My thoughts on Cyb-Zero is that it was a fun and interesting plot diversion, but I had no expectations that it would stick. Only way I'd see them keeping it would be if Bi-Han was restored as Sub-Zero as the Elder God's champion a la Deception!Scorpion. With that out the window, I think a Scorpion / Cyb-Zero rivarly just... wouldn't work. On top of all that, Cyb-Zero was interesting for story but was pretty "meh" in terms of gameplay, at least in my eyes.

As for Cyber Smoke... I'm in the "favour his human version" camp. Even when playing Deception, I prefered the skin set of "all black Noob, etherial nanite Smoke" over his robot version all the time. His smoke powers feel more "traditional ninja" than a cybernetic specialty - at least Sektor and Cyrax's abilities are mechanical through and through. If your cyborg is smoking, I'm thinking there's something wrong with it, not that it has superpowers.
