I remember everyone was saying Smoke was MID TIER until we actually got a strong showing from players like BigDaddyG and JustNasty. I'm so glad we have someone like JustNasty to show everyone what this character is truly capable of doing in the right hands and great video as always :)
Smoke is definitely average. He’s kind of ironic in that his cancels are pokeable and his overheads are predictable and can be up blocked. Not saying I wouldn’t get smoked by nasty, but ninjakilla just uploaded a sub zero vid of him doing 50% like it was a bnb. Good players can make anyone look good, but good characters can make bad players look good.
Honeybee will always be my favorite NRS content creator. Tremendous skills, good sportsmanship, and a personality that radiates positivity. Keep up the amazing work
Most smoke players actually don't memorize Timing, they react based on teleport animation start (the "smoke" effect before teleport), and cancel it that way. Anyway, still an impressive thing
It’s muscle memory for me, each attack you vapours from has a different timing for the cancel so some are quicker than others, all about knowing the timing and once you learn it it’s great.
@@jedda7955 yeah I’m just figuring that out. Haven’t fully picked up Smoke yet. I just go in training mode a few minutes a day just to practice the timing on his cancels and that’s it lol
I know this is old but you look like you were having fun trying to adapt. I was look for advanced smoke players you popped up you got the best reptile hands down. Thanks for posting the hype match win lose or draw.
That combo wow...I hate fighting Smoke but have to give him props for that combo. Very shocking he didn't take that round but Honeybee handles close matches well.
@@danp2596Lol look at this noob trying to flex my best damage was 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.69%
I know it’s just spacing but I literally hate playing against people that walk back all game, like especially with a character like smoke who has absolutely nothing in his kit that would make that a viable strategy it just slows the game down and it’s boring af.
You must not play smoke or see good smoke players to understand why creating that space helps utilize his kit well. I can't tell you how many times I've created space just that way, and had good enough reaction time to a projectile or kameo ambush to use enhanced smoke port, catch the opponent where they can't block, and loop the enhanced smoke port twice more into a a good damaging combo as a result of having created that space. I literally did it just last night and beat a god ranked player as a grand master. Saying there's nothing in smoke's kit to have benefit to creating space like that, and that it's people running scared is fucking unhinged.
Is there anything that Reptile's invisibility does better than Smokes? Or does that Smoke's does NOT do? I ask because if Reptile blocks an attack, he is visible again but that doesn't seem to be the case for Smoke
Well the thing is Smoke invisibility is only possible through spending a bar then he gets all the benefit reptile would if he spent a bar in his invisibility but smoke own is a bit faster
It’s actually crazy how many times I’ve seen that happen or its happened to me. You pull off an ultimate optimal combo perfectly for half or more health and still die that round. Idk what it is, i think its a mental thing because almost every time i drop a 46-50 bomb on someone I die that round.
HoneyBee I'm one of your biggest fan since Injustice 2 (flash) but that smoke smoked the f**K out of you. But still a pretty good match up. One day I will learn how to play reptile. Mad respect, bro!
Best smoke player - has to break out 50% plus combos Best reptile player - goofs off with shujinko in a jingle ass costume *insert fraction of our power meme here*
I know its part of the game and a valid strategy but the whole having to chase down someone constantly backing up the entire game would drive me crazy 😭
You kind of have to with Smoke, he don’t have the range like other characters . He also get hit out of his over head on startup. He also have a slow low/overhead mix. Reptile will win in neutral especially with that b3
Luckily this is MK so there's tons of teleports and ways to bypass the bullshit if you're so inclined! Tough luck if you're a character specialist and your guy doesn't have those things, though.
You can tell he hasn't fought many reptile mains. Tbh I haven't even seen a reptile online yet. Only had the game for a week though. Extremely well played both of you guys. I'm sure these sets were beneficial for both of you.
These false video's need to stop. Smoke is bottom tier and doesn't stand a chance vs literally any character.. His BnB is also by far the most difficult of all. He needs some serious buffs
As a smoke player since day 1, that 59% combo was a thing of beauty
combo starts at 2:15@@BOSSMANVETERAN
it was honestly one of the easiest looking combos ive seen yet lmao. if you think thats beauty. my guy is a smoke player for sure.
@@SillyG1mpit’s a beauty because the last combo of the 58% is incredibly hard to pull off since you will need to time it perfectly with Scorpion
everything’s a beauty to smoke players cause they don’t have the iq to pull a combo with NRS handing them a free 50% for doing nothing lol
I remember everyone was saying Smoke was MID TIER until we actually got a strong showing from players like BigDaddyG and JustNasty. I'm so glad we have someone like JustNasty to show everyone what this character is truly capable of doing in the right hands and great video as always :)
Smoke is insane. He can cancel anything into everything. I never know what a good smoke player is gonna do.
Smoke IS mid tier though?
He's still pretty mid, they're just very good players in a game where it's hard to be very good.
Im still saying hes mid tier, that means hes good
Smoke is definitely average. He’s kind of ironic in that his cancels are pokeable and his overheads are predictable and can be up blocked.

Easily one of the best (if not the best) video I've ever seen from your channel man. Super fun to watch and full of incredible combos. Congrats!!!!
6:57 Knowing the timing on the cancels while invisible is absolutely insane!
Most smoke players actually don't memorize Timing, they react based on teleport animation start (the "smoke" effect before teleport), and cancel it that way. Anyway, still an impressive thing
@@ArshakAvagI have been practicing it myself and at this point I'm convinced most of these Smoke players are using macro controllers left and right

Nice vids bee,I totally respect your loyalty to reptile. A true “mainist” and Just nasty was “jusst Nasty “
Highest damage I've ever got was 13% (it was off a throw)
lol your bad my best was 18%

At that point I don’t call or spacing I just start saying they running because they scared
It's just how you play the game. Running at your opponent it how you get beat up.

that smoke is fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw you vs bigdaddyg playing a set, and both of you becaming invisible the whole match, i told him its was john cena vs drax lmao
Well done Honeybee.
Best smoke vs best reptile. Love it!!
I wanna see a godzilla skin for reptile. That would be dope
This is the best crazy smoke I have seen
I love how hes just trolling and still doing work against the best smoke in the game lmao
SUPER INVISIBILITY X10!😂‼️
What a player Smoke
Can you cancel Shujinko‘s punch/kick into his mimic and copy cat moves?
Yeah I do that a lot haha
Lol. I had a li mea hit me with a 52% twice in different games and I still
Won 2-0. Lol. And I was also Li Mea. And my best combo was 28% 🤣
JustNasty's using my team now? Time to acquire tech.
Acuse you, you were useing his team

That's interesting, have a nice day
Reptile getting out-inviso'd by Smoke :(
I have a 595 combo which is essentially impossible in a match, so 587 or whatever it was is so cool to see. My next best is only 517 🤣
Special cancel is crazy
NRS can we please get mk9 smoke skin also love your videos honeybee
there is no better smoke im sure of it what a great player
Pop Tart Reptile FTW
This is like watching a anime fight

The fact that force ball can be reacted with teleport is so lame. Makes Reptile’s game plan obsolete
The fact that Smoke can't react teleport vs most projectiles in game makes his teleports almost useless in most fights. You got it backwards buddy.
@@YolozyxYeah you right all you gotta do is poke him most of the time.
@@futurecrusader9228 the more i play Smoke the more I realise that Smoke and Havik are bottom tier
Smoke ,most cheapest character ever
That smoke is scripting. Look for smarttaura scripts. Exactly same combos with same timing same everything that smoke is a cheater.
These false video's need to stop. Smoke is bottom tier and doesn't stand a chance vs literally any character..
His BnB is also by far the most difficult of all. He needs some serious buffs
out of everyone in the mk1 kommunity i really love justnasty rn since i’m also a smoke main so it’s great seeing he’s getting some recognition 🤌🏽
