Okay, how was Smoke a compelling character in the original timeline compared to the new one? Even before he became Noob Saibot's lacky in Deception and Armageddon, all he had for the most part were stolen moves from Scorpion in the 2D games. That's arguably even more bland/unneeded than most of the characters introduced in Deadly Alliance and Deception themselves... I mean at least Darrius had original moves from the start, even if they were rather lame.
