How to Play Smoke in Mortal Kombat 1

In Mortal Kombat 1, all you need to do to master Smoke is pay more attention to your opponent’s moves than you would with any other character. This is especially true of Smoke, whose unique attacks let him build together devastating combinations and swiftly punish an excessively defensive fighter.

Smoke players, like Reptile and Li Mei, need to be proactive and constantly on the lookout for opportunities to launch combo strings that will enable them to destroy their opponents quickly. Players should use Smoke’s abilities to become invisible, teleport, and quickly overwhelm enemy Kombatants. Some advice for playing the card game Smoke:

• Be bold and take the game to the defensive Kombatants.
• Make use of Smoke’s unique abilities to extend the life of strings and do damage to foes.
• Shadow Blade is useful for dealing with aerial foes and capping off strings that send opponents flying.
• Use Smoke’s teleport moves and practice stringing teleportation combinations while fighting a character who predominantly zones.
• Use special move cancellation as a bluff, and follow up with a combo using an attack type that exploits the opponent’s weakness. Skip Smoke-Port and jump right into the Violent Tendencies set, for instance.

Smoke Special Moves

Do you enjoy quickly and spectacularly sneaking up behind your foe and surprising them? It’s a good thing you said that since that’s going to be one of the special moves we make the most use of with Smoke.

You’ll find a complete list of all of Smoke’s special moves down below.

Smoke Tips

Do you recall our warning against combining Smoke with other substances? The two special moves you should alternately use are Smoke Bomb and Smoke-Port. Both begin similarly, but one goes for an overhead and the other a low strike. They’re great for throwing off your opponent’s defenses and forcing him to switch between blocking low and attacking high, or vice versa.

However, you shouldn’t blindly take advantage of these strategies. While a Smoke Bomb won’t leave you particularly vulnerable, a blocked Smoke-Port will almost certainly result in punishment from your opponent.

Your assumptions about Vicious Vapors are incorrect. Having a tremendous overhead that attacks in front of you is fantastic, but the actual power of this move comes from its cancellation. You just need to combine Block and Back into one word. Cancelling it gives you a free opportunity to extend your combination or throw your opponent when they least expect it.

With Smoke, you may do a special kombo string that culminates in a throw, which brings us back to the Smoke-Port combo for a moment. Hit the Forward 1, 2, and Throw buttons to accomplish this. You can use Smoke-Port to attack your foe right before the animation ends. The celebration can’t go on unless it’s improved.

Smoke Fatalities

Smoke, like the rest of the cast, has two fatalities at his disposal. The wonderful thing about them is that you can perform them regardless of how far away you are.
