What a hypocrisy from all these Johnny mains, talking about whiffing when literally the whole cast has something that whiffs on Johnny because of his crouch block stance.
Can't believe how the title of this thread is still not "Downplaying Johnny".
I guarantee you every single Johnny player on here would be happy to give up his low couching hitbox for a fix to his hitboxes.
Jade? Is that because of the purple thing? Just because of that purple thing doesn't mean she can't get zoned. A lot of times she uses that she's putting her self on risk. On footsies it's even. Up close the same thing. And don't forget Cage's shadow kick super fast to reversal a lot of things that jade does.
Frost. Your zoning is way faster and way more spammable. Even if she tries to use her divekick your projectile will hit her. You have as good range as her.
Jacqui. She gets zoned out. And up close you have fantastic pokes to stop her.
Cassie. Watch ninjakilla and Kombat vs Semij.
Kitana. This one I have no idea how the MU goes.
Frost's grenades are very fast on startup, higher damage and knockdown for plus 40. At the very least shuts down any attempt at spamming and he'll be left just being able to check you fullscreen. Ive not seen high level play but on KL cages have tried and failed to zone me out. Cage can also not check frost with anything aside from a poke after a divebomb.
There was another game where a Cassie shut down a Johnny at a recent tournament. You can't base things off one placement.
Semij also hasn't been able to compete with the rest of the big names in this game. I would like to see a proper top level player pick up these characters.
How does Jacqui get zoned out. She just sits in the duck region and can dash punch or b2 check him.
Fantastic pokes, you mean the ones that get low crushed by her 9f mid lol.
Not to say he's not top but lord he probably does have a bunch of checks that aren't being explored. Also I'll take top tier Johnny over the rest of potato s tier
