"Liu Kang fighting his demons" 😂😂😂

[@dkDyno]

That corner sequence with cyrax net at 8:21 is just nasty.

[@kyb7795]

I see what you did there

[@user-tf7pr9wm7i]

8:06 bro just started watching 😭😂

[@ToonGoon2111]

“Smoke Cyrax ?! Hold Up This Is Banned” 😂😂

[@coyote_man-3232]

1:31, liu Kang is fighting against my father

[@nealrigga84]

Bro💀

[@PsychicJaguar19]

To answer Rewind's question, no a lot of smoke players use janet,khameleon, scorpion, or goro. Cyrax net always cost half a bar so that corner loop that JustNasty was doing with the net has been in the game for a while. They also cry about how he's not viable and you can't open anyone up which just isn't true.

[@McDayWalker02]

You’re right, it’s not true. You can only open them up if they’re braindead scrubs like most casuals are. Against anyone with half a brain smoke sucks

[@YarnhamBrainsucker]

I swear people will say that about any character, and then there’s the other half of players that complain that there isn’t enough defensive options, like which is it can you not open anyone up or is there no defense in this game 😂

[@binkl2844]

I’ve been maining SmokexJanet since she’s come out. I replaced goro with her entirely. I now have about I think 2K games using smoke Janet and it’s an incredibly fun team. No mixups but insane damage and really really good puppet combos/pressure in the corner and in neutral

[@PsychicJaguar19]

@@binkl2844 nice, yeah I haven’t learned the stunt double setups/pressure because I’m lazy; I’ve been using Stryker and goro to set up mix but if I want combos I go for Janet or khameleon. Sub is always a solid choice as well. But that just goes to show that smoke is solid because of all the kameos that work with him and at the most he only needs QOL changes.

[@binkl2844]

@@PsychicJaguar19 if we’re talking smoke changes I would either remove the gap from F3,2 make his smoke bomb safe or give him armor on the way down when he turns invisible. Like how reptile has it when he enhances his teleport cancel

[@othellorucker8107]

11:08 good job nrs. Unbelievable

[@humzabahaduri]

1:30 liu kang fighting his demons is so good😂😂😂😂

[@Zone6_YTSC]

Yo, Rewind I peep that you play characters outside of the norm and that is greatly appreciated young bull. I seen a lot of Peacemaker and Johnny paired with Kano and Chameleon this tournament.

[@MotionlessGamingN2K]

Wow, very good games

[@roul3688]

Liu has that waddle and he does this weird leg twist like he’s shaking a 💩 out his pants on his bf3

That was some humbling as whopping .. lmao

[@alanb1449]

Not the zoom in on the ping 😭

[@Trinzxee]

Wsg rewind u should learn Liu and homelander fr bro I mastered them and they to cheap hope ur having a good one homie much love always ❤️

[@NiKiToS_7758]

@Trinzxee Homelander is a very cool and interesting character, but almost all of his attacks are high. Ducking is his real problem, the rivals are just permanently sitting without a block under all his series. F4 and F1 certainly help, but still, he should have more mids.

[@br0dyj08n9]

He already said he won't be playing him and that this was a random occasion

[@br0dyj08n9]

Liu kang has to work so hard in this matchup

[@xzyth831]

Cyrax is making this game fun again :)

[@br0dyj08n9]

Spoken like a true scrub

[@TOKYO_SLIME]

Man, I REALLY want to play Smoke but consistently doing his cancels is hard as fuck… I wish I could just hold back to cancel out of his port instead of having to time a Back+Block button press…

[@RedLineOneGC]

Why is it at the 9:28 mark i realized rewind was liu, i thought HE was playin smoke the whole time smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@amarmyape8265]

Smoke with Cyrus can chip your last 20% out

[@souljahsquad4447]

Net was always half but its faster now so ppl can do that combo now i found out it was faster bwcause of a combo with geras i labbed

[@dud3x216]

With the homelander meta it feels like a blessing in disguise to be a Smoke Main now Because every time those guy try to fly including -Omni man -Nitara -Ermac -Sindel I just anti air with (DB1) or (DB2) 😂

[@kyb7795]

With omni stance the knife toss doesn't work

[@dud3x216]

@kyb7795 yeah, but the smoke bomb (DB2) does

[@n1mand]

Everyone is top tier if Rewind plays.:D

[@br0dyj08n9]

Especially smoke

[@marquezjohnson8315]

These smoke players going have to stop talking to me too 🤬🤬😂

[@br0dyj08n9]

It's crazy how people hate seeing characters like peace and kenshie or pretty much almost if not every broken character but they enjoy seeing a character that can go invisible and mix u up. Crazy how people's minds work makes me question if they are real

[@steveee009]

They need to revert cyrax and reduce chip damage across the board tbh

[@grigorvakhidov7675]

this was my first team when game came out but i never knew u can utilize cyrax like this

[@ag_miller]

this team is so busted...we'll see if it lasts through this next week!

That net vortex is wild NRS KEEP CYRAX

[@underlicounorthstar732]

Saw bigdaddyG playing smoke/cyrax once, why those players are build nasty?

[@TheClemmons352]

Reiko's back 3,4 kills the smoke cancel. It knocks them full screen to keep bs at bay!🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ogdudu6872]

I like how you talkin bout smoke havin bs yet you play reiko 💀

[@Mahershalahazbaz]

I don’t people understand how hard it is to do some of the things Justnasty is doing here. Most Smoke players (like myself) just are not on that level. Smoke still needs buffs.

[@Son1cdragon123]

Now i understand why some kameo character are banned from tournaments 😮PS even if they revert the buff he still has that net set up so yeah FUN I'MA RIGHT 🤯

[@KalsSteph]

Learning… but yu should definitely pin Rewind?!😂💯💯

[@cabron1984]

Yeah they gotta nerf my boy cyrax that’s too strong or they nerfs smokes string and make it where can’t cancel into special move

It's unfortunate that content creators are forced to play this trash.... Hopeful for a better game in the future cause this is just bad.

[@georgieporgie8482]

Lol nobody's "forced" to play any video game. People play things and make content because they like the subject matter. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that nobody else does. Although...I'm curious as to why you watched this video if you hate the game so much.

[@GT7.]

@@georgieporgie8482 put it simply. I like boxing. Hate watching Floyd Mayweather. Have I watched his fights sure.... Also when your full time job is content creation. Yes you are forced. This is not the case for Rewind as he has an actual job if I'm not mistaken. Don't think for a second I'm new around here.

[@georgieporgie8482]

If you like boxing, presumably there are tons of boxers that you like with tons of matches for you to watch. Why would you actively choose to watch matches of boxers that you dislike and then complain about them? Just seems like an unhappy way to spend your free time. And again, content creators (without "real" jobs) are not pigeonholed into getting good at and making content for games that they don't like in order to make a living. Most players--particularly in the fighting game and fps communities where learned mechanics are transferable to similar games--could easily switch to another game that they actually liked and continue making content. SonicFox has won thousands and thousands of dollars in fighting games WAY more popular than MK1. There's a reason that MK1 is still the game that he streams most.

[@GT7.]

@@georgieporgie8482 I'm telling you straight. I'm not reading your article on my "complaint" I read your first paragraph and that's it. I am entitled to an opinion. I shared it. Drop it. Move on with your life. I'm too old for this shit....
