking area! Smoke: Ugh. I've heard that one before. ---- Smoke: Is it hard being a policeman? Stryker: In New York? You have no idea. ---- Smoke: Won't you get discharged for this? Stryker: Nah. More like "chewed out." I've been chewed out before.
Which means we could possibly see Jarek in the future as a playable character, cause the intro dialogue between him and Smoke would go hard. Not to mention, because it's a new and different Era. Jarek's design is gonna be also new and flushed out, including a whole new moves and kit.
I love how this game gave the often disregarded characters (Smoke, Reptile, Baraka) a time to shine, and made them into actually cool and respected characters.
Not smoke sadly

I am mildly disappointed that my boi Smoke didn't get his own chapter in Story Mode.
It's kinda sad but ay at least WE HAVE HIM IN THE GAME! 😁
I’m surprised he didn’t
There is still a possibility that he will later 👀
They will most likely have story expansion’s later in the future just like what they did on mk11
he has a huge background you cant talk about every chatacter , the balance story in the game is 9/10 never boring , quan chi parts in cinematics are way too exquisite
Love the wholesome moments between Tomas and Johnny
they have a cute older brother younger brother dynamic
Never thought I'd see johnny be smoke's other bff.
@@DekomataJohnny is everyone’s best friend.
Everyone is so damn nice to each other in this game, which certainly makes the crazy goriness of these fatalities much more juxtaposed.
Sharp contrast to people beating the shit out of each other for sneezing the wrong way

Everyone except Sub-Zero, Havik, Reiko, Shao, and Shang Tsung.

Everyone besides the villains that is (ESPECIALLY Bi-Han lol)
Even Havik tried to recruit him
Except Bi-Han
……I mean I’m low key wanting to bubble wrap him
I feel like Reiko acts like an older brother or something
Yuri lowenthal as smoke was such an unexpected but welcome choice
He suits Smoke so well
4:48 boi cracked her up real good 😂
I love how with the outworlders, he is just curious about Outworld and just ask them questions in regards to their culture, government and the different races that exist in the case of Reptile
Kinda wholesome honestly

I love the Spider Man reference with his intro with Sindel
Which one?
@@lostfrog7050about not being able to save everyone I’m pretty sure
4:20
Man, that line hurts, he can save innocent people but he can't save love ones like, family, friends, and probably wife and child (if ever)...
It's also an Emiya curse from the Fate series.
His smoke senses were tingling
He also believes it’s smoke time
Then he Smoked all over the place
Smoke is baby, confirmed. Thanks for this really weirdly wholesome MK, NRS!
He's so adorable and wholesome. 😭🖤🩶
I love how he's so soft spoken
Smoke seems like a very kind person. I’ll main him.
It's nice hearing Yuri Lowenthal's voice while we wait for Spider-Man 2
Yuri Lowenthal and ninjas go together like peanut butter and jelly
U can watch boruto if u want to hear Yuri lowenthal lol
seeing Peter Parker with Jin Sakai talking with one another is beautiful
12:50 WHERE THERE IS SMOKE, THERE’S FIRE He Brought MK9 Vibes🔥🔥🔥🔥😂
He said the thing
“Ha ha he said it”
He said the the line from the trailer

I love that The Mask reference. I loved Jim Carrey in it so much
17:28
I love Johnny’s and Smokes talks they feel so wholesome haha
Judging by their conversations, Kuai Liang's kind enough to let Johnny hang out with him and the Shirai Ryu.
*Liu kang is the closest ive come" it really show how much compasion and respect he show to Liu kang. Unlike kronika Liu kang treat geras as friend and equal

@@josephstalin2606 true indeed.
Yuri Lowenthal brought his Simon voice for Smoke and I'm loving it.
I wish there was an intro talking about when he fought Madam Bo and what he did
I still can't get over it 😂
Nothing to talk about. It was a scripted fight
@@NameHere2856 Yeah, I know
I was just hoping for something like this...
Kung Lao: "You could've killed Madam Bo."
Smoke: "Maybe I took improvisation a little too far."
No wonder Smoke sounded familiar , Yuri Lowenthal did an amazing job
It’s very hard not to separate Spider-Man from Smoke especially when he says a quote like this 4:23
Where's the smoke there's fire.
I was hoping he'd say that (but in the trailer I saw! 🤔)
(He says it to someone else...)
12:50
that's his intro dialogue in MK9
Funny how in previous timelines Smoke was older than Kuai Liang while in this timeline he’s the younger one.
0:05 AHHH!!! THEY ALREADY SAID THE LINE!!!
It reminds me of the line from mk11 between noob saibot and kaui Liang
Smoke has so many possible nicknames, here are some to name a few:
- Iron Lung
- Yuri-lly High
- Wall Sprawler
- Enenreeferino
- Tomash Smoke
4:21 Even though he is not Spider-Man Yuri always thinks like him.
6:33 D'Vorah exist in the new era
Oh no

praying the story expansion does them justice
geras should get a chapter too
Probably DLC material. (I hope so)
smoke is a good bean

12:50 Thats classic
Yup
Why do I feel that Smoke is the kind of person that if you give him an old Gameboy he will immediately take out a Pokemon game out of his uniform and continue beating the Elite 4?
9:04 well so far you've got a great start.
"We share blood. We are not brothers."
Nice reference.

Smoke is 🔥 Yuri lowenthai did an amazing job as smoke
I like how Sindel laugh
Smoke really tried one upping her
her laugh is beautiful
Man, I wish there was more dialogues during intros.
Tomas is like a puppy and I love him
9:30 Smoke “don’t you miss fengjian”
Kung Lao“other then madam bo’s cooking? no.”
Gotta love how brutaly honest Kung Lao can be
10:52 Its now canon that Smoke is European in this timeline, more specifically Czech.
My favorire Smoke! My favorite Smoooke! How I missed him!
17:28 they even have the mask reference 😂
Smoke needs a hug, he’s been through alot
Tomas is so sweet 😭😭😭😭
Liu Kang: Some threads must to be cut to weave time's fabric
Smoke after that: What if Bi-Han was right?
Getting some Kakashi vibes from Smoke
Same VA as Sasuke and Marth
Sasuke*
@@pkmemes01 his haircut, mask and maybe fighting style just reminds me of Kakashi
but with sasuke's voice
12:31 aight that was unexpectedly wholesome of Geras
Have no idea how him & Scorpion met, but they have formed an impressive bond, like they were real brothers 😊
Smoke and his family were ambushed by the Lin Kuei during a hunt and his family was killed, orphaning him. He was later adopted by the grandmaster and raised him alongside Bi Han and Kuai Liang
At first I didn't read the subs and I thought Shao said "And you're too cutie to be of concern", and honestly I wholeheartedly agree
4:44 Sindel's laugh gets me every time
He’s almost as polite as Raiden……
They must be protected at all costs.
0:35 that…makes me wanna cry ima go cry now
Fun fact: The voice actor for smoke is the same voice actor for Spider-Man in marvel Spider-Man PS4 and the new one coming out soon
Lol Smoke and Syzoth just being impressed with the others magic
Honestly it's hard for me to choose who i want to play the most because you've got Johnny Motherfucking Cage, Kenshi, and smoke
These three are so fucking cool looking
2:14 After Losing my Family I lost my faith.
2:17 It's the only thing that can sustain you, Sasuke. *Naruto portrayed by Mortal Kombat 1*

What? You fall in love?
6:30 this implies dvorah is likely alive.
I’m distraught. on one hand my boy reptile won’t be used as the fatality/brutality showcase no more but on the other hand it’s dvorah.
Smoke definitely allowed johnny to hang out at the shurai ryu compound often
So this is where Peter has been during the Miles Morales events.
1:44 WHO TOLD YOU THAT 😂
12:50 he said it!!! He said the thing!!!
11:58 suspicious, In the dialogues of Scorpion Geras also mentions that he is worried about Tomas, will something happen to him...? 😢
PROTECT HIMM!!! i need him to stay alive and live a happy life
Timeline 1, he was turned into a cyborg and later bi-han's slave.
Timeline 2, he died and became quan chi's slave.
Lets hope timeline 3 is kinder to smoke.
Enenra, a dark entity is out to get him.
Shang Tsung: Liu Kang should never have denied me my birthright.
Spawn: He saw through your shit just like I do.
Smoookin’ 😂 love it, The Mask meets Mortal Kombat
I'm just going to say it, when I first saw Smoke maskless, he straight up looked like someone out of Resident Evil. He could be Leon's younger bro.
Tomas got some trauma 😭😭😭
Smoker: another me? What brings you here?
Peter Parker: I'm here to warn you that J.J Jameson is coming for you and he's known as Omni-Man.
Mk9 Smoke had a own chapter
Tomas sees Li Mei as a mommy?
A lot of fans do too.
that one dialogue with smoke and baraka, if only he had a way to hide his blades, I think he would’ve given smoke the biggest hug. both been through it.
11:23 We don't have Tarkat on Earthrealm but we have Covid-19 and damn that nearly took my best friend
Him and Kitana didn’t have a own chapter in the story mode, which is disappointed especially Kitana
Its either funny or jarring when one has friendly dialogue
And then gets into blood Kombat
Smokes dialogue with Liu Kang is intresting, though I am unsure how he will work in future games or expansion, it does make me wonder if Smoke will be antagonistic to Liu Kang in future
The Enera, oh boy, a devestational foreshadowing or a defying cruel fate?
hopefully he defies that fate
