    I'm the exact same way as Max. For me personally, watching a pro player play a character that I'm interested in learning is a very good way for me to understand the character and see what they do. I then try to replicate what they do and as my understanding and skill grows, I begin to try to add my own flare to the character.

    The advantage of ending smoke air combos with jump kick air through, is that at the end of air throw, you can throw ex-smoke bomb for unscaled 10% extra damage. So your 35% combo turns into 45%

    I used to be more of a "Street Fighter" guy in the past and never really a "fan" of Mortal Kombat, but MK 9 was simply fantastic.
    Had a ton of fun with it and.... kinda surprised how good this game still looks ^^
    My favourites were Scorpion, Smoke, Ermac and Meleena
