Quotes 

• Smoke : Kuai Liang and I were working hard to build our new clan. But even with the help of his close friend, Harumi, it was difficult. The biggest problem was finding the initiates. Then, one night, while walking outside Harumi's compound, I was attacked. I thought at first it was a Lin Kuei assassin. But his strikes were uncertain, too angry. My attacker, it turns out, was a boy. Homeless and hungry, his assault was born of desperation. He needed money so that he could eat. It was looking at myself, fifteen years ago. I would've ended up just like him, if the Lin Kuei hadn't taken me in. So I took the boy to Kuai Liang, who also appreciated his fire. We made him our first initiate. The boy's name? Hanzo Hasashi

• Raiden : Wasn't I to face Hanzo today?

  Smoke : Kuai Liang didn't feel he was ready.

• Johnny Cage : How goes it with the new boy, Hanzo?

  Smoke : He'll soon be a full Shirai Ryu.

• Liu Kang : Hanzo must master his anger.

  Smoke : We will teach him the way.

• Ashrah : Beware of young Hanzo's rage, Tomas.

  Smoke : Don't worry. Kuai Liang and I will tame it.

• Smoke : Your thoughts on our new initiate?

• Omni-Man : Let me guess, you "vape" people to death?

  Smoke : I don't flee from any opponent.

• Smoke : I rejected the Lin Kuei to fight for justice.

  Omni-Man : Easy, kid. I go where I please.

• Quan Chi : I'll send your limbs back to Kuai Liang one at a time.

  Smoke : That's the creepiest thing anyone's ever said to me.

• Quan Chi : I now control your mother's and sister's souls.

  Smoke : Release them, Quan Chi!

• Quan Chi : The littlest Lin Kuei has come to fight me.

  Smoke : Try the Shirai Ryu's second-in-command.

• Quan Chi : Enough with your youthful exuberance.

  Smoke : I'm glad it annoys you.

• Smoke : As the smoke rises, I will disappear.

  Johnny Cage : You ever think about playing Vegas?

• Smoke : You really like my mask, Johnny?

  Johnny Cage : It's smoking!

• [Custom AI Intros] 

  Omni-Man : There's something off about you, you're not Smoke are you?

  Smoke : That's right, I'm actually Spider-Man.

• Sub-Zero : You were never truly one of us.

  Smoke : Were Father here, he would disagree.

• Sub-Zero : I've gained the Lin Kuei's freedom.

  Smoke : You've only earned them infamy.

• Sub-Zero : Resist me, and there will be consequences.

  Smoke : And to think I once idolized you.

• Ashrah : Who was it that taught you magic?

  Smoke : Xiaoqing, the Lin Kuei's Elder Arcanist.

• Ashrah : Your anger with Bi-Han still smolders?

  Smoke : Where there's smoke, there's fire.

  Smoke : Enjoy that feeling while it lasts.

• Smoke : You fight for peace?

  Peacemaker : And I'll kill anyone I have to, to get it.

  Smoke : Whatever you say, old timer.

  [CLASH] 

  Sektor : The Daily Bugle...

  Omni-Man : Shut up, Earthrealm is mine!
