"130 ms is more legit than Labbing" - TYM
  1. too many 4-6
  2. too few 6-4
  3. whiffing issues on half the cast
  4. no kb to match the top tiers
  5. no way to open opponents except throws
Yes you asked him but i like to match your annoyance.

Also my reasons are god tier valid and correct.
4 of those points are lies

His forceballs whiff, his F3 is a slow high in terms of priority, very susceptible to D1 D4 spamming, hitbox attached to his footsies, no oki, throw leaves opponent full screen, no KB on SJ or the new variation, no hit confirm mid, risky bad inconsistent anti airs and much much more.
Lmao at taking a MagicMan question seriously.

Stop responding to this clown.

AHNLINE KOMBOS LMFAO

@Name v.5.0 give me 5 good reasons johnny isnt top tier GO

Just tossing out a list is stupid. I can say one little sentence, but each one would require more than a paragraph for better understanding. I think this is why you're getting so much push back here. You don't understand that it's not as simple as "Oh he has plus frames for days!" or "Check out that unbreakable damage". Everything is situational and guys like me who have played thousands of matches with Cage understand that. But here's your god damn list.

  • Highs that whiff on low blocking opponents
  • Lack of significant KBs
  • Weak stagger game in a meta that has the top tiers staggering all day
  • No hit confirmable mids
And I'll follow that up with what keeps him out of low tier:

  • range on good normals
  • plus frames that allow for mind games
  • unbreakable damage
  • Above average damage
  • ability to convert
  • restands

@Rain and Light
Whiffing is an issue but that doesnt mean shit because you dont have to do it because his normals are fine (PLEASE DONT DO IT)
A move is a high so its bad?
No oki means nothing again because you have to explain why he needs it
Throw means he can zone
The krushing blows is another fact but that doesnt take from him, it just doesnt
WHY DOES HE NEED A HITCONFIRM MID?
AA idk about

Look if you don't play the character, but want to upplay them, that's already a bad start, but If that's your thing, go ahead and have a discussion but please be respectful. There's literally no need to throw insults over a character in a game. It's childish and not needed and certainly not productive.

Also, I wasn't a believer until I played him seriously. He's not top tier.

Bro why would you run a long set with someone if it was LAGGY?! When did it become laggy my dude? After your 10th L? Your 15th? At what point wouldn’t you be like “damn I’m losing cause of da laggy lag I’m outta here!”
@Hellbringer was it laggy bro?
If it was laggy and unplayable he wouldnt even play so long. Besides i play with 160 ping too. The funny thing about this guy is that he removed me from steam after he claimed that u cant jail low pokes on hit into s1 or s2 and i disagreed. Oh well good riddance anyway.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh ok.

A high shouldn't whiff on a lock blocking opponent. NRS calls a bug a feature. We aren't just talking about the forceballs here...

No Oki in a game where the best characters have Oki that results in a mid/throw guess. Johnny has no mid/throw oki game. It's not that he needs it, we're explaining how it keeps him from being top tier.

He has a great fireball...thats for sure. I use the shit out of it after I knock someone down, but it's not a proper zoning tool against half the cast.

Look at the top tier. KBs for fucking days. I dont know how else to spell that one out for you.

He doesn't necessarily need a hitconfirmable mid. But literally all the top tiers have one. If I had one, my opponents wouldn' d3/4 my feet with reckless abandon. There's no way to put fear into them.




I mean how do you look at the top tier in this meta, and think Cage belongs there?
