Pretty sure youtube deleted my comment because it was too hateful. Which is a shame because I really wanted you to read it. But in short: you're a pathetic excuse for an adult male. You lose to other smokes. Suck your dad's dick.

First, I appreciate the feedback Second, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't actually look at the upload date, but this was from like 2 weeks after launch, so not everything was fully optimized yet, and to add to that, I never made the claim that all the combos were entirely optimal. It was more a showcase of what links into what, to get people started with the character and experimenting with routes, especially with how much kameos can alter said routes. So some of the combos are generally not shit you wanna use, but in the interest of just teaching people what leads to what, I kept some of those in(combos 8 and 10 as you referenced). Also some people dont play this game competitively or even online, and might not be able to do cancels consistently or connect some of the more optimal shit, or fully hit confirm, so I still kept in some less than ideal combos that would still work for those people or to just give them slightly different routes, such as just raw f12g into 3 bar ex tele. I'll concede that I could have more clearly marked some of these combos as being better than others, but the specifics of total combo optimization wasn't the focus of this video and I never claimed otherwise. It was just to showcase different options, while not assuming a certain skill level of the person watching. Also, this was my very first video, and there are still things I would do differently if I could make it again. For one, I managed to make a 30 min Smoke guide while barely mentioning invis lmao But to your specific points: 1: True on the first part, but the difference is not huge, as its still a very plus knockdown regardless, but that is good info. For the second part, disagree about only needing those two enders midscreen. DB1 is still worthwhile if you dont want to side switch, or you want your combo to take slightly longer to wait for your kameo meter to return(I do this sometimes with Sektor so I have a single or even double missile ready by the time the combo ends). Sometimes doing J11 into air tele cancel is also worth doing for setup, depending on kameo, and then obviously ending combos in f12~exdb2~j1 for invis is very relevant. Most of that is stuff I would have covered if I could make the video again, but it was still early game and meta. 2: Agreed on the anti air part. But again, I hadnt found that route at the time, so it wasnt in the video 3: It's certainly not optimal, but I kept it in to just show that if you get a f12g and havent used a cancel or any juggle gravity, you can still combo into another f12g and then whatever you want. Definitely not the most relevant piece of info since anyone remotely competitive is probly not starting a combo with f12g, but I didn't want to fully exclude niche info like that, incase it was found to be more relevant in some niche kameo route or something not known at the time. And the point of the video was teaching people how the characters moves work and what leads to what, and in what situations. So it stayed in 4: Similar to the previous point, was mostly just to show that if you land a f12g to start, you can still dump all your resources and connect 3 ex teles. No need for a cancel or hit confirm. Agreed doing just f12 into ex tele is better, but I believe I was just showing that f12g leads to an easy resource dump combo as well. Part of the mix of combos was the hope that as people learn the character and listen to what I've explained, they can eventually start to distinguish which are the "beginner combos" that you shouldnt do in a serious match, and which are the "yea you CAN do this if you want" type combos. Again, if there was something niche or unique as far as routes or extensions, I tried to include it somehow, as the point was to try and teach all that info to people that were likely starting from scratch with the game/character And to respond to the last part: You could have just kept your comment as reasonable feedback and criticism, which I will always appreciate and encourage, but for some reason you had to bring your ego into it here at the end and brag about beating "so many" fellow smoke players as if that would make you seem more credible or impressive. There is nothing wrong with "content like this", and im sorry you seem to have misconstrued a lot of the point of it. And I'm not even sure what youre referring to with saying it's unsurprising that I think Smoke needs buffs. I would love to have an actual conversation with you about the character and why you don't think he needs buffs, when literally every other Smoke main, from wifi warriors, to twitter labbers, to content creators, and pro players that travel to events, all agree that the character has some glaring flaws that don't fully make sense. But I guess it's no wonder that the person who thinks Smoke's backdash/backwards wavedash is actually not one of the mathematically worst ones in the game, has misunderstood that Smoke is a balanced character And finally, I challenge you to point out any "false information" in my video(none of your points about the combos prove this since I never made false claims with the combos being optimal), or call attention to anything I said that is bad advice. Because for one, I can't learn from any feedback that is just "X thing bad", and the whole point of videos like this and my channel is for people to learn. So when you just vaguely shit on it without being constructive, it makes you look a lot worse than the thing you're tryna bring attention to. Thank you for your feedback and for watching the video. I implore you to check out more recent videos on my channel for more up to date stuff

@@ChernyyVolk I just want to know if your dad came in your mouth yet or if you're still sucking.

Yes his the one

This about Sektor. I 100% think Sektor is Smoke's best kameo after the most recent patch. I also think the missile comes out a few frames faster too, which might change a few things? (Not sure on that). The ability to cancel flamethrower on block is pretty cool too, maybe just to throw off the opponent though. Like you said, love the homing missile on throw, just sucks it costs two kameo bars. I also wish there was more use out of his teleport punch but still has its few uses. Not perfect of course, but still think Sektor is him right now for sure.

@@Nuggetlord6969 I'm glad you enjoyed it! And yes the synergy for this time is honestly so sick. Very underrated imo compared to Janet, which is way more boring to me lol. And yea the bomb stuff got way harder with the patch since now you gotta manually detonate the bomb. And honestly I'm not sure if it beats every armor. I haven't fully labbed it against everyone. I would imagine stuff like Sub slide would kind of low profile the jump kick and require a different setup to try and break armor while also still sort of mixing. Though B24 into bomb is always a nice alternative. But honestly I gotta lab it more to give you a more confident answer lmao

@@OKE0KE yea they're really far from optimal lmao. But they're goofy and ugly looking so I had to post em

@@kendallchristoun Thank you! I'm really glad you found some value in it! I tried to keep a nice mix of viable/mostly optimal combos, and just neat flashy combos you can do if you don't care about doing the absolute max damage you can every time

Invis costs a bar and is anti air able in neutral, cancels are fake pressure, all his strings have gaps, only two sets of plus frames which are both unsafe,no real staggers and he has to chase zoners down, how doesn’t he need a buff?

@@yeyo6521 its coming and will be the next video! Luckily the new scorpion move isn't that great so I won't have to spend too much time labbing it or finding setups for it and can focus on editing the video

@@AwesomeBRINKS thank you so much! I know it's not easy finding time

@@713shyne Thank you, I appreciate it a lot!! But yup it seems that way. But it seems they listen to us sometimes. I guess they at least gave us something in yesterday's patch but its not enough. Nitara, Geras and Sub players been asking for buffs and finally got them so maybe our time is coming for some actual buffs lmao

@@H2O__L agreed dude. His backdash is so bad lmao. But yup, that sounds about right! Smoke/Sareena definitely terrorized the online player base for awhile in the early meta lmao. I've also had people get on their mics to talk shit because of Smoke stuff lol

@@timchard lmaooo I'm really glad you found that as funny as I did while editing it

@@Qpalzmcreehay Thank you so much!!! Thats awesome of you to say!!
