I hope and pray that Noob and Smoke have not become one. But honestly I don't believe they have either. I think the Ryu Ken idea is what Boon is trying to get across. I think he means that out of all of the characters, Noob's and Smoke's are different from the rest but similiar to each others.

Here's my theory. I doubt there going to be fused, why would they show both of them on the character select screen if they were fused? If anything they might be like a tag team, but not both on screen at once. Sort of like Goten and Trunks in Budokai 2. Like you hit a button and smoke jumps in and noob jumps out, but they'd have the same hp.

i just think boon meant that they both have good juggle/switch stance moves, i mean if smoke and noob are fused ill be pretty ticked.

i think that they have similar fighting styles. I'm just wondering..... why would Smoke work with Noob..... It's gotta be part of the Deception!!!! Noob is using Smoke so he can get Subby. Then Smoke probably betrays Noob and a clash starts between Noob and Smoke. I would cheer for Smoke. But in this battle maybe Smoke would accidentily fuse with Noob!!! It's just another theory..... Hmmm......

in the selection screen it clearly shows noob/smoke standing next to each other. get it through ur heads they arent fused
