The Czech Republic is formally part of Czechoslovokia. It later broke up into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Ethnically, the two are very similar, so saying he is a slovak is technically correct.


IT IS NOT.

Ever since 1919 the national element of the Slovak National Council and the Hlinka party tried to lobby for autonomity and independence. The official idology of them being the same tribe is practically bullshit which alongside the Czech regime was called out by the Slovakians.

Our language is similar, yes, but it is not a dialect. Ethnically we are even more different. Hell, The Czechs themselves are still Czechs & Moravians.
Czechoslovakia throughout 1919 and 1938 was one of the ethnically the most diverse nations in Europe. In 1945 however came the mass deportation of Sudete Germans and Hungarians. Think on the scale of several 100,000 of people.

ONe of the reasons we went separate in 1993.9.1 is the fact that we are ethnically different and Slovakia desired total autonomity. Shame though, we had a killer hockey team together.

That is really interesting stuff. I'm not being sarcastic either. I love hearing about someone's take on their own national history. Cool stuff. What did you think about Smoke's newly written origins?

Thanks for the history lesson- seriously.
Also, how come you show the Hungarian flag on your profile?
Are you a Hungarian living in Czech Republic?
Sorry to pry- I just like learning about other cultures.


In other news, yes, Smoke is awesome.

I can't help but get a little sad wondering how cool Rain could have been if NRS cared about him at all :'-(

Smoke playing style = pretty awesome!

I like his fast teleport moves, I love the becoming-smoke-and-fase-through-the-enemy move and his double punch teleport move, that move is 100times more aswesome than that overused teleport punch of Scorpion.

His hair is okay in gameplay, but I prefer it standing erect.

I love how he summons smoke around him in a move, instead of having it around him the entire time.

That move with smokeballs where the enemy is teleported to another spot is cool too!

I'm kinda blurred about that one move that looks like Kano's shake move, what is he doing? is he forcing smoke into the lungs of the enemy? I can't really tell.

His fatality = AWESOME!!! Finally a unique fatality!

His x-ray = pretty plain, not my favorite, but the kick-to-face is pretty brutal anyway, you can't really do a x-ray with smoke in lungs anyway.

I'm hoping for some Sheeva and Sindel gameplay next, I think Smoke will definitely be one of my favourites, I had a feeling he would be ever since I first say his character select pictures.

This may have been brought up already, but is anyone starting to see some copy/paste going on in the animations? Sheeva's intro ends with the same fist shake as Scorpion's, and Smoke's fatality starts just like Scorpion's.

Smoke looks very impressive!! I think he has the best design of all the ninjas in this game so far. Been waiting to see some in game images/ gameplay of him. Wonder what Rain would/will be like if he becomes available.

He also changed the video title to "NAO VAZOU NAO VAZOU E NAO VAZOU", which I entered into a quick translator which says it means "Not leaked, not leaked and not leaked". Dunno what that's about.

I did think it was weird the case he took the disc out of had no manual or cover art.

My personal theory was that he works at or has access to some place that already got their shipment of the game, and that he removed the disc from one of the boxes and planned on putting it back before release. Perhaps someone has noticed the opened case quicker than he expected.

In Slovakia. My town is divided on the border between Slovakia and Hungary. Komárno.

Ask anything aside, I can be happily be a fountain of insight. Especially since the curent political situation is not so good here.

Could be worse though, like, not being deported to somewhere else and having no citizenship and thus, no rights for three years.
