does f24 d1 f24 work on everyone?

It's weird. Which buffs transfer between rounds is so arbitrary-seeming. Tooling around with Kotal, his Sun God command grab buffs transfer. I don't remember if Impostor Shinnok's stolen moves transfer, but it seems like they do. I don't see why stunt doubles shouldn't.

Pretty sure it does. Tested it on Average sized people and Bigger sized people. Both same outcome. Just make sure you're timing that crouch 1 to get the next set of F24 going.

 

[MrMaxAwesome]

Just some Johnny Cage combos. I hope you guys take these and improve on them and advance our meta.
I want some midscreen bnbs that don't rely on the slow F24.
I know you guys can do this.

 

[KleenexGhost]

I must do research. *Uncle voice*

 

[whosenhowser]

Do you guys think fisticuffs would be more useful if the chip buff was just a given instead of an actual command? Or would that be broken? Cause I can't really figure out its usefulness.

Also anyone got any reliable anti airs?

I agree with this. OR! At least make it recover fast enough after a successful nut punch. Right now I usually only apply it after ending a combo with shadow kick and zone them a little. For AA I would just use uppercut, everything else is super risky. Jump back 3 is really good but Im not sure if you can punish off it.

Any tips for run canceling?

I gotta get used to run. I've accidentally run a few times online. Old habits.

Should I be holding R2, or let it go as soon as my character starts running?

For me, I completely forget about the R2 button as soon as I start running and focus on getting my link in time.

 

[Movieland KerrHolden]

i just do tap f, then f+block, and hold f+b until its time to cancel into whatever normal. most of jc's run cancels so far involve moves like f3, so then i just let go of block and plus 3 when its time. if you are going into a move that doesn't require forward, you can do the same thing but just hold block after the second forward command

simpler then it sounds!

 

[KleenexGhost]

Thanks for the help!

Now that you all got over how to run cancel and how hard Johnny's stunt double run combos are and omg it's so hard, I want to tell you that my man JANNNYCAAAAAAAGEE is way above run cancel.

His stunt double combo works fine MK9 style.

F24, d1, f3 xx db1, dash normal, wait, f3 xx db1, dash normal, wait, f3 xx bd3.

The easiest thing I have ever pulled of in this game by far.

How do you have 3 DB1's in there and still able to dash normal afterwards? Unless they are so high in the air you can land it easily which with the "dash normal, wait, f3" I don't think that's the case.

 

[M.D.]

Yes I'm a retard, forgot to stop db1-ing since I was typing out of my @ss.

The idea was it's the standard combo, but it works without running at all.

Does that hit on the entire cast?

I can go check. I was just using Goro because of the movie. Had to get a little canon action in lol

Works on Mileena, works on Goro. Kinda both extreme in characters sizes I assume it should work on everyone.

I'm still looking for something useful, sorry man lol. Im surprised no one else has found anything good yet.
