This game was absolute madness for me and my friends; It was so much damn fun. I truly miss tag battles, it was some of the most wild matches imaginable.

Smoke was the character that slowly broaden my mind about special move canceling, launchers, and combo extending inputs. I really wish I had more time to learn how to play more than one character than just button and special spamming.

I'm the exact same way as Max. For me personally, watching a pro player play a character that I'm interested in learning is a very good way for me to understand the character and see what they do. I then try to replicate what they do and as my understanding and skill grows, I begin to try to add my own flare to the character.

The advantage of ending smoke air combos with jump kick air through, is that at the end of air throw, you can throw ex-smoke bomb for unscaled 10% extra damage. So your 35% combo turns into 45%
