Just wanted to say that I'm utterly surprised that basically EVERYONE in this thread has been saying that Johnny Cage is a Top 5 character! Not that I think you guys are wrong, far from it, but good Lord in heaven, this is soooooooooooo fun to read. lmao
Remember when the whole community thought that Cage was terrible? When people thought he was bottom 5? Had non-existent mixups? The worst NJP in the game? Wait,
DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER THE WHOLE "JOHNNY CAGE IS A FORD FOCUS" FIASCO? Omg I'm dying right now lol
Seriously, A-List was barely touched throughout the game's lifespan, he always, ALWAYS had insane pressure (even when he had that "omg mah high attackz ain't hitting 'em crouch blocking mofos" thing which every downplayer was using as excuse for their losses, when in fact they simply sucked), always had plus frames for a lifetime, always had fantastic footsie tools and Dizzy Knee has always been one of the best normals in the whole game.
But you guys are only realizing this now
Man, I'm super tempted to drop a few quotes in here lol This is gold.
