[@SlickThwipBow_21]

From a newbie to FGs, appreciate you making this video 🔥 Great job 🐉

[@LouStreets]

Happy to help my man 🔥

[@matsosa]

When I first started playing MK1, I used to think that Smoke was my BIGGEST opp…but one day, I just decided to read the room and I stopped trying to play quicker than him. The person I was playing against was SPAMMING teleport with Smoke. He teleported from the sky, to the ground…pretty much in every direction, but I learned in THAT very moment how to play against Smoke, just by being more patient. The guy teleported, I waited for the small window, and I uppercut him every single time. Thankfully, the guy only knew how to teleport. The score was 0-2, but I literally only beat him with uppercut!😂 It was so satisfying. I knew it was cheesy, but I was just playing his game. In the end, he became smarter and knew that I wouldn’t change, so HE changed. He started grabbing while I was blocking, but that’s when I adapted. Now, he was throwing grabs and teleports, but it was only a matter of staying focused and being smarter than the other guy.

[@davienpeaks6757]

most go for the low tele, I just started jumping over them and making them look dumb

[@drifty_mouse5715]

As reptile you can punish him with a 40% combo every time he does his unsafe mixup. He can’t do much if you just wait for him to mess up.

[@i_c_y_u_n_v_me]

Yoooo smoke and Johnny players never stop mashing buttons,all they do is press buttons and jump ,so annoying

[@PaccManXL]

Idky ppl say smoke is op or he needs a nerf he is dam near next to sub zero when countered right all his combo starters are punishable low damage and not to mention hes not easy to play, in the hands of a good player he becomes c tier

[@matsosa]

@@PaccManXL I agree

[@B.CREAT1]

Knew most of this already, but still watched it all. Because it was really well explained!

[@LouStreets]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@danielmphilipp]

The most important part of the video. Loosing is learning. Never quit. Do not get angry. Just learn. BUT with my 45 years i struggle understanding Smoke as an opponent. How can so much invisibility be in the game? I am overwhelmed. Stay on rank V now but when my son and i sparing for hours and he plays smoke. OMG so stressful with all the invisible attacks and 50/50s.

[@ChristheLight]

His invisibility is predicable. Long windups. He only has a couple of moves that do it believe it or not. Go into practice mode and have the cpu do it or play as him you’ll get the hang of it really quick.

[@fmgaming6]

You sound like me coaching some of my fighters in the gym 😂. Good shit brodie 💪🏾

[@1989thebigpayback]

Bro, you definitely need to enter into some competition. Your breakdown, and every video is amazing definitely number one KZbinr playing any fighting game in my opinion

[@seductive5248]

Your last tip with keeping in mind the fighter game mentality is why I’ve been getting good when I was younger I used to get so mad but now I just shrug it off and think of how I can move on and beat them next time! It’s so true!!

[@austinkrogstie615]

2 vids in one day 🐐🐐

[@LouStreets]

Yessirrrr

[@StarGamerX17]

Hey I'm new to your channel and I got this game for Christmas, I'm trying to learn Smoke as best as I can trying to figure out what moves to throw out the cpu, and he's hard to set up combos for a beginner in Mortal Kombat 1, thank you so much for this video exactly what I needed, going to do the best I can learning more about the game and then soon will jump in to my first ever online match when I'm comfortable and ready to start! Your explanation was perfect, and thank you again!

[@LouStreets]

Good luck my boy have fun 🫡

[@AngelResells]

Honestly the biggest thing that helped me was the button window because I was trying to practice this combo on Li Mei and couldn’t get it with a long button window as soon as I put it on medium it was so easy. This helped a lot and I have a lot more confidence going into online!

[@ThatsWhatSheZedX]

Just subbed this shit is exactly what I needed lol havent played MK since 11 and I barely even touched that so this vid helped a ton. What kind of playstyle would you consider someone like Omni man?

[@LouStreets]

he's weird cuz he like a stance character with some rush and a lil bit of mix, he's hard to classify and thanks for subbing my boy, welcome to the channel

[@johnsonwithat2322]

Mad props to you man. Definitely will use some of these tips. I just started playing MK1 today and so far Scorpion seems like my guy, but his combos are hella hard.

[@chasecaviness5819]

This was very helpful, thank you

[@flex17indabuildin76]

great video again! can you make a defensive tutorial, with topics such as D1 poke, ducking, flawless block, frame data, hit confirm and stuff like that? would be so cool

[@MahicalCheesePlease]

Liu rush down..? I play him zone heavy tbh and it works. Probably because most people that play hate zoning and get flustered when they have lost 25 % before we even start boxing close range lol. Good stuff LSV.

[@B.CREAT1]

I do the same with him, his zoning is super strong

[@wynzavian2000]

Great video. To someone in the comments D-1 pokes are super punishable in Mk-1 for people that mash D-1 after turn all you have to do is grab and it's a throw counters and they can't tech the throw or D-1 back and it beats them every time and hit stun's them to standing position and guarantees the highs.

what would be that for ps5 ?

Thanks for the tips. Coming from SF and Tekken, there is a lot to learn and unlearn.

[@goeiemorrege1]

Don't use long input window timing, only if u r a beginner. If not, use medium or short.

[@jsavage9134]

Let me ask you this, do you consider Mileena Mix or Rushdown?

[@jsavage9134]

Side note, she’s my main until Noob gets put in the game & Ed Boon confirmed him, I think the interview was yesterday but I can’t wait for him, if Noob has good combos off a teleport from below, I can’t wait, he’s been my main from MK Armageddon but I know there’s pop up Cameo’s so my real style will come with him hoping they give him Mix again like MK9

[@Filterdeez]

I would call her a mix, from my limited experience with her. From what I've seen, she looks to have good low and high options that you can frustrate your opponent with. She does have some rush down qualities so I'll have to play her a little bit more to really give a definitive answer

[@Watchingfighting_games]

When do you go live ?

[@LouStreets]

fairly random but usually in evenings

[@tronimusprime6113]

See my issue is blocking and being quick with the combos inlay on ps5 never played an MK game before but since this a restart to the franchise I decided what the heck and I have big thumbs but don't have the coordination or speed to do these combos anytime cause I notice when even I move I feel and look awkward doing it lol any tips would be helpful

[@Mr-Manager]

How can i train to press together special attack with the r2. It comes hard to me. What is your advice

How do I get better at inputting longer combos? I be missing the timing more than often

[@B.CREAT1]

Lab work allot, and also trying it in live matches because with the ping you will have different input lag. You can also use a part of the string that you mess up and then do the full one

Which MK do you like in the modern era out of 9, 10, 11 and MK1

[@musicxxa6678]

What is scorpion in this ? Can't zone, can't mix, can't pressure, can't grab

[@xkmuffinzx3915]

He's a footsie character. You're supposed to establish presence and pressure from mid-range with his longer range normals. Out poke them with stand two and mix up with back 3. Wait for them to trip up then confirm your pokes into full blown combos.

[@musicxxa6678]

b3 is suicide outside of max range. s2 is high. he was much better footsie kharakter in mk11. b1, b2 both was mid with great reach, even f3 was great. he had plus frames face to face and low/overhead buttons as well. Scorp seems really bad in this one to me. You can basically block and poke everything he does. His footsie isn't really great. Also the flying kick type moves are extremely fast in this game for some reason and most of them have armor. They are mostly unreactable and barely punishable. There is no fkn neutral. i don't understand why they takeaway all of his mk11 tools. he wasn't even good in that game. Ashrah have much better reach and tools to play footsie whiff punish game. there is no reason to respect scorpion in this game. he can't win if you don't throw the match.@@xkmuffinzx3915 I'm curious to see how he will be played in high level games without cyrax chip dmg strat. Teleport is also trash. If i don't pick a kameo with a projectile, it's easy to zone scorp. Tp trash, sweep -19, spear -9999. Also you can't stagger his strings. He doesn't have much string anyway. 214, 122 have dumb animations that you can't play stagger game like MK11's 11/21 strings. he is so trash with high attacks that i think his throws should have been much stronger in this game.
