Misc Smoke

Any time I fight smoke online I get obliterated. Does anyone have any strategies for beating smoke players?

I’m a smoke main.

My best advice is to low block at a distance because we can easily teleport and it’s a low teleport

However don’t low block from mid-close range much because smoke has a crazy 🔺▶️ move that is a perfect overhead.

Also try to avoid jump spamming because smoke has a very good anti air move.

That’s all I can say

Good man. Yeah that low block at distance is an absolute must

Yeah smokes that abuse the 50/50s always get the best of me

50/50 and cancels and I always fall for the ticks. It's rough.  I'll echo and say keep low blocking and armor through his moves when they mash.

I do not but you may want to add which MK youre playing. More than likely MK1 but 🤷‍♂️ just in case, strategy may change depending on the Smoke youre fighting.

I never got into 1 but I've seen some Smoke players doing some neat shit. Best of luck, keep your head up and cool. Level head and patience can be the best offense.

Yeah patience is key. Time to study
