yeah i left out a few things, like also, to whiff the camera, you have to basically forego all damage to get crushing blows.Speaking to the Star Power variation. You left out the fact that the sunglasses throw is a mid and still fucking whiffs on crouch blocking players. And the absurd Krushing Blow requirements...yeah, Johnny doesn't get to do KBs in either variation. None of them are viable in competitive play.
These variations weren't though through whatsoever. Why they left out the Stunt Double moves is beyond me. That shit woulda been hype.
Yeah i'll put in more effort next time -probably slides as well, more professional voiceovers, i'm still learning.It was a good video but please next time use the real variation names so nobody would be lost. I know Kano and Johnny so I knew what variations you were talking about but I wouldn't be able to recognize all the variation names for every character yet.
Johnny Showstopper has less tools than his default version. There is no reason to pick it. Say Cheese costs two slots in the variation and is less effective in any way than the default nutpunch. It could have maybe be useful if it didn't replace the nutpunch, so it could have given JC a way to deal damage without risking a breakaway and without increasing the gravity scaling. But no they managed to release a character with arguably the worst variation in the game that doesn't bring anything valuable and disable one of the best special move of the character. GGs NRS
Agreed, I am maining Johnny so far and his say cheese variation is practically useless. I know he isn't that strong in this game so far but I think I just like that he reminds of MK9 in some ways.A bit of a sloppy editting job by myself -but i created this video to point out some of the questionable design of some of the tournament variations in this game.
It's only "Part 1" of a series of videos apparenlty and it just focused on Kano and Johnny Cage as of now.For those of us who can't watch the video, what are the variations in it? Did it include Kitana's Mileena variation, because that one sucks and it really pisses off people who want to dress her up as Mileena and use the sais.
That variation certainly isn’t my preference, but it does have its uses as a better counter-zoning alternative to the other. There are obvious downsides though.For those of us who can't watch the video, what are the variations in it?

His first variation is solid. Problem is that his fistcuffs are useless, there is literally only one punching string which is minus on block lol.Johnny hands down. He looses his ballpunch and gains nothing but the most pointless piece of shit projectile ever.
I mean if you use it outside a combo ender where you give up Oki and it's basically unsafe you're asking to get punished.Fistcuffs double all block damage including fireballs. It's good use it. Just short duration.
It's extremely slow startup is the point, like too slow. I wasn't aware it doubled his kick damage. I thought i tested that.Fistcuffs double all block damage including fireballs. It's good use it. Just short duration.
She is not part of the 5 i picked, i did want to make an honorable mention to the fact that her stance cancel would be great but that gave her that almost meaningless special to replace her fanlift. Her stance makes her zoning better so it wouldn't make the cut as useless.For those of us who can't watch the video, what are the variations in it?

The moves arent trash unusable tier at all. Her air down ball is great for poke crushing. She has more to threaten outside pressure range and her bubble shield ducks highs on startup. Like the other one is better but a few small changes and it would be pretty damn good.Jaquis high tech variation or whatever it’s calles
Agree it's garbageJaquis high tech variation or whatever it’s calles
That variation definitely doesn’t suck man lolFor those of us who can't watch the video, what are the variations in it? Did it include Kitana's Mileena variation, because that one sucks and it really pisses off people who want to dress her up as Mileena and use the sais.
Well cage might not be that great but his but the video is more about the secondary pointless variations. Noob was a consideration, but i do think the LOW slide is a pretty nice option. It's definetely a consideration.Oh, sure enough.. it's Peckapowa. I could make a strong argument (and I'm sure you can too) that both of Johnny Cage's variations are hot garbage.
(PS: I still love you, Peck)
I'd also give a strong vote for Noob Saibot's 1st tournament variation (the one that isn't Dark Sabbath). He has no ways to extend combos outside of the corner, has the useless version of Ghostball, has what amounts to a wasted
