Yardier was a dragons fire liu kang main in mkx for anyone wondering. I don’t think he played 11 much. He also won destroyers 3000$ pot tourney for mkx like a couple weeks ago.
Really high level play here. It looks like in round two you started to formulate the right defense to stop him. It’s just he level changes so many times its hard to keep up. Good shit man
Strongly recommend playing as him for a couple of hours and get familiar with his moves. Smoke is my 2nd pick after Mileena and I never really have trouble against smoke players since I know his toolset. Now of course a good player can kick your ass but it evens the ground.
Honestly when I saw the gameplay reveal those few months ago, I was super skeptical of how it MK1 was gonna be. But between you, Diff and Rips Arena; I am very pleasantly surprised with how well it turned out and how smooth the gameplay looks.
I still feel the same way. I'm terrified I'll buy PS5 & MK One and end up getting the first 3 patches rolled out neutering characters combo ability and strong tech. Every other game put a sour taste in my mouth. Cyrax/Kenshi main on X and Sub/Mileena main on 11 and my characters got watered down and decapitated. 11 felt like everyone was 1/3 of what they was after patches. They better not do this on Mortal Kombat 1. I'm excited about using Smoke, Kenshi, Sub Zero, Shang Tsung and maybe Mileena or someone else.
Smoke is unbelievably quick…and I guess it’s a feature now, idk, but when he goes invisible, it just adds another level of complexity to his already powerful fighting style. People say Reptile is annoying, but between the best Reptile and the best Smoke that I’ve played, Smoke is unmatched by miles. The teleport from the sky into the ground up to your feet into a combo that kills half your meter is crazy. He’s super cool though.
Awesome set. Yardier has been on Destroyer streams wrecking shop in MKX. If a lot of the modern MKX players like Moonbreathing or Zilla make the transition, they are going to be a problem.
@@strokerrebirth2628yes but MKX players are very familiar with 50/50 and fast pace while mk11 players have no patience when it comes to that tempo that’s why people hated Sub in 11 and why X players loved him in 11 he played like we wanted him too.
I realized I suck at MK1 when I went up against a similar smoke player the other day. I legit turned off my console and walked my dog. I got washed lol
@@lBadSport I like using frost for her low freeze and the ice bomb for pressure. The punch walk also helps for just chipping them out when they’re low and keeping the pressure.
@@shafin6089 frost is really bad as a kameo. her freeze makes the combos scale badly, bombs are easy to escape and have no pressure and the punch walk you can duck and punish💀
@@lBadSport I was theorizing that Serena synergizes with Smoke pretty well since _because_ he’s so pressure and combo heavy, her meter drain assist allows for that on going pressure instead of easy breakouts and reseting to neutral. I wanna test out Sektor too tho
he crouched a lot after each poke you blocked. quick little overhead and it would've lead to huge damage. But it is easier to see the patterns of the enemy when you're watching instead of playing. Both of you guys are really good!
This Smoke player is fucking insane, dude. He wasn’t dropping combos and had great movement. GGs Tweed. Love your content. Just discovered you yesterday and have been binge watching your stuff on MK1. I’m sort of a new player & it would be really helpful if you’d make a tutorial someday on how to play the game properly. I’d like that.
And i thought i was getting good with smoke... but the fact that even he isn't able to do the cancel online every single time is proof that the timing is either too strict or just too difficult in general. If it was just the back button instead of back r2 would probably be more reliable
@@NooDLES411911 trust you can learn it bro I was struggling too the trick is to cancel as soon as u see a smoke particle u most likely do it too soon and then remember most people do forward 1 2 which doesn’t like fully connect u they can jab u after try do his 113 string I think and u can do kameo after make it safe best is Cyrax and if they block u continue if they don’t u get a combo off Cyrax by jumping in
Played against Yardier on the second day of MK1 early access. I was shocked by how good he was with Smoke and the cancels so early. Now I learned that he’s won Tournaments and shit, so I can stop feeling bad now😂
Smoke in this game is probably going to create a bunch of crybabies and get him nerfed. “U ONLY PICK SMOKE SO U CAN TELEPORT” I had a Sheeva player in MK11 accuse me of only playing Scorpion because of the teleport, and yet all he tried to do to me the entire match was teleport stomp me lol
@omar-pg3onhe doesn’t need skill sorry to break it to you, most of his move sets lead’s straight to a kombo the teleport he has makes it even more difficult to fight. He is a cheese character and so is baraka.
For people who are struggling against smoke his low kick into his overhead can easily be upblocked on reaction for a full punish it took me 5 minutes to lab it in practice and I haven't lost against one since
@nik4923 I been labbing them every day and I'm like 95% accurate on them. The misses still hurt but it does get easier. I've been seeing people say press back twice but that was fucking me up even more.
I’m looking for people who will fuck me up for learning purposes but won’t be a dick about it. Lmk, I’m on Xbox BTW. Also Tweedy your probably my favorite MK TH-camr and player of all time. Love the videos bro keep it up!!!
wow... smoke looks sooo cool and skilled in this game... many other characters do too, kenshi for example, it's very fun to watch. thanks for your vids
The next MK should have mkx mechanics/combos with MK1 graphics and cameo system and MK11 customization , and the first bonus characters should be Hellraiser, Wesker, Dante, Vergil, Dracula, Chameleon. Also bring back interactables.
I really think you should give motaro a chance on geras. You sacrifice damage output for placement/util. So many people play serina and if you’re far you can throw out his projectile shield and start stacking your hour glass or you can just tele behind them, it’s quicker than Kung Lao’s TP.
Holy shit you both are really good. And thank you for NOT putting a shot of you playing in the screen blocking the action like a lot of the idiot youtubers who think that it's a good idea. The way you and Super have the whole action is the best way to present.
@@illusions500 Well youre an idiot. It adds nothing to the experience you just see someone's face starring. And it covers a good portion of the fighting action. It's distracting to look at.
I’m trying to understand the concept behind the smoke slide cancel like is it for resetting for another go at a string or is it meant to fake out I’ve used it mostly for quick unexpected grabs
its to cancel recovery. that way you can continue comboing. other than that, yeah to confuse opponent I suppose. Maybe it had some immunity frames in smoke form.
Damn Yardlier is a bad ass with Smoke! Seems he just needs a little improvement with the Cameo Character and his training to the Dark Side will be complete! You can give Tweety this much of a battle you sure have to know your stuff. - Wish I could pull a 400 plus hit combo. I am just breaking over 300 which is cool. I still need to figure out the schematics of the game a lot better. Everything takes time.
I am sure they will balance smoke in the future balance patch ... that's why I don't main good characters when a game is released... best to use a low tier character in the beginning
I love this new Smoke and i loved smoke before bro i cant believe he's just like my ideal character now he uses his smoke in very ninja like is great along with his amazing speed and acrobatics i cant afford the game anytime soon but cant wait to play him so much i love the MK series
@@akimboakimbo8410 stop lying bro he can def do 55 1 bar or some shi like get tha shi out of here . Smoke is fine the way he is id say but if cyrax tornado gets nerfed smoke losing a tier or two in a tier list

Smoke seems to be my early problem character in this game, very disproportionate number of my losses are from him.
The overhead low and teleport mix is really throwing me off
Same bro, his moves are throwing me off low high high low it’s hard to learn

Yeah but you have to spend your bars on the enhanced teleport
Those running kicks Smoke has are +8 on block I believe, but they're highs
Thanks
I’d have to check that I feel like for being plus 8 on block I get reacted to far to much off of block but then again i could have bad reaction
I realized I suck at MK1 when I went up against a similar smoke player the other day. I legit turned off my console and walked my dog. I got washed lol
The combos this year are crazy ! I was decent last year but the combos a learning curve for me right now. Ima get right tho! 😭
dude his cancels are so clean he can get it every time that shits so hard to do i’m on day 3 with smoke and still can’t get it consistently
You could, legit, have soundboard buttons with different variations of "Oo, that was good".
The Smoke combo to learn is at 14:22. 47% matrix combo. Full bar required.
It's pretty easy to do. The scaling on those air combos with the enhanced teleport is nuts
Thanks for the study material you two. 🙏🏾 Great fights
the combos in this one look so cool because it’s like genuinely watching them throw hands instead of just them repeating 2-3 moves
Smoke keeps repeating the same 2 or 3 moves...

Smoke with Stryker kameo has the best mixups for oki in the game. I’m commenting this everywhere so I can say I said it before everyone’s doing it
i think hes option selecting your grabs for perfect blocks
Swing smoke for the first time as a marvel fan " Ooooioooooooooooohhhhhh" first combo
I like it when good players admit they have come across another good player. Top class that's a sub from me!
Honestly it seems like everyone is pretty good at the game because they made every character so accessible now.
why dont we get the intro dialogue in ranked?
Yardier was a crazy liu player on mkx so no wonder bro can cancel like it’s nothing😭
