I played the other day against a Cage that totally shut me down. I'd like some advice against this matchup, and I appologize if this is a noob question.
From long distance, his ball throw blocked me from fans / air fans. Also stopped me from trying to jump in. So trying to get in, at about medium range he'd SK. Usually I could just duck and d1 poke, but he'd catch me sometime with ex SK. Up close, I was also owned. There's a kick combo he'd keep doing, and if I did knock him down, SK or flip kick. And I'd be back to square one. I felt like I had no good options.
Also have seen a few more QC lately too. The only real difficulty I have with him is the stomp. The stomp can land right on me, or to either side (sometimes he's off the screen for a second if I was against the edge of the viewable area, not in the corner though). I know I'm supposed to be able to NJP it, but it never seems to work (yes, I'm playing online). I feel like I must be missing something obvious.
