This is pretty disheartening. I honestly don’t give a fuck that you can’t use forceballs or amped forceballs after a string, but to have them completely whiff is ridiculous. This is clearly a variation designed to zone....and he can’t do it any better than he did before.

What was the point of this variation?
come on, how many times do we have to go over this?
it's because Johnny is a FOOTSIE god with plus frames everywhere and has a totally practical way to get 60% unbreakable damage.

Right?!?!?

I understand the other variations and their strengths, but this is wild. Why in the fucking hell so you think it’s ok to create a variation that has moves that don’t do what they’re supposed to do?

As I’m currently testing, the whiffing is worse. Practice mode against Shao Khan...have Shao low block and then jump back twice. the forceballs whiff as outtake but hit has the other two variations. This zoning is much worse.

Wtf.

They don't care about Johnny.
They're willing to make drastic changes that can completely changed a character like giving Frost and Kano fast mids, but only if there's enough crying and sympathy towards a community. Everybody else was complaining and getting liked for it, we complain and we get told we infinite the whole cast with 124. It's unbelievable, this fucking community is shafting us.

I guess we can zone but only from full screen. Cassie can easily low gunshot. Jade can punish with shadow from jump range. Cetrion can teleport, Sonya can still get her rings out, etc...

NANI?!
They should've gone for
Pissed Off
Rising Star
And something else

Honestly, that Stunt Double variation doesn't seem so lackluster now.

I’m gonna pull up for a second. This zoning is going to be cheap as hell as much of the cast. It’s really going to piss people off. Lol.

Side note. The new revenant skins for Cage are so bad. What a lame ass attempt.
 

M.D.

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
With -18 they'd actually want to block it halfscreen to get a punish. We will end up burning a bar for a hope hit. Except sub slide where we're 10-0ed

WTF you can't extend the combo anymore after RS in the corner. Good thing I made those little combo clips, lol.

Johnny didn't get a single necessary fix in this game...but he did get a 9-frame projectile that is plus on block at range. Interesting.

The Force Balls seem solid guys. I'm butt hurt we can't extend combos with RS anymore but it is what it is, it's still a very good move to have. I think we just need to switch up out entire game plan with Outtake. I just lamed the absolute fuck out of a Jax to the point where I was getting bored, lol. It may not be the most fun variation but I think it will have it's uses, let's just give it time. I'd love to see what Sonic is doing with this variation. Top 3 huh? Lol.
