Since Smoke is in MKD, I think it’s time his abilities were used a little more. They have been virtually ignored in the past imo. Since he has smoke abilities, he should be able to use them in combat.

The Teleport Uppercut he had could be performed with him rising out of a smokey cloud and you see his fist and the rest of his body can be hazy. His fist should have a smoke cloud around it.

And given that Konqrr and others have said that he will return in neither cyborg, nor human form, I’m hoping he’ll be a smokey aura with bits of human and cyborg patches over his body. I think it’d look cool. Plus, the Mist Punch move below would then be perfect for him.

Smokes new special attacks.

Projectile Invincibility

Firstly, he should have the ability to become smoke. This would give him his first new special move. As smoke, the projectile would just go through him. What would be cool is if it was just his chest that became smoke whilst his legs an head stayed solid. The smokey torso would have the projectile pass right through. Also, if a parrying system was introduced, instead of Smoke deflecting an attack, he could turn the part of the body being aimed at into smoke, which would maybe send the opponent off balance and counter attack that way.

Mist Punch/Kick

My second idea is that he has the Mist Punch/Kick move I created before. His fist or foot becomes mist and diffuses across the arena and becomes solid right in their face delivering a nicely damaging blow. That of course would be a speedy attack.

Choke/Veil

Use a smokey haze, Smoke can render the opponent immobile by making them choke on the smoke or veiling their vision for a short while allowing for a free attack. The enemy can be seen coughing and spluttering or even trying to waft the smoke away.

Combo Ring

Basically Smoke becomes a smokey ring around the opponent. You see the ring moving up and down and the camera will spin around the opponent showing Smokes hands and feet and maybe even his head appearing and attacking the enemy in all places and from all sides.

Teleport

Well, why not? He becomes smoke and diffuses across the arena. And if you want to be unoriginal, add the punch or kick to make it similar or the same as Scorpion. I wouldn’t though.

Dashing Haze

This is a dash attack. Basically, smoke charges at the opponent. They go to retaliate either by blocking attacking or whatever. As he nears them he phases out into smoke, appears behind them and attacks from behind. This could be a cool combo opener.
