Fleeing from the Lin Kuei, Sub-Zero's closest ally Smoke is captured and converted into a cyborg. He is now brainwashed and tasked with killing his former friend, but Sub-Zero believes there is still some humanity left within him.
Judicious use of Teleport, Air Throw and Harpoon reward Robo Smoke with incredible combo damage. The run jab pressure required to compete among the top tiers is also here and having invisibility on top only helps his gameplan.
Biography
Smoke, unit LK-7T2, is the third prototype cyber-ninja built by the Lin Kuei. He tried to escape the automation process with Sub-Zero but was captured. His memories were stripped away, leaving behind an emotionless killer. However, Sub-Zero believes that within this machine is a human soul trying to escape.

- Invisibility: Invisibility is generally broken and Robot Smoke manages it the best. Use Invisibility as often as possible. Invisibility can also be useful to bait opponents into doing unsafe attacks. Spear guarantees a free Invisibility.
- LK, HK, Sweep Punish: Robot Smoke punishes LK, HK and unsafe Sweeps with Spear.
- Animation Freeze Punishes: Robot Smoke can perform animation freeze punishes on blocked Uppercuts and corner attacks with pushback using Teleport Uppercut. This is especially powerful to set up corner traps.
- Great Throw: Robots Smoke's throw has absurd range and plus frames. Throw can guarantee a free Invisibility.
- Air Throw: Air throws are generally great. Robot Smoke's air throw is extremely good in combination with Invisibility. Air throw can guarantee a free Invisibility as well.
- Great Punishment Mode Combo Damage: Robot Smoke punishes block Teleports for around 50-100%.
- Corner Traps Easily: Robot Smoke's Spear is great for setting up corner traps. It is especially useful to juggle Spear into a corner trap after his mid auto combo and Teleport.
