I think they over nerfed him. Im fine with A list not jailing, same with SD, but they left him with no defensive options. Cage doesn't have a 6f poke, or an armored mid. They could've at least done what they did to mileena/goro/takeda and made nutpunch cost 2 bars to launch. Stunt double got hurt bad now that you cannot combo off of shadowkick mimics in the corner, made the 113 mixup nearly useless in that variation. While I remain to play A-list, he is just now a bait and punish character, requiring smart play against some of the new braindead top characters.
