Sektor in the rari and Dolan Duck on cyrax face had me fucking dead haha
and for Smoke?
"Yo Kuai Liang, do you think if we were cyber ninjas we'd be the same tier?"
"Shut up."
I disagree.sektor has slightly more favorable matches then smoke I'd say and smoke does have one or two less than favorable match-ups so I'd give the slight edge to sektor overall but not by much. smoke is definitely the easier of the two to succeed with though in my opinion especially in ranked matches as his game plan stays the same for most matches
How did you quantify this?Smoke takes a lot more work than Sektor.
Fighting people who know the smoke matchup.How did you quantify this?
dolan meming in 2016, cringe
B21 whiffs on most the cast and you can interupt the (1)Smoke for sure is better.
You see, Sektor has to get this... PLAY NEUTRAL! Dun dun dunnnn
Smoke? I'll just B21 and if it just so happens to hit at max range I'll get some stuff. What if B2 whiffs? Just finish the string and you are right behind them, you'll catch them out of the air 8 times out of 10 and convert for a full combo, or if they decide to block it you can mix off it or you can cancel into EX Smoke bomb for plus frames on block and a full combo on hit.
How about a safe wakeup? EX Phase that shit and if they read the EX Phase on wakeup and try to punish, just phase the other way and B2 them.
How about give him a completely unseeable mix through the F21 string? Yeah that's not stupid at all.
Hmm Tri-Borg can launch off F43 but that's unsafe cause you can interupt the 3... How about we give Smoke another version of that string except make it have no gap, hit comfirmable and the last hit launches for a combo? Yeah that's not (soap bar in my mouth).
Also throw in a vortex. Just cause.
I don't hate this character. Why would you say I hate this character. Pfft no this character is fine, I just need to level up.
I haven't fought many sektors but from what I've seen I'd say has not as strong as smoke. Still good but not as overwhelming or annoying as Smoke. He's up there though. Probably got some stupidity that I'm not seeing. Making Teleport safe tho is pretty stupid tho.
Wdym nothing is guaranteed after the (2)B21 whiffs on most the cast and you can interupt the (1)
F21, just poke out everytime? Nothing is guaranteed after the (2)
His EX Phase is stupid. Practically an armored launcher dude and take a few steps back and punish it? Okay what if he phases the other way tho? What then?Are you really crying about his phase? Jesus, just stand a few steps backs and you can full combo punish it.
Guess you forgot the part where F421 is full combo punishable if not hit confirmed.
I don't see the problem with the vortex? In turn, he doesn't have a high damage output.
EX PHASE IS AN ARMOURED LAUNCHER WHAT??????His EX Phase is stupid. Practically an armored launcher dude and take a few steps back and punish it? Okay what if he phases the other way tho? What then?
The vortex isn't really an issue you're right. The F41 string being punishable if not hitconfirmed? Why don't you practice hit confirming it and it wouldn't be that much of a problem
Sorry about 2 post I was being an idiot with how I handled this. But yeah smoke is dumb
I said that it is Practically. Not that it was.EX PHASE IS AN ARMOURED LAUNCHER WHAT??????
"Okay what if he phases the other way tho? What then?"
That question has no merit.
What if I did a F1 stagger
What if I did F12 instead of F1 stager
What if I did F121 instead of F12
What if I did F121 rocket instead of F121 rocket.
What if I woke up? What if I delayed wake up?
Ummm isn't that what pretty much every character in the game has? A mid that goes into a hitconfirmable string that is negative on block? Serious question, what the hell... F4D1 is borderline impossible to hitconfirm consistently as well, and F4 can occasionally be low profiled by D4's, so it's a below standard mid string in this game as well by any measure.Hmm Tri-Borg can launch off F43 but that's unsafe cause you can interupt the 3...

Ah so you haven't even taken this character to the lab. Why don't YOU practice confirming it and see how viable that is. Even f0xy said he cannot consistently confirm Mileena's B12 and it's got like double the window that this has. It is HARD, impossible unless you are playing offline, impossible without a top tier monitor, and even if you have both those things arguably still impossible unless you have amazing hitconfirms. And this coming from someone with a name like mine should mean something. I find Jax's 11 easier to hitconfirm.The F41 string being punishable if not hitconfirmed?

With other characters It's not as ridiculous imo cause most of them aren't nearly as annoying. They do have them and I acknowledge that but it's not as annoying With those other characters imo.Ummm isn't that what pretty much every character in the game has?

"As for the wakeup, no wakeup, delay wakeup also fine but say I read that he will do a phase but he did it the other way and I got punished for it. Do you see what I'm getting at? "I said that it is Practically. Not that it was.
And those examples are quite the fair bit different. Those are for if he's on offense. Guessing a stagger while they're on offense is fine no problem. As for the wakeup, no wakeup, delay wakeup also fine but say I read that he will do a phase but he did it the other way and I got punished for it. Do you see what I'm getting at? It's layers and layers of guessing even when he's on the ground. If I have to guess some shit that's w.e but if my whole match against a character is literally a complete roll of a dice it's kind of really stupid.
Idk maybe I just need to level up. Yeah that's it. (not even kidding about that lol)
Oh the curse that is Paulo's Vision has plagued NRS games for too long."As for the wakeup, no wakeup, delay wakeup also fine but say I read that he will do a phase but he did it the other way and I got punished for it. Do you see what I'm getting at? "
You do realize you are playing MKX right? Smoke isn't the only character with layers of guessing. I don't see your point lol.
You guessed wrong and got punished, too bad, PAULO'S VISION.
