King Checkmate
uɐlop sı ʎllɐnʇɔɐ
1st off. I'm new to the Forums but not new to the game.
2nd. I'm a pretty advanced player.I don't play online, where I live we have a MK community and play every week.
Now, I've used smoke since day 1 and i know my way around most characters.BUT when it comes to Baraka i just dont know how to deal with him. (There is a player from my community that uses Cyrax as main but since he can't beat my smoke he throws out Baraka, he knows i suck against him).
Even if I'm a good player and i have powerful combos and great understanding of the game i must admit my poke game is pretty basic ( Read LAME ) so i don't know if that's what I'm lacking against Baraka.
Since Smoke is the only character in the game WITHOUT a STRAIGHT BOMB to stop Baraka's Charge. If i use Teleport not only my teleport will whiff, but since im behind him he will recover faster when changing sides and almost instantly do another charge leaving me with no other option but to block.I can always use EX Shake but its sad spending ex bar on that instead of resets, not to mention he can spam his Charge forever while i get the most 3 Ex Shakes. If i try to jump over him or at him or he will just use his Blade Spin.If i poke low he responds with Chop-chop (bb1)... I'm really stuck here.That charge seems to be pretty safe ON BLOCK.Same for that Blade spin...
Any advice on how to deal with him will be really appreciated.
He's driving me CRAZY. Avoid a murder please!
NOTE: that with my other characters Baraka is pretty EZ to defeat. And i know i sound STUPID, but there is no other character that owns my smoke as much as Baraka. I must also say the player that uses Baraka is Really freakn good.
