@@Coocouy Absolutely. Its one of the coolest parts about him. He's just a really good character so you can kind of choose your kameo based on preferences and its awesome. Sektor is still my favorite but Khameleon is super fun, as is Motaro and Sub for other reasons. Motaro guide should be out on Saturday

Sweeet! Thank you for the guide. Just watched this and now I'm gonna go over to the Sektor video. So far I've been only using Sareena for her easy combo extensions. Those strike me as almost mandatory since I can't do Smokes cancels yet. And without those, his combo damage really isn't that good because no one is being hit by raw 32s. So more kameo guides are always welcome. Have you considered doing a mix-up video for Smoke while invisible? Or is that rather simple and Smkoe does the exact same things as when he is visible? Like mixing B2, F32 and maybe a jump in?

Youre welcome, I'm glad you liked it! And nice, lemme know what you think of the Sektor one! And thats understandable, Sareena is really good at what she does lmao. Especially if youre still learning cancels. And yea you generally need the cancels or a grounded kameo extension to hit good damage otherwise. Actually tho, youd be surprised how often you can find a raw 32 as a block punish or after Upblocking something. Or if you land a jump in, that's the move I always go into. But otherwise, yea no one is getting hit by it just in neutral lmao. Sareena is probly the best kameo to use if you're struggling with cancels, but Sub and Scorpion both give you solid extensions as well, while offering other utility. The current plan is Motaro next, then Sub, then Scorpion, then idk after Yooo actually yes, I have been slowly working on a script for an invisibility guide essentially. Both as a resource for Smoke players, and for people against Smoke, because I see even high level players get away with some wild shit, and a lot of the comments tell me that people don't really know a lot about how to deal with Smoke's mix. And the more counterplay your opponent knows, the more you can use it against them. So yes, I'm definitely gonna make a mix/invisibility guide. It is somewhat about mixing between B2 and F32, but also standing just out of range and seeing if they try to mash, and then you move in with F12 or a jump in, or baiting them tryna UpBlock the F32, etc. theres a lot to go over so its definitely in the plans!

@@AwesomeBRINKS LOVED the Sektor one as well. Also LOVED the additional information you provided in this response. I haven't even considered doing 32s after a jump in. No clue why. I'll have to try that one out today. Also with the F12 in invisibility. I watched some of JustNastys gameplay and tried to figure out what he does during invisibility, but it's hard to tell because he's... well... you know: invisible :D Keep up the great work!

@@STFUppercut69 Thats awesome, I'm really glad to hear it!! And you can also do F4 after a jump in. If you're gonna do a meterless combo, then 32 is the best starter for damage, but if you're gonna burn 2 or 3 bars, then F4 is sliiiightly more optimal than 32. Lol yea JustNasty does some interesting stuff while invisible, especially with how he uses Sub kameo. Sub kameo is getting a video next week cuz you can do some wild stuff. And yea the more familiar you get with the character, it'll be easier to tell what moves he's doing based on the audio cues and just the rhythm of the hit/block sounds, tho its not perfect lol And thank you so much, that is the plan!
Amazing vid man lao is so damn good. Btw the stuff at 11:25 i dream of doing as a smoke main lmao. Would love to see you drop some advice on getting to that level of cancels. Cheers 🥂

Hell yea im glad you enjoyed it, thank you! And he really is, even despite the nerf. And honestly, its about just getting the timing down of either reacting to the startup of the BF3, and then inputting the cancel portion, or even just getting a really good feel for the rhythm of the inputs. You're technically canceling during the same part of the BF3 animation, but because some of the strings are longer before the BF3, it tends to feel like certain cancels have a different input window. But actually, the only variance is how long it takes for the BF3 to start up after the string is over, cuz once the BF3 starts, youre pressing the cancel at roughly the same time in the animation regardless of what came before it if that makes sense So I think I've gotten used to the rhythm of it and I get a lot of practice doing sequences like that for my videos too lmao But I can potentially try to make a vid or short explaining that with visuals if that didn't make any sense lmao

@@AwesomeBRINKSthat definitely makes sense, but a cancel overview would be amazing. And on what you said about string into cancel, i’ve noticed a different feel for each combo starter string even tho you said there isn’t, which i believe. F21 feels like the middle ground in terms of timing for the bf3 into cancel. B2 is definitely the fastest input wise for me, the cancel is basically right after the b2, and with how hard it is to hit confirm b2 it is pretty committable (pretty sure you said this in the smoke guide). And f32 feels super slow with the cancel input. So learning the timings and executions for the different strings is super annoying lol. I typically just load into a practice match for a bit and just do string into cancels until muscle memory kicks in. Love the content bro keep it up🐐

@@therealshumbucket That could be really cool actually, thanks for the suggestion! I'm planning an invisibility guide(since I somehow left out pretty much any mention of using invisibility in my Smoke Guide 😬😬) to go over all the options both for and against Smoke while he's invisible. But a cancel overview could be dope actually if it would be helpful to people. Yea so its hard to explain. The "feel" is definitely not the same between each cancel, but the window to input the cancel portion is the same. But I think the reason it feels different is because the window to input a special move, is obviously tied to how long the string before is. So as an example, take: D1->BF3->cancel The window you have to input BF3 is very short, since D1 is a very short animation. So while technically the window to cancel a BF3 is the same every time, it feels way shorter because you don't have time to wait for the BF3 to come out before you start preparing for the cancel input. Where on the other end of the spectrum, if you're doing: F32->BF3->cancel You have pretty much the whole animation of F32 to input a BF3, and then you get a short delay until the animation is finished and the BF3 starts up before you have to input the actual Back+Block And all that tends to make it feel like the timing of cancels are different, because the gap between inputting BF3 and B+Block is usually different, even tho you're inputting the B+Block during the same window of the BF3 animation I hope that all made sense lmao. I'll definitely think about a video version of that to try and help anyone still struggling with it and hopefully the visuals will be more helpful than just raw text and numbers lol And yes B2 is very committal with the cancel since, a reason I didnt go over in the Smoke Guide, is if you whiff B2 slightly and you tried to cancel it, the whiffed B2->BF3(cancel) turns into B23 which is death on block and can't be cancelled. So if I think whiffing is a risk, I dont even bother canceling the B2 and just take the hit advantage sometimes. But thank you for the support as always!! I super appreciate it!

I've been considering that yes! Have you seen my SubZero Overview&Combo Guide yet? Some of the info youre looking for might be in there. Otherwise, which part of Sareena are you struggling with? Just getting her to come out after one of your moves? Or are you struggling to follow up after she hits the opponent with the double blade toss?
Hey brinks is it possible to do a bk 2 into smoke cancel forward 3 2 into smoke cancel as all one combo, I keep trying and the last cancel doesn't seem to come out unless I delay the forward 32. But then u lose the back 2 out of the combo points

It technically works if you do an EXBF3 cancel. The game will only let you do 1 free cancel per combo. Its like Nitara or Omni-Man's air dash You can technically connect cancels as long as you have the bar but I haven't ever found the damage to be worth the meter compared to just going into 32 into teleport loops if wanting to spend bar
Tried to practice the smoke double cancel more to look flashy but can't time it at all. Any tips?

Do you mean doing like F3->BF3(cancel)->BF3(cancel)? If yes, that shit is hard lmao. When you're doing a raw cancel(as in not special canceling into BF3 from a move), you basically do the whole input as fast as you can Normally when you do like F3->BF3, the BF3 doesn't come out until the F3 animation finishes, so you have a slight delay before you have to input Back+Block for the cancel to work. Obviously if you start a BF3 at point blank and cancel it before the attack comes out, you don't have that delay at all and pretty much need to input the Back+Block as soon as you're done doing the BF3 So just BF3B+Block all as one quick sequence if that makes sense I hope that helps a bit. Basically its just a very fast input. I use the rhythm of the sound of my buttons on my controller to try and get used to the timing Also I play on a PS4 controller and use the D-pad for 99% of anything I do in MK Lemme know if that helps or you have more questions!

@kaosreality7154 if you're asking if the cancel input(Back+Block) counts toward the beginning of the next BF3 input, then no it doesn't. As far as I'm aware, the only thing that might make it count is if you have Negative Edge enabled in your control settings, which is where the game counts you releasing a button as an input. So yes, if im understanding your question, for 2 cancels in a row, the inputs are BF3....B+Block....BF3....B+Block
