I mean I'm still new to the game and all, but man do I think my boi needs some buffs.

If there are any other PC players here, hit me up. Itching for some KOTH. Had some great times back in MKX with it. Discord made for some fun moments.

After a few weeks of solely playing Johnny, if NRS just fixed the crouch block wiffing issues and nerfs 50/50s in this game, I’m fine leaving Johnny as is.

I like where your head is at, but I want to use Krushing Blows. It's a big part of the game and I want to fucking use it.

flippy kick is pointless to me

I use it as the main combo ender because it leaves them in sweep-ish range as opposed to the better corner carry of shadowkick. Well I mess up my nutpunch midscreen combo online sometimes so I just like having them in footsie range. In certain matchups I just dont use shadowkick at all. If I send Geras fullscreen it's GG. God I hate that character

Oh right!!! Yes I think they should fix his krushing blows for sure! I forgot about that since I never get to use them lol

Highest damage ender. That’s all. Closes rounds.

You guys tell me if it's overkill, But I honestly think there should be a Krushing Blow on level 3 Caged Rage. Maybe the requirements are that you need to land level 3 twice in a match....I also think it should do something like 300 damage. Too much?

The move is already so satisfying to hit smack them with, and you know the animation would be great.

Finally got to playing online so far, having alot of fun with johnny the only thing is for d2 spammers the game plan changes completely.
Does anyone have tips for hit confirming after f34 online? The timing is way different offline even tried changing the offline to online lag settings no issues doing it there.

Some notes

1. His pokes are amazing
2. Fireballs pretty good for a rushdown character
3. Grabs are easy with his pokes
4. Still wish he had 1 mid combo starter but I'm working around it
5. Nut punch restand is really good
6. Krushing blows where are you lol?

Can somebody please explain to me how you're supposed to pull off Johnny Cage's 'No Hollywood Strings Attached' brutality?
I've actually done it before one time, but I have no idea how. The description isn't helpful.

From what I've seen, the final hit has to come from the F3 portion of his F344 string and then during the multi-kicks portion is when the Brutality will trigger. Plus, there's also the aspect of connecting with his 244U4 and B34 strings during the match.

His toolset is there, its just a matter of implementing it. From what I've gathered, Johnny players need to be good at making reads and capitalizing on them. Once the Flawless Block mechanic is implemented more, I can see him getting more playtime.

Which is unfortunate for players like myself who still don't know a majority of the matchups. Or for players like myself who, once we get online, seem to forget our gameplan and try playing rushdown with a footsies-based character.

Don’t forget that you can amp caged rage, and it only comes out on hit so you don’t have to fear wasting the bar. I only say this because I use it a lot and forgot it had an amp for the entire first week.

Kb would be perfectly appropriate. Landing lv3 once should definitely trigger it, on amp so it costs something. If SZ can have a triple slide KB, and Geras can exist, we could definitely have this.

The description reads, "Must Hit with Bad Scripts and No Autographs Kombo Attacks during the match."
I'm assuming this means you have to land these two stings during the match at least once in order for the brutality to activate. It's poorly worded.

It wont come out if you do the u4 ender. The last hit HAS TO COME FROM f344 alone

Yeah, it has to be a confirmed hit with both strings at least once during the match. It won't work if you use them and they're blocked.

 

[MrMaxAwesome]

Mime Time brutal coming from Double Extended is the 2019 A-List Red Flip Kick brutal.

The entire idea of extending Mime Time is a joke in every way, only a gorilla would get caught by that stuff.

Yeah, I just tried it against the AI and it worked. Thanks.

 

[FoughtDragon01]

It's connected to one of the few brutalities I can land consistently. That alone earns its value for me.

 

[SwiftEagle]

yeah, I figured it out. Thanks for the help

@LarSanity it seems online it wont let you special after f344 if you input extra 4's. Is that it?
@Wrath0594 would be cool but I'm on PS4
