P!
After testing, Smoke's naked b23 seems to be -7 on block; Johnny Cage was used to test as he has 6,7,8, and 9 frame moves and his 8 and 9 frame moves never connected. A smoke bomb cancelled off b23 is -9 on block. If you don't have a move that hits that quickly, you cannot punish; smoke can block in time. If you're hitting Jade's 16 frame b1 after a blocked naked b23, there's something wrong. That is not mathematically possible.
Like I've said; Smoke is very rarely going to ever commit to a bomb on b23 when he can confirm the block and just not. This does not change his tier position, and if you think it does then you are not playing the matchup vs. him correctly and are failing to operate your block button. Smoke is Top 8 and isn't going anywhere
