Agent Smith Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
✔︎ Kit has plenty of attacks that can ring enemies out ✔︎ Has a lot of attacks you can charge for more damage or utility	✖︎ No reliable gap closer ✖︎ Projectile attacks have a short range

Agent Smith is a very durable character as his Bruiser nature and the damage from his abilities allow him to ringout opponents with ease. He is one of the more tricky characters to use though as you will need to really spend some time practicing his abilities to get smooth combos flowing.

Agent Smith Moveset and Abilities

Ground Attacks

Agent Smith's ground moves feature multiple grab attacks in Silent_Treatment, Grapple_Protocol, and Going_Viral. These moves allow him to really get up close and personal to opponents, allowing him to follow up with his other melee attacks.

Aerial Attacks

Many of Agent Smith's aerial moves utilize the same chargeable ground moves, mainly his Aerial_Upper_Cut and C#-Shooter among others. While these are similar to their ground versions, they allow Agent Smith to maneuver better while in the air.

Passive Abilities

Passive	Effect
Gun_Fu	Smith uses his gun for close range melee attacks that destroy projectiles. He fires his gun one to three times whenever he shoots. This is controlled by the meter, with more shots coming from more meter. Shooting consumes his meter, while melee attacks without his gun refresh it.

Agent Smith's passive allows him to basically extend his range, while also breaking any projectiles that come his way. While not a true ranged attack, the shots coming from his gun gives him more presence while fighting.

Agent Smith Best Perks and Signature Perks

Signature Perks

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Freeze_Protocol	Your agent will hold enemies in place instead of throwing them. Enemies can struggle to escape.	Instead of just throwing an enemy in Agent Smith's direction, this holds them in place and gives you a better opportunity to land attacks.
★★★★☆ Hand_Cannon	Smith's gun attacks will only shoot once, but if he has extra ammo, the attack will have a sweet spot at the end.	This perk increases the damage of Agent Smith's bullets, allowing you to deal more damage anytime you shoot at enemies with a full meter.
★★★☆☆ Buddy_System	Use your up special on an ally to attach to them, then use an extended version of the attack.	This extends your Up + Special attack, allowing you to cover more ground with the teleport.

Universal Perks

Team Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Protective Momentum	Your team gains a projectile shield after running on the ground in the same direction for at least 0.5 seconds. If your teammate also selects this perk, the projectile shield activates faster.	This perk gives Agent Smith more protection when running towards enemies, especially when against opponents with multiple projectile attacks.

Strong Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Speed Force Assist	You receive 5% increased base movement speed	This allows Agent Smith to move around quickly, making up for his lack of a reliable gap closer.
★★★★☆ Airwalker	Inputting a neutral dodge in the air will spawn a platform below you. This platform consumes half of your dodge meter and overrides parry.	Since Agent Smith is designed to fight up close, this gives him additional room to play with. This can also be used to initiate aerial combos.

Standard Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Armor Crush	Your fully charged attacks break armor.	This works well with Agent Smith's Neutral + Special, as you can easily charge this attack in battle.

List of Perks

Agent Smith Best Combos and Moves

Neutral to Side Combo

Neutral + Attack ► Side Attack x3

This combo starts by silencing an enemy then following up with Agent Smith's regular combo and deals 26 damage. This is a quick combo that can ring out enemies at higher damages.

Side Attack to Specials Combo

Side + Attack x2 ► Neutral + Special ► Side + Special

This combo starts with Agent Smith's regular Side + Attack but cancels the last hit to end with a couple of knockback attacks that deals 21 damage and tries to knock enemies out of the platform.

C#-Shooter

This is one of Agent Smith's projectile attacks and can work as an offensive tool to deal damage or to destroy any projectiles headed your way. Since you can charge this attack and change the direction of where to shoot,
this attack works well in any combo as it adds additional damage that can surprise enemies.

Going_Viral

When playing solo, this can be used to initiate fights as your clone grabs an enemy, allowing you to follow up. When playing with an ally, you can use this to teleport to them instantly, when they have an agent buff, to catch enemies off guard.

How to Play Agent Smith

Spam Silent_Treatment

Silent_Treatment renders an enemy vulnerable to attacks by preventing them from using any cooldown abilities. It would be best to use this whenever you have it up to maximize its effects against opponents.

Pay Attention to Your Gun_Fu Meter

Agent Smith's determines whether he shoots 1 or up to 3 bullets. When fighting enemies using melee attacks, you can fill this up so be sure to always check the meter in order to maximize the damage of your gun attacks.
